i love seeing creative qr code designs, so i made this guide explaining what tricks you can (and can't!) do with qr codes while still keeping them very much readable
have fun and make cool stuff!!
i know this will get me absolutely castrated in foss spaces, but i never got the appeal of blobcat and similar emojis. they just make me think of google, and i fucking hate google. it feels like they kinda stand in the way of any reason to make better looking emojis that are original and not based off the old android ones
It's so hot; stay cool however you can, fam! đ„” Use water responsibly. đŠ
The Amiga "module" music format was hugely popular in the 1990s, with tens of thousands of songs written in "tracker" tools, often used in games and demoscene productions. Mostly on the Amiga, of course, but PC games like Jazz Jackrabbit and the original Deus Ex used music based on the same technology.
The very first "tracker" composing tool was The Ultimate Soundtracker by Karsten Obarski in 1987, a commercial release with one disk containing the program and some example songs, and a second disk containing a selection of instrument samples composers could use.
In the very early days of tracker modules, those were the only samples available, and they were heavily used by just about everyone. Even once people started making their own samples, they were still heavily used, and to a certain extent became the unofficial Amiga soundfont.
Today I learned that despite its significance, this first sample disk is lost media. All the samples survive in thousands of modules, but every sample has a bunch of variants from accidental disk corruption or intentional modification, and it's not always clear exactly which one is the original. Even among things *claiming* to be images of the original sample disk, different images have different sets of samples, or different versions of the same samples. We don't even know if Obarski kept the same sample disk for each release of his software, or if he updated it over time - and if he did, which versions shipped with which samples.

Apple did a good job with Voice Control (not Siri) which lets someone who canât use their arms control basically everything on an iPad with their voice. iOS app developers, sadly, donât always support it well. Latest: HBO. Now if you pause a video, an ad slides in at the side of the screen⊠and prevents you from restarting with Voice Control.
When you have a disabled family member, you become quite attuned to all the things that short circuit good tools that already exist for them.
When I was at Google, someone told me a story about a time that âtheyâ completed a big optimization push only to find that measured page load times increased. When they dug into the data, they found that the reason load times had increased was that they got a lot more traffic from Africa after doing the optimizations. The teamâs product went from being unusable for people with slow connections to usable, which caused so many users with slow connections to start using the product that load times actually increased.
