@fleeky p2pweb 😅

@thisismissem Maybe it's my version of element that's off, but I'm not seeing an option to block accounts. :/ Just ignore (and if I'm a mod, kick/ban).

K, I'm gonna finally bite the bullet and try out a new linux distro. This time I'm thinking of doing a full 180 from Pop OS and going with Monjaro with KDE Plasma.

Hopefully it won't be too much of a pain in the ass to set up all my tooling and shortcuts again.

I wish Matrix "ignores" were double sided so the people I ignore don't see my posts either. Some channels just have generally toxic or dangerous people in there and it'd be nice to have tools to avoid them.

@makeworld Imo it's a distraction reactionairies use to stop people talking about how local landlords (and corps) are squeezing renters dry. Plays well with how sinophobia is in vogue these days and a popular scapegoat for domeatic failings.

Programming user interfaces is so much more complicated than "backend" work.

Understanding the bulk of most p2p or server systems has been pretty easy compared to complex graphical applications with stuff like UI animations or dynamic layout systems.

@bengo Thank goodness!

This visual programming thing is neat. It's called "unit" and it's the slickest version of the concept I've seen so far.

Mobile support isn't amazing, but it's better than others.

Heres a video going over some features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwknTfGVDq8

Here's the source repo: https://github.com/samuelmtimbo/unit

Gonna dig in a more to see if I can mix the #p2p web stuff I've been into into the mix.

@GeeksLoveDetail Could defs use it as a 3d mind map.

What's cool is you can add in live coding into the mix so you can have your mind map input and output data from URLs or the such.

@GeeksLoveDetail Oh wait I figured it out!

You need to supply all of the parameters in order for it to execute. 😁

@GeeksLoveDetail yeah, I'm still not convinced myself. No clue how I'm supposed to be triggering this request.

@GeeksLoveDetail Apparently it's a live visual programming environment. :P

Yeah, not sure *what* I'm doing, but it almost looks like something?

@technobaboo Wow that looks fancy as hell. What are they actually using this stuff for?

Honestly, I just want to do my usual programming but using flow based stuff on a touchscreen instead of a mouse and keyboard.

@alexwykoff I haven't tried it yet, but it's on the TODO list.

Honestly, it's very much scratch-like. Personally I found those flavors a lot less visually appealing, but I should really give it a go before knocking it.

Found a list with a bunch of these things. Gonna go through and check them out. https://github.com/wbkd/awesome-node-based-uis

The coolest looking and least understandable one is https://ioun.it/ so far. :P

For some reason they decided to use their own software defined keyboard instead of allowing the Android keyboard to pop up.
