@nikitonsky one of the reasons why I bought pragmata pro. there are 7 (? maybe more) styles of box drawing characters. every one aligned perfectly as yours

@nikitonsky What are your settings? 👀💦

@ZevEisenberg @nikitonsky I’ve become sonaccustomed to hunting in multiple sandwich / 3-dot menus to find what I want that this struck as normal first, like of course I should study and memorize the menu options behind these two icons which both appear to represent the same concept of settings.

@nikitonsky I've also seen the hamburger one somewhere in a vertical state recently, when the hamburger menu was opened 🥲

@nikitonsky Oh, you're using that ugly Dell 6K? How do you like it?

@nikitonsky There MUST be an official Apple-made mount for … like … 500 bucks or so? 😅

@nikitonsky what software do you use to use the iPhone as webcam ? Tested multiple but had reliability problems with all of them.

@nikitonsky Puzzle-driven UI.

@RadicalEdward

First world problems.

@RadicalEdward I "had" to learn Java at the university in 1999, years before it was open source. So the argument is moot.
I also had to learn a proprietary functional language: Miranda. And learn other proprietary stuff like MATLAB and Maple
Guess what stuff I still use.

@RadicalEdward@hackers.town "I wish for java to be open source!" monkey paw finger furls

@nikitonsky Calling the M1 mac old is wild to me, this thing is so fast and snappy.

@mathling on a good day, the interesting new package has self contained binary releases - do you feel lucky?

@mathling *checks to see if "zorbluck" domain name is available*

@nikitonsky at least there is documentation for it :D

@nikitonsky it's a long long int story ...

@nikitonsky long long man

@nikitonsky NT 3.something?

@nikitonsky Windows 3.x with its layout tweaked and customized with OSFrame

@nikitonsky This is a custom shell ("Calmira II", http://www.calmira.de/) for Win 3.1 that makes it look like Win 95, plus possibly some customisation from OSFrame. Some more info here: https://www.geocities.ws/cryptic_crab/windows31/shells/calmira.html

@nikitonsky Or "B"?

@nikitonsky how did you arrive at 1A as a viable option?

@nikitonsky Let me introduce you to Magnuson naming.

A is ann
B is bet
C is chris
D is dot
E is ernest
F is frost

11 is eleven
1A is annteen
A1 is annty one

@nikitonsky omg, why anyone might ever need this? also in any case you could write (* 100 1000 1000).

@nikitonsky I don’t think features are relevant for EDN’s lack of popularity

@nikitonsky Is it possible for you to share why do you think that complexity of EDN is a problem?
If it would be simpler it would be easier to use it?
Or
If it would be simpler it would be easier for tool to have it as internal format and thus drive more adoption?

@nikitonsky Maybe EDN would have a chance in the world if Clojure was made a web standard and baked in to every web browser.

@nikitonsky
Messaging: matrix with bridges to other networks (except imessage but who cares)

Social networks: mastodon with a bridge to bluesky (a bit sad for twitter)

Not pretty espectially the matrix part, but it works

@nikitonsky

You mean SMS?
The hack on mobile phone metadata layer which gave phone carrier the power to price it super expensive?
Or email that failed with spam and interactive use case? How long have you been waiting for video calls?

I dont think you can stop innovation. But i'I agree that enforcing the support of a minimal interoperable feature set could help. For exemple, companies et public admins enforced to publish their press release in RSS or to be defined minimal standard.

@nikitonsky @jonikorpi fixed it for you:

Signal
Mastodon

@nikitonsky This is what you want, we got one for our daughter, it's amazing: https://www.antonthomasart.com/wild-world.html
