After one direction of the 40 bus was committed, the chart pictured here looked better than others I tested before. But after getting halfway done updating stops in the opposite direction the diagram is looking off. The Essex park & ride has a full circle, and I expect the West Baltimore MARC station will also when I get there, given those stops are, um, #bidirectional .

Yesterday, I noticed Benedkit has archived the repository of #Hugo #Vitae theme:

github.com/dataCobra/hugo-vita

I've been using this theme for a long time for my personal blog(which has got a very top notch domain!). Recently, a group of #Persian #FOSS contributors and I added #RTL and #bidirectional text support to Vitae. We had forgotten to send a PR upstream. As I found Benedikt is no longer interested in maintaining vitae, I took over and also moved the code hosting to codeberg:

codeberg.org/farooqkz/hugo-vit

The first thing I did was merging RTL support but a regression happened. And someone opened an issue while the repository was still hot, reporting a regression. I fixed the regression. Now Vitae supports both LTR and RTL. There are few "meta" things which still needs to be done tho.

If you want to see a website with vitae but RTL, see my Persian blog:

Folks, I do need some advice related to #hardware please. My #homeoffice desk and it's surroundings are home to 2 machines running #Win10 , 1 machine running #PopOS and one machine running the #ubuntu office server. I am obviously running out of space for input devices. Does anyone have experience with #bidirectional #USB #switch|es for more than 2 machines and more than 2 devices per machine? I think I really do need one of those, but have no clue, which one to buy.

please RT.

It's so hard for me to understand what is doing.

Its like they don't care about technology or users that much at this point and the higherups are looking for a cash grab.

That horrible decision in the terms of usage and license agreement and the fact that doesn't support RTL languages (Persian, Arabic, Hebrew etc.) And the whole RTL user base of firefox are depending on the bidi-mail-ui extension, which the maintainer says is so hacky because mozilla doesn't document and communicate changes, is INSANE.

It's 2025, and mozilla is totally disregarding ~15% of the world that use RTL writing.

Issues, discissions and requests for native BiDi support have been said for years. BiDi support is a basic ability.

A little good news! "#Zum has provided #Oakland Unified School District with a fleet of 74 #electric #school #buses and #bidirectional #chargers. Utility Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) supplied 2.7 megawatts (MW) of load to Zum’s Oakland EV-ready facility. The #fleet will be managed through Zum’s #AI-enabled #technology platform."

Electrek · Oakland is now first in the US to have a 100% electric school bus fleet – and it’s V2GBy Michelle Lewis

Turns out rendering #Arabic is hard. No, you can't just implement the #Unicode #Bidirectional Algorithm and call it a day. It turns out the Arabic letters/symbols/? have different forms depending on where they are in the word and probably there are other non-trivial features. Yeah, I guess I just postpone this.

So my 1000 IQ workaround for now is to just render all arabic characters as U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER for now.

📣 New policy brief ! Bidirectional #EV charging offers unprecedented opportunities for mobility and energy services. What’s needed to make sure #bidirectional #EV #charging benefits all consumers, power grids and the environment ?

Proud to see @RegulatoryAssistanceProject first brief on #V2G with three policy principles :

✅ Build trust and establish common standards
✅ Get prices right to guide (dis-)charging
✅ Equal access and treatment
