That sounds very interesting, do you remember the name or the author?

The TV UI is horrible and has negative development: Less features and more bugs every release.

Do you want to go to a video’s channel? Well, that depends on where you are:

• Go to Home.

• Long-press on a video.

• Press “Go to channel”.

• Go to Subscriptions.

• Long-press on a video.

• Fewer options because fuck you.

• Start the video, press down, up, right, select.

• Oh, it was a short video? You fell into the trap! Down goes to another video. Go back, select the video again, press right, right, select.

And that’s just one example.

I like the ideas behind PRQL, although I’ve never used it in an actual project. It compiles down to SQL but has a clearer model based on pipeline and a much better suntax.

Malloy is a similar project but I haven’t look into it yet.

My hot take: Vi, make and C would have gone the way of COBOL a long time ago if it wasn’t for a lot of programmers thinking “my tools are more difficult to use, hence I’m a better programmer”.

Look up the Everburn Blade in Baldur’s Gate 3.

REMEMBER US! REMEMBER THAT WE ONCE LIVED!

I run my own Synapse server with bridges to WhatsApp and Telegram, along with a few other services, using Yunohost. I haven’t observed any huge resource usage, and I like the centralized management/update. One possible downside is that you won’t get the latest versions immediately, the Yunohost maintainers take time to test those. I prefer the stability that gives me but if you want to be on the edge a docker setup will be better.

Do you all seriously edit text files directly‽

I use hexedit for all my programming, that way I can see my text’s source code. It allows things that are impossible with lesser editors, like differentiate l and 1. Newer versions even provide a “live view” that shows your text’s output right beside its source, updated almost instantly. I don’t personally use it as it consumes a lot of resources but it’s a great help if you’re just starting out.

I seriously doubt you’ll be able to see Instagram content from any other app. At most, they’ll federate Threads content. But more probably they’ll only federate inwards: Threads users will be able to follow anyone on the Fediverse, no one outside will get to see anything from inside.

Yes, that’s the plan. The update from 9 to 10 was really easy, the only problem I got was some Python apps which needed a manual pip refresh, but the instructions were all there.

AFAIK, Yunohost on bookworm is already in testing but it’ll be released when the devs feel the update is working correctly.
