Just €6000 to go…

Scratch that: less than €3000 only 12 hours after I posted “least than €6000 to go.”

Scratch that: it’s fully funded!

More than 30 days left to fundraise to make the queer gtld .meow even better!

Not exactly sure how my code using this library can get a reproduble "dns error" in line 23 when trying to find a room when it connected to that server just fine in line 17.

Writing a very simple bot with the Rust Matrix SDK has not been fun so far.

The more Rust I write the more I question the existence of Option. It could have been Ok/Err(None) instead and I would never ever mix up Ok and Some.

Disliking most fonts gets me in the comfortable position never having to think about buying one.

I've just checked out a #Clojure project I last worked on thirteen years ago, compiled it, ran its unit tests, and they all passed. I then ran `lein ancient upgrade :check-clojure` to upgrade all the dependencies to their latest versions, ran the unit tests again, and they all passed.

I did get one 'deprecated' warning. I can live with that!

It's not stability that I came to Clojure for, but it's a feature I really appreciate.

Say 'no' to bit rot!

Funny 4 panel comic by War and Peas about Ivan Pavlov. 1. Panel: A housekeeper rings a bell and calls out: "Mr. Pavlov, dinner is ready!" 2. Ivan Pavlov jumps out of a door and shouts: "That's great, Irma!" 3. He is sitting at a bare table and realizes: "Wait, Irma, there's no food." 4. Panel: Irma pulls her own head off her shoulders and you can see that it was just a mask. Underneath is a dog that screams angrily: "How the tables have turned, Mr. Pavlov!" Other aggressive dogs surround him. It's their revenge at last.

When I set out to write a simple Rust program for Windows that catches global hotkeys I was not prepared for the amount of half-baked, badly documents, and... number of crates that all do some things, but none of them seems great so far.
