[02:01] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Tinder settled a class action lawsuit.
[02:01] IsambardPrince It covers anyone living in California who bought Tinder Gold or Plus after 2015 and was over the age of 29.
[02:01] IsambardPrince They were charging older users more than younger ones.

[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] In Britain, it's not usual for private individuals to own woodland. Most woodland is either part of huge country estates, or owned by state agencies like the Forestry Commission.
[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] In the south-east of England, family-sized plots of woodland are expensive. In the London area, where I live, they're ruinously expensive. The situation gets worse and worse every year, as more and more of the countryside gets flattened for housing and roads. I can only afford my own wood because I first bought one decades ago, when a modest plot could be had for about the same price as a car.
[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] I bought my first wood on a whim.

[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] I have completed the release of Indra 1.3.0 for Ubuntu Touch. Indra is a Meshtastic app for Ubuntu Touch, allowing you to chat off-grid with friends, family, and neighbors. The new version comes with a wealth of new features, and it is slowly approaching parity with the official apps.

[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] I have taken on a third Ubuntu Touch app project: patching and packaging the Lagrange Gemini browser for Ubuntu Touch. This might sound like it would be simple, but there are a lot of platform-specific quirks in Ubuntu Touch that makes running Lagrange properly more difficult than it should be. Lagrange -actually- does run out of the box, without modification, on Ubuntu Touch, and behaves reasonably well. Th
[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] e touch input works, gestures work, and so on. In fact, there is a snap for Lagrange that runs on Ubuntu Touch.
[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] Unfortunately, "runs" does not mean "works for the user" in this case. The problem, as with most non-QT Ubuntu Touch apps, is the keyboard. The Ubuntu Touch keyboard wiring is present only in the Lomiri UI toolkit stack, and anything that is NOT using that will not interact with the keyboard, at least not properly.

[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] At work there's more and more of a push to use generative AI for basically anything. Reading emails, writing emails, writing code, you name it. Part of this is coming from the very top, where bespectacled schmucks who've never written any meaningful code in their life have been taken by the promises of Microsoft, Anthropic, and OpenAI. But part of it as well is being driven by some of my fellow colleagues, w
[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] ho see AI tools as a way of doing more, faster.
[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] I didn't get a smart phone until 2017, and since then I've been kind of appalled at how it's rewired my brain: I'm no longer content with boredom, I can feel it burning in my pocket, and at any moment, I feel like I want to take it out, check my email, check Bluesky, check Reddit. Everything people say about smart phones is true: not just about how convenient they are, how many capabilities they offer you, but how they mess with y
[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] our concentration and focus. Almost ten years later, I think back. Would I be more productive without a smart phone? In some ways, no. In many ways, yeah.

[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] Inspired by darkghost, I decided to try out Haiku. I used BeOS back in the day and I was curious to see if Alhena would work. Getting Haiku running on my system was half the battle. It was painfully slow in VirtualBox. I tried a bootable USB stick and it was much faster but would slow to a crawl after a few minutes. It turns out the answer was counterintuitive: Set the VM to use only one CPU. Much better. I
[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] have no idea why the USB method slowed down but the symptoms were similar. Probably my PC.
[04:36] schestowitz[TR2] The next adventure: Alhena wouldn't start. The Haiku OpenJDK would report true for isTaskbarSupported() but then throw an exception on Taskbar.getTaskbar(). I found modal dialogs weren't modal. The Haiku JVM only supports application modality so don't try using document modality. I dealt with these oddities by testing for Haiku and setting accordingly.

[04:43] MinceR what's the advantage of HTML 3.2 over HTML 4?
[04:43] IsambardPrince It's simpler.
[04:43] IsambardPrince HTML 4 had a Transitional and Strict version.
[04:43] MinceR is HTML 2.0 not even simpler?
[04:44] IsambardPrince It introduced metadata that I didn't like.
[04:45] IsambardPrince If I was going to move to HTML 4 and declare a subset, it would be Transitional.
[04:46] IsambardPrince It retains support for deprecated features where the Strict version tells you to use CSS instead.
[04:46] MinceR what's wrong with CSS?
[04:47] IsambardPrince Stylesheets are much larger and it's another thing to learn.
[04:48] IsambardPrince There's nothing "wrong" with stylesheets other than I didn't feel like learning more and more things just to have a simple site.

[04:50] IsambardPrince There should have been a baseline media codec of some sort.
[04:51] MinceR yeah, but W3C was already taken over by then
[04:51] IsambardPrince Apple has inserted all sorts of badly written and insecure codec shit into Safari, and so has Google with Chrome.
[04:51] IsambardPrince HEIC, WebP, and JPEG-2000 should have never been in anything.
[04:51] MinceR that's also how DRM ended up in a spec that they advertise as an "open" "standard" for the "open" web
[04:52] IsambardPrince I do however support Google's decision to reverse their previous decision and add support for JPEG-XL.
[04:52] IsambardPrince Unlike JPEG-2000, HEIC, and WebP, JPEG-XL brings tangible benefits over 1992 JPEG that are worth having another codec in the browser.
[04:52] IsambardPrince WebP support should be dropped.
[04:53] IsambardPrince It's inferior to 1992 JPEG in many ways and it's much more complex, leading to security issues.

[04:54] IsambardPrince HEIC is terribly difficult to convert to anything else because it stores image data that has no support in anything else, and getting photo prints online usually doesn't support uploading HEIC.
[04:54] IsambardPrince So it's a pain in the ass and iPhones default to it.
[04:54] IsambardPrince And JPEG-2000 never committed to a royalty-free patent license of the parts that were interesting granted by the known patent holders.
[04:55] IsambardPrince Just a baseline format and "We don't know if there's any submarine patents."
[04:55] IsambardPrince I got some camera software back then that had jp2 support.
[04:55] IsambardPrince But it was poorly supported on the PC in general.
