Two entirely new diagram types — Venn and Ishikawa — land alongside a significant fix that restores backward compatibility with v10, plus a pile of improvements across flowcharts, ER diagrams, Gantt charts, state diagrams, gitGraph, and more.

OpenChaos.dev is an experiment where the most upvoted pull request gets merged every day. Today’s winning PR added a 1.337% chance of serving a blank page. And Vercel, doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, cached it. So a probabilistic failure became a permanent outage.

Disclaimer: Not talking about Ctrl + Scroll.

I tried the Mouse Pinch-To-Zoom extension, which is buggy on some sites. And I even bought a physical touchpad for pinch zoom. Today I just leaned that it's natively supported as an experiment feature by FireFox

There are specific actions defined to set what happens if you rotate the mouse wheel and hold down modifier keys like Alt or Ctrl or Shift. You can disable this action by setting the related mousewheel pref to 0 (zero) on the about:config page.

mousewheel.with_alt.action = 0 

0: Nothing happens
1: Scrolling contents
2: Go back or go forward, in your history
3: Zoom in or out (reflowing zoom)
4: Treat vertical wheel as horizontal scroll
5: Zoom in or out (pinch zoom)

I changed the value to 5, and it works perfectly.

TL;DR: Since April 2025, The NixOS Foundation and Framework are officially partnering to improve NixOS support on Framework devices. This formalizes earlier community efforts, enabling selected community members to contribute to testing, documentation, and support for current and future hardware.

The encoding/decoding model of communication emerged in rough and general form in 1948 in Claude E. Shannon's "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," where it was part of a technical schema for designating the technological encoding of signals. Gradually, it was adapted by communications scholars, most notably Wilbur Schramm, in the 1950s, primarily to explain how mass communications could be effectively transmitted to a public, its meanings intact by the audience (i.e., decoders). -- Wilbur, Schramm (1954). The process and effects of mass communication. Urbana, Illinois: University of Illinois Press.

The "Claude Code" naming is something I’ve heard on Reddit (no source link).
