One solar tantrum and suddenly GPS lies, satellites die, card machines sulk, the lights go out, and Britain rediscovers cash, radio, and talking to neighbours.

The Sun remains unimpressed.

★ ÊTRE ANARCHISTE
socialisme-libertaire.fr/2025/…

"« Être anarchiste, c’est avant tout être bon ; c’est penser, c’est rêver, c’est discuter sans sectarisme. C’est haïr tout ce qui fait souffrir, pleurer, mourir. C’est concevoir et expliquer les choses clairement, simplement, sans peur des conséquences,..."

@angry_drunk I have a very vague, foggy, hazy memory (I accidentally slept between thinking I saw it and now$ of seeing a post that I attribute as being from you (possibly as far back as on the bird site); about the Mac Photos app refusing to put its library on an external drive (network or USB), and mandating that it be on the machine’s internal storage.

Does this ring any bells with you?

in reply to Monte Freeman

Yeah, I was having that problem, but apparently at some point I sorted it out because mine is living on an external ssd now. For the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
in reply to Darby Lines

Oh. Well. Then in theory it is at least *possible*.
That makes me feel better about maybe buying a machine with less internal storage and not paying the Apple SSD tax.

Thanks, Darby! 😊




Yeentown / Sharkey Tip! You can sort posts by people you follow to easily scroll through each individual person and see what theyve been up to! Useful for people who dont talk too much (or if you follow someone who does talks too much)


pngcheck 4.0.1 released

pngcheck is a command-line validation checker for Portable Network Graphics (PNG) raster image files.

PNG Third Edition brought us HDR support via three new chunks: cICP (Coding Independent Code Points), mDCV (Mastering Display Color Volume), and cLLI (Content Light Level Information).

github.com/pnggroup/pngcheck

in reply to Chris Lilley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

pngcheck 4.0.1 understands all of these. It will tell you if your HDR PNG is using BT.2100 PQ or P3D65, it will validate your APNG frame control chunks, and it will flag that shiny new caBX chunk when it spots one.
in reply to Chris Lilley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Oh, and it also knows about iDOT, Apple's parallel-decoding chunk — created by Apple in 2011, used by them consistently with Xcode, and only just now registered in the PNG Extensions document. Better late than never!



Our collective shock and grief over the violent death of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, turned to cold fury for many as Trump weighed in on the tragedy in the most vile way. But unlike before, his base and his party weren’t willing to go along. My write-up on Trump going to 11 is in the replies.

Mogen ze meneertje Poetin wel stoppen; zijn oorlogsmachine maakt lawaai, stoot CO2 uit en warmt heel Siberië op.
En dan moeten we alle andere oorlogshitsers ook stoppen.

Ooof. I just discovered that one of my followers is following someone on mastodon dot social who calls the Jewish victims of the terror attack worse than the KKK, and says other horrible things about Jews. Blocked. No loss to me since I don’t remember ever interacting with them.

Just for people’s information, here is the account that one of my followers was following. Babka blocks this account and you should too.
