Finally landed a bunch of changes in JSON-GLib that I've been working off and on for the past three months, mainly dealing with proper JSON conformance.

Had to undo a lot of generic/extensible code in the tokeniser I lifted out of GLib, in order to get to a decent state; I've also added a whole conformance test suite to ensure that we don't deviate (too much) from RFC8259.

Can't wait to see bugs getting filed because the parser got stricter.

If I was godking I would introduce mandatory minimum sentences for anyone that bumps issues with “+1” or “hey is there an update on this issue that’s open for 3 years already and has 50 comments?”

one thing I learned from porting firefox away from a 10 year old deprecated GTK API, is that there are real people with setups worse than chatgpt could ever hallucinate about and a gazillion regressions for otherwise fixed problems.

Like this thing works fine on Cent OS 7, but not a the custom gentoo install with no cursor themes at all or Xcursros even.

Or for the other 5 people still using a bitmap cursor theme that was last updated 19 years ago.

I finally figured out how to fix the bluetooth stack on linux and it's pretty simple.

We just need to find an excuse to make systemd-bleutoothd.

Something like creating an OTP token on the computer and attesting the state with a separate device over the system over bluetooth or similar excuse.

I needed to sent my mother the password of the electricity bill. Apparently the autogenerated password contained :) in it.

Guess how many tries it took before the stupid messaging app stopped making an emoji out of it

@Migueldeicaza Hey! back in the twitter days I remember reading a twitter thread of your experiences meeting and dealing with Stallman during the early days. Do you know if that thread still exists in the post-X world?

I am kinda looking at documenting the “GNOME wasn’t ever really a gnu project” cause people still get that thing wrong, wikipedia too. Would be super grateful if you had any pointers or remember any Mailing list threads to reference.

The point of containers was never to need to proxy the fucking dbus and avahi socket into them.

All of you on the internet are fucking wrong and stupid. It doesn't even work anymore.

STOP DOING CONTAINERS

NETWORKING WAS BAD ENOUGH IN THE FIRST PLACE

I want to write a blog post or something documenting how using Flathub on Steam Deck desktop looks and works, but I don’t have a Steam Deck. Sounds like I just justified buying one!

(loljk still can’t justify it in the budget rn 😭)
