Any graphical #KDE apps out there that support the system #calendar that aren't based on Kontact? I find it uses like 2 gigs of ram when idle for no reason I can see.
Tried using Evolution but it keeps getting GNOME related errors on Steam OS and it's Plasma UI. Others seem to rely on GNOME features too or are proprietary 😭
visualizing both the origin of data and the interconnectedness of data seems like a hard to challenge.
have you tried drawing up some interface ideas already?
maybe having two modes where you start by exploring the data as is but then can toggle seeing where the data comes from and a separate network graph for interconnected peers be useful

There is no honor in making others struggle solely because you did. Persevering through difficulty is worth celebrating, but is often worth even more if you can lessen the burden for those who come after you, especially those less fortunate, less privileged. That way lies glory.
@technobaboo Love em! When they were first released I was like "Whoa, you can do that?!"
Sadly I haven't had a chance to use them in my projects since I'm usually interfacing with other libraries that have their own opinions on serialization.
@hanbzu There's a lot of approaches with different tradeoffs and I like exploring what folks have done and seeing how it applies to my work. :) Especially when it comes to stuff like content addressing or schemas. Just something I've had to dig into a lot throughout my career.
@cblgh it's fun! I' actually wearing my Rokid Max now so I can do some work on my steam deck in the park.
@jonny how big a graph? :o
I'm generally not a huge "fan" of things but I like to imagine that people care about what movie is "the best" about as much as I care about approaches to data serialization.
it's really hard to talk to folks about my interests 😬
Wish I could set my mastodon timeline on "shuffle" so I could see stuff accross all time or engagement levels :o
@jonny eh, I generally look like an alien when I go out so I usually don't care as much. Also! Putting them over your chest or or your back is underrated 🥰
@jonny bruh I walk around with at least one or two fanny packs on. I have specialized ones for different occasions :P
K... what if... native apps but open data models with interop.

I have no opinion on the technical feasibility of “web environment integrity” but the weaselly justifications of it are offputting enough in themselves.
“Users want advertisers to know that they are real humans” — no, *advertisers* want to know that users are real humans. But nobody would find that persuasive because everyone rightly hates ads on the web, so it's clumsily reframed as being in the user's interests.

Alt-text is really a big cultural differentiator for Mastodon. Twitter has it, but it's pretty rare to see people use it. Threads doesn't have it at all! And with regards to scicomm specifically, it's a perfect example of how accessibility improves the experience for everyone. I can break down a dense, hard to understand figure that people with vision would still find confusing. To me, alt-text is a non-negotiable requirement of good science communication.

I wish people would apply the vitriol and vigor they showed over those little MDN LLM help buttons to Google DRMing and fully closing their grasp on the open web and killing browser choice

This is scary. It's (strong) SafetyNet for websites.
Every now and then I run into another Android app I can no longer run because someone decided my phone, running an official build of my choice of OS, that isn't even rooted, is "not trustable".
Now they want to start doing that for websites.
This kills open Linux on the desktop (including Asahi Linux). It kills alternative browsers. It is a backdoor to kill ad blockers.
No. Just no. Please.

I'm not saying I'd illegally keep a raccoon as a pet but I am saying that if one enters my home by choice & wants to take over the spare room with raccoon-sized furniture, it would be impolite to make them leave.

Spending a ton of money to advertise my "I heart ad blockers" shirts but the ads don't seem to be reaching their target audience for some reason.
@cblgh yeah I generally wouldn't cast something that I couldn't handle being cast on me for similar reasons :P
