I hope you code better than you spell, friend.

Sonobus

What a clever name!

I run Mattermost at home since several years, and now I am switching to Zulip.

Mattermost is also enshittifying itself and imposing limits like those that caused us to flee from Slack.

Zulip is (afaik) true FOSS without venture capital, and has no restrictions. It’s what we should habe done from the start.

Yeah but we pay way less for housing and health.

You se knowledgeable on this, so I hope you’ll allow me to ask this.

I don’t know anything about Discord, but I selfhost the Mattermost chat system for my family. They, too, are narrowing the free tier.

Can Matrix replace Mattermost for a family? Several separate “rooms” for various topics, plus 1-to-1 chats.

Correction #1: rich assholes don’t care.

Correction #2: rich assholes already diddle their own kids.

As for the rest of us, we are decent human beings.

Proper/healthy cooking. Sports.

So much this. If you’re in a hole, a big focus is to just get through the day. Every day you continue to exist, is a wonderful middle finger to the void. If a day is easy, then a week. This is progress worth celebrating. Celebrate yourself and your continued victory over the things that unsuccessfully tried to hold you back.

In that case, get out where people are. Best situation is to join a sports team or some other club based around an activity.

Perhaps you have some hobby or interest that you always wanted to do something about. Now is the time.

Or flip it upside down: check in your area (library? local newspaper?) to see what is going on in your area. Maybe somethings tickles your interest? If in doubt, check it out.

It is selfhosting when YOU set it up and CONTROL it.

Doesn’t matter what machine it runs on. Not everyone has the option of running a machine at home.

This release also brings you […] a new font face (“The-name-must-not-be-named” Sans) that improves reading legibility, especially for numbers and smaller text

What’s the story about that font name? I’m out of the loop.

Every printer for the past 20 years has used USB B

Maybe you have too many pancakes? Let me take care of some of those for you ❤️

Yes, we are.

The only good thing about it is that it isn’t the alternative: total nuclear annihilation. (Some days I wonder if that would be better)

I see myself as a project manager and executive producer. I know I don’t write that code, and I couldn’t even if I tried.

But I am skilled at directing and verifying, and this has allowed me to create (not code) a fairly complex WordPress plugin for course bookings with online card payment processing etc.

I have made a few manual tweaks here and there but that code is 98% Claude. And you know what? It works. That is good enough for me.

Oh man, you just got my hopes up long enough for me to finish reading that sentence. Sad sigh.

You are ice cold metal, my friend 🤘

Unpopular opinion: LCARS is utter garbage UI.

Sure it looks cool in the TV series, and its brand recognition is spectacular. But actually using it? Horrible.

Eurovision 2

Then use… a camera??
