I never got the appeal of ergonomic keyboards. Maybe my hands are just different 😅

I had an idea, and now I’m wondering… how well could this approach scale…?

I never really got the jargon for “divisor,” “numerator,” etc. into my head… Basic stuff, I know.
Subtraction: minuend - subtrahend = difference
Addition: addend + addend = sum
Division: dividend / divisor = quotient
Division: numerator / denominator = ratio
Multiplication: multiplier × mutliplicand = product
And now we both know! Never again will we get confused reading elementary math texts.

this AI music-video… it’s nonsense and looks so bad…
this song doesn’t deserve it. god is dead, who thought this was a good idea…
the original music video is superior in every way, objectively. there is literally no angle in which it loses. :gutkato_kapaŭskultiloj:

You’ve got to break some eggs to make an omelette, after all.

Watching System Crafters’ “Craft your system with GNU Guix” playlist, one video a day (or so). And while I’m not planning moving away from Debian any time soon, it’s interesting, even if it takes a bit more time Too bad I don’t have another PC to play with it.

Anyone who used both Dino and Psi(+), how the first one compares to the second? 🤔
P.S. I wonder if Kaidan is alive…
Do you love blobcats? Are you a fan of free culture? Then you’ll be happy to know there’s been a brand new blobcat pack made specially (but not exclusively) for the Fediverse! Now also available in English!
Designed from scratch for a neater look, these new blobcats try their best to preserve and emphasise the original’s fuzzy feel. Bold, yet lean. Refined, yet silly. Blob, yet cat.
And best of all? They’re all free! Not just free of cost, but free to use, share, and change in whatever way you see fit! Possibly the first truly original blobcat pack released under a free culture licence. What’s a blob if not malleable? Make them yours today! (Or tomorrow. No pressure.)
More info on the website, link above. Come in for a visit!

Mastodon ought to up their cache game. Months have passed since we’ve renovated our blobcats, yet most instances I come across still show the old ones. :gutkato_malĝojeta:
If the last two look different from the first two to you, you too are being tricked by your cache!
I wonder if there’s something wrong on our side?

Sincerely, a miffed goblin forced to deal with Swagger.
… strike that, YAML’s fine. It’s Swagger’s fault. No, strike that. It’s JS’es fault. No, strike that, it’s God’s fault.
This whole “Earth” thing was a poor experiment to begin with.

I wish I didn’t have to create new accounts to post from different RP personas…
Looks like Bluesky doesn’t set lang attribute on (my bridged from here) posts. ¹ Not good as that can affect font rendering.
¹ At least I can’t see any, but with the website being a JS salad…
Today, in my search for a way to create GUI applications without suffering, I have looked into Pascal, which seemed like a nice language with a mature environment for this purpose.
Playing around with the language, I ran into an odd error: Pascal allows one to set boundaries for an array, and each boundary may be specified using a constant one has declared earlier. However, this doesn’t work if a type is declared for said constant.
After some time spent searching, I found a forum thread where the issue is explained thusly:
e.g. using a typed constant allows you to actually change the value of the constant.
Object Pascal offers two different sorts of consts: ‘proper’ consts that are constant (as you might expect), and typed consts that are initialized variables. Naming the latter sort ‘const’ is a frequent source of confusion for newcomers to Pascal, but it was introduced by Borland, and FPC preserves the same syntax for compatibility with Delphi.
So in this language, which has separate declarations for constants and variables, there is a non-obvious way to disguise the latter as the former, for historical reasons. If that’s any indication of what one may expect from the rest of Pascal…
… there’s no way! There’s just no way to make a GUI application without suffering, is there?!
> The keepalive initialization option to the global fetch() method and the Request() constructor are now supported, along with the Request.keepalive property. keepalive can be set to true to prevent the browser from aborting the associated request if the page that initiated it is unloaded before the request is complete. This might be used, for example, to send analytics at the end of a session, even if the user navigates away from or closes the page.
