Yes that was poorly worded. Replace “except for” with “besides” and it’s fine.

Well, no, not anymore…

*flow

I hope you code better than you spell, friend.

Sonobus

What a clever name!

I run Mattermost at home since several years, and now I am switching to Zulip.

Mattermost is also enshittifying itself and imposing limits like those that caused us to flee from Slack.

Zulip is (afaik) true FOSS without venture capital, and has no restrictions. It’s what we should habe done from the start.

Yeah but we pay way less for housing and health.

You se knowledgeable on this, so I hope you’ll allow me to ask this.

I don’t know anything about Discord, but I selfhost the Mattermost chat system for my family. They, too, are narrowing the free tier.

Can Matrix replace Mattermost for a family? Several separate “rooms” for various topics, plus 1-to-1 chats.

It is selfhosting when YOU set it up and CONTROL it.

Doesn’t matter what machine it runs on. Not everyone has the option of running a machine at home.

Oh, deep cut. I did not see that string as separate numbers. Thank you for the explanation.

Is this another inside joke? I don’t get it.

Whats so special about 72 hours? It sounds like it would selfdestruct if nobody presses the dead man switch every 3 days?

This release also brings you […] a new font face (“The-name-must-not-be-named” Sans) that improves reading legibility, especially for numbers and smaller text

What’s the story about that font name? I’m out of the loop.

I see myself as a project manager and executive producer. I know I don’t write that code, and I couldn’t even if I tried.

But I am skilled at directing and verifying, and this has allowed me to create (not code) a fairly complex WordPress plugin for course bookings with online card payment processing etc.

I have made a few manual tweaks here and there but that code is 98% Claude. And you know what? It works. That is good enough for me.

You are ice cold metal, my friend 🤘

Unpopular opinion: LCARS is utter garbage UI.

Sure it looks cool in the TV series, and its brand recognition is spectacular. But actually using it? Horrible.

Then use… a camera??

Also depends on how you phrase the question to the LLM, and whether it har access to source files.

A web chat session can’t do a lot, but an interactive shell like Claude Code is amazing - if you know how to work it.

In light of recent events, other countries should drag Trump to the ICC and thence straight to the gallows.

And the Colemak keyboard layout 😅

What’s with the hat? Out of the loop here. Only saw it once, don’t remember details.
