Okay, so I've been using @Tutanota for a day now.

My biggest takeaway so far beyond the DNS crap which is not Tutantoa-specific, is that their clients and their website are not great. The lack of right-click support for actions is a huge issue. It means I have to go the entire length of the interface to move, archive and delete.

The mobile client is slow, it fetches a notification that you have an email but doesn't load the email until you open the app, so you have to wait.

@thelinuxcast @Tutanota Can’t you just use any email client? Hell you could run a roundcube instance at a hosting company of 50cents/month.

    @martijn @owncast maybe a good compromise is to have a makefile + docker compose file that installs necessary dependencies there

    Example:

    See the readme for more information

    Yet another post saying "all browsers are Chrome, we must fight the patriarchy!" and I.... just... can't. It so misunderstands, well, software really that I don't know where to begin.

    For what it's worth, I'm a big supporter of as many rendering engines as possible. I certainly don't want "Google to win". I'm just saying that a browser using Blink is NOT a Google zombie.

    Just you wait, as soon as iOS supports 3rd-party browser engines, chrome will increase in market share.

    iOS is actually atm is the last actual stand against chrome dominance.

    In the end it’s about websites continuing to support the browser you’re using, nothing more matters. If most websites are broken in Safari because everyone has moved to only running chromium+ thats not my interpretation of an open web.

    array, to Laravel
    @array@fosstodon.org avatar

    One (among so many other) thing I really like from #Laravel is that you can actually learn to use it just using the official docs. They are "human readable", there are examples, and they cover everything that matters in the ecosystem, and then some.

    Sure we all can mention some frameworks where learning them would be pretty difficult without unofficial, external tutorials, do we? ;)

    @array while the official docs in #golang are great, “go by example” saved me hours of time

    I am pretty happy with what I achieved using „boring“ technology like , and .

    I was able to fully replace fullcalendar.io, save 400kb of minified JS and CSS, get better performance and was able to implement new features impossible to implement with fullcalendar. Happy to release it on Tuesday next week for our customers.

    A short video show casing our planning boards in Editorial Organizer which have been fully rebuild with htmx, tailwind and Django. I show a snappy context menu, drag and drop of cards between columns, adding labels and stuff.

    @oliverandrich instead of changing the opacity (to show that the change is still being accepted by the server) add a spinner to the bottom right

    @pjol @ArtemisApp for anyone considering contributing this project isn’t actually GPL

    The team have tried their best to cover it up.

    lil5, to opensource
    @lil5@fosstodon.org avatar

    A project I contributed a small amount to, recently added a license: and I thought no much of it, until they started claiming that this license is “open source”

    I created a pull request to replace it with “source available” but was rejected

    https://github.com/mormaer/Mlem/pull/240

    A warning to anyone who is interested contributing that this is not GPLv3 software it’s CommonsClaused 🔒

    lil5,
    @lil5@fosstodon.org avatar

    @danb Thanks for linking to the other pull request, and for adding the project to that list I’ll be checking that list before contributing from now on.

    I was one of the contributors to approve the license PR in the first place not knowing they’d call it open source or make GitHub think it’s licensed under the GPL.

    This whole thing feels disingenuous at this point.

    lil5,
    @lil5@fosstodon.org avatar

    @danb And my GitHub account has been marked as spam, I’ve sent a support ticket promising never to do anything on Mlem again with a detailed record of my experience

    I can still access my account but all connections have been severed, Login with GitHub doesn’t work now

    my personal opinion of telemetry is steeped in non-trust, and I won't get into that here, but:

    >Google's javascript allocating 20k vars in ONE stack frame.

    "Why do you not trust arbitrary code running in your web browser?" they ask...

    @yakkoj Have you heard of #offen #analytics ?

    It’s a #selfhost able analytics server with beautiful diagrams showing what data it collects with a delete data button available too.

    A good easy alternative exist now (plausible is hard to maintain, matomo is expensive for extra features, goatcounter is not user friendly)

    Just downgraded my #1password from a family to an individual account.

    I had tried to get my wife to use better passwords instead of reusing the same two or three over and over again.

    I've been partly successful in that she is now able to generate random passwords that meet any given sites requirements.

    The problem is that the wife just wants to use a computer without all the copy/paste malarkey and the browser plugin frequently let her down leaving her unable to login.

    She has a book now!

    @onthefencedev yeah after hearing about each 1password issue after the next I’m not surprised.

    I’ve succeeded with #bitwarden for my SO

    The addon auto fills and just works

    I had to use 1password at work previously and it wasn’t as user friendly

    This is why we used Docker or another container tech like LXD or FreeBSD jails. There is no need to break the whole thing because a newer version of Python or PHP is installed on your Unix or Linux server.

    Learning #python as a JS dev the setup process was confusing, #pipenv does a lot for you in setting up virtualenv but with sane defaults and simpler commands.

    Feels like npm

    pipenv install
    pipenv install Django
    pipenv run ./manage.py
    pipenv shell
    pipenv uninstall Django

    #APT is one of the slowest package managers I've ever tried, at least when handling updates

    Not bashing on it, just an observation.

    lil5,

    @Wyndix I’d say #flatpak or #ostree if you’re comparing average update time.

    I know it’s comparing apples to oranges shrug
