@jak2k@mastodontech.de Thanks ❤️ I‘ll add a blogroll too, and link back 😀 From reading yours, the concept of human.json is to have a list of URLs that are created by humans, which you personally vouch for, right?

@jak2k@mastodontech.de Congrats on the launch! Looking good, especially the badges 👏 Also really like the idea of bringing blogrolls back 👍

@cjk@chaos.social @rdh@floss.social Uh, the macOS screenshots look super cool. I‘m a GNOME user myself, but now I have a recommendation for the Apple users I know who use GitHub Desktop ❤️

@mntmn @holo_memory Will the station also be compatible with the Pocket Mainboard? Given I want to upgrade to the new Pocket Mainboard I might soon have a left over 😅
Replying to
@mntmn @holo_memory zomg, that new Pocket Mainboard goes right on my wishlist 😍 It’s so cool to have an upgradable device. Thanks a lot!

@inlovewithpda 🚨 Are you distro hopping? 🚨
Oh wait, Haiku is not a Linux Distro, so continue 👍
Writing tip: When you write a blog post in which you say that you are a super responsible vibe coder, maybe don‘t say you‘re generating code in a programming language you don‘t know **in the same article**
Excited to be speaking at @balticruby@ruby.social together with @brettspielpony@brettspiel.space ❤️

@tisba@ruby.social Yep, and another issue points to significant, foundational problems at GitHub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b13m-iuu4XU&feature=youtu.be
And that‘s just part of the issue… the list goes on. Their GitHub Action runners are so unreliable that we went to a different provider for them in my current project and it significantly improved the happiness in the team.
My main problem is: for commercial projects, I don‘t really see an alternative that is not self-hosted 🙈
Github are you joking?

On April 29, @alaaReuschenbach@mastodon.social and I will give a talk about Web Performance at @engkiosk@podcasts.social Rhine-Ruhr 😀 @utilitybend@front-end.social will talk about how CSS became a state machine. See you there?

Replying to
@tisba@ruby.social No, I did not say that 😅 We use https://www.blacksmith.sh for the runners (cheaper & much faster than GitHub’s – but most importantly it has a reliable network, which GitHub runners don‘t).
We are still on GitHub, because I don‘t know a feasible alternative that is not self-hosted. But if their service degrades further, I guess self/hosting is the only option 😭
It gets harder and harder for me to see any meaningful difference between iOS and Android. iOS is getting less privacy friendly (wait for Siri becoming Gemini), Android is getting less open. They look very similar. And outside the pre-installed apps, it‘s mostly web views and cross-compiled apps anyway.

@Nico@meinungsschubla.de Cool, vielen Dank ❤️ Da werde ich bestimmt Dinge klauen 😁
Verstehe 👍 Backup zu Hause ist mir persönlich ein bisschen zu risikoreich. Das will ich lieber außer Haus haben. Deswegen habe ich unsere Borg Backups auf einem Storage Box bei Hetzner.

It‘s time to fork Rails. Thanks to @Floppy@mastodon.me.uk kicking it off, we are getting started now:

It feels like developers are currently split into two groups that do not really understand what the other group is talking about:
One group tries to reduce their dependency on Big Tech by switching to alternative search engines, code forges, map providers, operating systems…
And the other group is trying to increase their dependency on Big Tech by adopting agentic and/or vibe coding.
Hello from @engkiosk@podcasts.social Rhine-Ruhr Meetup 👋 With @Schepp@mastodon.social on stage

@Nico@meinungsschubla.de Sehr cool! Magst du dein Ansible Setup Open Source machen? Fände ich sehr cool, werde ich mit meinem Home Server Setup auch machen. Dann kann man sich ein paar Sachen klauen 😀
Hast du da genug SSD für Nextcloud und Immich?

@tante@tldr.nettime.org Also: Why would you do that via text message instead of pressing a button (either a physical one, or a button on your phone) or via voice assistant. Chat seems completely inefficient to me…
Replying to
@robbyrussell@ruby.social I don‘t 😅Seeing how much trust people have in the basis of the ecosystem is not ”voicing grievances“. But it‘s your survey, and therefore your choice.

@rotnroll666@mastodon.social @javahippie@mainz.social @schmic@hessen.social It is so deeply frustrating that the only way to get fitness data from Garmin, Wahoo etc. is to get the data dump and parse it 😡 I‘m also quite sure you can‘t really use their devices (watches, bike computers, bike trainers, sensors…) without iOS or Android…
Replying to
@robbyrussell@ruby.social No question about the trust in Ruby Central and by extension rubygems.org? That‘s a huge concern, would be good to give it visibility.
