What are the alternatives to VS Code and Jetbrains' IDEs?

I'm asking because I don't like Jetbrains' push for AI and don't want to switch to Code.

Day 36 of #100DaysOfRust

Oh well, now I've moved on from "Hello, world!" in #development with #Rust to a simple form #web page. In that sense I've learned a lot, although very slowly, because I'm not mentally fit today. I still learn a lot every time I do the #RustLang. Well, then I'll configure the #Helix editor first so that I like it and it's easy for me to use 🧬🦀

Why do we call developed countries „developed“?

If they still need to grow indefinitely, why are they „developed“?

Shouldn’t we call them „insatiable“ countries instead?

For several months now I've been the only one left working on a project at work and for several months deployments issues on this project have increased. Coincidence? I think not. Since I'm the only one left programming, there hasn't been any meaningful code review for a few months either. It's not enough to have another pair of eyeballs looking at your code if they aren't familiar with it.

Still feels bad to have end users bear the brunt of this though.

Pulsar logo and name, with text that reads, a new text editor.


Oh look, Google being Google.

(In case you were thinking of learning/using Go, I’d say skip it. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Unless you like telemetry by default in your programming languages and tools, that is. In fact, just don’t touch anything tainted by Google if you can help it.)

I've had to install #npm on #Windows to fix a security vulnerability in a #Javascript library we're using in #Friendica, I feel dirty now.

Patiently waiting for the German side of the #Friendica #Development team to wake up to this #Git nonsense.

New contributor spotlight


A few weeks ago, I published a call for help to work on Friendica.

Since then, two people have distinguished themselves, @Marek Bachmann :friendica: and @Grischa. Both of them picked a small feature of Friendica and took on themselves to improve it.

Ok, they kind of picked the same feature (the display of images in posts) and now their respective work is interfering with each others on the RC branch, but STILL.

I've now marked several issues as Junior Jobs, many of which don't even necessitate to know PHP to fix. It's time for you to step in and be the hero!

Give Up #GitHub: The Time Has Come!

Specifically, we at Software Freedom Conservancy have been actively communicating with #Microsoft and their GitHub subsidiary about our concerns with “Copilot” since they first launched it almost exactly a year ago. Our initial video chat call (in July 2021) with Microsoft and GitHub representatives resulted in several questions which they said they could not answer at that time, but would “answer soon”. After six months of no response, Bradley published his essay, If Software is My #Copilot, Who Programmed My Software? — which raised these questions publicly. Still, GitHub did not answer our #questions.

@cwebber
This has been said about #AP on a different network (by a person I consider to be smart):

"There are common algorithmic and cryptographic tricks these days that are worth their weight […] AP doesn't have anything that didn't widely exist in 1992. It's like the i386 of messaging protocols."

So there's a super interesting (IMO) thread on birdsite where Scott Hanselman asks younger/newer devs whether or not they enjoy diving deep into low level code or if that's just something we olds do. Overwhelming response?

"Yup. It's for olds".

I have so many feels about this. On the one hand, it makes me sad. On the other, maybe it's an understandable evolution of the field since we're just freaking DROWNING in architectural complexity?

On the other, what does it mean if we have an up and coming generation of developers who not only don't know how but don't WANT to know how to pull back the curtain and dive deep?

Friendica Directory version 2.3.1 released


This update fixes a critical bug preventing normal profile/server probe that made displayed profile number plummet since version 2.3.0.

#Friendica #Development


Friendica Directory 2.3.0 Released


I just pushed version 2.3.0 of #Friendica Directory.

This release notably adds back support for the zrl query parameter that allows a directory user coming from a Friendica node to be automatically authenticated with remote nodes to make remote follow seamless.

This was a legacy directory feature that had been missing from the new directory ever since it's been initially released.

As usual, please report bugs and feature requests at https://github.com/friendica/friendica-directory/issues where I'll safely ignore them for several months before suddenly take care of one of them during an all-nighter coding frenzy!

Theming4Friendica Forum




I created the "Theming4Friendica" Forum https://horche.demkontinuum.de/profile/theming4friendica as a place where people can discuss the themes, bring in new ideas, announce the development of new themes and colorings of existing themes and everything all around theming.

Please join in, even if you are only interested to read about it.
I will be very happy to welcome you there 🌻😎
