Mind meld with a sociopath? What could go wrong?

Bah! is a Vulcan! He's not going to go all / like a blubbering idiot because of someone's uncontrollable urges.

Proposing some naïve pseudocode heuristic to protect against users who try to compare big binary blobs (and then complain that Meld/GTK's text views choke under it…), Zerg Rush edition: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/issues/281#note_2079941

Feel free to propose a smarter heuristic than mine (or even better: a real fine-tuned patch… after all, it's , how hard can it be™?)

"How many of the most popular image/audio/video file formats do you want to include in the file extensions filters?"

Me: "Yes."

Verzeichnisse diffen

Wie findet man unterschiedliche Dateien in zwei Verzeichnissen? Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass die Verzeichnisse eine unterschiedliche Struktur der Unterverzeichnisse haben.

There are some software that we need to preserve, meaning both keeping them under development and also keep them as community-driven projects.

I'll list here the projects I think that should be preserved, and I invite you all to comment the projects you think are essential to be on the list (please provide URL as well)

My list for now:
@AntennaPod
@kde applications
• Emacs
@neovim
@joplinapp

🔂 Boosting is highly appreciated

heikkiket,

@Mehrad

I'd say

...and many others could be listed as well! Am I mistaken btw? Is there a title here that's not a community driven project?

I've been encountering some weird bug for years with the #Meld diff/comparison tool, when doing directories comparisons with lots of subdirectories: it seems Meld is sometimes unable to match identically-named directories, and thinks they are simultaneously new and missing on both sides … So far I haven't figured out what causes this exactly.

In case I'm not the only one experiencing this issue on #Linux, here's what I reported tonight: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/issues/808

Thank you @TheEvilSkeleton for taking the time to make #Meld work with #GNOMEBuilder, so that any #Python + #GTK #GNOME contributor can now easily test and improve that venerable textfiles comparison tool without having to figure out how to build the app by themselves!

This should also make the GTK4 port here easier for anyone to test and contribute to, once it gets rebased: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/meld/-/merge_requests/105#note_1875728

Thanks to @TheEvilSkeleton for giving me a perfect opportunity to use the time-honored #Collabora / #GStreamer software #developers rallying cry as #Meld can now be built with #GNOME Builder:
"It compiles? SHIP IT!" 😜️

Why all of this matters with respect to #JsonLD:

JSON-LD is a hugely, massively complex beast of a spec that is incredibly feature rich (c.f., https://hachyderm.io/@hrefna/110894609163744434 ).

That complexity, however, comes at a cost and, unlike say JSON schema or some other options in this space, that cost is borne by the implementer. Especially problematic since a lot was punted to JSON-LD: #ActivityPub didn't want to define a metamodel and wanted to lean on #JsonLD for a lot.

So what do we do about it?

I guess this is can be an inbetween of option 1) and 2). There are a bunch of initiatives that try to define either subsets or supersets of #LinkedData that are easier to deal with for developers.

Like #AtomicData, see: https://docs.atomicdata.dev

Or #meld, see: https://m-ld.org/doc/#structured-data

All long way to go, I guess.

All of these I think have a disadvantage that ref impls and tooling isn't up to par. But after after many years that is also still true for full-blown LD tooling.
