And yes, whoever uses #discord for #documentation and #versioning instead of a goddam #git [doesn't have to be @github / #GitHub or @gitlab / #GitLab or @Codeberg / #Codeberg or even @gitea / #Gitea - just use any git and write down your documentation in a useable format like #Markdown or goddamn ASCII plain text FFS] should be banned for life from #coding, working in #IT or contribute to #FLOSS.

  • Because it's literally worse than people shitting "#Ai" #Slop all over the place cuz that can be fixed faster and easier by backrolling said commits and banning the offender!

Welcome, DEVONthink 4.0 Copernicus! — Exactly twelve weeks after we published the first public beta, the beta phase is over! Here's our new DEVONthink generation with a slew of new features and improvements, from generative AI to versioning, audit-proof databases, a completely rewritten web interface, new automations and much, much more. #devonthink #devonthink4 #upgrade #update #ai #versioning #auditproof #automation #pressrelease devontechnologies.com/blog/202

At some point, you have probably worked on a text and created a duplicate to save its current state. For this purpose, DEVONthink offers document versioning. This is a backup mechanism that automatically creates versions of your document when you make edits. Here is a quick introduction to this useful feature. #devonthink #notetaking #versioning #safety #backup devontechnologies.com/blog/202

#WhatsMissing: a #TUI-based #Office #Suite using modern & lean file formats:

  • A #markdown-based #Layouting & #DesktopPublishing tool that can basically handle #LaTeX and spit out #HTML as well as #PDF

  • A #TSV (because #tabs are better than #spaves and people use commas if they follow Genevan Nomenclature of Mathematics; also it should just store data, not manipulate it (or even if it should only display the results when asked to and instead store the Function for the cell I.e. =A1*B1

  • A simple and elegant #presentation tool (may just be a few presets for the #Editor)…

  • A small and nifty #FormulaEditor that allows converting regular math formulas pleasingly by converting them into LaTeX - Syntax for use in said documents.
    Bonus points if it's also a scientific calculator with formula plotter supporting 2D and 3D outputs as well as export into tables.

  • A #database & #API tool that allows downloading, uploading, syncing and comparing #SQL and #NoSQL-DBs, their entries as well as queries.

  • A #notetaking tool that integrates with #git and allows both #versioning and #collaboration this way...

  • A minimalist #TUI menu that may also help setup #versioning (i.e. #git) and #collaboration (i.e. #Nextcloud) and #sync (i.e. #SFTP / #SSHFS, #SMB, Nextcloud, …) as well as other nice settings for most things.

  • A draw.io - alike #diagram editor that can handle #XML and also basic markdown as import & export language and has powerful self-layouting options.

  • A #terminal #screenshot tool alike the one The DOS compatibility card offered with #DOSCLIP ...

OF course given that (almost) all of this can be done with #neovim and a few other tools it's unlikely to get made...

Signed into my PC this morning, to see there's a new icon for WhatsApp for Windows.

In the past, I would've been, "Ooh! New version! I can't wait to find out what's new!"

But apps and sites like Twitter and WhatsApp for Windows and Facebook and stuff (and yes, even Mastodon) have made me very disillusioned over the years.

My first reaction to a new version of something is no longer childlike excitement and anticipation; my first reaction is, "Oh no, what have they fucked up this time? What super important thing have they changed now? To pander to non-technical people. To protect the users from themselves. To make things less customisable for hyper technical people like me to like to tweak every knob and turn every dial. What have they done to make my experience LESS enjoyable?" :P

Folks who do #SoftwareDevelopment. a question about #versioning

What do you do about your version files or identifiers on your repository in between releases?

What I mean is, let's say you have a release 1.5, and then you continue your development on your main branch.

But main is not yet ready for official tagging and release.

Do you keep the version in the repo as 0.5? Do you bump it to 0.6? Do you bump every single version (every commit?)

What is your best practice for this?

So this is one of the coolest things about Fedora Silverblue (apart from the excellent stability, speed, and gorgeous stock GNOME 42): the first entry you see is today’s operating system. The second one is yesterday’s. If I wanted to, I could revert to the latter with a single command.
