I'm looking for work!
I've worked on Mac apps like Growl and Adium, did QA and integration on Apple's Foundation framework, and developed custom analysis tools for Field Team 6. I've also done a wide variety of my own tools, mostly in Python, C, or Objective-C.
I live in SF; can do Bay Area commute or remote.

QNX becomes free for non-commercial use, releases Raspberry Pi 4 image
A long, long time ago, back when running BeOS has my main operating system had finally become impossible, I had a short stint running QNX as my one and only operating system. In 2004, before I joined OSNews and became its managing editor, I also wrote and published an article about QNX on OSNews, whic

Why would a UK news media do that? Don't they use metric units themselves? 😂

magick convert — their designated replacement for it, works fine for me 🤷

Oh, I didn't mean to offend — it's actually quite an accomplishment: getting to floor 7 evading most of the fights, I only remember doing this playing as wizard and using a wand of digging on the floor below me — it makes a hole that spans over multiple levels if you do it like this.

А что если правда? И каждое покушение было успешным, а они просто выпускали нового клона😮

The microwave oven I have now is nearly perfect — that wattage wheel labeled with just roman numbers might seem a bit confusing and it actually only goes up to 800, which might be a problem for some, but I mostly use it for reheating, so I'm fine with it. Otherwise I like it very much: just two controls, both rotary and no extra buttons, especially if the "touch" kind.

Muad'Stdlib — to make it sound fscked up on even more levels 😅

Are all 4 gigs usable though? I might be wrong, but I think Intel chipsets of the time only allowed you to use 3 — it was indeed 4 in "About this Mac", but in top/System Monitor you could see that system could only address 3 gigabytes.

You cannot order me around, you're not my mother! 😭
(Not that it would make it okay for my mother to order me around and of course I'm already following him 😁)

I haven't tried GNOME (or any full DE) in a while — they might be all awful to me at this point 😂 I want just the basic window management: be it dwm or sway, and I want to map shortcuts to launch the software I want. I already rely on some GTK-based software so I have the libraries installed, GNOME software isn't something deeply integrated — in most cases it's just something GTK-based — already having those libraries makes me fine with it.

Single-user instance is low-maintenance, I'm fine with self-hosting, but I'm currently at the crossroads: either I keep paying Proton to host my e-mail or find a VPS and switch to hosting it myself, if I go for the later — I might host Plemora there as well and stop worrying about my hardware not being powerful enough or burning through the power bill too fast. If I go for the former… I'm keeping qoto in mind, thanks!

There are known exceptions… such as the Web (which is complicated… but interesting because it's an exemplar case of regulatory capture), but unification (uniformication? is that even a word) is inferior to standardisation — as it enables evil in order to poke us in the back to take over only one team.

Sometimes I grow tired of splitting my posts into multiple parts and think of finding an instance that won't make me do that or of adding a visible character count for the input field in Bloat, which would at least make the task easier… But then I wake up 🤪
@admitsWrongIfProven
I have once made a template for gnome-feeds — an RSS reader, but it was in Vala and in the next version the *syntax* of Vala changed and it required Vala itself to be updated — my god, more patching! Eventually someone added it to upstream void-packages and it's no longer a problem, but that gave me a taste of what GNOME software can be. The RSS reader isn't even that good — uses tons of RAM, so I no longer use it 😂

Unlike Qt, which is a monolithic behemoth, software being GNOME usually doesn't mean a thing — it's not even that tightly integrated, it just means that UI is GTK-based, maybe with a few additional minor dependencies, which is fine by me. Again, that might turn out to not be true — there is software built in Vala.
@Hyolobrika
@admitsWrongIfProven
Most of my computers use Void and the system is very minimal and I do my best to avoid getting Qt installed — my distaste for which comes back from the days when Qt software in general was more bloated and slow, I know that in comparison it might no longer be true, but it's a matter of habit.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
