    Fantastic! 🐤
    (A Rubber Duck #Emoji was refused in 2019 and again in 2022)

    There’s a long history of noise-maker squeezeboxes

    Including one of my favourite #concertina patents

    OpenMoji, Open-source emojis for designers, developers and everyone else!

  4. So on a day when my #company issued #laptop and #GitHub conspired to severely reduce my #throughput, I still managed to open 14 #pullrequests. Small ones but they actually exist.

    As reward, in the hopes that this problem is related to #DNS, I added a bunch of highway/motorway/road 53 images as #custom #emoji in company chat.

  5. Why does the github hamburger menu look like a 🥞 pancake emoji now for me??

  6. 🎼 KlarinettenspielerInnen aller Länder vereinigt euch! Mit der Erweiterung um neue #Emoji-Grafiken (siehe z.B. #Apple #iOS 26.4) kommt ein weiteres #Blasinstrument hinzu – leider nur die Posaune. Neben #Trompete, #Horn, #Flöte und #Saxophon nun also wieder nur #Blech. Die #Königin der Instrumente, die Klarinette, bleibt dagegen erneut außenvor. Ich prangere das an. ✊🏼 🎶

  7. Les smileys ne sont pas apparus par magie ni par un comité marketing. Leur invention est le fruit d’un contexte précis, d’une époque où Internet balbutiait encore et où la communication écrite posait un vrai problème de ton et d’interprétation. Une solution simple allait pourtant tout changer.

  8. If you're honest with yourself, what style of faces do you use in online communication?

    Not the vibe you'd like to give off, but what you really do in practice. And let's limit it to personal communication, not your worksona.

  9. #Emacs: Has anybody a clue why I can't find 🕵️‍♂️ (male-detective; man-detective as of emojiace.com/man-detective ) via "C-x 8 RET"?

    I was puzzled not to be able to play around with it while reading the awesome article of rahuljuliato.com/posts/unicode

    Edit: I found it via: M-x emoji-insert (C-x 8 e i): People → Role → y

    I'd prefer to also find it via C-x 8 RET (search) though.

    Edit 2: graz.social/@[email protected]/115841 suggests that composed emojis aren't available for "C-x 8 RET". 😔 However, the linked article above explains how to compose it yourself from "SLEUTH OR SPY" (🕵️) and "MALE SIGN" (♂).

  10. Why is there no sad/empathetic/sympathetic smile emoji!?!? It's one of the ones I need the most, and after 10 years of Unicode emoji, with tons of additions trough the years, noone has yet added this most useful emoji!? Why!?

  11. Wie das Emoticon entstand: Die Geschichte hinter dem ersten Smileysymbol
    Am 19. September 1982 schlug Scott Fahlman an der Carnegie Mellon University eine neue Form der Kennzeichnung von Witzen vor. Daraus entwickelte sich das Emoticon, das unsere Online-Kommunikation bis h

  12. In Ru̇u̇ťalis, the common way to write text smileys appears reversed from the Western standard; with the colon representing eyes on the right side.

    • (:
    • C:
    • D:

    As Ru̇u̇ťalis' orthography features quite a few uncommon variations on Latin letters (namely: U̇u̇, Ėė, Ťť, Šš, Žž), some unique smiley variants emerged when a language community first emerged on the internet, including:

    • u̇/u̇ (bags under the eyes, tired)
    • Ť.Ť (frustrated, disappointed)
    • Š (a snake; usually meant as a threat or as posturing)

  13. The white Republican Mormon governor of Utah was reading a furry OwO meme on national television yesterday and the poor bastard was completely clueless. And everybody in law enforcement and media and the press who thinks they do understand OwO actually thinks it's the same as UwU. I had no choice, I had to do a meme explainer.

  14. 🚀 Ah, the riveting exploration of HTML's "Content #Template," where techies gather to discover... absolutely nothing new! 🤖 Skip everything and dive into an abyss of #references that even a bot would find #repetitive. But hey, at least the emojis are more engaging than the actual #content. 😂

  15. While we await proper details about the "on device" #AI models that #Apple mentioned during the macOS segment of the #WWDC keynote, here is what I am most excited about from Apple's 2026 operating systems.

    Cross-OS features:
    - #LiveTranslation (finally)
    - #Polls in the #Messages!
    - #HoldAssist? TBD

    #macOS
    - #Spotlight actions (with #QuickKeys)
    - #Clipboard history
    - New #Shortcuts (and "Intelligent actions")
    - Custom folder colors!
    - Now with the #Phone app!
    - More control center customization

    #iPadOS
    - See post above
    - Mac's red-yellow-green window control buttons
    - Also getting the Phone app!

    #watchOS
    - The #WristFlick gesture? We'll see.
    - Configurable #widgets? Maybe.

    My current workflows probably won't benefit from
    - the "liquid" or "glass" aesthetic
    - a #WorkoutBuddy (no more voices talking to me during workouts, please)
    - the #Games app
    - anything #tvOS, #visionOS, #emoji

    What excited you?

    What disappointed you?

    What surprised you?

    What was missing from your wish list?

  16. A short musical piece guided by #emoji instead of words? I wanted to try -- turned out pretty well, I think! See if you like it. Happy to send you a PDF by request. Stay tuned for my Emoji Symphony! #emoji #music #emojiinmusic #fadolín #fadolin #musica #notation #dorico #ljova

  17. Před nějakou dobou jsem zveřejnil vlastní sadu emodži (nebo „samolepek“) určených pro Fedivesmír a jiné sociální sítě. Jedná se o obdobu ve světě již známých a dosti hojně užívaných kapkoček (anglicky „blobcats“), vytvořenou vlastnoručně, od základů, a (na rozdíl od jiných) zveřejněnou pod svobodnou uměleckou licencí, ergo užívejte, šiřte a upravujte, co srdce ráčí! :gutkato_koro:

    Před pár dny jsem navíc dokončil a připravil ke stažení jejich český překlad, takže pokud má nějaký český server zájem nabídnout svým uživatelům kočičí emodži v mateřském jazyce, nyní můžete! Oproti originálu chybí jen pár exotičtějších vlajek LGBT, nad jejichž překladem váhám. Kdo potřebuje, doplň svépomocí. :gutkato_dikfingro_supren:
