# url = field in your feed. I'm not sure if you had already, but the first url field is kind of important in your feed as it is used as the "Hashing URI" for threading.
My client supports that, if you set multiple
url = fields in your feed’s metadata (the top-most one must be the “main” URL, that one is used for hashing).But yeah, multi-protocol feeds can be problematic and some have considered it a mistake to support them. 🤔

The printer isn’t that loud – at least not for a dot matrix printer. 😅 It’s been ~30 years since I’ve last seen them in person, but I remembered these things to be louder. I’m typing on my Model M, maybe that contributes to the perceived noise on this video. Here’s an isolated recording of that keyboard: https://movq.de/v/ddc98b03d8/2022-02-21--model-m-goes-brrr.ogg 🤣 It really sounds like that when you’re typing fast. Brrrrt.~

The biiiiiiiiiig problem is that the print head and plastic cover make it impossible to see what’s currently being printed, because this is not a *typewriter*. This means: In order to see what I just entered, I have to feed the paper back and forth and back and forth … it’s not ideal.
I got that idea of moving back/forth from Drew DeVault, who – as it turned out – did something similar a few years back. (I tried hard to read as little as possible of his blog post, because figuring things out myself is more fun. But that could mean I missed a great idea here or there.)
But hey, at least this is running on my Pentium 133 on SuSE Linux 6.4, printer connected with a parallel cable. 😍
(Also, yes, you can see the printouts of earlier tests and, yes, I used
ed(1) wrong at one point. 🤪 And ls insisted on using colors …)

As a creator of digital vector-based art I find the color management stuff (trying to figure how to generate things to print "in CMYK") mind boggling. I slowly try to read and acquire the concepts and vocabulary to understand more about this. I'm grateful for your work in this area. Thank you!

Fui hoje surpreendido quando fui ao Tribunal para ler o registo das candidaturas para as próximas #autárquicas (se me cingisse à imprensa local ainda ficava convencido que só seriam candidatos PS e a coligação PSD/CDS) e descobri que afinal, por aqui, as freguesias continuam todas fundidas.
Para ajudar outros que possam estar assumir mais do que devem como eu, fica aqui a Lei que tem a lista das freguesias que se voltaram a dividir (o resto fica tudo igual):

> This requirement applies to “certified Android devices” that have Play Protect and are preloaded with Google apps. The Play Store implemented similar requirements in 2023, but Google is now mandating this for all install methods, including third-party app stores and sideloading where you download an APK file from a third-party source.

Since nobody is going to push back on this (I don’t even know if that would be possible), this is going to be a reality on every platform sooner or later.
I’d guess in 20, 30 years, there won’t be “PCs” anymore. No more home computing, no more “I just write my own software”. You won’t own devices anymore, it’ll all be rented and the landlord will tell you what you can do with it.
I hope that I’m wrong, but given where we are today, I don’t think that I will be.
It's not hard to generate a static HTML page that loads your game to run on the browser with #pyodide (WASM). And it comes with an assets editor and a #chiptune making tool.

It's not like I'm expecting any loss: I rarely sell music, and when I do it is rarely to the states (I don't know why, I think my stuff ought to be way more popular! 😁). But still, it is disheartening to see there is now an effective wall, a country where I won't be able to (directly) reach. Congratulations to everyone involved.
[PS: if you're puzzled about what is this all about - a number of European countries, including Portugal, won't be shipping stuff to the US due to legal uncertainty regarding Trump's tariffs.]
.envelope object/propriety in #shapely yesterday, before that I used .bounds (a min/max of points tuple), but envelope is good to know because it provides an easy way of getting the centroid and the area of the bounding box, which can be very useful.
