I'm browsing #BrightonRuby website using #lynx and well done @andycroll It's really readable

Why #lynx or if you wish #links? Working on #neovim I spend most of my time in #CommandLine so it's easy just to open a new terminal using it for code related stuff

In my day job, I work for a media company that focuses on the toy industry.

Apropos of nothing, I decided to add the Mastodon plushie (aka #Plushtodon) to the latest products on our Toy Insider website.

Please boost this so our editors will frustratingly tell me to stop trying to make Mastodon happen.

so on the 30th of April 1993 #CERN released - free for everyone - the foundational blocks of the modern web. And since then it's been huge!
This is another proof that humankind can advance only through collaboration among countries, not by building walls!

@muzej I'm planning a visit to Ljubljana in August 8th-10th. Are you open in those days?

@muzej I remember this! My dad was working as a traveling salesman and every time he came home he had to send the orders back to the company headquarters by using something similar to this!

💾⌨️ MS-DOS 6.x was the last standalone Microsoft DOS, present from the early days of the PC era (1981) until Windows Me, the last of the related Windows versions. It's still used in some business environments today 😅, and many homes appreciate it for DOS retro gaming 😍.

@muzej do you have any planned summer closures? I was thinking about visiting your wonderful museum in August

Hey Ruby people :)

Can you build a local 'code assistant'? I experimented and found it’s doable with some effort. Using Ollama (ollama.com/), I tested models and settled on DeepSeek-Coder 1.3B for my MacBook Air M1 (8GB RAM, 512GB SSD). I wrote a Python script for code snippets/files and a Lua script for LunarVim to call it via key combo. It’s Ruby-focused now but could grow. Code’s on Codeberg (codeberg.org/).
Thoughts?"

Aumentano le richieste dell’UE ad Apple per le aperture di iOS e iPadOS

La Commissione Europea ha annunciato nuove misure per garantire una maggiore interoperabilità tra dispositivi e servizi digitali. Tra le aziende coinvolte, Apple è ancora al centro dell’attenzione per la chiusura del suo ecosistema, che dovrà essere ancora più aperto a soluzioni di terze parti in conformità con il Digital Markets Act (DMA). Le nuove disposizioni impongono ad Apple di apportare…

The Little Coder's Predicament, by _why

> So what’s the problem here? We have no shortage of new languages, but they become increasingly distanced from the populace. Are the companies behind these platforms weary of placing the power of a programming language in the hands of users? Is there not a demand any longer? It’s got to be some kind of greed, power, money thing, right?

@esparta indeed, Ruby is preferable but I have to say that my 12 yers old son is getting hooked into programming because of Roblox and so, maybe Lua is another viable option too :)

@Kaline thanks a lot! I already bought a bunch of postcards ready to be sent :)

2025-03-14

@nakieken thanks a lot! I was used to send postcards back in the days and I loved it. More, from someone that was living in a small village, postcards were an eye on the big world outside

Today I sent my first ever postcard for #postcrossing I do really hope it will reach its destinations safely #postcards

Please share, especially with your trans, queer, and furry friends: I'm redesigning my website and am looking for an artist to make a tiny sleepy fox icon for my header. Paid of course, and I may need some more illustrations down the line. 🦊
