    I see #FOSS nerds have found another app to scream at for introducing anonymized telemetry

    @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.

    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

    @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.

    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.

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

    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 🤷‍♂️

    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.

    #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.

    Absent-mindedly ran my Restic backup service on a fresh boot which created an empty snapshot on the server and freaked me out, thankfully past me was smarter than this and I was keeping multiple snapshots. The data was salvaged!

    @kiranrao I wish I had something reassuring to say but mine literally went from working perfectly fine to being completely dead in the span of two hours that I spent booted into Windows off a separate SSD

    I must admit it is quite annoying to discover that SSDs just die randomly without warning at 12 AM because my Linux drive that was working perfectly fine **TWO HOURS AGO** is no longer detected by my motherboard.

    @sanchayan if you check your server's logs you'll probably find a ton of AI crawlers, I was having the same problem from bad bots triggering tons of archive creations by scraping that URL from repository pages and trying to download it. Haven't faced this since I set up a redirect matcher on their user agents.

    @nileane I feel glad for having gotten my Pixel 8 right before the AI tsunami hit Google in full force. I'll be riding out those 7 years of software support to their very end and hopefully come out at the other end of this ridiculous bubble.

    @mwl FWIW this only applies to new patrons from after the changes go into effect, your existing patrons will continue to be charged at their current rate. Still recommended to simply cut out Apple if possible.

    @hossainkhan The Medium interface is bad in more ways than one, and their push to make all content require memberships to view only serves to make otherwise free content harder to access. It also prevents archival and does not let authors actually own their content.

    Who in their right mind thought this is a good fucking idea?? Google PLEASE wake the fuck up

    The Google Play Store app with the search bar moved from its usual position in the top app bar to now being the central item in the bottom navigation. There is a coach mark titled "Meet the Search tab" that is supposed to make me feel there was actual thought behind this stupid change.

    The @restic backups I set up last week are saving my ass already: A misbehaving #Minecraft mod caused corruption in the save file but I was able to restore a backup from minutes before I started playing today so I only lost 30 minutes of progress rather than days.
