Yeah no thanks. Linting, formatting, LSP integration, Treesittet,… are just kind if essential for programming work. And the advantage of nvim/emacs/… is that you can bend them to your will and preferences.

If you just want to edit some config files, for sure, use literally anything. But I need something proper for work, and if I already set all of that up, might as well use it for the config files, too.

We really, really do. I miss r/PettyRevenge and cousins, plus r/TalesFromTechSupport.

Nice, I was able to send an email to that.

That’s what I’m not so sure about though. Forgejo/codeberg/… projects are already not hard to find through search engines. Add a federated in-forgejo search and you’d be set there.

And currently the problem indeed is that a forgejo project is on instance X, and you, as a developer only have accounts on Y and Z. But through federation, that would stop mattering, so I don’t get the “it’s where contributors are”: as long as contributors have a single forgejo account anywhere, we’d be good.

Yep yep yep. I have forgejo accounts on so many instances (including on my own, 2-person instance which hosts all my personal shit). I’d love to be able to jump into discussions and open PRs on other people’s forges without needing a new account.

Forgejo in particular is just a fantastic forge. It’s surprisingly feature-rich, and so, so fast compared to GitHub, even on very lowspecced hardware. I honestly think that if federation is properly implemented, then in the long run, GitHub will become obsolete for FOSS projects.

Yeah! Because famously, labor cost is what the high US healthcare costs go towards!

Sorry, unfortunately can’t help you there. My matrix server is not federated, I remember back then I created an account on matrix.org specifically to read these. But maybe they got deleted in the meantime?

Anyways, I have been really happy with continuwuity, to the point that up until now, I haven’t even looked at tuwunel again. The maintainers of continuwuity seem really nice and engaged, and both from a usage and stability point of view, as well as for the actually surprisingly fast release cycle, I have no complaints. I found and fixed a bug a couple weeks ago, and the dev process was also very friendly and relaxed.

In short: while I don’t know how things are on the tuwunel side, I’m very happy to have gone with continuwuity and have high hopes for the future of the project.

And yet, in non-English speaking countries, virtually every kid is taught English to a level that’s at least “roughly business”.

I also reject your premise of 8 hours / day for a year; how about 1-2 hours / day for 4-8 years.

In the case of English, school kids would get more like 2-4hrs per week and be perfectly fluent after a couple of years, btw.

Let’s hope the same thing will happen if/when the US tries to take Greenland; but honestly, I’m not optimistic. At least here in Germany, politicians and businesses are so used to licking the US’ boot that I have a hard time imagining a seismic shift. Not to mention that thanks to our dependence on US software, we’re incredibly vulnerable.

Still. One can hope.

Incredible?

You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow’s personal account, and without a link to the “original”, which yeah, kinda weird.

The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

The show is endlessly quotable

Mallory Archer?

Universal Android Debloater.

It’s a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.

I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

FWIW, I’ve been using Music Assistant with my Sonos speakers without issue.

HOWEVER, I’m using MA as part of Home Assistant, and have the speakers configured through HA, not MA. MA just sees the speakers as HA Media Players. That works really well.

The first time I heard about Star Citizen and S42, I was a teen and wasn’t able to save up enough allowance to buy even the cheapest ship/the game.

Now I’m looking to build a house with the love of my life.

I’ll probably have grandkids by the time this actually comes out. I have zero interest left.

Right, so the joke is misogyny, got it.

I don’t get it, what’s so funny about that joke?
