  • Are there actually good clients for mailing lists? [Answered: No]

    Jump

  • If you hate having information delivered as text, you are never going to love mailing lists.

    Wdym? I'm reading text right now. We are interacting with text right now. It has formatting, has linking, has syntax highlighting, all depending on the client. 

     yaml
        
key: value
object:
  key: value

    All this exists in lemmy and I love it.

    A lot of other metadata exists in emails too:

    • identities
    • timing
    • person being responded to

    Even reactions could be implemented via email e.g if the response body is a single emoji --> reaction.

  • For merge requests, doesn't the default GitLab web interface do those things already …?

    Does gitlab have a mailing list function? That'd be new for me.

  • I knew I'd get at least one of you people in here 🙄

    "I don't see a problem therefore it doesn't exist".

    "Everything is fine the way it is, stop complaining."

    "Muh terminals be best"

    I guess Bauhaus is your favorite style too.

  • I scrolled through the link but it can't find the threads. The person Jeremy is responding to somebody but I can't see who. Nothing seems to be indented to follow the discussion.

    I'm on mobile right now. Does that make a difference for mailman?

  • And what have PRs got to do with mailing lists per se?

    I posted in the programming community. Mailing lists are used for submitting patches.

    a good email client will have some functionality that improves things a bit

    I've tried Thunderbird, KMail, and whatever the Gnome one is called. Frankly, it doesn't really improve on legibility. It's a bit better, yes, but even hackernews looks better. It's a far cry from lemmy's UI. If they had markdown support, that would be an improvement.

  • Mailing lists are terrible. That's part of why source forges became a thing. You can send pretty much anything into mailinglist in any format you like.

  • Same. radicle, codeberg, gitlab. Once (if?) forgejo gets federation, I bet it'll lead to a GitHub exodus.

  • I'm not sure how that would work without something around git. It would require push rights to your git instance: you'd need to add a bunch of tooling to protect yourself:

    • stop people from pushing junk to your server e.g large files, endless while loop that pushes issues filled with random characters or just counting endlessly
    • stop people from pushing malicious stuff that can infect you by running the git hook that checks the content
    • ensure you have protected branches (again probably a git hook?)

    You'd need notifications that somebody has create and issue and PR, or a web interface around git so you can see it.

    radicle has made something that works, but it required a gossip protocol to do a lot of work. There's git-bug, but that also runs into the problem of allowing others access to your git.

    A simple standard won't cut it. There is way more that has to be considered besides a simple file format. That's exactly why git-forges exist. I'm not saying it's impossible, but way more difficult than a git forge (IMO).

  • Why do native UI frameworks suck so much?

    Jump

  • I see where you're coming from. In that case, it is pretty nice indeed. Being able to click together your UI is definitely very nice.

  • Watever you do, you can use https://unbox.at/ to get free, unlimited aliases in front of any mail account you'd like. It's a hosted version of addy.io

    I've given up on encrypted email because they can read whatever you receive or send anyway: they have to. It's a question of who you trust. I've seen posteo and mailbox recommended often enough that I don't even think it matters which one you pick.

  • I downloaded heliboard to test it, but can't find "extra characters". I only found "secondary keyboards". Do you have any screenshots?

    Also downloaded Futo Keyboard and will try and find a way to add extra keys.

  • What We Lost the Last Time Code Got Cheap

  • The person I was responding to was equating their experience as a leader to being an expert in software development. And even if they had been a good developer 5, 10, or 15 years ago, that doesn't make them stay an expert. Either you're working in the field with the relevant experience, and position, or you're not.

    Your qualifications as a software developer don't magically increase to say "far exceed the required qualifications" just because you lead a team, a division, or a company. Otherwise Satya Nadella, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos would be the best software developers in the world.

  • Why do native UI frameworks suck so much?

    Jump

  • Maybe I used it the wrong way, but it had to pass down the UI and state object into every method that wanted to draw or update anything. It felt like it required a singleton or some other global object. Basically, that shared global state felt like a really great way to introduce bugs.

    And for battery-powered applications, recalculating every single thing every time feels like a battery-hog. But that's a problem with immediate mode in general, not imGUI itself. Maybe there's ways to reduce framerate or introductle conditional rendering, but that would go counter to immediate mode.
