I hate to be the bearer of bad news but imagemagick got some pretty bad CVEs recently, including one where a maliciously crafted .bmp could do arbitrary code execution whenever imagemagick tried to decode it. funnily enough, if you use git blame on the code that was responsible for the vulnerability, it was from a "claude assisted" commit (imagemagick has recently implemented an ai-tolerant policy)

the only comparable tool I could find besiedes graphicsmagick was this:
https://github.com/libvips/libvips

once again I'm reminded that the only effective security model is simplicity and minimizing attack surfaces. I only use this machine for recreational programming, consuming media (books and music) and browsing some sites, so I'm seriously considering ditching gentoo for a non-posix microkernel, maybe writing my own x11 server for it, maybe a smaller, custom protocol

speaking of, does anyone have resources on how to write a gui library from drawing primitives? like algorithms on how to distribute space between widgets and such. all gui toolkits from qt to imgui implement this stuff but the code is usually too idiomatic and specific to the program for me to extract any abstract insight

I'm trying to find the source (journalists absolutely suck for not linking where they get their statistics from), but if you search the topic, you get a fuckton of news articles from over the years pondering why Eurofags drive way more manual transmission cars than Americans. It's a crazy difference if they all aren't lying, as supposedly Eurofags went from 80% manual transmissions in the early 2000s to "just" ~30% a couple years ago, whereas an abysmal 0.7% of burger vehicles on the road are manuals.

>>19280
>Americans own more cars and drive more than Europeans
True, bigger population, a lot of roads, big brands and factories.

>>19276
>The average car is made under the assumption the average driver is functionally retarded
Proving the point that most drivers in the world are Americans, the target consumer.

That can't be true. The average car has heating and air conditioning, which the average yuropoor has not yet figured out the mystery of despite decades of dying from lack of both.

A couple things to note about that. In comparison to the US, in the EU both road and rail are wholly overshadowed for share of cargo ton-miles by the inherent geography of deep seacoast penetration and crisscrossing inland waterways that the more  US lacks:
https://theicct.org/toward-a-greener-global-freight-transportation-system-oct25/
Also, while pickups/SUVs are less popular in Europe than the US, they are also less necessary. Cars (sedans, coupés, hatchbacks, stationwagons, etc.) overwhelmingly favoring manual trannies in the European market are rated comparably to a light truck or better in terms of towing capacity, whereas in the US this feature went extinct (due to regional differences of both mechanical and regulatory nature) in the 1980s, just in time for the burgerlard pickup/SUV conspiracy:

Asked a chatbot about this out of bemused curiosity and:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_air_conditioning
>The innovation was adopted quickly and by 1960 about 20% of all cars in the U.S. had air-conditioning, with the percentage increasing to 80% in the warm areas of the Southwest.
>By 1969, 54% of domestic automobiles were equipped with air conditioning
https://carinterior.alibaba.com/question/when-ac-became-standard-in-cars
>By the late 1980s, over 70% of new cars sold in the United States included factory-installed air conditioning

>code syntax highlighting
Eh. You don't need that to read non-code text unless you have severe forms of ADHD (which, ironically, are so severe and crippling that normalfags usually don't recognise these cases as ADHD), and especially not when you're reading text on a physical page.
>links
Hyperlinks actively harm reading comprehension by triggering brief focus breaks every time your brain quickly evaluates whether to follow the link or not.
>figures
You have a pencil. Draw your statistical charts yourself.
>HTML/PDF export
That's your main actual disadvantage.
>multitasking
Objectively less productive than focused work thanks to the overhead of mental context switching. It's another thing if you're interleaving bouts of focused work with short breaks and focused work on other things, as this'll help you work on problems in the back of your mind and assist with knowledge transfer, but if you're quickly jumping from one thing to another on your computer, the lost focus will ultimately mean you waste more time and depth of insight than you gain.

Physical is the best to remember and learn, but takes a lot of space to storage with time.

Markdown is the best for visualization, can edit anywhere and it's just a text file.
I really like Obsidian and similar apps, mostly because they are just text but you can sync, add images, etc.
The one I liked most is Anytype. Just wish it was a bit more generous with free storage, 100MB is like e-mail in the 00s.

If you really really want something fancy and fully custom just use html, it's what everyone uses and will be using for decades.
Works for mobile too. If you want it you can add fonts, Javascript, CSS and whatever you need, even server connection and APIs.
Cons - have to program and host your schizophrenic dreams on it, wasting time.

Due to sms being needed to sign up for entering sites I kinda agree with you. *entering insanity mode* It's so silly the powers that be think they're keeping people safe doing silly stuff like this. At the end of the day some serial killer is going to whipe his shoes off on some guy he had a gun on using his computer and all his information instead after it's literally impossible to be anonymous and just go to another guy's house in someone else's car. They can't stop that sort of activity but pretend some all seeing eye can when it can't actually see anything, just record and get there too late. Eventually some day in the futue the brown pill poster will be posting over some dead grandma/grandpa on his/her computer while giggling and bicycle away leaving their corpses to rot.

I'm not sure who you're trying to impress, but how you write is the splitting image of this obnoxious tranny I sometimes stumble across while searching niche languages on nitter to find examples of people using them. He inserts himself into any conversation on niche languages he can find, and thinks he's a super edgy contrarian for liking systemd. If anyone disagrees with him, he "ironically" threatens to molest and force feminize him. He's such an obvious sexual predator that it's telling language designers semi-tolerate him at all.

>search engines got so bad
Even before Google was censored, even prior to that before SEO partly overwhelmed Google, no search engine was ever anywhere near as good as AI at sifting through the innertubes.

That said, the conflation of "AI" with "panopticon mainframe" is infuriating, hopefully hardware will become powerful enough soon that even the swarms of mobilesheeple will switch to local models.
