Do we really need all these new modern interfaces

Time to ditch the new modern 'apps' and go back to what works
protocols and standards

Not cloud and apps

@JohnShirley2023 @kissane @pieist @JohnShirley2023 @corfiot @kissane @pieist Ladies and gentlemen I present to you one of the first cyberpunk authors advocating for a kill switch *on open source software*

You either die a nobody or live long enough to to have a boomer induced aneurysm on your keyboard.

@ryo
To me, it seems like one of the many new languages that is trying to be that C/C++ replacement along with Go, Zig, D, and Jai. People want a replacement because C suffers from the problem of being too simple yet difficult to use effectively (need to grasp pointers, learn how data is managed, etc.), while C++ has too many features tacked on over the years that it's difficult to fully learn. So everyone is trying to create a replacement with varying degrees of success.

>And so many who used .NET in the past who now have to rewrite their stuff again now that more people decided to switch to Linux, BSD, or macOS even.

Mono and .NET Core exists. C# is probably the most popular programming language for indie games. Of course, it's supported on Linux. I used C# on Linux up until recently. Only problem is that it's heavily frowned upon in the Linux community for obvious reasons and that compiled Mono/.NET applications still have .exe extensions which makes it confusing if you also use Wine.

Enemies can now drop keys if set to do so.

I was also experimenting with tile colors. I thought a light blue/cyan would be an interesting color for the tiles. I was expecting a bathroom-like aesthetic but it ended up looking like an ice cave instead.

@Moon @7666 @lain I wouldn't trust FastMail. They seem shady.

digdeeper.club/articles/email.

Posteo.de seems like the best. It's paid, but it is 1 EUR per month and they even allow cash by mail. Disroot seems like a decent choice if you want a free provider, but the various backgrounds they use on their website give me Antifa vibes. They claim that anyone can use it regardless of ideology.

@coolboymew I pretty much only use email for sign ups, but that may change soon. I only use Gmail if I am working for a company that uses it.

@ryo It may be a meme language, but is anything specifically wrong with it, other than being developed by Google's controlled opposition?

So how bad is the current situation of not being able to self host email? Supposedly, it's becoming harder to self-host because Gmail would blacklist entire IP ranges if a single server from said range is known for spam which supposedly makes it much harder to self host.

But I see a lot of people still self-hosting and saying that they don't have any problem. I like to do nslookups on various small business and organization websites and a lot of them still self-host (or use a VPS) with no problem.

I think that one article exaggerated the situation.

@PhenomX6
Are they really shilling RSS now? That's surprisingly based.

Thousands of archivists and librarians over here gesticulating *yes, finally, we've been saying this for a decade+*

Case in point; why else would "furries against fascism" be protesting for a cause that didn't exist 10-15 years ago? Oh right. They're not a fandom of talking animal enjoyers. They're a fandom of political pawns with porn and depression.
