  • Those 3 are all fairly similar. Here are some others I can think of:

    • Gitlab: many features, complex, pr workflow.
    • Forgejo / Gogs: simpler, github inspired interface, pr workflow.
    • Radicle: peer to peer, idk much more…
    • Sourcehut: minimal (non-github) interface, very modular, email workflow.
    • Cgit / Gitweb / etc.: just a git interface, no specific workflow.

     

    If you’re not using any of the additional features, cgit should be enough. If you’re planning on collaborating with others, probably Forgejo would be better.

    You can also use individual components of sourcehut, if you want a git web interface with just issue tracking, ci, or wiki, for example.



  • When you install whatsapp, if you deny it permission to access your phone number, or if it doesn’t find one, it allows you to enter a phone number manually. It then sends a confirmation text with a code to verify the number, just like any other website.

    I used an old (non-smart) phone with a burner sim to receive the confirmation text.














  • It’s gradually getting there. The settings redesign was introduced a few versions ago, and the online content menu redesign will hopefully land in the next version (and potentially replace the current content tab after that). I agree that the main menu redesign might be a while away though.


  • I believe it is the implementation of the tick system in Mesecons (which VoxeLibre redstone is based on) that is the issue, and I agree it makes it nearly useless. It is absolutely an issue with the mod, not the engine, but would probably require a big rewrite of the mod to fix (not that I’m familiar with the actual implementation of mesecons).



  • That is interesting. WASM seems like it’s just a replacement for the TrueType hinting language (which is already a VM). So I guess it’s benefiting from a more standardised and audited virtual machine.

    It’s also fairly limited to what it can do (source):

    you can influence the process of mapping a string of characters into an array of glyphs, you can determine how those glyphs are positioned and their advance widths, but you cannot manipulate outlines, variations, line breaks, or affect text layout between texts of different font, variation, language, script or OpenType feature selection

    I don’t see how the mentioned future drawing API will fit into that though.
