DC Member Programs and Projects / Re: groffstudio: An IDE for the GNU troff typesetting system.

« on: February 16, 2025, 08:03 PM »

FWIW, 0.14.1 has been out for a while:

[Changed] New icon, slightly less awful.
[Bugfix] On macOS, groffstudio printed debug output where it shouldn't.
[Bugfix] Preprocessors did not quite work as well as they should have.

I am very kind to someone who complains to Mouser about me because he only demands religious tolerance from others but is not prepared to show tolerance towards other people himself.

I have also withdrawn my software for NANY 2025 (see post #2) and I do not wish to have another conversation with you or I will indeed have to become unkind. This is a waste of time for me.

I'm not understanding, I want you to stay on dc.

-relipse (December 16, 2024, 02:53 PM)

I am not - and I never was - interested in a version of DonationCoder where

• commercial software without an exception for home users is tolerated and
• religious fanatics believe that their religion is above artistic freedom.

You can't find it in your heart to change your profile picture?

-relipse (December 16, 2024, 02:53 PM)

I will no longer submit to people who want to turn their own religion into a problem for other people. You stay, I'll go, you have your peace and I have mine.

What do you honestly think of Jesus that you won't change it?

-relipse (December 16, 2024, 02:53 PM)

I couldn't care less about your prophet, my friend. Your religion is not my religion.

Keep up the good work, relipse. Welcome back, I'm out.

It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what.

(Stephen Fry, The Guardian, 5 June 2005)

Your religion is not more important than any other religion. Be that as it may: I take note of the fact that you are spreading nothing but anger here, presumably as ‘revenge’ for the fact that I pointed out the essentials of this website to you. If, after all these years, any member of the DonationCoder team suddenly gets the idea that not only commercial software is tolerated here, but also that my established avatar picture has to make way, I would ask for my account and all posts to be deleted. Then this is no longer the DonationCoder I signed up for and enjoyed participating in.

The whole point of this site is that all our software is free for home users. I'm positive that mouser has actually written (some of) the FAQ I linked above.
You have been here long enough to be familiar with what DonationCoder is, one would think.

Relipse, I encourage you to read the FAQ and then either remove the “freemium” license or both of your NANY submissions. They grossly violate everything DonationCoder stands for.

Quote, highlighted by yours truly:

All of the software hosted on our website can be used freely for personal use without restriction to time or functionality.

(Technically, they are not “hosted” on DonationCoder. But I surely hope that they’re not welcome here either.)

On the bright side, the runtime is standardized and already installed on the device

-paradisusvic (September 30, 2024, 05:46 PM)

A runtime...

But that'll be better discussed in a separate thread. This is NANY.

« on: August 27, 2024, 04:31 PM »

I have thought about parallelized downloads. The problem is that

• the package I use for accessing URLs - ureq - is deliberately kept small, and it probably won't work well. I could probably move back to reqwest, increasing the technical dependency debt by quite a few fjerghillion bytes, but I don't think I would like that ..., and
• I'm not sure how reliable my selfmade progress display (using a non-selfmade progress bar renderer, but that's not the point  ) would be with parallel downloads.

Ok, the problems are that...
So, I'm aware of the bottleneck "single-connection downloads", but fixing that is not easy if I want to keep yaydl lean and mean.

General Software Discussion / Re: Eudora, Hermes and Pandora - also compared to TheBat! and other email clients

« on: August 26, 2024, 05:02 AM »

Wouldn't it make more sense to call it "Eudoramail 9.0"? After all, Eudora 8.0 were the first releases of what later was named Eudora OSE.

Furthermore, it is competitively priced and offers a more affordable alternative compared to options like The Bat! or Pandora.

-nmatavka (October 30, 2023, 01:02 PM)

This, however, is a false statement. Pandora is US$ 14.00 per release (= major versions, not updates). "Eudoramail 8.0" is four Pandoras.

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: Mesh Editor (Text / Code Editor)

« on: August 14, 2024, 05:00 AM »

There is Zed. AI helper included. And a lot of other features that may prove to be very useful for projects that involve more than one developer. Available for free on Linux and MacOS. They seem to be working on a Windows version as well, They do provide the source and instructions to build it yourself on Windows.

-Shades (August 13, 2024, 08:27 PM)

Ah well, if an "AI helper" was the most interesting part of a text editor  , GNU Emacs can use LLaMA (see the screencasts!) for whatever you want to throw at it.  Zed looks nice, but its features have not convinced me, last time I checked. But you know, the grass on the other side of the fence...

Living Room / Re: Do good mice still exist? Looking for recommendations.

« on: August 13, 2024, 08:21 AM »

Most of the mice I've had so far were Logitechs, including my first one (the good old Pilot Mouse). What they (almost) all had in common was that the left mouse button had hardly any resistance within a few months, which is of course nonsense for a mouse. For the first time, I have a new problem: I've been using a Logitech G402 for a few years (after all!) - and its right mouse button is now weak. 

I seriously consider getting a SteelSeries mouse next, hoping that the modern "gaming" mice will be more resistant.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Super simple idea, possibly hard to implement

« on: August 10, 2024, 09:25 PM »

A modular approach would probably work (and is a good idea for most applications, actually), but if we limit the subset of supported applications to those which have a sane definition of (and sufficient ways to highlight) "text", the result will likely not really cater TotalFanboy's needs wishes.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Super simple idea, possibly hard to implement

« on: August 08, 2024, 05:55 AM »

That would be pretty hard to implement indeed, given that "all opened applications" can be web browsers, 3D games, file managers, text editors... all of them have a different definition of what "text" is.
