That Jimmy Kimmel, causing trouble whereever he goes

#MAGA

I step in front of my door (red arrow) and there is a crowd with bouncers, paparazzi, traffic minders, and other assorted riffraff. Where is ICE when you need them?

When it comes to millions of humans murdered, Trump is right in the middle between Stalin and Mao! #MAGA

As with other #Rust #terminal crates, you write zero-sized structs to execute #prettytty commands. But it goes further: To perform a query, the same struct also knows how to parse a response from an ANSI escape sequence. And the runtime knows how to recognize those. 💥 80+ builtin commands! 🎉 (3/3)

Prettypretty's #Rust version optionally uses the new #prettytty crate for interacting with the #terminal. Prettytty distinguishes itself from other terminal crates by being cross-platform while also lightweight, with no dependency other than libc/windows-sys. (2/3)

Look at the normalized chart: Half of traffic continues to be mostly useless because either known bot or "security" scans. On top of that, the growing fraction of page views vs other resources (styles, images,...) suggests that most of those page views are useless too. Anyone else seeing this trend?

My personal website apparebit.com doesn't have intrusive analytics. But I do collect and (occasionally) analyze the server logs. At first glance, it looks like traffic was growing substantially (and slowing down again) over the last year. Alas, much of that traffic is suspect... 1/2

Have a Gay 2025!

Configuring prettypretty, my #Rust & #Python library for better terminal styles, requires querying a #terminal for its color theme. But existing Rust crates seemed too much & too little. So I wrote a new, lightweight terminal library for Unix & Windows. v0.1.0 is out now!

I conduct a study that, amongst its findings, shows that the Covid-19 pandemic did NOT cause a substantial increase in child sexual exploitation, thereby disproving claims in peer-reviewed papers and Europol/Interpol reports. Whose paper gets the big red content warning? 😜

I sign up for SkyNet (Apple Intelligence) and #Apple replaces #Siri with #Kitt from Knight Rider after having watched too many episodes of Miami Vice. 😳
