I’m glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate the kind words.
Feel free to do so!

I’d say fsnotify is the least interesting part

Spectacle OCR is fantastic news. That is really going to simplify one of my current workflows.

It’s Lemmy.

I have used and enjoyed lawnchair for the past year. It’s quite minimal and I’ve found it very stable.

This should have been posted in programming.dev/c/meta. I’m leaving it up here as the question has been answered.

I’m a bit less extreme about it than many here. But, in short, back when Reddit made sweeping API changes it immediately gave me ‘the ick’ and so I sought less centralised platforms. Lemmy is the closest thing I’ve found to people just hosting their own message boards like back in the early internet.

I’m a big fan of decentralized platforms and I love the concept of ActivityPub.

That said, I still use Reddit and have recently started to really enjoy BlueSky, so I’m not militantly against the corporate platforms or anything.

Finally, I just like the natural selection things like Lemmy and Mastodon have for those who are naturally more techy and nerdy.

I can totally see how it could be read like that!

Five-a-side is a specific format of football (soccer), aimed at more casual play with a much lower bar to skill level. Outside of five-a-side leagues (which do exist), it’s rarely played with fixed teams and often ran in a more “pick up group” fashion.

Five-a-side football (soccer). I’m not a sporty person, but started going with a local group a few years ago and have reaped the benefits of doing some intensive team exercise once per week. I go with a bunch of guys way older than I am, and it’s amazing how fit and healthy they are compared to the average person I meet of their age. I certainly plan to keep this up so long an injury doesn’t prevent me.

You know, I wish I could enjoy IRC - or chatrooms in general. But I just struggle with them. Forums and their ilk, I get. I check in on them and see what’s been posted since I last visited, and reply to anything that motivates me to do so. Perhaps I’ll even throw a post up myself once in a while.

But with IRC, Matrix, Discord, etc, I just feel like I only ever enter in the middle of an existing conversation. It’s fine on very small rooms where it’s almost analagous to a forum because there’s little enough conversation going on that it remains mostly asynchronous. But larger chatrooms are just a wall of flowing conversation that I struggle to keep up with, or find an entry point.

Anyway - to answer the actual question, I use something called “The Lounge” which I host on my VPS. I like it because it remains online even when I am not, so I can atleast view some of the history of any conversation I do stumble across when I go on IRC. I typically just use the web client that comes with it.

I really like Nushell. I would not run it as a daily driver currently, as it mostly doesn’t win me over from Fish, feature-wise, but I love having it available for anything CLI date pipeline work I need to do.

Love this. Always interesting to see novel ways of querying data in the terminal, and I agree that jq’s syntax is difficult to remember.

I actually prefer nu(shell) for this though. On the lobste.rs thread for this blog, a user shared this:

| get license.key -i
| uniq --count
| rename license

This outputs the following:

╭───┬──────────────┬───────╮
│ # │    license   │ count │
├───┼──────────────┼───────┤
│ 0 │ bsd-3-clause │    23 │
│ 1 │ apache-2.0   │     5 │
│ 2 │              │     2 │

I like Konsole.

It comes with KDE, supports tabs, themes, and loads very fast.

I don’t really need more from a terminal than that. When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij (previously I used tmux).

Goodness, what a choice to make. They are both excellent, and you should of course read both. Personally, I would start with Hyperion.

A seemingly unpopular opinion, but Christian Bale’s Batman is my favourite live action version of the character.

The same reason a lot of companies support a community edition. It means that people can use, learn and become experienced with the product without forking over a tonne of money.

This results in a larger number of developers, add-ons and community surrounding the product.

This makes it a more appealing product for companies looking to build a business using it.

It’s the same reason you can use AWS for free, get some JetBrains products for free and often find community editions for similar products to Magento.

Yes. I get the idea, because federating with them is the “negative” option, but honestly it’s just confusing and overly opinionated for an infographic.

Fair enough. And I’m sure the people who volunteered were probably thrilled to be involved with the project, it really is a brilliant piece of work.
