Meh. The project died for me when they started using LLMs for development in the first place.

Nah: https://www.magicbell.com/blog/using-push-notifications-in-p...

You could add features to make it a PWA and explain to users how to save it t their desktop. I used ProtonMail for years that way (I do not have a smartphone anymore, so no longer …

Yes!! This!! I wrote a shell awhile back and was pretty happy with it... but could _not_ get job control to work quite right. It was a big pain.

I believe that if you have a network stack and can download files from the internet--which would include software--that it counts. I don't want to re-read to find the part, but the…

From the bill: > "Covered application store” does not mean an online service or platform that distributes extensions, plug-ins, add-ons, or other software applications that run exc…

> "vile machines raping the planet" is obviously vitriol Well, I still think you are giving an opinion and I am giving mine. I disagree with your opinion. Mr. Pike is making a stat…

Well, I couldn't disagree more with you: being anti-AI is absolutely not an extreme position. You are living in a bubble if you think it is. "Fervent anti-AI territory" is a good p…

Funny, it seems perfectly appropriate to me.

Yeah, but the industry is a big part of the problem and most people working in it are complicit at this point (whether or not they are reluctantly complicit).

I also really like asymmetrical games. In particular the various Tafl[0] reconstructions. Some are unbalanced, but some are very balanced and fun to play as either attacker or defe…

Agreed. I tried to dig around a bit in the pdf (though I am admittedly distracted at the moment) and it looked like a tree walk interpreter being built. At least at first. There we…

Using color alone to distinguish links is explicitly an accessibility violation. Underlines are not a requirement. I certainly agree that the link system here is atypical. It just …

If you dont care about the standards, which governments use to define how accessibility works and who it applies to for legal purposes, then you essentially want to make up your ow…

There is a clear pattern and clear consistency at play here and there is no violation of the w3c/wai standards involving these links.

The link styling system used on the wiki complies with all web accessibility standards: it clearly and consistently shows a link without using color as the sole determining factor.…

Or as an alternate approach: https://tildegit.org/sloum/swim

I have not been on an official tilde server (I wouldnt join because they have a code of conduct which I think infantilises adult humans)... but I am on a few pubnixes (circumlunar.…

That seems reasonable to me. Small groups can be easily torn apart bad bad actors. Even well meaning folks that just don't vibe well can really hae a large effect on small intentio…

Different standard library, different focus, similar-ish core interpreter. However, it doesnt need to be different. This was not built for folks other than me and a few friends to …

macros werent necessary for me and the language is for me. I can always add them later (as the other comments mention). Not having them makes things simpler and easier for those wi…

I would agree. Simple and old school, but with a dash of modern features was what I was going for. I used Logo a good bit when I was young, so I can appreciate the comparison.

Because at one point filter was implemented as a special form in the interpreter rather than in the library. As such it was colored with special forms. That has changed and it is n…

Language/website author here: nope. Just good old fashioned html, css, and a pinch of vanilla js just to get a few things working. I had tried out making a forth a while back. It w…
