(Not so?) hot take: user interfaces should not show event times using vague relative times like "11 hours ago" (I am looking at you, GitHub, but you're not alone) because it's a pain to compare with times of other events from my mail, chat, whatever.No, showing the absolute time in a tooltip is *not* good enough.

@ThTh @kde @kdedude if you don't use kmail, you can just uninstall it, no?

Salut Masto, le club chorale du collège de mon fils participe à un concours de chant pour lutter contre les cancers de l'enfant. Si vous avez 2 mn pour aller écouter et voter pour leur hymne, il serait très content :). Ça se passe ici : https://concours.2500voix.org/#videos, c'est le collège Rosa Bonheur (tout en bas de la page).

Clyde knows how to automatically fetch new package versions for apps hosted on GitHub and GitLab, but since I don't want this project to be GitHub or GitLab only, I am adding a JavaScript based fetcher!https://github.com/agateau/clyde/pull/170

I have mentioned it several times here or in status updates, but here is an "official" introduction of Clyde: a cross-platform package manager for pre-built applications.https://agateau.com/2023/introducing-clyde/

Interesting article from Kent Beck about TDD.https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/canon-tddI like the idea of writing a list of test scenarios before implementing them. This way tests sound more like specifications that are not out of touch with reality.I also like that it does not mention anything about the type of tests, as I find it more useful to write integration tests for new features than a gazillion unit tests.

@maco Ah, I actually meant functional, not integration tests.But I think it depends on the type of software, if you have to mock a lot of components to test your code I can see how writing functional or integration tests up front is not practical.

Plugged my Amiga 500 to the TV yesterday evening and had a great time with my 14 y/o son! Now I need to find a proper space for it in the house (and replace the 512 KB extension, which is long dead)

So you have a large phone and/or large hands and can't easily hit Pixel Wheels buttons?Fear not, the upcoming zoom feature let's you make those tiny buttons bigger!#GameDev

@neauoire I wrote code like the first one when I learned basic (there was no other choice...) nowadays I would pick the one on the right as I think it's easier to scan the line numbers if they are in one column.

@ariadne Here is mine: KDE Konqi, sadly he lost his left eye, probably after a difficult debugging session.

@Lana are we talking about free-fall airdrops or does the subject gets a parachute? It would be good to test both approaches for completeness.
