@h5e @Rasp I think it is best when the program provides keybinds specifically intended for either use case, so that there's simply no ambiguity or undesired default behavior to be had. -

@Di4na I'm not sure why Free Software activists are presumed not to be part of this ecosystem. -

@scott_guertin @georgetakei @freemo To give an analogy for the high-effort aspect: Consuming 3g of caffeine in a 7 day week is relatively safe. Consuming it in the span of 5 minutes will get you hospitalized. -

@scott_guertin @georgetakei @freemo Salaried employees have some very specific legal requirements that they have to accept, anything beyond that is foolishly giving away one's life to an employer that will never return such a favor. -

Sometimes I see projects with massive code problems that I feel I should rewrite in Common Lisp for sanity's sake.
But then I come across the problem of them either using some C cryptographic library or worse, having homebrewed something.
I am not a cryptographer nor any sort of relevant expert, so even discounting for the side-channel related things difficult to address in CL (e.g. timing attacks), I still don't feel confident at all even attempting to reimplement that. -

@g4dbn @drahardja What puzzles me is why they thought it was a good idea to micro-optimize time-keeping in the first place.
Or considering just how absurdly finnicky time gets when one gets into the depths of it, why they improvised something instead of using one of the standards by folks who bothered to try and deal with all the edgecases & annoyances. -

@rl_dane @emilygorcenski @crashglasshouses > Titlebar contrast as an indicator of focus: Gone, so that the titlebars are always dark and look cool. Sorry if you've relied on that subtle interface hint for the past 35 years.
Huh, I've been using keyboard-driven stuff long enough I didn't notice the disappearance of mouse-hover focus-notification in so many GUI toolkits.
That does seem like a regression to me. -

@emilygorcenski @crashglasshouses @rl_dane Oh yeah, the current trend of just making everything into a custom special UI snowflake just makes discoverability and quick usability a mess. -

Any #SelfHosted #forge with a small number of dependencies & implemented in memory-safe language my followers or anyone else would recommend?
Forejo has a rather nasty amount of dependencies. Sourcehut also has more than I'd like. -

Is anyone even working on some legitimate use of blockchains or is it all just cryptocurrency grifts at this point?
It's annoying to read some project blurb talking about resilient distributed projects and then when I read ahead it's all just cryptocurrency. -

@gnomicutterance @leyrer @clacke @erebion It's almost like monopolists shouldn't be allowed to run commercial email services.
