I like that this article about using an android phone with a keyboard includes a video so you can see how much faster it is at launching an app than using an iPhone. https://www.theverge.com/23673548/keyboard-phone-2023-features-unihertz-titan-pocket
Somewhere in time and space, things are happening.
Oh, just discovered the next reboot of the reboot of the DC universe is set to include the authority, so there's something else for them to ruin.
Is there anything worth watching on HBO/max? Can't recall the last time I opened the app.

This is an early access game, but has a chance to be a really special one on #OpenBSD - a first-person card-based dungeon crawler called Deepest Chamber: Resurrection. From Balcony Softworks, the makers of Balrum. I'd like to give a shoutout to the devs - I had mentioned to them on Xitter that if they added a `-nosteam` flag, we might be able to run it on OpenBSD. A few weeks later, they got back to me - on Youtube because I have since deleted my Xitter account! They have added the flag and now I can run version 0.934 on OpenBSD!! #PlayOnBSD

@shadowfacts okay, wow. I thought for sure it'd be something like recursive walk of the entire filesystem per package or something. That's even more spectacular. Actually CPU limited.

@zev I was thinking actually about "def" and decided it's bad because it doesn't even tell us what's being defined. But defun is just nonsense. Unless you're defining an un.
The three acceptable keywords to introduce a function (should your language need one) are "fn", "func", and "function". You may not use "fun". Unacceptable.

I know this only because I had to do it, but the install directions for e.g. lemmy include downloading and installing a statically linked imagemagick, which is vulnerable.
Has anybody assessed mastodon exposure to webp vuln? It transcodes the image using the bad library, no? (Honk uses a go webp decoder. I'm guessing it might crash, but no worse if it gets the naughty image.)

Okay, giving up on this as a bust. I can't even type "<b>eat it" and have it appear. It doesn't escape the tag. It doesn't pass the tag. It simply eats the tag and outputs "eat it". I don't want to have to remember to use

I think part of the problem is I fundamentally misunderstood markdown syntax from the start, and so now I don't like the output of anything that does it correctly. Consider a table: I think the text below should be outside the table. But apparently there should be another table row with a single column of that text. What? One of the principles of markdown was supposedly that it simply marks up plain text as a human would interpret it. I would never interpret that text to be part of the table.
| header one | header two |
| --- | --- |
| value 1 | value 2 |

As usual, the 90% that works works great, but the last 10% seems annoying. Honk and friends have weird quirks where some things don't render correctly, but they also have fixes to make other cases render just the way I like.

@ryan I have a gen 6 hybrid. It's quite nice as an unobtrusive classic watch, but with some advanced features. It's also possible to customize the firmware, although I haven't gotten to that point. https://www.skagen.com/en-us/smartwatches/learn-more/gen-6-hybrid-smartwatches/
I've given in to crowd wisdom and am once again evaluating legit markdown converters with grown up parsers.
