The day this is used widely across browsers is the day devices you own can no longer be flashed with anything other than what the OEM puts on it--even if that is outdated or buggy.

My texting is scattered. I’d prefer it to be all XMPP, but I engage with Signal, & Mattermost, IRC, & Matrix on a regular basis… & largely this is a result of me just quitting the other chat platforms that most are using here (L

Choosing between charging or audio shouldn’t have to be a choose when you consider it’s common courtesy to not spew your noise pollution into your public surroundings. Dongles big enough for passthru charging are too bulky to fit in a pocke

Slow down pal. How am I supposed to have SSG and hydration and hook with such a simple setup!? I need my system to be webscale™, not maintainable with minimal moving parts.

Since those services all died off my memory is a bit foggy, but I recall stacking contacts in one with Adium & being able to prioritize in that meta contact which service they provided. But I really only ever used it for two-person conv

True. But developers should push in that direction anyhow since it still means interop for those in that camp already… and considering how well those large systems have scaled, it’s a good idea.

We had universal chat applications & standards and interoperability in the 2000s. Pidgin (et al.) + libpurple allowed users to use a singular application for chat--even the proprietary protocols. We also had (& still have) XMPP fr

I don’t know I agree with this perspective. The internet is in many ways an unsafe space & surfing it with JavaScript in allowlist mode (e.g. blocking by default) should be in the bag of tricks users can use to mitigate some potential i

This isn’t a demos page--they are just static docs where the only interactive part is some JS to make it quicker to copy/paste. Right now these docs aren’t accessible to many reading options or search indexers since there is nothing

Blank page without scripts enabled by default or in a TUI browser. Seems these docs are just static content so I’m not sure why JavaScript is in the way of reading them.

Iosevka’s customizations are a gem. I can ‘fix’ the things I dislike about it with ease.

I dislike them too, but they can be disabled. This makes them ‘good’ for remote pair with something like upterm so two users that disagree on the subject can have it their way. Inappropriate usage is rampant making presentations & in-

…Or use something generic like a tarball? Almost all DVCS have the ability to export an archive. Don’t build on lock-in; build on the generic thing… and then provide an ‘enhanced’ experience for something specific like Git or a specific for

Yes. I couldn’t get comfortable with Guile for Guix, but having touch PureScript, Haskell, OCaml, Nix feels at home (other than the need for dymanic types).

A lot of clients have OMEMO on by default now. You can’t enforce it for all clients & across the entire network tho as XMPP is a ‘simple’ protocol without a let of bells & whistles meant to be eXtended like OMEMO/OTR/PGP b

Like when Biden said COVID vaccines for all Americans & then the health minister or whatever had to walk it back clarifying that that doesn’t apply to those taxpayers living abroad.

Almost none of the “free” or affordable options work the minute you put in an international address. Uncle Sam is one of the rare cases of taxing its citizens abroad, but everything about getting taxed abroad is more complicated.
