It's interesting to note that Béhar has founder credit for Telo Trucks, he's not a one-shot contractor. I guess his designs studio is involved with the new version as well.

At that point, isn't adding a good old contact form a simpler solution? You can link it with your email address or other channels. It can even works with static websites, I hooked up mine with Nextcloud Forms.

I appreciate the hacker creativity at display here, but as other said obfuscating an email address raises accessibility issues. Hiding content from some programs and not others (spam bots vs assistive technologies) seems inherently a losing game, for you or for users.

Sorry, but if there's one thing the last forty years taught us, it's the fact that Bordintillism is a collective failure.

IMHO, Github issues vs Discord is a false dilemma. Searching in Discord or searching through hundred of issues with months of comments are equally bad.

A place to report issues and a place to discuss have their use, but any project needs comprehensive documentation and a FAQ page. Yes, many won't read them. But also, many will.

To answer hypotheses from others:

> Will there be a Windows version?

> Currently there is no active plan to make a Windows version. We'll post here if that changes.

No matter how many times you kill him, Quine rises from his tomb, his hand showing through the dirt to point at a rabbit.

There's quite an interesting book on the topic of real-wold harm, mainly from an user interface point of view.

Your comment opened my eyes on the matter a little bit.

As some others in this page, I loathe the act of writing, but it's also a negative feedback loop where I use disposable ballpoint pen. I remember I used to prefer foutain pen in high school.

Still, for my case I see two potential downsides with foutain pen:

- mobility (train trips and bike commuting). I remember instances of leaks.

- Infrequent use. I'll keep being a keyboard-first note-taker. :)

I guess I need to shop for shake-proof, non-drying pen and cartridges.

Here is a dedicated website from the plaintiffs team. https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/

Interestingly, Matthew Butterick (of Practical Typography fame) is co-counsel on this. Programmer, lawyer and typesetting expert, damn. https://matthewbutterick.com/

Me: nice, a chill, contemplative game, just what I need.

Also me: try to counter-steer at 100 mph.

I observed the change in tone in Mozilla blog posts, from experts talking about their craft to marketspeak.

Even posts I should be professionally partial to, like those about UI design, rub me of the wrong way. It's often full of "creating delightful experiences" and "streamlining a seamless flow".

That can't be an unintended reference in this title https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consider_the_Lobster

I use the official extension from Nextcloud. It has an user interface in the nextcloud web app and a dedicated mobile client. Probably not as fully featured as other services, but it perfectly fits my needs and if you already has a Nextcloud instance, it's just one click away from install.

Thanks for this video.

As a fan of "craftsmanship porn" videos, I feel seen. :)
