@ravikiran_dev7 if car tyres have no windows, how can you see out of the car to drive? In other words, browser sessions are implemented on top of HTTP.

Developers be honest. Which one was your first code editor?

@ravikiran_dev7 ed on a hybrid V6/V7 Unix on a PDP 11-23 :-) shortly followed by ex and then vi! (1981)

Did you know #XPath 3 (2016) is a Turing-complete functional and declarative language? As are #XSLT 3 (which uses XPath and #XQuery which extends it). And #XProc 3 is a data flow language that also uses XPath. Widely used, powerful, efficient. #XMLisUseful #markupMonday

Despite being out of work, i am not considering travel to or work in the USA at this time...

@EricGroulx4 @macdonald_80846 @s_tar_lin_g i think that James shill has been smoking chemtrails :-) judging by his profile. It makes me wonder how much money you can earn posting lies & conspiracy stuff, though.

okay so "DO NOT ELECT MARK CARNEY" is trending but if you click on the tag every single post is the EXACT same. in other words, every single one of these posters have so obviously been paid off or something, because. yeah, this is not normal lol

Donated a small prize (1,000 points) to a @DeviantArt contest in honour of Eid al-Fitr - for the best tile made using the GNU Image Manipulation Program - deviantart.com/alexanderpaupo… And yes, i’ll be doing an Easter one too :-) #GIMP #Gimp3

@TiroTypeworks @langofmind the other end of the stylus is an eraser. Oh, wait, no ;-)

@langofmind If you make a mistake, how easy is it to smooth out the clay and fix it?

In case you ever wondered how cuneiform was written, it's very satisfying. This is a recreation of the tablet of Nippur. Ea Nasir's complaint tablets would have been written the same way

@GIMP_Official #GIMP will be at #FOSDEM - gimp.org/news/2025/01/2…

@ChildFreeChick Not from me, i don’t sell hats or have a place to order them. Wrong number?

Canada is not for sale hats seem to be gaining popularity on both sides of the house. strongandfreehat.ca/products/canad… But what is the font? :-)

We now have a BluSky page gimpofficial.bsky.social to post news and updates, as well as continuing to post on Mastodon at @gimp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">floss.social/@gimp

@lukasco late reply - no, he gets billions in government contracts, and that's about to increase... the only purpose of the MAGAs is to elect him.

You have to believe a lot of the Musk Trump love is about getting the MAGAs to go Tesla. The Libs already own electrics so can be ignored. Am I wrong?

I am slowly updating fromoldbooks.org/books-for-sale… (adding one book at a time and also improving the page). Offers entertained; remember Canada Post is on strike & UPS stopped. Includes a Geneva Bible, a Golden Cockerel book, & more #rarebooks #finePress #goldenCockerel #genevaBible

Upcoming courses - CSS for XML/XSLT people (one day); XSLT 3; Schematron; Maintaining XSLT; Web Accessibility for XSLT People.

@breckyunits @danbri It's not about what order you draw the boxes. It's about whether you think of the network itself as important, or if it's just something to connect computers for file sharing. Sun Microsystems put the network first. They also went out of business, but that's not why.

@danbri Sun*

“Atkinson recalled engineers at Apple drawing network schematics in the form of a bunch of boxes linked together. Sun engineers, however, first drew the network’s backbone and then hung boxes off of it. It’s a critical difference, and he feels it hindered him.”

@robinberjon Eep, I’d say Good Luck but it’s too late for that, you are in Travel Hell. Roll a d20 to save against Flight Cancel Culture. While you’re there, sell them a Linux system. Might not work better but it’s wonderfully complicated.

@gsnedders You’re also talking about an operating system project that appears proud to have a "not invented her" policy for not reusing other people's code or libraries.

I'd like to share with you the "State of Text Rendering 2024", a survey of the Free & Open Source fonts & text rendering landscape advancements since 2009. behdad.org/text2024/ @harfbuzz @FontTools @googlefonts

@BrodieOnLinux Yes, let's replace JATS and TEI XML with JSON or CSV and go even more insane than Plan 9 :-)
