@lyncia (thank you..!)
i had a wacom induction stylus before this, but the amount it would just intermittently fail to draw lines made it pretty painful to sketch anything on my phone, so i kinda just stopped doing that
it'll be really nice to not have this problem anymore (plus! i can use pressure sensitivity now!)
so, i got a sonarpen!
it's basically an induction stylus that uses a headphone jack to communicate pressure sensitivity~

Hey all, if you have a Google Pixel 6/7 or a Samsung phone: Disable VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling until this issue is patched: https://9to5google.com/2023/03/16/google-exynos-modem-vulnerabilities/
tl;dr: Tests conducted by Project Zero confirm that those four vulnerabilities allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone at the baseband level with no user interaction, and require only that the attacker know the victim’s phone number. With limited additional research and development, we believe that skilled attackers would be able to quickly create an operational exploit to compromise affected devices silently and remotely.
Google's Project Zero usually makes vulnerability reports public after 90 days. This is an exception because it goes directly from internet to baseband-level (tl;dr: the second OS inside your phone that powers the LTE/5G modem) remote code execution. This is morally equivalent to getting code running on your WiFi card.
Here is a list of the most likely affected devices:
- Samsung Galaxy phones including those in the S22, M33, M13, M12, A71, A53, A33, A21, A13, A12, and A04 series
- Vivo phones including those in the S16, S15, S6, X70, X60, and X30 series
- Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
- Any wearables that use the Exynos W920 chipset
- Any vehicles that use the Exynos Auto T5123 chipset
Helpfully, the baseband is a binary blob of uninspectable firmware that users can't inspect or prove hasn't been tampered with.
@Gankra (i understand now though! since you replied why to someone else--i missed it initially because that instance doesn't federate with awoo yet)
@Gankra ah!
i was mostly asking because i didn't know why it was type-system-hostile, and wondered if that was just because i came from java-land, which historically has been pretty bad when it comes to type safety
@Gankra ooh! how does it compare to Optional::map from java? (which applies a lambda to a value if it exists, and returns an Optional<T> of the return type, which needs to be inferrable by the compiler)
aaaa, i haven't drawn anything for today
i hope i'll have a chance to
by the way! the manhole thing is because the mie prefecture has oshawott as their mascot pokemon: https://local.pokemon.jp/en/municipality/mie/
there's even an oshawott train there, which is Extremely Good imo
there was also this! which, first of all, is adorable
but also, wha-
(the full thing is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PNVgYX9-VU)
like legit, 6 oshawott-themed manhole covers were unveiled that are actually getting put into actual psychical locations
here's a video of what they look like! https://nitter.se/pokemon_pdc/status/1634026484976488449
oh woww! so it's oshawott day today (#ミジュマルの日), and usually that means a lot of really cool fanart
but this year, it seems like there's like, actual?? things??? being released????
@codl downloading shitty open source cars with f-zero
@magical my hobby is saying "literally!" to every intentional double entendre and observing how many people didn't get it
@monorail kirby's cool game for attractive people
@icculus this isn't mine, buuut i'd like to nominate fennel!
it's a clojure-inspired lisp that runs on lua runtimes with zero overhead over lua itself, with fancy destructuring, pattern matching, and lisp macros~ (among other things)
