📦 DeclarativeTextKit for #Swift
https://github.com/CleanCocoa/DeclarativeTextKit

I wrapped the current state of things up in a release.

For a 1.0 I want to not only support undo/redo, but use the default undo system which is tied to an NSWindow that a text view may be presented in

In other news, the cold water faucet in our kitchen began to sputter.

Sounds very much like when you turn on the water mains connection after installing a new faucet and the air is being pushed out.

I wouldn't know where the air would come from, or where the water that should be in its stead went to.

My Mac survived the update from macOS 14.3.1 to 14.5 so far.

It’s so difficult (and expensive) to run a server for my own domain. Is it worth it?

I started out wanting to support Matrix, and I've set up a number of channels for my community on Matrix, but everything happens on Discord and IRC right now, and we have a bridge between Discord and IRC, but we can't bridge to Matrix at the moment, so is it even worth it to keep maintaining a separate Matrix presence?

If not, I’m just gonna shut it down. I don’t want to spend the money.

Part 3 in this series: defining a vocabulary and a simple grammar in the Domain-Specific Language using Swift Result Builders, a very generic protocol called "Expression", and very concrete Expression-conforming types.

📦 Swift Package:

FastSpring In-App Purchases
https://christiantietze.de/posts/2024/05/swift-package-fastspring-in-app-purchase/

Simplify selling licenses from your indie apps outside of the Mac App Store with this custom store package.

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@helge yes, it uses the Embedded Store web frontend which IIRC wasn't available when you released yours. The license code is gathered from order completion payload (JSON).

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@bwebster @helge do reach out if you need help migrating or talk things through!

I also have a Classic storefront for my first 2 apps but essentially phased them out one after another.

This package will be the nail in the coffin for the last app that relies on the Classic in-app store

I'm reading Naomi Fisher's book "Changing Our Minds: How Children Can Take Control of Their Own Learning." The discussions of adult self-directed learning and also Peter Gray's theory about (play + curiosity) * sociability = learning reminds me of how much I like the community.

@sachac is the book also interesting for parents? Asking for soon-to-be ones :)

I don't want to start a political discussion.

I wonder, "philosophically" more or less, though, what kind of incentives are missing for so many people.

Context: There are very loud (maybe majority, maybe minority) voices that want to ban a party that is considered "right wing" in the traditional sense.

Problem: If you ban the existence of a group that many people associate with, what outlet will they look for, next?

Is there an attractive alternative so they can participate somewhere else?

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

Worry: Escalation. In both directions. Ban this, protest there, ban that, eventually you need a strong police state to suppress this, and one slippery slope later, all dissent is suppressed.

I have no clue where to invite anyone to, because the current system is not very appealing to participate in. I tried party politics ~15 years ago. It was boring, brain-washing, and felt like a waste of time. Can't say that this is an attractive alternative.

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@clafou I would call a group exactly that if it was that homogenous.

Weird old family members get confused and cherry-pick the stuff they like from the party. Not ever line is destruction and fire and brimstone; some sound innocent enough. Being selective in one's interpretation doesn't help there. Family members are acting stupid (benefit of the doubt), or maybe they even are shitheads.

@daniel @uliwitness I do understand the "punch a Nazi in the face" thing. I'm certain that humans can be tolerant, and intolerant, and I believe they can choose to be one or the other.

I don't believe that a nation state can do this, or a political system. "Tolerance" in that context is a metaphor, a humanization of a larger-than-human social system.

I'll stop there because I'm too brainwashed by my education to not think in certain systemic terms, and I'm aware they don't help in conversation

@mattiem the (to me) sad consequence of this is:

If a democracy is sufficiently 'vaccinated' against movements that want to undo it in a structural way,

is then the only way ever to make a structual change to riot and overthrow the government completely, likely with violence?

I don't want to overthrow anything. But simplified, if 10% feel discontent with 'everything' today, and nobody wins them over, will it need a violent 40+% before they are heard at all?

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@uliwitness @daniel That makes sense. I read the tolerance part too literally and got confused in this context. @mattiem gave this a structural drift that goes into the same direction.

Thanks y'all for chiming in 💗

ctietze,
@ctietze@mastodon.social avatar

@clafou thank you, but also not needed I believe: I'm not dealing with outright fascists :) it's more like confused, angry, or anxious simple people. They can be talked to.

The inclination is frightening: to reach for anything that's different and promises more than is possible to uphold, while lashing out to spread violence or hate.

I can see how they, too, would dissolve into an anonymous mass of 'them'. Giving a few of them a face makes the discussion more humane, IMHO

@ctietze TableFlip Looks like a fun app that solves a real problem (learned about it with your conversation with @tantramar just now). Question from testing - my table headings look centered, but the Markdown on export is not. And the option to center text is greyed out when on the column headings. Expected behavior?

@podfeet I'm not at my desk a.t.m., can you share a picture so I can look on Monday?

@podfeet I see! I'll fix that. Does using the alignment options in cells below the heading line work?
