TIL you can make "GIFs" with SVGs for GitHub README.md files

The moving image below is only 49Kb and has an incredibly high resolution. It's similar to a GIF but instead of showing moving images, it shows moving SVGs! The best part: Github supports these in their README.md files! Getting these to work involves asciinema and svg-term-cli. After uploading the asciinema you can use the tool to download a file that you can immediately click and drag into a README. It's something that I'm using extensively on bespoken. How it works? I was surpised to learn

‘The Institute’ Is a Solid Stephen King Adaptation

Stephen King is easily the most-adapted horror author; his books are so popular, many of the biggest ones have been adapted multiple times. Right now, there’s both a Carrie series and a feature take on The Stand in the works, and Edgar Wright’s The Running Man just dropped its first trailer. With the same titles seemingly caught in Hollywood’s revolving door, it can be tempting to forget King is still regularly publishing new stories. That’s one reason The Institute is such an intriguing new ar

OnePlus Buds 4 Review: These Wireless Earbuds Have Almost Everything

Not everyone is an audiophile, and that’s okay. But once you’ve seen (or heard, I guess) the light of getting a little bit more than usual, it’s hard to go back. So what exactly is “a little bit more” when it comes to wireless earbuds? It’s not always easy to identify, but you’ll know it when you hear it, and the OnePlus Buds 4, while not looking like it on the surface, are definitely delivering that something extra. See Buds 4 at OnePlus Speaking of looks, let’s start there. If minimalism is

The Last of Us Part II’s new mode puts the story in chronological order

With season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us in the books, and with no The Last of Us Part III coming in the immediate future, Naughty Dog has come up with an interesting way to funnel all the attention from the show into the game. The studio has released a new, free patch for The Last of Us Part II Remastered that lets you play the game in chronological order. The mode takes Abby and Ellie’s stories and interleaves them in chronological order rather than the nonlinear story of the original version of

Cybersecurity’s Unsung Heroes: Elevating Neurodiverse Talent in the Digital Age

They aren’t your average hires. They don’t glide through job interviews or thrive in open-plan offices. But when it comes to pattern recognition, threat modeling, or zero-day hunting, neurodiverse individuals often outperform their peers. And yet, they remain largely untapped in the cybersecurity workforce. If we’re serious about fortifying digital defense systems, it’s time we stop overlooking the neurodiverse minds that already think in ways most cybersecurity frameworks are only beginning to

Gemini’s new rainbow-colored overlay box is rolling out to beta testers

AssembleDebug / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s in the middle of freshening up Gemini’s look with new rainbow colors and some updates to the on-screen overlay. After the app icon got new colors last week, they’re now starting to hit the overlay in beta. We’re still waiting on the overlay’s new shape and on-screen animation to arrive. Pride might have been last month, but don’t tell Gemini, because Google’s AI agent is currently smack-dab right in the middle of a rainbow-fueled makeover. Aft

Amazon Even Offers the Newly Released DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal Stabilizer at an All-Time Low for Prime Day

Filming with your phone has come a long way. Today’s smartphones can capture 4K footage, slow motion, cinematic scenes, and more, but even with all that power, there’s one thing that’s tough to fix in post: shaky hands. Whether you’re walking through a park, chasing after your kids, or just trying to film a smooth pan of your surroundings, it seems like you’ve always got a little bit of shakiness to contend with. But there’s a solution, and it doesn’t mean having to get a completely new camera.

Mastodon, the open-source, decentralized social network offering an alternative to Elon Musk’s X and Meta’s Threads, is rolling out a number of updates with Tuesday’s release of Mastodon 4.4. Most notably, the app is taking the first steps towards implementing a change that will bring it on par with other networks, but may also impact user behavior: it’s preparing to integrate Quote Posts, or what Twitter used to call Quote Tweets.
