I like the idea of Element/Matrix much more than I like actually using it

every time I see the Dead Island: Definitive Edition Steam artwork I go "oh hey it's Jerma"

biking is also more fun than sport to me but my bike needs some work before a big trip, it's very rainy rn and there's hills here that make it less fun unless you have a good transmission

did a solid bit of swimming yesterday (it's the one sport that doesn't really feel like sport for me) and I barely feel it today which either means I'm getting used to it or I'm gonna be double destroyed tomorrow

Apple Music put this in one of my playlists and it's so good youtu.be/MQlUS3YhmX8

really funny that they "leak" it by letting Laura play the thing with (almost) zero explanation or context

I've received my first sample from the commercial run of Glasgow Interface Explorer glasgow-embedded.org for evaluation

it is *beyond excellent*. it exceeds any standard I could possibly have for it. the team (1bitSquared and everyone else who collaborated) working on it deserves the highest praise

if you use gBoard (or maybe other soft keyboards on Android? I bet it's in the AOSP one too), selecting a line of text and hitting the shift key will change its capitalization all at once, which is great for deciding to ALL-CAPS something post-writing or using Title Case For Dramatic Effect

Does anyone know any alternative to postman? I just need the scratchpad functionality but I can't find their supposed replacement for it (the "lightweight client") and also for some reason the software is a massive CPU hog on my new work machine

:boost_ok: does anyone have a broken Nintendo DSi or DSi XL lying around? (preferably in Europe for shipping reasons)

I need a few more consoles to do the following:

* sand/polish down each layer of the PCB and image them
* document all the testpoints on the DSi XL PCB (which are, unlike the regular DSi's, not properly labeled)
* document the last few remaining unknown pins of the CPU-TWL SoC

this is of course destructive, so that's why I don't want to do this with still-working consoles

I wanna play ratchet on pc but a) it's sixty euros for an a two year old game and b) no raytracing on amd yet so I guess I'll wait

mastodon should fold threads or allow more than 500 characters

Okay it's fixed now so I guess I can tell you what this was

For about a week there, after introducing the new link preview layout last Sunday, Mastodon.social had *no limit* on the length of an OpenGraph article title. To test this, I crafted an otherwise blank HTML page whose OpenGraph title was the complete text of the Communist Manifesto. Anytime this page was linked in a mastodon.social timeline, it resulted in a preview with a 6,000 line title. This is how long it took to scroll through:
