#JPEGXL / #JXL, the most requested and upvoted focus area proposal for #web #Interop, has again been rejected as a discussion topic for 2024's web platform Interop industry event, because "We did not have consensus to include this proposal."
Given the industry's broad support, lack of "consensus" sounds an awful lot like "the Google Chrome team lead who authored the AVIF format arranged for it to be vetoed."

pet and i have an inside joke where we will describe each other as "walking on all those legs"
it exists because i searched for all permutations of "all ___ legs" on google ngrams and found that "all those legs" was one of the results: books.google.com/ngrams/graph?…
and then we were just thinking about how funny it would be if you were reading a novel and the line "she walked in on all those legs" appeared

Just tuned in again to @radiofreefedi and immediately loving the last two songs:
"Codex Nimbus" by @jefftheworld
jefftheworld.com/astrayus-prel…
and
"Beauty in everything is no bad thing" by @tiredhorizon
thetiredhorizon.bandcamp.com/t…
Beauty in everything is no bad thing, by The Tired Horizon
from the album Fantasy FlowerThe Tired Horizon
The full album downloads (in mp3 or flac format) also come with the original XM modules, so you can see how the songs were written, modify them, pull out the samples, etc.
It's like the source code for the tracks, and you can check it out using a modern Fasttracker 2 compatible program like ft2-clone.

Don't prefill config files

(new blog post!)
Don’t prefill config files
The biggest design mistake I made with Amfora, my first community open source project, was autogenerating config files. On startup, the application looks for a config file, and creates one if it doesn’t exist, full of all the application defaults.www.makeworld.space
I disagree that you can't change defaults, that's a design problem with the config options. If there is concern over something changing then the config should provide the option to preselect the internel default.
Following this example you'd allow the config to set search_engine = default

ok, let’s give this robot one more try at getting it to work well and be useful.
tl;dr it was originally deployed at a volkswagen factory and came with a customized, volkswagen-specific control cabinet (on the right, the one with “broken robot” poster) which is absolute hell to get to work right standalone, without an external plc controlling it over interbus. hardware is different enough that it can’t be easily converted, software that works with this hardware is heavily stripped down and lacks critical features.
so I finally managed to track down a stock version of the control cabinet. it’s incomplete, but I can do some part swaps to get it to work and it was cheap.
