TDE’s Qt 3 fork drops the 3
The Trinity Desktop Environment, the continuation of the final KDE 3.x release updated and maintained for modern times, consists of more than just the KDE bits you may think of. The project also maintains a fork of Qt 3 called TQt3, which it obviously needs to be able to work on and improve TDE itself, which is based on it. In the beginning, this fork consisted mainly of renaming things, but in recent years, more substantial changes meant that the code diverged considerably fr … ⌘ Read more

slowing working away at my latest code project: learning PHP by recreating the 2000s fandom mainstay known as a fanlisting! it’s been super fun i added a dynamic nav bar and other modifications in the latest commit
fanlistings even to this day rely on old PHP scripts dating back to the early 2000s that need whole ass mySQL or postgres DBs and are incredibly insecure. you can look at them here they’re like super jank lol it’s sad that new fanlistings have to use them because there’s no other options….

Hey @kat If you see this, I'm aware of a bug. I'm trying to figure it out and fix it. bare with me 🤗 It is what's causing things to "stall" and to have to "restart". Sorry 😞

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I’ve almost fixed this btw 🤗 Just testing it thoroughly and polihsing the code. In case you’re curious, I do this style of development called “Observability Driven Development” (ODD) whereby I make observations of the system via metrics and internal observations and adjust the system’s overall behavior to the desired outcome 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I set up a test feed here:

OSle: a tiny boot sector operating system
OSle is an incredibly small operating system, coming in at only 510 bytes, so it fits entirely into a boot sector. It runs in real-mode, and is written in assembly. Despite the small size, it has a shell, a read and write file system, process management, and more. It even has its own tiny SDK and some pre-built programs. The code’s available under the MIT license. ⌘ Read more

PATH isn’t real on Linux
I have no idea how much relevance this short but informative rundown of how PATH works in Linux has in the real world, but I found it incredibly interesting and enlightening. The basic gist – and I might be wrong, there’s code involved and I’m not very smart – is that Linux itself needs absolute paths to binaries, while shells and programming languages do not. In other words, the Linux kernel does not know about PATH, and any lookup you’re doing comes from either the shell or the pr … ⌘ Read more

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz yes, both the newsletter and the podcast, from time to time.
@prologic@twtxt.net I was not expecting much, but since the list of restaurants near company buildings, was hard coded into it, I did expect it to at least copy the menu text, from the websites, in its database. Ironically, the only restaurant where it got something right, is the only one, where the websites has the text as a transparent PNG, the AI has to convert to text.

⤋ Read More
7 to 12 and use the first 12 characters of the base32 encoded blake2b hash. This will solve two problems, the fact that all hashes today either end in q or a (oops) 😅 And increasing the Twt Hash size will ensure that we never run into the chance of collision for ions to come. Chances of a 50% collision with 64 bits / 12 characters is roughly ~12.44B Twts. That ought to be enough! -- I also propose that we modify all our clients and make this change from the 1st July 2025, which will be Yarn.social's 5th birthday and 5 years since I started this whole project and endeavour! 😱 #Twtxt #Update

Why is there a “small house” in IBM’s Code Page 437?

AI problems, top to bottom:

2: Subpar artists and techbros who can’t code, convinced AI image bashing and vibe coding, will help convince the dumber parts of Internet, they are a real deal.
3: Parasites, using AI to scam people, because they just want passive income, selling crap, made by an automated process.
Side: Adobe&co, killing Flash/old web, pricing new artists and developers out, to face learning curves of free tools, or use AI, peddled as solution.
