Someone wrote to tell me about how they use an open source library I've published, and now I'm like "yeah that's a pretty clear license violation". Hate writing that back, but also, I gave it that license (AGPL) to prevent exactly this...

User feature request: "we need drag-n-drop to rearrange items in this list" What it really meant: "we need a scrollbar in the list since some items fall outside then view" - and I had accidentally removed scrolling.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@phillmv/116374893262685669 Finally a thread that isn't just "ARGH! AI SO STUPID!" (I wish it were, it would have been so much simpler.)

Well can't spell the empty string any other way 🤷

Weirdest autocorrect.

I'm watching people in my feed screaming at each other over Firefox's "AI kill switch" this morning with some trepidation. As far as I'm concerned, Firefox already has an AI kill switch. It's called `browser.ml.chat.enabled`, I set it to `false` more or less the day it appeared, it hasn't […]

I have questions for people who design these kinds of things.

Since everyone enjoyed the confusion of "apt-get update" vs "apt-get upgrade", they also added "apt-get autoclean" and "apt-get autoremove".

#30DayMapChallenge Day 29: Raster #LiDAR DSMs often leave nodata voids at water bodies, breaking shadow modeling. For Rotterdam, I used the 0.5 m AHN4 DSM and filled gaps with my #QGIS script from the Resources Hub 👉 hub.qgis.org/scripts/4 (install via QGIS Hub plugin). 🎦 youtu.be/79yFgVLvuZM

Another go at it from a couple of years back. A little too much "just slap hill shade on it" but I still like it.

In my ever ongoing project to create a nice-looking map of the two hills near where I live, this is where we're at today. Needs more work, but I think it's kind of cute, especially given the very limited pre/post processing. (Inspiration from this lovely map: […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I'm in a #github internal group for high-profile FOSS projects (due to @leaflet having a few kilo-stars), and the second most-wanted feature is "plz allow us to disable copilot reviews", with the most-wanted feature being "plz allow us to block issues/PRs […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Har mig veterligen bara blivit blockad av två personer genom tiderna: Alex Schulman och nu tydligen även Lars Wilderäng.

VS Code stumbling over itself every time it's updated is a regular annoyance for me. Ok, so you have to restart but could you *maybe* tell me in a more reasonable way? Makes me think of this old time favorite […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that Reflect Orbital's fucking stupid giant mirror satellite, with absolutely NOTHING useful to offer, which will cause countless safety issues, ecological disasters, and destroy the night sky, is going to launch. A bunch of astronomers and I have sent out […]

Good news everyone, my Raspberry Pi didn't end up in a drawer (yet).

while researching the rubygems takeover situation, I ended up on the blog of someone who insists on using AI header images, and now instead of engaging with the actual post I’m stuck on “why is there a puppy on the table? WHY do the evil corporate overlords holding a sinister meeting have a […]

I keep finding vapes chucked on the ground as I cycle around. I pick them up because they're toxic if left to degrade. I suppose this is one recycling option to consider: https://bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/projects/vapeserver/

Strava, struggling hard to show as misleading graphs as possible. This 4:36 min/km run was much, much slower than the last 4:36 min/km run (the trend is somewhere in between, about 4:36 min/km). #running

If you can read Swedish, this mail has all the telltale signs of a phishing email, but no, it's a legit email regarding a package I actually ordered. (Related: yes, finally getting some Raspberry Pi equipment that can collect dust in a drawer.)

I wonder which language this app was written in 🤔

Remember: the most important step in debugging a piece of code is to make sure it’s even being run before you start changing it 🫠

"If all these big companies are shouting from the rooftops that AI is up to production code the money relies on, then zero open source contributions of substance is a glaring absence." (Original title: If AI is so good at coding … where are the open source contributions?) […]

Yesterday was the first time I arranged an #orienteering training without using Purple Pen or OCAD, instead all courses set in the browser using my own O-Scout software. Still far from feature complete, but actually sort of useful now. https://o-scout.vercel.app/

Every single time I try to look up the docs for dumping some geometries to a Shapefile... #gis

Today's technical woes. If you're into GIS you might even guess what I'm battling.

Having a good time today.

Gosh, my Firefox update is really overdue. (Somewhere around 120 000 years late, it appears.) In other news: Ubuntu's snap update thing continues to disappoint.

Yet another attempt to use ChatGPT. Every time I end up fighting it over stupid things it more or less makes up. Really curious what the people claiming to be productive do with it. (What really happened was that I tripped on Python's GIL, which took me a bit too long to figure out.)

Ok Garmin, that's just not something you say to someone after 24 k of wet, muddy trail running. #running

I have questions about how this deck was shuffled.

[Dead rodent] My cat, very confused why I won't let him in so we can share his tasty snack.

I loled. (Then I sobbed a little, since I'm exclusively on Linux and sometimes have to print even if I don't like it.) https://www.evilsocket.net/2024/09/26/Attacking-UNIX-systems-via-CUPS-Part-I/

Oh, it's all well and good, but it *would* be nice to know which of the project's ~600 files this error is in...

I don't usually post about my #running here, but since the distance is pretty far outside my comfort zone, I'll make an exception. Felt good for like 3/4 of the distance, then not so much and last kilometres mostly "why can't I move my legs?" Happy to have […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Shout out to the very distressed sea gull at control 12 in the world championships in orienteering, you're a major part of the tv broadcast!

Worth grepping your source code for "polyfill.io" and taking urgent measures to remove that code if you're linking it into your site - the domain name apparently now intermittently serves malicious JavaScript My notes here: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Jun/25/polyfill-supply-chain-attack/ - […]

Ok, so lat/lng vs lng/lat coordinate order is old and boring, but what about bounding box ordering? (min_x, max_x, min_y, max_y) vs (min_x, min_y, max_x, max_y). (Looking at you, OGR and pyproj.)

Has CodingJoel or JeffHorror made any comments on the Stackoverflow shitfest? Seems pretty far from their original mission.
