I’ve never used either so I looked them up; https://htmldecks.com/blog/slidev-vs-revealjs-2025.html says

Reveal.js is a JavaScript framework where you write HTML. It gives you maximum control, works without a build step (for simple decks), and has a decade of battle-testing. It’s the jQuery of presentation frameworks — not trendy, but reliable.

Slidev is a Vite-powered tool where you write Markdown. It gives you a modern developer experience with hot reload, Vue component support, and opinionated defaults that get you to a finished deck faster. It’s the Vite of presentation tools — fast, modern, delightful.

Anyone have any first-hand opinions?

I clicked, expecting to see a different xkcd. Then I searched for the one I expected and (re-?)discovered Time (#1190) which took a fair while to go through (since I started when your comment was fairly new).

in Little Miss Sunshine, Alan Arkin plays a grandad who practices and preaches that heroin is only for the old.

Polymarket taking over from the War Thunder forums as the top source of leaks?

There’s a special pleasure in fixing things.

My toaster has an intermittent problem with popping up too soon, but every time I’m about to take it apart it starts behaving again.

Its not all its cracked up to be; it attract’s pendant’s like you would’nt believe.

Great find, great write-up. Such a simple bug (and fix).

I wouldn’t be so sure - I can see someone accidentally stumbling over it doing something benign like TDD.

In a warming world, there’s more energy in the wind. Does that mean more useful wind, or does it just mean more extreme winds that can’t be used for generation?

The title here is just the one from the article. Lots of comms insist on that (too much faff to check if this one does since I’m on a phone).

He’s definitely not the landlord, but perhaps he’s in the 24th century version of Occupy Wall Street - Occupy Starfleet.

Ah yes, the click of death. Given that, this but in the article made me laugh:

There was also the PocketZip format, initially called Clik!

I guess Iomega quickly changed the name on that one.

They do give a clue as to a reason/excuse why not in the article:

Each [AI security] platform surfaces different vulnerabilities, making it difficult to establish a single, reliable source of truth for what is actually secure.

Also, they come up with so many false positives that it’s a huge job to check over the reports for something usable.

Isn’t picts-rs just something that runs on one server and just handles converting and resizing images? The new remote media storage stuff could run that, but the point is to allow more centralised servers so not every instance needs to individually store, process and transmit media.

Not just media, things like searching the Fediverse can be handled by a dedicated server, shared (or not) by multiple servers. Also spam detection, link preview generation, etc.

This one doesn’t read properly in any direction; I assume that these screens aren’t in sync and it’s the first screen’s fault.

Playing the harmonica.

Your mouth cavity forms part of the instrument (like the body of an acoustic guitar) so you need to precisely control your lips, tongue, jaw, etc on top of the usual embouchure skills that you need for a wind instrument, while also being sure to only use the hole/holes you want. You get different notes when you blow and draw (suck), so you must control your breath so the note doesn’t squeak - unless you’re doing that on purpose, which lets you play notes outside the key of that particular harmonica. You also need to balance your in and out breaths so you don’t get too full or empty of air (a few notes have both in and out options to help with this).

I’m very bad at the harmonica.

Zaatar is both the name of a herb (Hyssopus officinalis) and a spice mix, containing the herb along with sumac, salt, etc. Mostly references to zaatar are about the mix as that’s what normal people actually use.

The herb is quite strong, is like a slightly bitter mint, and is also used in Chartreuse and absinthe.

We will implement a new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) that will allow sharing storage and media processing between servers.

This is pretty big too, as the cost and legal risks of hosting this user content is high. They’ve clearly thought about the media moderation problems too:

We will build a reference implementation of a Automated Content Detection service, again as a new Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider with an open protocol.

This will allow server owners to opt-in to use external tools to scan content for spam, illegal materials, etc in order to help them fight bad actors; they could self-host these tools if they choose to do so, or share the infrastructure with other servers for better efficiency.

Another problem is that system requires agreeing on what a week is, and there’s disagreement over whether Sunday starts or ends the week.
