"Do good, die great"

Exactly, just run your magical new code in a minifier and problem solved! It'll be just as speedy as the real deal!

Having run minor projects using PocketBase before and also seen what PocketBase itself can do and SQLite configured correctly in general, It's great. I've gotten to be a big fan of it by the years and gladly opt for it over the bigger ones.

If this project got SQLite support it would be a great replacement for my own setup which requires about 3 or 4 accounts. Currently using a proprietary solution and been looking into moving to Authentik but it's a bit too heavy resource wise for my current servers.

I'm saving this. This is gold

But wait, I'm only in my mid 20s! It's too early! It shouldn't be happening!

I think we should use "Rofles"

Thank you yet again for doing these! <3

It's exceptionally well as always!

You're beloved too for being here with us. Thank you for your presence.

Look at Mr. Svalbard Global Seed Storage over here.

Dan... I fucking love you. Thank you for this writeup. Not only is it helpful but it gives me encouragement to continue finding ways and figure things out.

I couple years back when I did my photography education we had an assignment to create a photo book as our final "exam" thing. I decided to document and show the daily life of a blind man and his tools and what he's had to go through as his blindness got worse over the years. He showed me how he uses his computer and phone and such so I really really saw the importance of accessibility.

Somewhat luckily I've been able to keep the forms somewhat sane due to using component libraries which implement accessibility well. I always make my things in SvelteKit which does have good support for accessibility and I always keep my colours contrasty with as close to as AAA as possible because it's easier on my own eyes too hahaha.

There's a national deaf-blind association nearby and I've been thinking of going there to chat about accessibility and website usage with them one day.

I'm working on digitizing the book I made into a website and of course want to make that website extroniously accessible so even a blind person can hear through descriptive wording of what's happening in the images. I also plan to make a scrolly-type thing using as little JS as possible which is nicely achievable now with the CSS scroll modifiers that's been added over the years.

It's going to be exciting to see how everything will work out. I can't thank you enough, while my only computer is a Steam Deck where running VMs is a bit so and so I'm gonna see if I can use some public computer or see if someone in the association can help me test things out and fix things from there.

One thing I've had troubles with when trying to implement accessibility is in web dev. There's so many attribute tags and I think a few different software based standards as well? I'm not entirely sure. The documentation on it felt a bit hard to follow and implement. Then I'm not sure how to go about testing it fully either without having those proprietary softwares either. I'm on an all Linux machine and the only accessibility software I know of is Orca and it's so and so last time I tried it.

While I slowly figure that out however I make sure to follow tag recommendations and keep things in sections, only one h1 tag per page, descriptive and short alt tags, and so forth. At least that helps a tiny bit.

Not necessarily. Most plugins for Tauri support being configured on the JS side of things quite well. You can achieve a total HTML/CSS/JS or using a JS framewframework with very very minimal Rust code modifications.

I dabbled in creating a GUI for password-store with Tauri and SvelteKit and managed to create everything without barely having to touch the Rust code. Of course, if you want to optimize and make it more efficient you'd probably want to port the code over to Rust as it'd most likely be a bit speedier for some tasks but in general you can go all the way in skipping the Rust partion of things!

I absolutely love GNOME but had to switch recently due to hardware and software quirks. My primary computer is a Steam Deck and with valve primarily testing their things with KDE and the ability to launch into the Deck mode there was a lot of bugs and quirks happening with GNOME that I got tired of troubleshooting and patch in config files for all the time.

Switching back to KDE, sure I get a better overview of things but I love Adwaita and the GNOME Intuitivity of the UI. Things I needed was there and presented in a very nice non-distracting way. The clean look and the added margins around elements giving a comfortable view of what's necessary is extremely nice to me, all while the rest of the stuff isn't distracting me with buttons and gizmos everywhere. I hope I can one day switch back but the added niceties of HDR and better KDE Connect support that isn't half broken is also quite nice. Loose a little, win a little.

I don't really have social circles that show of Linux elitism. While on public spaces and have the time and energy I try to help out as best I can in a respectful manner and make sure not to get frustrated or annoyed at peoples need to learn things. While I haven't encountered the elitism myself I can obviously see why it would be extremely off putting to encounter it as a new user and it saddens me a bit to hear about it.

I have a few local friends who wishes to give Linux a go now and decided to hook them up with containerbased systems, in this case since they play video games I chose to give Bazite a go for them specifically for the reason that ruining it with modifying installed packages is going to be harder. I don't mind helping them out myself however and have found the bazzite community pretty forgiving as well luckily.

This should be one word, no?

We need to beat the Germans in long and complicated words.

I heavily agree on this for most people. Sadly books, actual lectures and classes and online tutorials haven't been working for me before.

It must really fucking suck being a teacher in programming and having invested time into a book or online tutorial/study thing today. I hope EU will legislate AI training.

This was my usecase when learning JS. I've always had a very very difficult time with programming and wrapping my head around those types of patterns. But with the help of AI I was able to get a quicker understanding and being able to ask followup questions, explain what different symbols do, nowadays I use it as a basic reference to get a starting point to some solutions while just being well versed enough to approach a lot of things on my own.

I often try to switch around and experiment with different similar and potentially better approaches unless it's giving me one of those responses that have been the most bogstandard straightforward way of doing it... because of a stackoverflow answer from 12 years ago. But those are often the more simpler queries. But each day I practice my programming I turn to search engines more and more to adapt similar problems to my own so the kickoff of using AI got me to the point where I had a stronger understanding of how things work in a practical learning method that worked really really well for me.

I hate how great AI can be in some use cases while I also am part of the reason for excessive power usage of GPUs :( but I really don't think I would've been able to get as far as I've come today without it.
