It’s wild that just the thumbnail alone can tell you it’s vibe-coded.

What was you experience like? Did you use the built-in messaging? Did you feel that it respected your data privacy enough?

If you maintained one, did you have any major issues or concerns?

I’d love to have an alternative to fb marketplace but nothing seems to be as user-friendly to get people using it. I would love to eventually start a server if it is doable for a semi-capable person.

@ubersoft very distintive bill and a long neck. Not very clear from the picture but they way they keep their wings.

And I echo @lightweight's invitation to use talk.iridescent.nz, BigBlueButton was designed for exactly that sort of use case (presentation + moderated discussed).

@mcc @areactis if you mean the people who care about dignity of work/labor etc the. I completely agree, otherwise :shrugemoji:

@scentedmeat @noondlyt Yeah, they are in the pockets of the very rich people, that's what happens when you are in the hanging out in the same social clubs/bars/etc. as your rich donors, and your campaigns ALSO are dependent on those big donations and PACs.

@kiefac what the fuck is even this

I sometimes cheat and add things to the todo list after I’ve done them, so I can cross them off and feel accomplished!

I don’t remember hearing of it till now, yet it claims a lot of desired features. Github page shows only one contributor, one fork, 44 stars; lot of commits in the last week, oldest 3 years ago; GNU Affero General Public Licence v3.0.

@ThorsdaysChild looking forward to meeting you! You'll have to identify yourself to me 🙂

@heidilifeldman Agreed. We can walk and chew ass at the same time. Pass meaningful reform and start up the subpoena mill. Restore the ACA and get committees rolling. Pass bills repealing Citizens United. Roll call votes. Make Trump veto it. And make a fucking stink when he does. Expose Elon and the other oligarch class for what they are—the real welfare queens at the pig trough.

These objects have Render methods deferring to their inner objects, as well as (de)serialization methods (aided by a support library I've already studied) so it can be cached in the SD card.

That said PageImages might clear its background 1st.

Pages might traverse its tree to gather a histogram of required glyphs, & sort that transient array to prefetch them.

There's a RenderConfig struct specifying various text-layout parameters.

2/3?

As I described yesterday, Papyrix's page-cache can defer to logic for laying out paragraphs of plaintext into a layout/rendering tree. So what objects might a Papyrix layout be constructed from?

There's a PageElement superclass with x/y coordinates, as well as PageLine & PageImage subclasses both wrapping a block object. While a Page wraps an array of such elements.

There's a method to test whether any of those are PageImages, & a method to get min/max coords on both axis.

1/?

@GayDeceiver "He's greater than that which we can conceive."

"Him?"

Take a break before you need it. It will make it easier to prevent burnout.

There's a ParsedText class tracking an array of words & an array of their text-styles, the block's text style, indentation level & flag, hyphenation flag, greedy-breaking flag, & text-direction flag.

There's a helper checking if a word ends in certain latinate punctuation chars. A utility for locating all the soft-hyphen chars in a UTF-8 string alongside ones for removing them, checking if a word ends in one, or replacing the trailing one with a hard hyphen.

3/4?

To apply layout to a ParsedText object after some validation Papyrix tidies up after interrupted work looking for soft-hyphens to collapse, takes a shortcut for excessively long paragraphs, pre-hyphenates (via a helper with multiple branches/loops) words that are so wide they'll never fit, calculates the width of each word (via a helper & renderer method) taking into account indentation, runs one of 2 methods for the core logic, checks whether the work's aborted, & ...

5/5.2 For today!
