When you change longstanding placements of navigational links, esp a social media site, it really can screw up people that rely on #a11y #UI #GUI, like moving Notifications, probably the second most clicked link in #Mastodon from under Home to other placements down on the list.

I hope they reconsider this in the final V4.4.0 release. Keep Notifications in the number two spot.

I'm reading GitHub #34910, #34987, #35017, #34986, #35029, #35065, #35067 and #35072 to see reasoning

Kennt ihr das, ihr wollt Kollegen an Git ranführen, aber nicht in einem Hardcore-Entwickler-Kontext?

Mein Ansatz wäre, lasst sie in Ruhe mit der Kommandozeile und nehmt GitExtensions, VScode (bzw. VSCodium ;))...
Dann müsste genau das nur jmd. in ein paar Minuten gut erklären, ohne zu sehr auszuschweifen.

Das absolut perfekte Video hab ich noch nicht gefunden. Aber "Einführung in Git mit Visual Studio Code. Versionskontrolle leicht gemacht" (youtube.com/watch?v=7fIP5aM6hy)

I have spent a few evenings tinkering with the theming system of @novelwriter. The themes are defined in config files.

Since the Qt QColor object has a lighter(), darker() and alpha() modifier function, I added a way to refer to previously defined colours by name and with a L150 or D150 modifier here meaning 150% lighter or darker, and just a number for opacity from 0 to 255.

It makes it a lot easier to make themes!

Just adding a command/menu-button that draws a random ellipse with no bells or whistles. Using the #ecl compiler /outside/ of #emacs though with heavy emacs useage. I guess this follows up from my nothing-but-the-default-app example (I seem not to have uploaded!). I'm keeping the lisp image external to the emacs connection to its swank server as I indicated over here (screwlisp.small-web.org/moment). @jackdaniel

Minimal case of starting a #lisp #ecl image outside of emacs running common lisp interface manager, then connecting to the image from inside emacs - working with mcclim, closing emacs, the external lisp image with the gui created in emacs is still there. Party trick for days.

This is the necessary precedent for writing exciting using-clim-as-intended articles. Also I have an emacs folder now.
