When you think about it, it's remarkable how bad the JVM has been for delivering local software on personal computers (not counting Android phones).

Because its all GUI toolkits were abandoned compared to its native and managed alternarives?
In the 2010s it also was closest to die out itself

Version control kinda removes the thrill out of software development

One could always spice the things up, to make a moment when a team finds out that a deployed to prod artifact doesn't match a binary built from a supposedly same source version :)

@NIGHTEN
Yes, kinda. I guess I'd need to write about the case I mentioned above.... someday.

Okay, some really bad news but also a suggestion for a way forward.

The Guppe groups domain name was sold by their registrar before they could renew it. This means all Guppe groups are broken, and their web addresses point to a spam blog 😞

However, there is another group provider called FediGroups, you can find out more on their site:

➡️ https://about.fedigroups.social/home

FediGroups has features that Guppe never had, including private groups.

(More info about situation: https://github.com/immers-space/guppe/issues/118 )

As we collectively look back on what the Mac once was, I don’t want to conflate the repercussions of Apple’s design decisions with the massive fundamental shift that occurred in 2008 when developers chased after the iPhone market, leaving the Mac behind.

Yes, app icons don’t look like this anymore, but also... very few apps are developed for the Mac these days. I would love to create an app icon like this again, but I’d like to see apps that were like this again.

I'd like to note that very few apps are developed for any desktop platform.

People moved into mobile realms when some families don't have any non-mobile devices (eg, smartphones and tablets).

It may happen that Linux and others have more desktop-first apps nowadays on average than Windows and Mac (excluding some niches).

It's so hot in Japan right now that the plastic fake food is literally melting off the shelves 😬

Also makes me realise that nobody I follow posts how hot it is in Thailand now (a few degrees more in Bangkok than in Tokyo, for example).

Moments like this I wish I could draw...

We're watching Bear Grylls on Louis Theroux and wondering what kind of bear he would be and Shellie says Paddington and it took 5 minutes to stop laughing.

"Paddington Bear Grylls"

Another twist - Paddington, but with their voice from the localisation (Ukrainian specifically) :)

    Una pregunta para la mente colmena de Mastodon y el Fediverso:

    ¿Conocéis algún recurso online que explique de manera más o menos extensa el funcionamiento de las justas de caballeros en la Edad Media?

    Se agradecen los impulsos para que llegue a más personas y que tenga recorrido.

    how long to infuse black tea

    gemelen ,
    @gemelen@mammut.moe avatar

    @lritter
    15 to 30 seconds for the first one (out of 5 to 7) :)
    The only problem is that for speciality teas, not supermarket ones - you still may do it, and a result would be better than a single long brewing... But you are robbing yourself from a whole other world of tastes and aromas.
