(OK, so not really ALL of them… not by a long shot, actually.) 🤦♂️
How cool is this: watch my mouse and keyboard follow seamlessly from my desktop to my Raspberry Pi 🤓
It’s a little app called Synergy that I now have running across my Linux box, 2 Pis, Mac, and Windows clunker. (And VSCode is connected via SSH to the Pi in the video too.)
Has made working on and testing Raspberry Pi support for Site.js (https://sitejs.org) so much simpler :)
Meet the new Site.js (https://sitejs.org) build and deployment box… Yep, that’s a Raspberry Pi 3B+ :)
Given that you cannot cross-compile for ARM in Nexe yet, it’s the only device I have that can build for all four (as of later today) supported platforms (Linux x64, Linux ARM, macOS, and Windows 10).
I hope to have Site.js version 12.8.0 out this afternoon with Linux on ARM support for Raspberry Pi, etc.
@RuiSeabra @gitlab Right, so I should be more concerned by them gaming licensing then by them working with fascists. Got you. Excellent priorities you have there 👍
@trevormeier (And thank you) :)
@trevormeier Hey Trevor, for now here is fine :) I really need to get a GitHub mirror up so folks can submit issues, etc.
Blood money is fine with us, says GitLab: Vetting non-evil customers is ‘time consuming, potentially distracting’

Anyone else seeing extra characters (purely cosmetic) being shown during completions in latest VSCode on Pop!_OS/Ubuntu 19.04 with zsh by chance?
Think it started happening one update ago.

Amnesty International: "Young people have the right to learn & talk about sex! But today Poland will vote on a bill which would make teaching or promoting sexuality education to under 18s a crime punishable with for up to 3 yrs in prison. Support people in Poland opposing this. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2019/10/poland-law-criminalizing-sexuality-education-recklessly-retrogressive/"
@mntmn Congratulations :)
Sadly, Switching.social was discontinued but, thanks to the efforts of @tobias, it is being reincarnated as Switching.software.

Thank you, Tobias. And thank you to the original anonymous person who created and maintained it until now.

Hi Fediverse 👋
let me sum up the situation around #switchingsocial
Around September 20th, the original (anonymous) author of switching.social shut down its website and all related Social Media accounts, including mastodon 🤔
This info reached me (@tobias ) the next day via my German version @swisode .
As there hasn't been any sign of life since then, I restored the website and created this new account. Right now I'm out of spare time to work on it, but that'll change in a few weeks 🙂
@ck @sheogorath @tobias @switchingsoftware I know it did and I hear you :( But as far as I can tell, they are done with it. And I don’t want to push.
@switchingsoftware 👌 Thank you so much. I’m sure the original author will also appreciate it if they happen upon it :)
@switchingsoftware Thanks so much, Tobias :) And thanks again for doing this. I will start referring people to switching.software from now on :)
@dajbelshaw @kensanata @switchingsoftware @tobias Yeah, and they wish to remain so. They had their reasons for switching it off. Sadly, it’s not my place to disclose them.

@sheogorath @tobias @switchingsoftware Thanks for the background. I believe the original author is aware of how much we all appreciated/appreciate the resource.
Congrats on the effort to relaunch it, @tobias
PS. The original author may or may not be a he. They wish to remain anonymous.
