Why is Gimp so fucking incomprehensible?

@ppk It's awful, I thought. I eventually bit the bullet and paid for Pixelmator, which does all my photo wiggling tasks and can open PSDs

More proof that Maths is bullshit: factorial of n is " the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n", yet factorial of zero = 1?!? Piss off, Pythagoras

brucelawson,
@brucelawson@vivaldi.net avatar

@juandesant then that should be called the "fuckinObvioustorial", but that's not the sum of all positive integers less than zero. This is like Big Maths defining "penguins" as "flightless birds in Antarctica. Oh, and bananas. Yup, they're penguins, too". I blame Euclid.

and the square root of -1 and the Banach–Tarski paradox can fuck right off, too.

@mensrea just angry at how Bill Soros and Big Maths have fooled us all this time.

I can't remember the last time I read a novel in one sitting, but Prophet Song by Paul Lynch was impossible to put down. If any book should be made required reading in our current times, it's this one.

@tammy pre-ordered the paperback, just in time for a forthcoming holiday. Thanks for the recommendation, Tammy!

@tammy last time I read a book in one sitting was The White Hotel by DM Thomas. Probably even more depressing than the one you've just recommended to me!

I was asked by my boss to evaluate a couple of hosted content editors. One never answered my Qs about their accessibility. @cloudcannon asked me to speak to their team and explain some of the gaps, and they've really run with it. So this blog post about their efforts to up their accessibility really cheered my wizened shrivelled remnants of a heart. https://cloudcannon.com/blog/how-we-build-cloudcannon-for-accessibility/

Why do I get a focus ring that goes around the whole image link in Chromium, but not Firefox (or Safari)? https://6620031a03f27d78e51e05ae--phenomenal-nougat-6eac86.netlify.app/

The same image-link has a focus ring about one "line" tall overlaying the bottom of the image, but not the whole image

I'm going to venture a potentially unpopular opinion and suggest that Elrond Muff might not be the genius businessman some people believe him to be. He's definitely no Donald Trump, at any rate.

I've been enjoying the Fallout TV series. I know nothing about the game or whatever it's based on (I don't play games) but I don't feel like I'm missing out. (Perhaps I am, but it doesn't feel frustrating.)

@sarajw it's mad, isn't it? I had to draw circles over it in an editor to verify it is just 2 circles.

Does anybody still have a personal "blank page" when they open a new browser tab?

With shortcuts to your favorite links, little widgets with live data you're interested in?

That was a thing on the old web. I'm going to start one for myself again.

@sarajw Hmm. I think relative URLs are ligit in RSS, but not sure. (TBH I just use WordPress default RSS, but I do use relative links all the time for perf reasons. If I can work out how to tweak it, I will.) @pixelambacht
