Wildy disjunctive.
Mail-in-a-Box looks like a great solution for people with a bit of tech know-how who want to wean themselves off Gmail/MS/Apple's clown, I mean cloud: Mail server and contacts in a container: https://mailinabox.email/ #privacy #email
@hergertme Hey yo, I'm sorry for making you feel like that. I'll shut up then.
@mjog Obviously bugs were filed. But maybe instead of writing a new completion engine for Vala, I'll just delete the code and go work on something else that doesn't involve self-righteous people trying to make me feel bad for being realistic about my experiences on my personal mastadon account.
@hergertme Hey, as someone who inherited a non-trivial vala project, I know full well it's quirkiness.
But complaining about it being buggier than a smaller, much more mature project is still unfair. Especially given the work that has been put in to vala over the last 12 months.
Constructive criticism is useful, but "vala sucks" (which most/all of the recent criticism has been) isn't. File bugs, attach patches. You know the drill.
@hergertme This is hardly surprising given that despite being both volunteer run projects, vala has not only fewer contributors but also a much larger scope compared to the python bindings.
I know it's kind of cool to do so, and I understand it is frustrating, but ragging on vala lime this is pretty unhelpful. It's a useful tool in the ecosystem at the moment.
tfw your compiler loads a web browser and opens windows: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/you-got-your-web-browser-in-my-compiler/
@nobody Sort of it yeah, but I'd rather an app, and their TLS cert is untrusted. :/
Well no shit, John Postel is to blame for RFC 822's use of CRLF for line endings, and maybe the DOS/Windows convention isn't that bad: https://www.rfc-editor.org/old/EOLstory.txt
Malware is of course a big reason why Flatpak is much better for app distribution (as opposed to say server component distribution) than Snaps — You can't mess with your system via Flatpak: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/05/ubuntu-snap-malware #flatpak #snap
Screw you, strncmp. :(
@hergertme Having picked up my first electric not too log ago, I'm appreciating how hackable they are!
@milan Hey there, if you can still reproduce the issue, please do file a bug so we can look into it, ta! https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary/ReportingABug
@masoud @ashkyd Yep it's Gravatar. We have a few bugs open about this, including support for libravatar, a libre alternative: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774603
@GucciPiggy You know if you felt like, it you could fill it out twice, one for each? There's some extra questions for piling and filing that would be interesting to know.
@GucciPiggy Yeah I probably should have had the option for both, in retrospect.
@GucciPiggy Always good to keep church and state apart. :)
