paequ2@lemmy.today I mean... I don't really fully understand Elisp either, despite my Emacs config being 10 years old! 😅

cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de yes. Lock screen widgets went away after Android 7, I think. Now, 8(?) years later, we can introduce it as new feature!

I want to love Guix (both the package manager and the distro). I want to love Scheme. But I can never find any good tutorials for Scheme and using it with Guix. The GNU documentation is more of a reference than a tutorial. I use Emacs on the daily, and I just can't get into Scheme.

I'm over here still using OpenRC. Mostly because I want to. Some servers I run have systemd on them. systemd is generally nice. OpenRC has finally gained the ability to run user services, which is also very nice.

Probably a case of legislative inertia and tried-and-true practices. It's also a thing that's mostly limited to the US, I feel like. I want to say many other Western countries have digital systems in place (maybe not the BEST digital systems, but something better than fax).

Fax is not end-to-end encrypted. Not even sure it's encrypted in transit. But it is also something that doesn't rely on a third party provider storing all your data indefinitely and then losing it all in a data breach. Of course, that doesn't stop people from hooking up to a virtual fax service that might store info on a server... but still...

treadful@lemmy.zip well, easy is relative, but it's this treaty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAFT

treadful@lemmy.zip Netherlands also has a xenophobia problem. It's not as progressive as people think, at least not anymore.

That being said, it's not a bad country. Also one of the easiest EU countries for Americans to immigrate to.

You assume precedent, consistency, or ethics matter to the current people in power in the US.

There are several on F-Droid. There's Energize and Food You, which integrate with some external food databases.

Don't quite understand the JavaScript one.

Is this actually a legal Jenga setup? Assuming you could actually get the tower to this state without violating the rules?

Definitely an overreaction lol.

But why are you not sold on Gemini? I mean, does it even need selling? Does Gopher need a selling point? They're both deliberately simple protocols that work basically only on text. Gemini itself was conceived as an alternative to the modern web, deliberately simple in most ways, but not as simple as Gopher.

The vitriol between Republicans and Democrats in the US has always been there, and I think it started escalating rapidly after Nixon. Even with George Bush Jr in the early 2000s, which had its own set of big problems, it was still "civilized," although people look back at that time and think it was insane (because it was). But the rhetoric has only accelerated even more, and the Trump administrations are the natural end result of this ever-increasing polarization, unfortunately.

I feel like "reasonable" Republican positions died with out after Reagan. Even though most people in this space will never say Regan's positions were reasonable (much less good or defensible), there was still a veneer of civility and respect for what little democratic function America had at the time.

At this point, all of that has been thrown out the window. Even Pence, for how evil of a person he is, still refused to destroy the process, at least.

mwa@thelemmy.club It is certified to be UNIX, yes. But Linux is not UNIX. Not that it would matter if Linux was certified to be UNIX anyhow. UNIX is a certification that you go through and pay for. The kernel beneath is not necessarily binary compatible with other UNIX operating systems.

It's an interesting idea. Could be a way to catch interest and education.

leetnewb@beehaw.org said in Is there a way I can make my XMPP Conversations messages synced to my desktop?:

Well, the blog post for it is from January 2025. https://signal.org/blog/a-synchronized-start-for-linked-devices/

So I guess it has not been around too long! But it's interesting they've added it. Sounds like it works similarly to the existing message transfer, but with the addition of multiple encryption keys (similar to how Matrix does it).

unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de it also seems that Conversations now has the ability to preserve message history when moving devices. Of course this is different than moving between clients, but it's a step in the right direction.

@noodlejetski@lemm.ee Did not know that. Must be very recent.

@unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de in this case, it was designed explicitly as a security feature. It's not uncommon for end-to-end encrypted services to have this limitation. Signal has it, for example. Only way you can keep your message history with Signal is to migrate it directly from installation to installation, and it doesn't sync old messages when setting up the desktop client.

But, you should be fine if you have a backup of Conversations, at least on Conversations itself.
