someone mentioned discord using up a huge ton of resources when typing awhile ago, now I'm getting that lol discord CPU usage goes up to 7-10% while I'm typing, and when I type too fast or hold the backspace button discord starts lagging it's so bad that when I hold down a single key (or backspace), characters stop appearing (or disappearing) in the input box until I stop holding it

In the distant future of 2026, we have developed advanced technology that somehow makes basic text input laggy on a PC with more computational power than a supercomputer from 1996.

The name “JPEG XL” implies the existence of other next-generation file formats such as:
• Big PDF

By far my favorite chart from any of @jonbois.bsky.social's videos

This is a classic example of optical correction for intersecting lines in font design.

To make the diagonal appear straight at the center of the cross, the type designer slightly breaks and shifts it inward.

post from @ari@fedi.arimelody.space: We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had open-source. We had right to repair. We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, sold ethical, repairable laptops, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no, you just had to blow it up. You. And your pride and your ego. You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now. [picture of a framework laptop]

please don't, i avoid them too - after my stunt in minecraft modding i wish to never deal with a funny license for something important ever again

Please only do this if you don't want *anyone* to use your code, or it isn't a library. There is no way for me to vet every author of every dependency I use, and even if I did, what if they go crazy in 10 years? Actually fixing the open-source license ecosystem should involve lawyers, not memes.

Is it possible to support the *concept* of a military, but not the military-industrial complex? I feel like these are two separate things.

Like, if you don't have a military, you either have a military sugar-daddy, or die. Clearly having or borrowing a military is necessary for self-defense.
