asking out of the curiosity, how does the accessibility compare to VS 2022, or VS Code? Are they better, or is it the same everywhere? I'm not blind, or disabled in any other way, but at least half of all the accessibility features I know about are useful to people like me, because they either speed up my workflow, or make it more comfortable.
@y4si0 Hi, thanks very much for your interest. The short answer is that everything comes to speed. JBR is the fastest IDE, the reaction time is instant, but some things do not read. VS 2022 is a mess, its slow and some things do not read; VS 2019 is very good, but its function will be limited as time comes and VS Code I personally don't like very much as its web based. I hear blind developers like and use it, but not for C#, rather for Python, Rust, ETC.

oh lord please don't ever do this web designers, i use selected text to mark where i am as i read (ADHD woo) and this is a mind-warping distraction that nobody, nobody on earth, needs

With web forms, for birthdate, a text input should be used for the best usability. A dropdown for the year is bad, but this is ridiculous! Sorry, but no one will be born in 2055 for another 32 years.

Plenty of great people have cycled through #Medium at various points, but I would love to see a little bit of memory retention about their organizational history:
"Medium abruptly cancels the membership programs of its 21 remaining subscription publishers" niemanlab.org/2018/05/medium-a…
Chris Faraone knew something was wrong when he got a reader email the morning of May 7 asking if the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism was shutting down.
As far as alternatives go: I'm really excited to see more communities try out PubPub! pubpub.org
It's the most similar open-source option I've come across (e.g. has some social features and lots of ways to organize/layout content).
But open source CMSes and community-platforms are actually an embarrassment of riches. Just those pesky network effects/FOMO keeping people tethered to the VC clowncars.
I’ve been reading/publishing pieces on Medium for many years now. I’m aware of the myriad pivots, but had no idea about much of what I’m seeing here.
I love my Medium experience but I’m considering a move to Substack because I see a lot of good writers there, but would love to learn more about their experience.
Have you found a good home there? Is there anything problematic worth noting?
While this is the end of the series it's hopefully only the beginning of a larger resilience initiative within GNOME and free software more broadly. If you're interested in working on this I'd be very happy to hear from you.

You can still see the bug report for the notorious issue 90. Many people were upset to find that the sorting algorithm in V8, used by Chrome and node.js, was not stable. I, and others on the V8…
The Rust base64 crate got a new release the other day, which removed (or rather deprecated for now) the simple encoding/decoding API and requires quite a bit boilerplate for such a simple task.
The maintainer does not see the point in providing a simpler API for the common cases because if the API is too difficult to use then Rust is just the wrong language for you 🙄
Too bad the crate has such a prominent name on crates.io and is used so widely. I hope that doesn't turn away too many beginners because something as simple as base64 handling is so complicated.
The data-encoding crate looks like a good alternative for the same tasks. It provides the same amount of flexibility while still providing a simple API for the common tasks.
Tomorrow is my first day of class this semester at Duke University.
For my first year seminar I am asking the students to build and use an astrolabe. It is a great way to both get a physical understanding of the sky, and to really appreciate the sophistication of early astronomy.
The astrolabe was used for centuries to tell the time, navigate, etc. Now you can make and use one too by following the instructions here:
This is a really great guide to help you prepare in advance for the possibility of having covid, and remind you what to do if the worst happens! I've never seen this kind of info all collated together like this before.
Really valuable resource! (especially if like me you have trouble remembering or making plans etc!)

I copied the whole rust doc approach for gi-docgen, after the hotdoc maintainer added the source locations to the introspection data; having a direct link to the source is a great way to help people, and more importantly to get contributions back. Nothing like fixing a typo, or clarifying the docs, to get a new contributor involved in a project
Direct links to the docblocks let people open up the source on GitLab, edit from the web UI, and open a merge request—all without using the command line or an IDE; and since the API reference is built by the CI pipeline, you can also verify that things like links are correct, and see the final output before hitting the Merge button. It's so convenient, I ended up writing a Sphinx extension to link the pages on developer.gnome.org to their corresponding files in GitLab.
...I had never noticed there's an actual button for Permalink, I just one day discovered that pressing "y" will convert the link to a permalink on GitHub and GitLab and have been using that

Tutanota is an innovative end-to-end encrypted email service that takes your privacy seriously. With the built-in encryption only you can access your data.
Hi, and thanks for the awesome work! Is it possible to enable pin lock (not system type lock) and auto lock (which will lock the app after some time) for the tutanota android app?
Do you like security? Do you like privacy? Cryptography? Do you like working for a public benefit non-profit instead of an investor-beholden corporation?

Here is what I see. Further down it mention "team spread US & Canada" but it's unclear since it still only mention US-only things like "401k", making think the offer is US only. Hence my question. Had it never mentioned the team was "US and Canada", I'd not even bother asking.

here's my folder of recipes i've written/modified if anyone wants them. did you know recipes can't be copyrighted? it's true! that's why all the recipe sites have blog posts on them because you can copyright a blog post that happens to contain a recipe, but the recipe part itself: not copyrightable.
1. recipes can't be copyrighted because you can't copyright a "series of steps". too simple 2. but you can copyright a computer program right? 1. well yes 2. aren't computer programs a series of steps? 1. ... 2. didn't we start copyrighting computer programs right about the time we started going from women doing the computing to men taking over those workplaces? 1. look, computer programs are worth a lot of money, 2. and cooking is feminized labor. understood, have a good day
Berlin, January 12, 2023 – LibreOffice 7.4.4 Community, the fourth maintenance release of LibreOffice 7.4, the volunteer-supported office suite for personal productivity on the desktop, is immediately available from https://www.libreoffice.
Glad I saw this. When I run check for updates, it tells me Libreoffice 7.3 is up to date. NB- system requirements, from the downloads page, says MacOS 10.12. But 7.4 release notes says 10.13.
@Hash Hmm, it should work – what's your setup (eg macOS version)? Note that the Mac App Store shows by default apps for iPhones and iPads, so you may need to change that...
Some crucial fixes have gone into the macOS version which should resolve the incessant crashing that was happening since 7.2. Many thanks to the developers who have submitted these fixes!

The #Lightning Network (second layer over #Bitcoin) does not scale either. It is limited by the ridiculous throughput of #Bitcoin blockchain.

I've tried to set up my prosody xmpp-server (more exactly: I migrated from a different machine with some really outdated version)
Most stuff works fine. Apart from mod_http_file_share that is.
If I...
Sorry to hear you're having problems! If the upload never starts, it may be an issue with your client or something isn't configured how your client expects. What client are you using?
Also, for real-time assistance with Prosody, you might find our community chat channel helpful: prosody.im/discuss
Just realized that the Stackoverflow post is by you 🙂
There's an issue in the configuration posted there:
In the disco_items option, you have specified your main domain as an item of itself. You need to put the upload component's domain there instead (e.g. "upload.example.org").
Without a link between the two domains, clients won't be able to discover your upload service.
Prosody automatically links direct subdomains for you, but as your upload service is not a subdomain of your main domain, manual linking (using disco_items) is required.
@prosodyim sorry, that was just some messed up description on my part
In my actual config, the VirtualHost is just "g33ky.de", the upload-subdomain is "chat.g33ky.de" and clients do discover it.
also i've tried different clients and they worked fine on my (really) old prosody-version that still used mod_http_upload - so I don't think it's a client side problem, but something about my setup
