oh, iOS mangles the encoding when importing Vcard 4.0 files… they look like valid UTF-8… let's check the spec for encoding info

the spec: the charset is UTF-8. there is no way to change this.

So I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to tell if a particular app is running in Wayland or XWayland.

This is the answer I get off Stack Overflow. I'm thinking… No. No, that's too silly. It can't be the best way.

I keep researching. It's the best way.

You run xeyes.

Wayland has security that keeps windows from knowing about mouse events in other windows. XWayland doesn't.

Xeyes will track your cursor whenever you're over an XWayland window, then stop if you pass over anything else.

oo nice, Android's unknown tracker alerts rolled out to my phone

ideal would be some sort of 3D imaging setup so it has my current clothes and comes complete with artifacts and errors, to really make sure people can tell that this is just what I look like outside of the game

I wonder what it would cost to get a vrchat avatar made that looks exactly like me wearing full VR gear, y'know, as an art piece

pretty sure it's not heat this time, I'm just playing with the side panel off now

Little PSA: the 'official' Mastodon apps for iOS and Android aren't fully developed and are missing features. They can be problematic for things like adding/editing alt text, and don't allow for posting in 'unlisted' so many folk aren't aware that Unlisted is a post privacy option at all.

We don't really recommend using those apps because of this, and the community-made apps tend to be much better developed and supported. Check out Tusky, Mona, Ivory, Toot!, Ice Cubes, Mammoth - (cont)

(it's my fault, I shouldn't cool it with GPU exhaust)

god the new Ratchet game is so good I'm not even mad that my CPU keeps overheating while playing

I am begging tech bros to stop re-inventing public transportation

okay maybe Ratchet wasn't actually crashing my computer but simply overheating the CPU… oops. Boosted the case fans a little which should help bring in more cool air instead of pre-warmed GPU exhaust

The new port of Quake 2 updates the secret dev room so now Jennell Jaquays is credited properly. Hooray!

(Yes, this is literally the first thing I checked)

When it works though, my PC can run it without upscaling at 1440p60 and gosh it's gorgeous

hm, yeah, Ratchet & Clank is a bit crashy, like, take down the whole computer crashy

extra funny because I just found one of those decayed links not in a qr code but as a normal link

Show thread

why do people keep using those qr code generator websites that add a short link that decays
