How about a configuration format that is actually format agnostic? Something like this:

#! /bin/env fancy-file-format
26m2zKqSa... (some binary data)

Then you just run it like that 🤯

# Print data as JSON
./config.fff --format json

# Write data from YAML
echo "so = true" | ./config.fff --format yaml

# Edit data as temporary TOML file
./config.fff --format toml --edit

Installing FOSS apps on your phone sometimes certainly feels like an eternal XKCD 927 purgatory.

- Apps by GrapheneOS for some GrapheneOS apps (and assorted ✨other✨ apps.
- Obtainium for installing apps directly from source/repos.
- Neo Store for installing apps who cannot be arsed to have .apk files in their repos (#AntennaPod), yet without dealing with the typical F-Droid shenanigans.
- Accrescent, because hell, why not! The more, the merrier!
- And, of course, Google Play Store for the corporate goblins.

"[The standard] calls for a total of 12 scales [...]: types A, B, C, D, DO, E, M, O, OO, OOO, OOO-S, and R."

This is the kind of thing that makes non-engineers look sideways at #engineers. It even started well! A, B, C, D, E ... before it went off the rails.

I don't like the general idea in #xkcd927.

Obviously biased, but I don't remember making an automation that would not _bring more benefits than what was the cost_ (note the careful wording here).

@irfan Honestly we need some kind of RFC or W3C standard or something for file sharing. There are so many different standards it's quite ridiculous

But will def have to give KDE Connect a try!

I wonder what would happen if KDE Connect and Syncthing had a proverbial baby?

Delta Chat may be criticized for not being the most secure messenger in some sense or not the most feature rich. When it comes to interoperability, however, our efforts and collaborations are the biggest game in town, no? The two biggest sets of internet standards revolve and operate at massive scale around E-Mail and the Web. Our approach fully engages and takes up these extremely impactful sets of standards, and reliably rewires them into a modern UI #deltachat #webxdc #chatmail #xkcd927

Was mich jedes mal wieder total irritiert: Dass im Fediverse User von der Domain mit »@« getrennt wird. Bei Matrix aber mit »:«. Jedes Mal, wenn ich wen bei Matrix anschreibe find ich nix, weil ich das @ verwendet habe…

Kann man da nicht einen neuen Standard einführen? Zum Beispiel sieht »‡« doch ganz hübsch aus! #xkcd927

@travisr Cool! I only heard of MIMI for the first time this week. Looking forward to your talk, it sounds interesting!

I bet some of the first questions that pop into people's minds are:
1) How is MIMI not yet another XMPP
2) How is MIMI not yet another Matrix
3) In general, how does this not suffer from #xkcd927

Have you or someone else already given a talk or written a blogpost that addresses those concerns? I'd like to get a head start until February. =)
