Is there some language or “syntax formatter” that turns source code into something more off a visual programming language? Like a WYSIWYG markdown editor.
Like python doesn’t have curly braces, but you could add some kind of “block illustration”.
Or you could have illuminated initials for variable names to make them more unique.
I recently thought about what I’m missing, and came up with something rather complicated (sorry, nothing simple haha)
Basically I’m often compiling information in markdown text files. But images are still web hosted. Sometimes I use spreadsheets and wish I could do simple additions in markdown tables. Or I use bookmarks, but know websites will go down and wish I could just “backup” any website in a compact file and organize it without mucking around with files. Zotero does this partly. I also use “SingleFile” to save websites but it would be nice if it was something semi-compatible to web-archive. Or maybe just save a stripped down version of an article like you see in “reader view” on Firefox. And of course usable in both desktop and mobile.
I do think Project Jupyter does something like this and there are also other note taking apps.
Overall the state of computer science in 2025 is still deplorable. The very basics of storing data still don’t have good solutions.
But that is a bonus, less people will bother me haha
Nah you’d have a chimney. The main reason I want a “separating drying toilet” is that it would have a fan and wouldn’t smell at all in your bathroom. And you’d probably also have a separating toilet as first step, then dehydration which can be closed cycle, and then either burning or compositing. And with that and biodegradable soap and detergents, sanitation becomes much less infrastructure intensive.
The only thing smart I want is a faucet that activates with button OR the knee / foot sensor, and gives water always with a precise programmed temperature and flow.
That and a temperature and timer controlled frying pan.
Well an incinerating toilet that just dries burns my shit using a 340W solar panel would be cool too.
I guess any used android smartphone should have plenty of apps. Then you can even have video com
What is “media freeze”?
Can I use a seedbox to host videos for peertube?
What’s ABI? API compatible with linux kernel? EDIT: Never mind, Application binary interface
And what’s TCB?
F-Droid doesn’t have e.g. organic maps because it’s against their religion or something.
Just tried it. Compared to OsmAnd it’s very easy to use.
But only seems to have vector and offline maps.
this is the first time I hear about Accrescent: is it this App store?
yes, thats the one. It’s relatively new, and the new default app store in GrapheneOS.
Can it use github like Obtainium does?
I wish there was an “app app” that is just a curated list of app name, description, link to github / other git / fdroid rep / download link, ratings. Could be a formatted markdown fie. Have forks of this list that different people can extend and you can subscribe to different trusted curators with something like version control. Ideally P2P without a central server. Why is it so complicated?
Sure. But loosing the money to fund development surely won’t help, will it? My point is that there is a real danger here. There are other forces at play which is why you have the chrome dominance already. Long term firefox will fall behind if not maintained. There really needs to be a push to finance firefox or alternatives.
Or imagine if more and more websites “require” some new web protocol to prevent ad blocking, or use of DMCA against browsers or addons altering websites as “web apps”. This is another problem that cannot be solved through individual responsibility.
But Firefox is about to loose it’s funding because google is a monopoly lol
Hmm. The initial drama seems bullshit, starting a huge fight over the word “craftsmanship” is just hypersensitive at best or toxic behavior to manufacture outrage at worst. A gender neutral terms would be preferable but hardly the biggest issue right now.
But since “uncle bob” supports Trump then that alone is enough to condemn him as a supporter of fascism and bigotry.
That would be great. In addition to this, I’d like something that combines bookmarks and something like zotero, so I bookmark something and create a locally hosted web archive. Ideally saving what is already loaded by the browser. So if the bookmark site dies I still have my archive including all images.
Ideally this could also improve coverage of webarchive through p2p.
Ah thanks for explaining, I somehow missed that. So technically AMD is in breach of contract with the author, but could still sue the author or user. Weird.
A bit of a side tangent, but there are many projects and code stuff where the company no longer plans to use it commercially and that might as well be open sourced. Most of all computer games. There are many older computer games where they could release the source code for people to play with and do modifications and improvements. The overall copyright could still be with the company.
Huh, I’m confused. I believe once they make it open source and grand a license to modify and distribute you can’t “take it back”. That version should be open source forever.
Did nobody fork the damn thing? :D
No somthing more than just “mere” syntax highlightinng or prettifying like e.g. in VS Code. Being able to change line height for a “headline” when you declare a new class. Or maybe lines that illustrate how a temp variable is used. But it’s all vague ideas and I can’t picture or describe it well and you’d have to demo this with a graphical design tool I think.
