Previously in bash & sed, in case anyone else was curious.

The total functional component was previously 25 lines long. Personally I would consider this different enough to be an entirely different project, but I guess this is a good way for the developer to avoid being asked to maintain something they’re not interested in.

This nonsense is why I’ve never set my XDG_HOME_DIRS to their actual values. A convenient button in file browsers isn’t worth the intrusion.

The deal breaker feature I’ve been waiting for is the ability to play daily podcasts first then serialised podcasts in order. I have this with Podcast Addict and it means I virtually never have to touch the app itself.

It hits the “tethered network services” anti-feature which is hidden by default in F-droid.

It’s a little lower in the article

• Alternative Hosting Services:

  • CodeBerg
  • SourceHut

• Self-Host (or join a group that self-hosts). A few options:

  • Gitea
  • GitLab Community Edition (note, the GitLab Enterprise Edition, which >is provided to the public on gitlab.com, is (like GitHub) >trade-secret, proprietary, vendor-lock-in software)
  • SourceHut

I worked on software at one point that had at it’s core a number of “modes” that it switched between. It was, at the time, in the process of migrating from enums and switch/case trees to an inheritance based system.

In practice this meant there was a single instance of “Mode” for each mode which used pointer equality to switch/case on modes like an enum.

To add a new mode (that did nothing) I think I had to change about 6 different places.

Two of the “questions” are just statements

Unpaid Open Source developers will have trouble fulfilling increasing government requirements, for example the EU Cyber Security Act.

Emerging companies like Tidelift, which pay developers, will solve the current problems of Open Source.

Open Source Software follows the Open Source Definition, while Free Software follows the Free Software Definition.

They have heavy overlap, one is not a subset of the other, and they are similarly restrictive, just shepherded by different groups. I’m sure there are licences that satisfy one but not the other, but they would have to be few and far between; just reading through each it’s not obvious how one could satisfy only one definition.

Scrum that’s not adapted to your needs isn’t scrum.

Can you just drop to assembly for what you want to do? Gnu compilers even have inline assembly, but with any compiler you should at least be able to built a separate, assembly, object file.

I use fWallet for my plane tickets

While that is a definition that’s used by some, I would argue The OSI’s Open Source Definition is more widely used within the field

There are a few PCB drones out there.

Most PCBs, even really cheap ones, are made from FR-4, which is a very robust fibreglass. It’s would be a pretty decent choice for drone components in general.

Not drones, but Carl Bugeja on YouTube makes some fascinating machines almost entirely out of PCBs (although he uses a lot of flex PCBs, not just FR-4).

How is SystemD a Microsoft product?

FYI Thunderbird now natively supports PGP (and possibly WKD?) without the need for Enigmail.

Podcast Addict I really want to use AntennaPod, but I can’t do without priority podcasts.

Also Feedly. Feeder (FOSS) is so chose, but doesn’t allow different sorts for different feeds.

Header files aren’t part of the C++ language at all.

Also mandatory “C++/C is not a language”

Member functions that are defined within a class definition are implicitly inline

I haven’t played with this too much, but I’m reasonably confident you only need an X11 and a Wayland implementation. Mplayer / mpv can play on “rootwin” on X11. For Wayland I think it’s a layer.

Unfortunately missing one dealbreaker feature for me: priority podcasts.

Other than that it is absolutely the best app I’ve found
