Basic, Erlang (or Prolog, not sure which was first), Fortran 77 (lol).

Honestly, these JetBrains promotions feel a bit like a sell-out. At the very least, could they be marked as sponsored posts, please? 🤔
I’m also unsure whether it’s even legal for a non-profit to promote a corporation like this without clear disclosure. Happy to hear others’ thoughts.

Well, they should aim for the original one by Xerox then.

💭 A genuine question:
Should the PSF continue to sustain PyCon US directly?
It’s the flagship Python event, but it also seems to consume a large portion of PSF funds with limited benefit for the global community.
Wouldn’t it make more sense for PyCon US to rely more on external sponsorships and partnerships, instead of drawing so much from the PSF itself?
Also, how much support do regional PyCons receive by comparison?

A Flutter app with a rust core via ffi could be compiled to wasm if chatmail core can be.

Hey @npub17gp…nrxn! Reading this https://delta.chat/en/2025-05-22-browser-edition got me thinking. I live in Firefox but miss Chrome’s one-click “Install PWA as app”. What about a Tauri-based helper + a Firefox extension that wraps a PWA into a desktop app in one step? Hosting stays light: the PWA is cached; relays/self-hosted instances can serve the client. Keeps control with admins. Interested? 👍🏻

I'm definitely checking it out. I need such a tool for a project.

Fosstodon's local timeline is enough for me. It's great and interesting.
I see almost nothing relatable in Explore.
I'm still following new accounts from boosts in my home timeline.

I've noticed recently that some organizations that have an account in Fediverse share their Bluesky account here. I wonder why they think this is relevant for us to know?
It looks like trying to convince people to ride a bus while they are comfortably riding one already.

and with Atomic desktops like Silverblue, Fedora is the best choice for inexperienced users.

well, just yesterday https://fosstodon.org/@lig/113800965774060146
Because I'm tired of accidentally finding those TODOs in the code that are important.
