    @cstanhope and those shared libs were built with a 6 year old version of gcc. why won't they give us the source. :(

    @cstanhope so I bought a pixma ts9020 and... bad news: requires a proprietary driver. canon provides a "source" tarball with a bunch of GPL2 licensed stuff, but upon further inspection they just build executables that dlopen proprietary shared libraries. it's a paperweight. :(

    I thought that my interest in the "shoegaze" guitar sound was a more recent phenomenon, but I've been a Deftones fan for a long time and their guitarist incorporates that style *a lot* and I just didn't make the connection.

    well this article about GDPR just dunks on us americans with our terrible notion of what "privacy" means:

    "Europe’s data protection regime stands in stark contrast to that of the U.S., which has no single overarching, cross-sector, or cross-situational data protection law.
    [...]
    This cultural difference often sees American developers struggling with the concept of privacy as a fundamental human right enshrined in law, a situation which has no U.S. equivalent."

      How GDPR Will Change The Way You Develop
      from Smashing Magazine
      GDPR requires you to be more thoughtful about the sites and services you build, more transparent about the ways you collect and use data, more considerate of your users, and more thorough in your development and documentation processes.

    Alcest's Shelter album gets *a lot* of flak (0% black metal, 100% shoegaze) and this song didn't even make the album proper but I still think it's awesome.

    I rarely comment on reddit threads anymore. there's a small subreddit named r/fightsticks (arcade joysticks for playing fighting games) that I was subscribed to. a user posted a picture of the decorations they made for theirs and one of them was the racist "de way" meme. I tried to softly point out the problem with that meme and have received several downvotes (3 downvotes is a lot for that tiny subreddit). reddit sucks.

    this is definitely just a case of competing access needs but to me, the proliferation of CW's is an accessibility nightmare verging on making the site actually unusable to me. I don't have very good fine motor control and i also have ADHD that makes it kind of hard to focus on things and the combination of those two make it basically impossible for me to actually read things behind CW's and i often log in to see the entire page just completely covered with them. I'm definitely not saying they shouldn't exist or people shouldn't use them, but we do need a way to just turn them off by default or expand-all or something

    ran masto through the webaim accessibility checker. if you view the page without any style (as someone using a screen reader might), it's, uh... awful. i couldn't figure out how to post this toot without reloading back to its styled state.

    glad we have image descriptions, but accessibility is more than image descriptions.

    links to notifications/local/ftl appear nonfunctional.

    yes i know this should be on github but i'm gathering my thoughts.

    I saw master/slave terminology in godot 3.0 release notes and hoped that the project would do the right thing when someone inevitably, reasonably asked for it to be changed.

    turns out someone already asked for it to be changed in march 2017 and the lead dev called the complaint "stupid".

    a-ha! the ruby sdk repo has spec files. not sure if there's a more convenient location.
