Micro doesn't implement text rendering, but depends on your terminal emulator to do that.

Recently added support for SVG chord symbols on my chordbook gemsite.
As it turns out, many gui #gemini clients (deedum, lagrange, amfora) have atrocious svg support
gemini://songs.zachdecook.com/chord.svg/E7?022130
Probably will look into it for lagrange in the future.
Today, I calculated the meter of each 'letter' of #psalm119 using https://github.com/christian-classics-ethereal-library/hyphenator
The word "blessed" is counted as one syllable, but we can make it split it into two.

By now, most websites are 'mobile friendly', but don't look good on 200×200px displays, such as smartwatches. We need to design for the least common denominator, after all.

PHP8 is a thing
Own up who let the PHP team see Rust and TypeScript? You know what they are like

Using my fork of scenes and screen, I made a virtual shared whiteboard for my coworkers to collaborate with.

Thanks for the little things!
Anybody interested in a user-friendly editable #wiki on #gemini?
I've written the first two pages, please see
gemini://wiki.zachdecook.com
Powered by lists.sr.ht and updated every ten minutes by a crude cron job script. (No conflict resolution yet, but all changes are saved in the email list, so nothing is lost).

@sir see ya on :1965
@lunduke
Thanks for responding! I don't follow the tracking argument... can you elaborate?
@sir
Not sure if it's the norm, but it is very common.
Though I've found that many have different creative endeavors which I might not have noticed, as they're so different from my own.

@sir At least to some degree (I think) this is explained here https://www.raptitude.com/2010/07/your-lifestyle-has-already-been-designed/

Related: I don't trick Vim out to be an IDE-alike, and neither should you. I use mostly vanilla Vim:
https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/dotfiles/tree/master/.vimrc
I use a second terminal and shell commands to do various tasks I might ask of an IDE, such as building the software, finding compile errors, bulk find or bulk replace, using tools like grep, sed, awk, make, etc. This approach is very flexible - almost any task can performed and almost any question answered without having to use rails laid down by IDE designers - but also practical, because they can be turned into re-usable scripts.
Good reference if you lack shell proficiency:

@purism I was unable to find the place where you explain how that funding will be used (allocating internal developer time to work on the apps, paying upstream developers…). Can you point me to that page?
@sir
When people say "search engine", do they mean the engine, the engine + web index + frontend, or another thing masquerading as a search engine?
@sir
https://manticoresearch.com/
Open source search engine. (we use this at work with millions of records in our index)
@govynnus
That's nice. I still have my Nexus 5, but without a working OS. One time early 2019 flashing pmOS failed; someone on the internet suggested that maybe my flash memory went bad 😞
@dctrud@mastodon.social
That's the nature of things.
We should all set up personal archive proxies like mozz.us:1966 to keep pages from getting lost (or inaccessible during server maintenance).
