I don't know; that's why I'm asking. Maybe buildOpamPackage already does it? https://github.com/tweag/opam-nix#buildOpamProject There's a buildDunePackage in the same region of the docs that runs `d

Nix is a build system + dependency manager. So wouldn't that cover the use case? I know some packages use a Makefile with ocamlbuild or the like. I want less moving parts and less things to learn if I can.

Hopefully the OP already migrated repositories elsewhere and only allows Microsoft GitHub to open merge requests to projects that have yet to institute a mirror or mailing list.

In 2023, you shouldn’t be using nix-env or niv or shell.nix but rather just use Nix Flakes. It’s listed in the notes but this has long been where everyone has moved for a couple of years now (why it’s still “experimental” is a different que

The irony is that I have some regrets pushing to move my family to Signal (mostly away from Facebook Messenger and SMS) while I've pondered a dumbphone or a Linux phone due to SIM card+Android/iOS primary device required. On this

Jitsi works for screensharing on X11 + Fx for me. It's a worthy alternative if you want to escape not unjust Microsoft but Google as well.

Yup. A Fx Nightly user might be reporting a new, valid bug about a spec change or new policy around the anti-fingerprinting tech which would give the site/app owner time to react before this change makes its way to stable. Will there b

"Vast" has subjectivity to it, and neither of us will bother doing this per capita, but China, as well as the US, Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines have massive populations and it's not the most popular in them. I suppose i

I self-hosted ejabberd on an 2014 smartphone using postmarketOS last weekend. The defaults were almost all good enough and the only tricky part was setting up all the networking bits (getting my domain names hooked up to nameservers, dynami

I can agree any Apple-specific lock-in is not good, however you're talking about the ability to chat on the platform and not going beyond just access to include whether we should be trusting our data to that platform—different question

Moving to WhatsApp is hardly an upgrade. Having to trust the encryption out of Meta and be required to share your address book/contacts and metadata with them is not the future we should want for the next generation. It's not a &q

When I switched from PHP to Python years ago I had the same feeling as the OP, then it became the third best, then the fourth, then situational when object-orientation makes sense, then for just scripting, and now... unsure beyond a persona

With rose-tinted glasses, we can and probably should go back to this. I fondly remember YIM from high school and eventually getting Pidgin/Adium to wrangle ICQ, MSN, AIM, and the mass of options Jabber-based options via libpurple. I&#x

You can use F#, but this implores that we get more engines if all they are compatible with is Microsoft .NET.

Not saying there aren't use cases where it would be preferred, but you can still use truly wireless earbuds with a Bluetooth capable phone/laptop/desktop that has a 3.5mm headphone jack. You can't however jam a plug into

I bought the XM3s to try out a while back when my old laptop lacked a jack and offerings for a good OLED are slim in my country, but these headphones just don't sound very good--especially for the price. My IEM cables are thick and don

Like Google teasing Apple for removing the headphone jack and then following that anti-usability trend on next year's model.

That's how my Pebble watch died. It's a shame since it was a hackable device with good battery, but I misjudged resealing the device.

They also dropped the headphone jack on v4 like other flagship phones.

by toastal 4y ago
Why they don't support heodphones? Because Google needs to sell matching Pixel buds that can't be repaired due to size and operate on flaky Bluetooth connections with questionable sound quality.

Headphone jack and OLED display are my only two musts on a new smart phone. Wireless earbuds are scam solution by the problem created by removing the jack. But I really can't go back to IPS on any display in my life where the experienc

Both. A lot of folks live in apartments, condos, dorms where the walls aren't good at sound insulation. Putting in your IEMs gives you better sound and isnot going to disturb anyone.

https://github.com/jirutka/asciidoctor-html5s The HTML alternate back-end fixes a lot of these issues and chooses semantic elements for a more modern age (while Asciidoctor is actively overhauling its output I believe)

To not deal with those headwinds because it is difficult to pick-up a new tool—especially if you haven’t in a long time or aren't interested in the tool/technology—we should priortize kids learning FOSS tools. Especially if it&#

That is Mastodon. But I framed the question in a way that doesn't limit options to only Mastodon as there are and could be different Fediverse platforms that may be better suited for the task.

Not untrue. I've waited like 10 years for that feature to arrive. However, once Adobe went subscription, and my software philosophy changed, darktable was actually better than Photoshop + Lightroom. Krita did a great job for digital pa
