Microsoft is force-replacing the Windows Mail app with an app called "Outlook for Windows," as if confusion with Office Outlook/Outlook 365, Outlook Web Access, & the Outlook that replaced Hotmail wasn't enough.

Adding even more confusion, it's referenced in-app only as "The New Outlook," & the icon is a generic mail envelope with the word "New" as a badge.

But worst of all, it doesn't fucking work with *existing* POP3/IMAP4 accounts! "Your access is gone now, good luck!"

@hikari …and so this isn't a problem with *base* qt, because all base qt constructors are declared with explicit

but the first thing you do when you start writing qt is you subclass existing qt classes and create your own MyQtClass(QObject *) {} constructors

so if you don't know about the `explicit` convention and why the qt base libraries do it, you have just placed a landmine under your chair

[if you use a different type of parentheses] temporaries bound to references do not have their lifetimes extended

Everyone always talks about Alt girls, but where are my Ctrl girls, ⌘Command girls, and Fn girls?

Numeronyms are fun, but they have one major problem: namespace collision.

What is a11y? Is it accessibility? Associatively? Axiomatically? Autobiography?

This is obviously a problem that needs solving.

My solution? SHAsum hashing. We can avoid the ambiguity of "a11y" with this unique, cryptographically sound alternative:

Accessibility? a884a5f3609f2cca635fed56d4ec5795da56fb970y

Axiomatically? a20c4bcee8f977a3f5a3b6b499d52d7dd32584771y

SImple, easy to visually distinguish, everyone wins.

@thomasfuchs That "I always check" has the same energy as "It's open source so I can audit the code"

watch the shoujo Super "Sonic Saves The World" World speedrun

it's 1 trans woman playing a really cool kaizo mario hack while 3 other trans woman (including the creator of the romhack, Maddy, who you might know from fucking Celeste) heckle her and make the stupidest jokes imaginable

it's absolute perfection

him being too old to do the job doesn't really matter to me as much as the fact that he's been doing the job badly the entire time he's had it. he didn't stop building the border wall, he funded it more. he's escalated the trade war with china. he's allowed the cdc to become all but a nyt-run homeopathy advert vis-a-vis covid policy rollbacks. 25+ million people were kicked off medicaid under his watch. the white house expressed concern about gender affirming surgery for minors *last week*

on the one hand i think biden's age is clearly showing and that's not a trivial thing when it comes to running the most trigger-happy nation on earth. on the other hand i think it's fucked up that *this* is what disqualifies him from the office of the president in the commentariat's eyes, and not the fact that his administration has largely been trump 2 (sometimes worse) with like three exceptions. sorry lads but a good nlrb, ftc, & climate legislation isn't a free pass for genocide

I have been sending out this resource all year, but I'll send it out again. From the US Department of Energy:

Creating a Cool Room for Extreme Heat Events

"Given the reality of global climate change and the increasing likelihood of extreme heat events, designing and retrofitting homes for resistance to extreme heat and power outages should be considered in all climates. Extending the "hours of safety" that a home can provide when air-conditioning is not available can be life-saving...."

Just did a call out in an old persons block of flats and everyone on this floor plays a game where they hide a little wooden mouse in the corridor and every time someone finds it they move it somewhere else. Very cute 🐀

mistake: letting @puckipedia and us near a thermal printer

contributing to open-source is fun

i feel like this guy
