So I'm forced to use Java for my summer internship. Guess who is gonna sneak Clojure source files every here and there! And why just Clojure tho, let's use a JVM language for each module!

While I agree with your high level view, @devinprater@dragonscave.space, and also think social media (or media portals in general) should have caption for all nontext content, IPFS operates on blocks of data without knowing what they are. While it can be used as a storage medium for the web, it belongs to a lower layer: what you'd want is a web-like protocol where a11y is strictly enforced, not limited to alt texts but also to forbid all flashy things confusing people with a perfect vision.

It's a feature, @huy_ngo, which seems to disappeared last time I tried on NixOS unstable. It tries to guess the physical size of the screen to keep the window in consistent size, which is desirable to me but I agree that it might be too smart.

@gamey, gomuks UI design does not fit narrow screen very well, which isn't its fault since TUI apps can usually expect 80x24. Though, something like ircll (or most IRC clients) would work well. cmus is go-to music player now though I use a graphical one on my laptop (Audacious).

Strange times, when a mega corp like #Amazon seems to do the right thing: https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/12/DCO.html

I want to take this chance to say that there's no such thing as a corperation identity, each is composed of many many different divisions and people. Though, Amazon making use of #DCO does not give them the right to abuse worker and union rights for example, and their abusive behavior towards small businesses must be punished in form of #boycotting.

@sam, there is also #SourceHut, which has some of the best CI experience out there with SSH'ing into builds and stand-alone builds. It does/will require a paid account though ($20 a year to $10 a month) but that's only necessary for hosting. The ecosystem is built around #email, so contributors need not have an account and users from different instances can easily send patches to each other (yay federation!).

@huy_ngo, I starred a private repo, the one full of sensitive information remember? I think I'll need to take it down, was not a very bright idea to put it up on the Internet in the first place without any encryption.

Finally, @huy_ngo, finally. Now I need to convince some upstreams to move as well (-;

The Reddit thread reminds me of Giara, @be. If you're into recursive ancronyms, any four-letter word ending with either -isc (is a Signal client) or -isa (is a Signal app) might be a good idea.

Unfortunately no, @be, sorry. I don't use Signal to understand it and think of a pun for it to keep our tradition, and I suspect all related names are already taken.

FYI @be, there already exists a RPG engine named #Flare (Free/Libre Action Roleplaying Engine), whose executable is flare (in Debian there's a metapackage named flare as well but that's something solvable): https://flarerpg.org

Flare is the first and only RPG I've ever finished (four times, counting one for the alpha campaign) and its gameplay is my absolute favorite, even compared to that of AAA games. Written on SDL2, it works just fine on the #PinePhone and touch input is WIP.

Does anyone have a more recent figure regarding the average #lifespan of a #HTTP #URL?

You baguette!

I think I found a way to stay at home and yet still socialize with folks all around the world: #IPFS, the InterPlanetary Friend System!

@wilkie, if I hear rain, I can take a glance at the humidity fetched from NOAA, which in turn crawls the data from a local station halfway across the world, instead of getting up to look out the window. love the present.

@alrs, what was depressing about the last/current Debian release?
