Is it possible to run the android app on Linux somehow? Hmm…

Truly boring article that only talks about old news like the Epic lawsuit and RCS support

Shout-out to the Flutter-Dart stack that Google made. Neither are outstanding, but Flutter compiles to native code for every platform including mobile and web. This is way more convenient than React Native (which funny enough doesn’t really work on web). Dart is a much saner lang than JS and the UI framework is much saner than React. Dependency management is fast and easy without NPM and webpack trash. So for my recent project I embedded a flutter app inside a static website, and can also have it run native on desktop or wherever. The only real downsides are an extra 1.5mb load for the dart runtime stuff, and some need to fiddle with platform specific issues and configs. Upside is I need neither xcode nor node

Well configuring NeoVim is basically game development / modding. But yeah it’s built as an embedded mostly single thread thing so. I also used it for AwesomeWM many years ago, whole thing was lua. I do think it’s one of the most elegant languages ever designed, with it’s very simple table/metatable mechanics

I played this as a child it was brutal

I just installed Arch with Wayland and Pipewire & my Chromebook went from barely usable and laggy w/ a Linux VM in it — to running with full fps animations and somehow 3x as many chrome tabs. Also holy shit Pipewire, I didn’t know about this, but Linux has finally and conclusively fixed audio/video routing & is now best in class

So yeah fuck ChromeOS w/ it’s shitty outdated Linux sandbox

Ok but that shit with Nvidia is they fault

I’m pretty sure that government software always blows because they think software can be written according to a fixed schedule and budget

It’s tempting to think it’s like building a house, and if you have the blueprints & wood, it’ll just be fast and easy. Everything will go on schedule

But no, in software, the “wood” is always shape shifting, the land you’re building on is shape shifting, some dude in Romania is tryna break in, and the blueprints forgot that you also need plumbing and electric lines

He’s not actually, and if you read it, he warns that assigning meaning to meaninglessness is a fallacy. People feel bad because there’s no meaning but then that’s applying meaning to it. Transcendence of meaning frees you from it entirely and leads to Buddhism, which also embraced “emptiness” at the core of reality

My local coffee shop recently gave me 15$ off just as a loyalty promo

Whoever collected this data is a real one

Thanos snap those nerds straight to arch

Maybe you can just get Midjourney to make you a picture like this and call it a day?

Water - swim

Air - fly

Space - ?? fly

Ground - dig?

Plasma - liquefy?

Git provides subtree (and submodules) which enable this with some planning

Uh obviously still git, which is used as a centralized repo 99% of the time. Why does this post read like it’s AI generated?

Installing Ubuntu is so easy a raccoon could accidentally accomplish it while bumping into a keyboard in a trash bin

Oh it's just an over complicated pile of low quality stuff. Still substantially behind XMPP, which was a fine solution. Somehow still behind IRCv3 in terms of raw usability and apps too. IRCv3 is a new spec that made a lot of improvements

I investigated all three in depth and decided IRCv3 is what I want to use for my server / apps. I even run a public web client that acts like Discord. IRC has the bigger communities still

If you really care about encryption, maybe there's a reason you'd do something different, but I just want private chat servers with good UX

I think it's super based. All these clowns talking about open source while using Discord and GitHub (yes, that's me included). You want to submit a bug report to Git itself? Well, you gotta send a bug report to the mailing list. Then some guy will be like "oh shit can you fix it also?" and I'm like "haha no" so the dude submits a fix himselg within 4 hours, and obtains the raging hard boner of internet developer clout

Great system, pgp keys are actually useful. And everyone knows you have to be at least an 8/10 in handsomeness to be running an IRC server. Also, Matrix is trash, I'm serious, modern IRC is cool
