How many authors have their contributions in #curl product source code? How many have had their previous work completely removed. Over time.

The first #curl release with code present authored by 200 persons was done in 2015-04-22. In that release, we had already removed all traces of contributions from 20 authors.

In the latest release, 604 authors' code is still present. 171 authors' work have been replaced.

@bagder I guess the "removed all traces" part is on lines most recently changed by the author, shown by git blame. So refactoring work could remove a persons contribution while their work is still providing value to curl.

I just searched for something on and got a โ€œDuckAssistโ€ at the top of the results, right below the ads (of course).

It was basically a ChatGPT like message as if Iโ€™d typed the question there.

@kev it seems like a very short sighted feature from the search engines perspective. If no one has to go to the websites, then people will have no reason to create websites with the answers, and then the AI canโ€™t get the answer.

The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them.

mrFred489,
@mrFred489@fosstodon.org avatar

@ploum @davidrevoy Can you explain which negative consequences you see from this? All the data they will get is public, so they could get it anyways. I donโ€™t think that they can really manipulate the users of the fediverse through activity pub. Moderation may be worse, but there are laws enforcing some moderation, so it canโ€™t be completely bad. If it really is, activity pub could possibly be extended to allow moderation of other instances instead of complete blocks.

    sshx lets you share your terminal with anyone by link, on a multiplayer infinite canvas. It has real-time collaboration, with remote cursors and chat.

    It's also fast and end-to-end encrypted, with a lightweight server written in Rust (so you know it's cool).

    @changelog this is really cool, but I am struggling to see a real use case for it. Could anyone enlighten me?

    (Fediverse survey post, asking people to click on a web link to a Mastodon post and say what their app does with it.)

    UPDATE: Aaaarrgghhhhhhh! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I had a number of people asking me for clarification of the poll, so I edited option wording, but this caused it to reset the responses to zero. I am so sorry! ๐Ÿฅด

    The latest figures before I messed this up were this:

    About 75% of people clicking on a link to a Mastodon post saw it displayed a normal post, 25% saw it displayed in a browser window.

    Now this is pretty cool!

    Whenever you set the Region, whether with C-SPC (โ€set-mark-commandโ€) or a mouse selection, or implicitly with textual
    object mark commands (like M-h (โ€mark-paragraphโ€)), the Markโ€™s current location is pushed onto the Mark Ring. The Mark is
    also set for you automatically at places where youโ€™ve done โ€œsignificantโ€ things, like changing text, moving a long way
    away in one big jump (there being many ways to do this), the spot where you issued a search command, and the like, and
    these locations also go onto the Mark Ring.

    Thus a breadcrumb trail of Marks is left for you to find your way back, Theseus-like, to where youโ€™ve been, and provides
    a quick way to get back to these previous locations. The way to jump back to the previous Mark location is to give C-SPC
    (โ€set-mark-commandโ€) an argument, so C-u C-SPC. It also rotates the Mark Ring, so that a repeated, uninterrupted sequence
    of C-u C-SPC commands will take you back in time through your previous Mark locations. The Mark Ring is a circular
    structure, so when you hit the end, youโ€™ll circle round to the most recent Mark location again. Youโ€™ll notice the
    analogies to the operation of the Kill Ring.

    @devinprater Thank you! I didnโ€™t know about C-u C-spc. I have occasionally been frustrated that I had overridden a previous mark, but not frustrated enough to research how to use them properly.

    I understand transpose-char, transpose-word, and transpose-sexp in

    I don't understand transpose-lines. (C-x C-t)

    It doesn't seem to drag along what I expect.

    mrFred489,
    @mrFred489@fosstodon.org avatar

    @ctietze for me it drags along the line above the cursor. I agree that that seems counterintuitive.

    One of the nicest community features on medium and small servers is the Local timeline, which shows all public posts by people on that server.

    You can see this on Mastodon's website interface by clicking "Local", or on the official Mastodon app by clicking the magnifying glass ๐Ÿ” and then "Community".

    If you want to see the Local timeline of other servers, you can usually go to their website and click "Local". Also some apps support viewing them, such as Fedilab, Subway Tooter and Ice Cubes.

    It seems like a very nice feature of the fediverse to be able to switch between the federated content and the local instance content. Especially for users on more specialised instances about fx. art.

    The new app, @radiant also supports the local timeline.
