I have some time to dabble today and mess around with something.I've decided to take a look at some other scripting languages I haven't really done something with yet, and do a quick little project like a persistent, encrypted key-value store, or a dice roller with preprogrammed combos.So... Poll?#ruby#lua #scripting #programming

Funny thing is, the courts are pissing everyone offThey turned off AA AND they decided to not release any loansSo you have angry Dems about inclusivity no longer being mandated, and angry Reps about having giant payments coming due _because their own court choices blocked the forgiveness plan_KekekekekekekWe live in the Hell we chose to create

The fact this is even remotely relatable is why Linux on the desktop has been a meme for two decades.

OOOOKAYQUESTION FOR YALL.... places to stick your code, that aren't Github.Yes, I know Gitlab. (eh)Codeberg. (preferably my new choice is hosted in the US)Sourcehut. (probably not)There's also Tildegit, and it's solid.What am I missing?I know there's a handful of different ones and I'm barely scratching the surface.

This is a real interesting article and some good commentary on it.I've had smells about Mozilla for years, but this Lunduke piece blows them outta the dang water if it's even _half_ true.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIfj0qFtb1Y

Lawl, is basically every #tox client dead?Here I was thinking "Oh that could be fun to look into"... and then I saw that multiple repos are either archived or have been inactive for years.RIP I suppose.

How cool is it that something like this exists,And at the same time,How out of this world is it that you can get step by step instructions and makefiles for pulling it down yourself, basically without regard to the virtualization platform it's on?That's one of the things about modern technology that I actually don't hate.https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity

I am at the point where my #pine64 #pinebookpro can more or less serve as a daily driver.Despite my often curmudgeoning, despite my griping, despite my nitpicking.I more or less developed an irrational vendetta against this machine,and I was compelled by nothing other than spite to get this damn thing to work how I wanted.I'm the boss, dangit. I'm the human. Work how I want you to, machine!And now it does.I use XFCE4, installed over #postmarketos, because I love #alpinelinux .8/10

So, first impressions of #gnome so far.. seeing as that's what this #NixOS install came with..I don't see why people are so polarized over it.Maybe I just don't tweak my settings or my computer enough. I really tend to use vanilla.As-is? To do what I want to do, which is browse and write code and do terminal things? It looks great, feels great, runs great.I don't really have any complaints. I'm straining to invent one just to be a balanced commentator, but none that matter come to mind.

Attention nerdlings.I have a #Pine64 #Pinebookpro .Does anybody have a #PineTab2 ?I'm strongly debating getting rid of an #ipad in favor of one.As soon as I get Anytype to compile on Arm64 I'd be golden.I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Tiny posts with larger thought I don't feel like blogging:the more I see it, the more I use it... the more I consider low-code as the way forward for most business processes.Mind you, I'm not saying technical processes. Lowcode doesn't play nice with IT architecture or highly available software distributed throughout an edge network.But if Cheryl needs something better than Excel to actively manage a list of approval requests and contacts, or Dave needs a simple dumb asset tracker? Sure.

I'm aware of the sins of Visual Basic.But at the same time, VB had something special.It allowed non-IT, non-technical SME's to cobble together their own processes that worked how they wanted.The potential of the democratization of business automation shouldn't be discounted.Bark at me for saying so..but if a senior manager comes to me and says "I wanna do ABC"and ABC really just means "I wanna auto-make a bigass spreadsheet"I'm pointing them to lowcode. Why waste precious dev time?

I've had people broach a topic on some business process they want to "improve," and by the end of that week one or two folks have put together an MVP using, say, Power Platform, and it does exactly what the customer wants.That's a very telling thing.That says to me that a lot of "processes" are not necessarily _simple_, but can be improved with _simple tools_.Why would I spend $300K on a full-stack in-house MVP when I can have one or two guys help a manager make a Power App in a month?
