Mám v telefonu 5 instant messaging aplikací:
• Messages - ano, SMSky, ale díky RCS už to má blíž k IM aplikacím; tohle aspoň občas používají všichni
• Google Meet - to minimálně v mém okolí nepoužívá nikdo :)
• Viber - příčetnější část rodiny
• WhatsApp - zbytek rodiny, řemeslníci; se skřípěním zubů
• Signal - pár dalších kámošů
A musím říct, že z toho úplně happy nejsem 🙁
Jak jste na tom vy?
Bugfix rate in the #curl project is currently racing to an all-time high.
(yes, presumably this also means we insert more bugs as well as there need to be something to fix...)
They feed those tools answers from SO don't they? Do they program it somehow to recognize when the answers are wrong? Do they take age into account? When I ask it to hack me out some C++ metaprogram is it going to give me a constexpr based one or some C++03 TMP monstrosity? I used to write those.
I mean...I don't use the thing because I care if my code works and isn't ancient on birth. :p I also rarely actually GOT answers when I actually asked instead of answered. Yeah, about tha
Publishers and authors can't often even sell separately because of the restrictions from things like Kindle unlimited and whatnot. it's a stupid situation. An eBook should be readable by anything, ripe for Braille transcription due to UEB supposedly disambiguating everything and yet there's all these pissing contests over DRM going about.
@cachondo @simon IMO Amazon is the tech company most deserving of antitrust scrutiny, and it doesn't get any.
Audible/kindle are so large that they can do almost anything they want, and what they do is plainly anticompetitive.
What we get instead is petty squabbles over who gets the 30% cut from a Spotify subscription and laws that make iOS devices less secure.
@cachondo @simon Short answer, because they can be.
Amazon pretty much controls both the distribution market and the reader market, so there are no compatibility challenges and no downsides to doing it this way.
Compare that to e.g. Poland, where the market is a lot more fragmented, you have dozens of publishing companies and ebook stores, dozens of ebook reader brands, and customers that want to use all possible combinations of these.
The only way to make that possible is offering PDF, epub and mobi downloads, as well as using watermarking as a piracy deterrent instead of DRM.
@esoteric_programmer this article describes FediNuke. A subset of a subset of the pleroma.envs.net blocklist, with receipts, for the worst instances on Fedi. It’s designed to be suitable for new admins who don’t know a good starting point but are wary of most blocklists.
The linked article describes how it’s made and the criteria I use. The bar for inclusion is higher than most lists: staff with Nazi imagery, staff participating in targeted harassment campaigns against marginalized users by sending shock content and sui-bait, staff posting anti-Black and antisemitic racial caricatures, etc. are all common reasons to end up on the list.
You can either scroll through receipts and pick which instances you want to block, or just import and review later.

For anyone looking for a Password Manager, I would seriously give Bitwarden a try. It has been around for a good while, but I first heard about it when Glen Gordon demonstrated it in FSCast.
If Glen has good things to say about an application, I always take a great deal of notice. He was the one who told me first about the Everything program which I use every day and which I've encouraged plenty of other blind people to use.
Perhaps I should write a lot more about the tools I use to get jobs done under Windows.
Back to the story, I've never ever got on with 1Password. I don't know why that is but I never found it easily usable under Windows.
Bitwarden is highly accessible and easily usable with JAWS. There is a great deal of configuration, and it does save you remembering different passwords. It also generates them for you, can populate the various fields if that is what you want, and you can launch sites previously stored.
There's a great deal more you can do with this app.
Glen does give some good tips about how to access the various alerts including shortcut keys and where to find them.
So again, if that is something people are wanting, it's an excellent option.

New entry in my “uses” page:
usvg
is an SVG compiler, and one of the most under-appreciated tools I use. It compiles complex SVGs into simpler path-based SVGs. Edge-case SVGs may render incorrectly in some renderers (e.g. librsvg), but compiling them with usvg tends to iron these edge-cases out and make them more compatible. usvg
is part of the resvg project, which is the most conformant SVG renderer I know of (and much smaller than librsvg if you include dependencies!).
I’ve sent all the SVGs on seirdy.one through usvg
, and rasterized many of the emotes on pleroma.envs.net with resvg
.
