Trailer for a live-action Dora the Explorer film Just... what. Why is this a thing? Why does it seem surprisingly violent? And why does it look genuinely entertaining? --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Posted by CaptainJistuce It's so odd....they've taken something for the preschool market and updated it for the pre-teen market. It does look entertaining, but I'm also equally baffled. If there's no Swiper, I'm going to incite a riot. |

According to the disturbingly-detailed Dora wiki that I had to visit to find out what the fuck a Swiper is, they updated her for the pre-teen set a few years back, in a short-lived cartoon series where she moved to the city and had adventures with her new city-friends. But not violent adventures involving kidnappings, and no one making fun of Dora for being different. Wholesome friendly cuddly adventures, just age 12 instead of 8. I know more about Dora canon than I want to after this evening. I'm just sayin'. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Micro-Soft just cancelled April Fools: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/19/03/27/1625241/microsoft-memo-bans-april-fools-day-pranks Once again, I'm unsure of which side to take on this: - April Fools is (mainly) a USA-only thing. In Latam we don't even celebrate our "innocents' day" (which is in December 28, as you already know) the way USAians do. Lately I've been finding most so-called April Fools jokes very tasteless, unfunny, irrelevant to anyone not living in USA, and generally annoying, so getting the whole day shitcanned is not a bad idea (I actually refrain from using the Internet that day: no Slashdot, no Google, no nada), if only to keep our sanity intact. - But on the other side, getting MS turned into yet another NO FUN ALLOWED zone means the PC/SJW/thought police crowd wins: "someone could get offended!" is the codeword for CENSORSHIP. And you guys already know my strong stance against that shit. Seriously, software development is already a boring snorefest full of broken tools and moronic trends (hi Javascript!), and I miss the days where every decent piece of software came with a funny easter egg embedded (I never got to play Excel 95 Doom, sadly). The last thing we need is THIS. Sooooo.... I regret from having read the news today :/ (But I'll still stay the hell away from the Internet this next April 1st) Licensed Pirate® since 2006, 100% Buttcoin™-free, enemy of All Things JavaScript™ |

Posted by tommanI'd like to point out that the internet gives you a disproportionate representation of April Fools Day. Most people don't invest anything into it at all. Spending it offline is a great policy. ... I do miss irem's 4/1 pages, though. Even if they did require liberal use of Babelfish. Posted by creaothceann I don't know if the page styling is worse, or the fact that they're almost an entire day early. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Most countries in the world, at least those with substantial technology industries, celebrate April Fools. Not only USA, most of Europe and of course the Anglosphere as well. Even the article image for it on Wikipedia is from Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. I think it can be quite funny if done tastefully - the one about YouTube shutting down I remember, and the stackoverflow one is cool (if a bit early). I think it's a good reminder to not take everything you see on the Internet seriously. Unfortunately some newspapers completely miss the point and refuse to print April Fools' stories because of "the danger of fake news." Bah! Are they opposed to vaccines too? EDIT: What, they don't style the front page, only the question pages? And no funny styling of code tags? What's the world coming to? There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this. |

Apparently "text rotation" causes Firefox to ignore my KDE-wide hinting option (Freetype autohinter) and use "no hinting" instead. |

I thought the hinting was only defined for straight text, and possibly right angles (although dubious with the freetype and whatnot) - it wouldn't make much sense to hand-draw all the edge cases. EDIT: On closer inspection, it looks like my Firefox attempts to alias it instead, which looks even worse but at least it isn't blurry.
