Everyone? I wasn’t sure. I doubt a fresh-outta-CSS-bootcamp person would either. It’s ‘standardized’ within its niche. Niches can have shorthands, but breaking into mainstream seems a bit lofty considering the ambiguity from the outside (I’

My CSP won’t be happy to include unsafe-inline. Inline styles are hard to override. Not overthinking but I try to put some consideration for the folks using userStyles for their accessibility. Naming things is often hard, but at least wit

If you know CSS, you can write CSS. Sometimes utilities add indirection that’s harder to follow in the long term—especially with folks that aren’t already using these utilities. In 10 years, will it be easier to follow `mb-5` as medium bord

It’s not a direct method, but really, you should try a) study the source code of the big ‘frameworks’ such as Bootstrap (especially if you dig into the comments & issues / patches that fixed worse practices with better practices) &

Utility classes are meant for utility purposes, not to replace CSS, but you see so many projects out in the wild now terrified to have a classname that’s relevant to the topic which makes it harder to organize, but also harder to select for

Most folks seem adverse to learning CSS. In contemporary times they’ll go as far as to add 44 cryptic utility class names to element to avoid writing a line of the stuff.

The inclusion of a XMPP client is cute

by toastal 3y ago
Eh, I mean it’s better than Discord & Slack, yes. The Matrix model of mirror the entire history of all user conversations, including attachments, make it costly to host the storage side. This in turn makes self-hosting not appeal which

That workaround is obviously not ideal & still requires an account (& possibly a phone number too). And your private message will still be logged. And using the service also still causes a big issue for search as you can’t find solu

When will Bun use an open standard like IRC, XMPP, or Matrix as a community chat option instead of being limited to usage of proprietary Discord & subject to their ToS?

Flake utils as most people use it is often useless if not dangerous (leading users into errors you’ll now get bug reports for). To write a for loop over systems is 1–5 lines of Nix code instead of pulling in a dependency & it’s subdepen

We don’t want your proprietary Discord room—we want to see open options like an IRC chatroom, XMPP MUC, or Matrix Space.

I’ve heard it has less system resources, but the Synapse compatibility needs to be maintained. One of the bigger runaway issues tho becomes storage as the protocol requires replicating the entire chat/attachment history of all users fo

There’s issue with metadata & the requirement of sharing one’s address book to use WhatsApp. I wouldn’t be surprised if it too like Signal required users have a Android/iOS primary device & a phone number or you can’t use the s

And Matrix is currently too heavy to self-host which means relying on Matrix.org (who also controls the spec). My vote would be an XMPP MUC that’s bridged to IRC. This keeps it lightweight & decentralized. Both of these options could be

All project maintainers: take notes on why your community shouldn’t be built around Discord’s service. Bridge to it only if you must, but don’t make it the primary chat option.

You should batch compress to JPEG XL too with cjxl --lossless_jpeg=1 --quality=80 --effort=9 {} {/.}.jxl (or magick)

I use this with Nix all the time. Great utility.

That’s one phone with overpriced features unfortunately. I understand you’re paying for a small batch, niche device (that some users have had a lot of issues getting the thing shipped) to get a slow CPU, measly RAM/storage, meh camera,

So you have to pick your lock-in for a Markdown processor? Once you step outside of CommonMark, nothing is compatible. Compare that to AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, Org mode… these support metadata as a first-class feature (as you would expec

Sorry boo, but the telephony is generally pretty garbage on all the Linux options & a phone still needs to be a phone. A lot of those important apps won’t be supported as well as they only cater to the Android/iOS duopoly.

I believe usage numbers were low, but it was likely most beloved by power users, which is the same audience that disables the telemetry & experiments as that trust has been abused on more than one occassion in the past. SSB was removed

I’m self-hosting Miniflux & use it in the browser or with Newsboat. It’s lacking a few features (namely the ability to give multiple tags to feeds for organizing/consumption), but ultimately it’s low-bloat & good on resource us

I used to use Fx’s Live Bookmarks all the time back when it was still around. It made sense in organizing ones bookmarks to also have feeds.

This lessens the payload of the RSS as well not shipping dozens of whole articles.

And literally almost any other lightweight markup option will be better suited too. Markdown doesn’t support metadata, details/summary, callouts/admonitions, image attributes, citing quotations, definition lists, etc.

Title says Git, but the article only mentions Microsoft GitHub. There’s also a host of cool projects not using Git—darcs, Pijul, Fossil, Mercurial, Subversion, etc. Microsoft GitHub already has a gamified Explore section… if any projects

No planned obsolescence but they removed the headphone jack & started selling the earbuds which are one of the kings of e-waste compared to getting a nice pair of headphones or IEMs that will last a decade or more.

That’s a sad jump. I’d say support/embrace Linux mobile, but we know the app makers won’t support it (and shitty apps like Signal require a primary device running one of the mobile duopoly OSs) & we we know Google with its Web In
