1. @b0rk Every terminal having a seemingly different way of specifying a base16 color scheme has been quite a pain whenever I wanted to try something different, though if you use a popular enough scheme chances are someone's already done the hard work.

  2. I feel kinda bad for letting my #blog rot for long periods of time over a made up baseline of 'quality', so beginning tomorrow I'll start posting the TIL-style notes in my Logseq journals as short entries on there so they can exist somewhere public. No better time to follow the #RSS feed ;D

  3. @ybinnenweg I'm having trouble pulling up exact numbers but the project has received almost no external contributions in the past 2 years, so there isn't anybody I would feel comfortable handing over the project to at this point. The only real concern I have is what to do about the domain and the money sitting in the OpenCollective.

  4. Working on the Password Store Android client has reached a point where it's simply too overwhelming to look at the issue tracker. I think it might be time for me to simply give up on it and archive the repository.

    Not being able to get myself to make a release in over 3 years is probably enough of a sign that I'm no longer capable or invested enough in the project.

  5. Made it to Bangalore, and as usual the weather is just wet enough to be an annoyance.

  6. @shinmera I think I have been flashbanged by words

  7. @david_chisnall asked a friend who's been working on Android OS level stuff for a few years and they said it should be possible to hack this by connecting the USB-C cable first to the Mac and then to your phone.

  8. @misty FWIW I've been quite happy since I ditched Dependabot for all my projects in favor of Renovate.

    The upstream is super responsive to issues and the app has a significantly larger list of supported package ecosystems.

  9. @cadey It's less invasive on Windows 10 and still extremely annoying, I cannot imagine how I'll survive when I actually migrate to Windows 11.

  10. @cariad AFAIK their previous system issued digital copies of physical books that they had access to through partner libraries, if the library had 5 copies then IA used to also lend it out to 5 people at a time. During COVID they changed that to remove this self-imposed limit which resulted in the current lawsuit. I can sympathize with why they thought this was a necessity with library access being limited by COVID lockdowns but it's just theft.

  11. @ratik That's odd, you should probably contact support and see if they can explain it.

    I have a "Associated developer accounts: Enrolled for 15% service fee" entry in my activity log.

  12. @ratik @gakisstylianos @ab @sasikanth can you guys check this for your accounts as well? Play Console on the web has an Activity Log option in the sidebar, set the filter to just be your developer account and change the time range to 4-5 years.

  13. Update on the #GooglePlay verification changes, Play Support tells me that I have monetization enabled so I have no recourse other than making a new account. I went back to check my activity log and it seems back in 2021 when I received the announcement about marking down the Play Store tax to 15%, I opted into it which automatically turned on monetization on my account and resulted in the current situation. I guess it's my fault then 🤷‍♂️

  14. TIL you can do an automatic #Git bisection if you have a script/command whose return code can reliably determine if a commit is good or bad. It's coming in pretty handy to try and isolate the #Nixpkgs change that causes glfw-wayland-minecraft to no longer build.

  15. #GooglePlay has started forcing a new account verification flow on developers and during the whole thing they've somehow managed to decide that I, as a publisher of exclusively free apps, make money on Google Play and thus need to doxx my full home address on every store listing of my apps.

    I've emailed their support team but I don't expect a resolution before the deadline on 31st October, so my Google Play publisher account might be disappearing in a couple months.
