@PeterSommerlad @cstross @rudi

It depends a lot on what the flow looks like. If you're starting with simple markup, it's easy. If you're starting with something where you've done some things to make sure that the LaTeX output has the correct layout, then it's likely to be harder.

@david_chisnall @cstross @rudi
custom filters can help with that to separate special layout demands for different targets. normally i'd refrain to put too much Latex into the markdown, even though it's possible.

My latest books cartoon for Guardian Books #bookcops

Title:
#BOOKCOPS

Panel One:
A uniformed officer approaches a man sittiong at at a bar, he is reading and has a glass of red wine:
"Sir, I have reason to believe that you are engaged in "Performative reading" in a public space."

Panel Two:
"There's been a mistake, officer! I'm perusing the menu. I'm very indecisive!" says the man anxiously

The officer says: "Perhaps I can assist, sir. I'm something of a "Foodie" myself."

Panel Three:
"No need. I've decided!" says the man looking terrified

"Let me see that!" says ther officer as he grabs the menu. "As I suspected: 'Infinite Jest' Concealed inside a fake menu!"

Panel Four:
"It's a first offence, so I'm only going to shame you on social media." says the officer "Next time I'll throw the book at you!"

The man sobs.

@tomgauld.bsky.social Way too kind for the cops. An actual cop would have grabbed him by his hair, sprayed him and have him sent in jail under the new new terrorist act.

Don't listen to him. Be like the late Rep. John Lewis. Get into good trouble.

Roger Williams saying: “People need to quit demonstrating, quit yelling at law enforcement, challenging law enforcement, and begin to get civil.” Below the text is a split-screen news video still: on the left, Roger Williams in a suit and pink tie speaking on camera; on the right, a person standing near a large black vehicle.

@penel0pe you make good points as well. You say it can’t really be a war unless there is opposition, which there isn’t any, and that gives me pause.

On the other hand, these seemingly disparate events seem to me as though they could possibly be a leading up to a much larger attack on China by the US. I hope I am wrong.

@ramin_hal9001 I think it's the kidnapping of Maduro because it demarcates the end of the US pretending to care about sovereignty, retroactively legalizing Putin's invasion of Ukraine and giving China carte blanche in Taiwan. At least the US tried to pretend the Iraq invasion about WMDs. Trump has straight up admitted Venezuela is all about oil.

Well, here's a new accursed UI pattern. When you try to book a flight on Chase rewards and key in the exact code for the airport you want to go to, it suggests a bunch of non-matching airports, and puts the exact match like 10 options down.

A drop-down menu from the Chase website. I have keyed in "LHR" and the menu has dropped down a menu with the options "LXA," "LHW" and "LHE."

Good to hear @Podnews's predications for #2026.

https://pod.link/podnewsweeklyreview/episode/QnV6enNwcm91dC0xODQ3ODIyMA

Even better to hear #adptivepodcasting being mentioned (38:00 - SMIL podcasting) by @samsethi & @james

Maybe too advanced for its time in 2023, but certainly something which could be the future path of podcasts with the right imagination and technology stack.

The codebase is still open and public here - https://github.com/bbc/adaptivepodcasting

Considering what's possible with #adaptivemusic currently instead of podcasts. #djhackday

@pluralistic I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the search has been optimised to look for the name rather than the code. So it might not be enshitification but in fact really poor UX and not testing things before you release them.

To become a Licensed Stylist in Illinois you must complete 1,500 hours of training in cutting, coloring, sanitation, and salon management, then pass State Licensing written and practical exams for your state's board of health/cosmetology—a process that takes up to two years.

To become an ICE fascist licensed to kidnap & kill innocent people you can drop out of high school, turn 18, and take a 47 day training.

This is what “meritocracy” looks like to fascists. 😐

@pfefferle@mastodon.social @mczachurski @activitypub.blog I was already following the @activitypub.blog one, but the @pfefferle@notiz.blog not. Instantly it says I'm following; then returns to pending request. Seems like something on federation doesn't work. Check logs, and maybe server's date. I bumped with my head against the wall multiple times before detecting that my vps server's date was one hour earlier than current real date.

A rock in a rover on #Mars could prove the existence of life on other planets. #Trump wants to abandon it.

On Mars, in the belly of a rover named #Perseverance, a titanium tube holds a stone more precious than any diamond or ruby on Earth. The robot spotted it in 2024 along the banks of a Martian riverbed & zapped it with an ultraviolet laser.
