I swear... this temporary stop-gap library is the one thing people depend on me for. It's probably up to me to make the complete library it's intended to wait out for.

Replying to cabebe1a...

RSS is one of the few shining beacons of what XML can do, and many sites still offer RSS feeds, so it's still relevant, while JSON Feeds are quite new.

Found a Glassdoor listing for #Beeper where the website linked is Russian. It goes to www.te-ex.ru but that eventually redirects to voxys.ru.

I'm just paging through Glassdoor's frontend engineer jobs and 90%+ of them are AI or Web3.

No thanks, I'm not getting involved in that. Even from a financial standpoint, I stand to lose from that.

nostr:npub12v8xap3a6zrld8n5e6epmpypfzaflz08m6dghz99f8qy46xequnsx59s3k People have been gullible about VC backed companies and companies in general for far too long. More people are seeing the problems there now, more people are pushing back, but it'll be a long time if ever until anything meaningful comes out of it. So people will keep (blindly) trusting and relying on VC backed companies for years to come.

If anyone's wondering, this is the first productive work I've done with a local, configured "for development" copy of (Neo)vim. I've been trying to get somewhat comfortable with it while working on Squirrel Maps and I've used Vim remotely on my servers before, too ("for sysadmin").

If by any chance anyone's using my Upgrade script, you can now use it to install and update Neovide with `sudo upgrade neovide`.

To add just the Neovide upgrade: `wget https://codeberg.org/bleonard252/containers/raw/branch/main/development/upgrade/upgrades.d/neovide.zsh -O /usr/local/share/upgrades.d/neovide.zsh`

(you may need to create `/usr/local/share/upgrades.d` first)

Alternatively: `sudo upgrade self --bleeding-edge`

Updated Neovide. I should probably write an Upgrade script for Neovide (although I feel like I already have it but don't remember). It hasn't hung yet, but the toolbar is now dark gray instead of glaring white, which is a huge step up. 0.11.0 apparently fixed some Wayland bugs which should definitely improve my experience, as I'm on Wayland.

I can't quite tell but it looks like DartLS has hung up either Neovim or Neovide. The clock is behind (I took this at 19:33, the clock is hung at 19:27...) and it's not responding.

I should make sure Neovide is up to date.

That and there's Google's homepage news (on Chrome and the Google app iirc). I used to use that, back when it was Google Now and Discover, up until they removed it from my home screen.

nostr:npub18hdtxw4fy7wyksk5ryskdksq2w9d2fqwd5htkkazeazeh26fmz0srkkf64 Seems less of "not placing value on the community" as much as the code (or their exclusive hosting of it) is what's making them money. Companies who only sell support don't make a lot of money, except for Red Hat, and evidently it wasn't enough for them either.

Related question: does the MPL still apply to older versions of the software and source code with which it was bundled, or does this somehow retroactively affect the old code?

nostr:npub1jfg5t8z27kg2h4enq074ccmtlnq3txjh7drr9r6zq03qpgl25lpskhsmjn to be fair, you could run it inside of emacs, probably 😏️

nostr:npub1rcpwa5x83wlpldx2us9rfq3k8hn9yzy9sqtv7pfy05d9dd5k0vnq9ljrz8 See -- that's where getting my information from the people using it gets me in trouble. Personally I wouldn't consider that license anyway. But knowing it blocks or at least discourages this kind of thing is enough to stay away from it. (I guess the one advantage is, it's better than if it were all just a black box of mystery?)

Just discovered #Lazyvim (a #Neovim config)... It looks like it has the file sidebar I like out of the box, completions working (how the hell?!), super fancy notification boxes (ehh) and floating command line, and it was dead simple to install. Now to get into configuring it (change the theme, font size, put the command bar near the bottom, etc), and hell let's start using it for something!

All this talk against the Business Source License, which from my understanding is "FOSS" except that other people can't make money off of your work (so technically not free or open source software). That makes sense to me. If my code weren't on Codeberg which is strict on these things, I'd have adopted a similar license a while ago. AGPL will work well enough until I can change them.

Another thing I'd need to not use a browser: a good #shopping program. I've been thinking of making a Flutter app for this (and call it Tangerine), but the challenges with that are clear. Without the mobile-only native hooks (that sometimes aren't even native themselves!) I might have to resort to breaking TOS to pull it off...
