Oh dear god #AprilCools is basically here and I haven't even started on my post yet
Public · 2025-03-30 20:11+00:00 Public · 2025-03-30 20:06+00:00 @nileane Eefo my beloved :androidPetPet:
Public · 2025-03-30 06:34+00:00 @svenjacobs I don't think the same motivations that apply for Android also reflect on the other projects, the delay is mostly in just not having maintainers dedicated to the public repos. I know that the FirebaseUI for Android project has a single maintainer who works on it very infrequently which explains why it has showstopper bugs going back years.
Public · 2025-03-29 08:03+00:00 @kiranrao @funkyidol Framework ships as a Linux-first complete package, you're not gonna have the same experience with most other laptops or custom built PCs
Public · 2025-03-28 20:34+00:00 The absolute state of Bluetooth on Linux is that it was faster and easier for me to connect my Xbox controller to an Android phone and use Steam Link to play games than directly connect the controller to the desktop via Bluetooth.
Public · 2025-03-28 09:23+00:00 @Kiolk You are free to have an opinion, and I'm free to inform you that it's not based on facts.
Most of Android was already developed privately. This change makes no impact on how Huawei would approach their development processes. Android is not a loss leader business and does not need to resort to relicensing to recoup money by going closed source. Open source licenses don't dictate that development happens in public, and even GNU used to only publish release sources once upon a time.
Public · 2025-03-28 08:44+00:00 @Kiolk OEMs have full access to the internal branch, you're just making up pointless theories about a completely normal change in processes.
Public · 2025-03-26 18:29+00:00 @GeePawHill you can checkout an arbitrary commit that is not the top of a branch to enter a detached HEAD state, in that situation you do not have a current branch since the checked out state does not point to one.
Public · 2025-03-22 19:01+00:00 I go to bed with the weather being very hot and stuffy, and in the morning I wake up and sneeze for an hour from the cold I caught overnight. What is this bullshit weather
Public · 2025-03-20 08:29+00:00 @ratik Not really, but the people who are switching are looking for a way to replicate the Arc UI and you're not exactly spoiled for choice on that front. I also doubt Zen's background is that well known given the current hype cycle propping it up in the face of Arc becoming effectively abandonware.
Public · 2025-03-19 07:02+00:00 I'm very generous about what I'll put up with but Catcher In The Rye really just broke me, what an unreadable pile of garbage. Excited to start reading The Vegetarian tomorrow instead and forget I ever tried to read that assault against the senses
Public · 2025-03-17 08:09+00:00 Follow-up to last week's post about my migration to #Obsidian, documenting how I tackled converting the existing notes in my Logseq graph to leverage Obsidian's features.

Public · 2025-03-16 13:57+00:00 @cadey selecting and acquiring the hardware has been personally quite daunting for me so I'd appreciate hearing about how you go about doing it. The software bits of running a homelab are heavily documented so I don't have anything particular in mind.
Public · 2025-03-16 12:04+00:00 @IzzyOnDroid no worries, I wasn't able to finish my own release checklist which is why I didn't ping you again :D
I'll file an issue on your repo in a bit, thanks!
Public · 2025-03-15 09:37+00:00 I love how #GitHub's bill payment page ignores your theme preference to always use the default light one almost like "here's a flashbang, we need you awake for this one chief"
Public · 2025-03-14 19:22+00:00 Looks like the Google tradition of replacing barely usable things with completely unusable ones is continuing
Public · 2025-03-14 09:57+00:00 Against all odds I've actually made progress on implementing #ActivityPub for my blog, following @blog's impeccable guide on the subject: https://maho.dev/2024/02/a-guide-to-implement-activitypub-in-a-static-site-or-any-website/
Public · 2025-03-13 07:50+00:00 Straight out of an Onion headline
Public · 2025-03-13 06:18+00:00 This ended up being a regression in https://github.com/nix-community/cache-nix-action/ which got reported and resolved in the time since yesterday when I first ran into it
Public · 2025-03-12 06:34+00:00 I don't have the spoons for this today so it's going to the deal with it tomorrow pile
Public · 2025-03-12 06:30+00:00 Lovely, managed to run into a bug with my #Nix projects that only reproduces in CI and blocks all these automatic dependency updates :thisIsFine:
Public · 2025-03-11 13:52+00:00 Hey @IzzyOnDroid, is there some documentation on how to opt into supplying custom build flavors to your repo and enabling reproducible builds? I'm working on a new release for Claw (https://github.com/msfjarvis/compose-lobsters) and wanted to prepare a Sentry-free build variant for users of your repo.
Public · 2025-03-10 13:16+00:00 Ran into an issue with how the `fetch.pruneTags` option in #Git interacts with long-running forks that don't keep tags synced with upstream, added a note about it to my GIt grab bag post.
Public · 2025-03-10 05:58+00:00 Has any new #Git client popped up for Android since MGit? It's been working fine so far but it's unmaintained and I was hoping to simplify my personal use case of doing basic push and pull operations on my #Obsidian vault without the baggage of a feature complete Git client.
Public · 2025-03-10 04:12+00:00 @hisham_hm I've completely given up on the movies but I find most of the Disney+ TV rather good so that's the extent of my MCU involvement
Public · 2025-03-09 11:35+00:00 #Logseq finally got removed from #Nixpkgs for carrying around an extremely outdated version of Electron, which was just enough motivation for me to get off the clunky Logseq apps and onto #Obsidian. I wrote a short post describing the changes I made to facilitate the transition, and stuff I still need to figure out.

Public · 2025-03-06 16:20+00:00 @mattstratton Congrats!
Public · 2025-03-05 15:51+00:00 @sandro I honestly just wasn't aware that the thunderbird derivation is the ESR build, I would totally be in support of thunderbird-latest going away and thunderbird-esr being introduced instead.
Public · 2025-03-05 13:15+00:00 @shinmera the leftist with no politics huh
Public · 2025-03-05 10:52+00:00 I might have to move soon so setting up a proper home server is even more important now. Off to find a cheap OptiPlex online...
Public · 2025-03-05 08:55+00:00 Thanks to Tom Scott's newsletter for introducing me to the headline "Octopuses are punching fish in the face"

Public · 2025-03-05 08:02+00:00 Content warning: Money stress talk with some platform rants@JenJen argh, sorry for the false hope :(
Public · 2025-03-04 21:46+00:00 @romainguy Congratulations on a great run and for wherever life takes you next!
Public · 2025-03-04 20:51+00:00 TIL #Thunderbird actually does monthly releases now! On #NixOS these builds are available as the `thunderbird-latest` package and migration worked perfectly for me.
Public · 2025-03-04 12:29+00:00 The consequences of disabling automatic garbage collection on #NixOS
`181396 store paths deleted, 204871.37 MiB freed`

Public · 2025-03-04 10:09+00:00 I wish people would stop coming to me with ChatGPT hallucinated slop every time I tell them a specific programming thing is not feasible
Public · 2025-03-03 12:50+00:00 Content warning: Money stress talk with some platform rants@JenJen I came across this support form following the links on their website, are they unresponsive here? Though it feels pretty shitty that I had to click through 4-5 links to get to some semblance of a contact option, I'm sorry they're holding up your hard-earned money.
Public · 2025-03-03 09:07+00:00 @danderson yeah the smartphone ecosystem is bleak. I mostly fell into the cycle of buying the latest Pixel as the least worst option when the support period for my current one ended and it's served me well enough till my Pixel 8 purchase last year. Thankfully this one has six years of guaranteed security updates so hopefully I can ride out the whole "AI-everything" hype cycle and have something actually usable to buy at the end of that.
Public · 2025-03-02 16:53+00:00 @shinmera I am blaming Hollywood for that one
Public · 2025-03-02 08:13+00:00 @jernej yeah I quite hated the trouble of having to find AndroidX dependency versions during development so I ended up writing a little CLI tool to retrieve it since I always have a terminal up with my IDE. Maybe some day I'll be motivated to create an IntelliJ plugin like this as well...
Public · 2025-03-02 08:06+00:00 Spammed a bit over on @msfjarvis@bookwyrm.social thanks to a new set of books arriving from my sister right as I finished reading this.
The reading goal of 24 books this year should be extremely attainable at my current pace which is nice
