They love to overcapitalize here as well. If I had a dollar for every SASS, LESS, and FF instead of their correct Sass, Less, Fx forms…

What if open source is your most-wanted feature? That hardware isn't open.

Reminder: Yubico doesn't have a monopoly on security keys. Make sure your software/tutorials support the open-source alternatives like OnlyKey and NitroKey.

They were so close! Too bad WhatsApp sends all the metadata through Meta and requires your share you contacts/address book with them … and Signal requires both a SIM card and an Android/iOS primary device.

Yep—and Codeberg is right there if you need a EU non-profit for FOSS code hosting which is especially good for students without the money for servers. When given the choice, I’ve been suggesting EU tech of US tech recently knowing they’ll n

Is it though? Is it exceptional? There are plenty of alternatives with feature parity, and the tech like Opus for low-latency audio and overlays for video games was freely available and good in Mumble ages ago (and still good though). Dis

That’s still great feedback though—especially when you mention PPX support which is pretty common.

You are requiring users sign up for an account on a proprietary, closed-source, for-profit server. All metadata will flow through this entity and whoever they choose to share or sell this data to. Many rooms demand SMS verification which wi

Yes, but also no. Each time Microsoft slips, you do see the waves of folks migrating and a lot of big projects—like KDE, GNOME, Freedesktop—have moved elsewhere since ’16. My concern is more on the education side where schools are starting

Awesome. I hadn't seen that. I remember using OTR in the past and switching from machines didn't really work, but the multi-client support that OMEMO brings though is pretty critical in a time where a most have multiple devices. I

A MUC on a modern XMPP client/server can do most of it. There are XEPs for reactions, stickers, threading, etc. and it still works well for small voice and video chats. The voice chat for gaming though is better handled by Mumble.

Counter anecdote: all of the hardcore Nix users/developers convinced me it was worth it to switch to Flakes now. They even helped me move my NixOS config as well.

That's a good read but I'm still unclear on dune vs. ocamlfind/ocamlopt. Is dune not using those under the covers like Nix could?

by toastal 4y ago
Meanwhile, much of the Nix world is using the composable and standardized system of Flakes so they can easily share their derivations. Flakes are behind a flag, but are a part of `nix` and all of these other tools are adding dependencies an

There are tools out there for other languages that _can_ handle incremental & per-modules builds, such as purs-nix for PureScript, so if opam-nix doesn't now, I'm sure it will in the future as a lot of projects are asking for
