@goatsarah that's a nice explanation. Thank you for this, and I'lluse this as an example the next time Ihave to explain what the Fediverse is.

Now, I'm sure there are people who will argue that this is what makes the Fediverse bad, since it's very hard to "go viral". And I'm sure I could hace been seen by more people if I started posting on, I don't know, instagram? But you know what? Quality over quantity.

@thomasfuchs wait what? Mastodon too?

@kennwhite I was in the room at that session. It was quite interesting. It was just a few hours ago, are you there too?

Oh my lord. Gruber is really doubling down on his defence of Facebook using the argument of "how dare you tell me I have to stop robbing banks? How else can I preserve these profits?". Along with a sprinkle of not understanding that the DMS only applies to large dominant companies.

Did anyone write a good rebuttal to this yet? I need something to clean the bad taste from my mouth.

@tfb I'm not sure I need to attribute his actions to him running the errands of the government. Regardless of reasons, it's clear that he's set out on a crusade against big bad EU. This is exactly in line with the unusually frank statements from Apple.

I think he's supporting Facebook here based on the My enemy's enemy is my friend idea.

He really needs to emphasise how the EU is being bad, to the point of completely ignoring facts that he is clearly aware of (because it was pointed out by that fantastic article by @ianbetteridge ) just because it helps the fiction that the EU is doing this to support European businesses.

I note the following quote:

take care at all times to avoid transforming the fundamental right to data protection into a feature that individuals have to pay to enjoy

This fact is probably completely foreign to anperson raised in a place where you can't even get the healthcare you need without paying to enjoy it

@liztai me too. What os untamed? Is it edible?

@forteller Aldrig. Jag är vad vissa kallar för gammal, och jag hade en för några dagar sedean.

@clacke @catsalad I've recently used (or tried to use) the Libreoffice Java API's. They're... interesting.

Let's just say that the code examples use a list of currencies, one of which being DEM. Which should tell you something about when they were developed.

@catsalad Oh boy. I've had the misfortune to have developed an Eclipse plugin. The internal API's are like if someone read the design patterns book, asked themselves which ones actually make sense in the context of their software and said Yes Please.

@annika Are the strings allowed to repeat?

I will now do what all obnoxious language designers do, and that is to show how nice and concise an algorithm is in one's own language (this is a version where repeats are not allowed):

Well, this only generates the permutation. Unfortunately, interspersing the spaces between the words is a bit ugly:

Example

@Sandra Thank you for sharing this. I don't think most people who set dark mode as default realise how difficult it can be do read (and the ones who do but still do it without an option to change can go... (I was about to write something very rude)).

For me, the dark mode doesn't look as bad, but instead what happens is that everything around me starts flashing (similar to what would happen if you look into the sun).

@SuperDicq @vaartis I dont do GTK developmentso I don't know if the differences are very big, but isn't the latest version 4?

@clacke You could join this class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOElypTqAjA&list=PLbkxJfdPkevr5BAP0CG60T5YicY6vr_WZ

@clacke It means to prosper.

@bagder I'm using libcurl on Riscos. Would this cause the riscos port to stop working?

@bagder Oh wait, you're right. Libcurl on riscos links with openssl, so that should be fine.

@annika Guess what I just drew?

@david_megginson @bobjonkman but they shouldn't, and resigning because someone else is doing things wrong is something you shouldn't do unless it's a last resort. Are you at that point already?

I was building some spreadsheet integration in my project, so I started using the Libreoffice Java API's.

Are they really as outdated as they feel? I mean even the examples use currencies in their demo code and it includes DEM, which was replaced with the Euro in 2002, which gives me a suggestion as to when it was written?

What is the official way to communicate with a Libreoffice instance?

I wonder if @libreoffice know the answer.
