@GustavinoBevilacqua Well for one, I can't click the Quality option, or smoothing option because it'll mouse-pick the label underneath XD

Wow, the new GIMP update is broken af.

Woken up three times last night by otters doing parkour on Pino.

I folded lots of paper this week.

It started off innocently enough, I was reminded of that paper about how flat origami is Turing-complete, and of how I never attempted to fold one of these for myself. I've already written about a paper computer and all the ways in which computer emulators can be operated on paper, but nothing on using the paper itself for doing the computation. So I set out to correct that, and all the while learning how to do hexagonal folds for the first time.

Another thing on my plate has been to gradually getting rid of Uxnasm.c in favor of the self-hosted one. Before I entirely drop that dependency, I want to be absolutely certain that the bootstrapping process is as robust as I could possibly make it. I'm not 100% happy yet, but Uxnasm.c is getting closer to retirement.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced it will begin screening immigrants' social media for evidence of antisemitic activity as grounds for denying immigration benefit requests. The screenings will affect people applying for permanent residence status as well as foreigners affiliated with educational institutions.
