What languages are you wanting to use, the combination between toolkit and language can make a big difference to your experience.
There are a lot of interesting options out there that aren’t top of people’s minds too. For instance Lazarus, and Flutter. Both can do cross platform.
Used to use Xnest to do this. IDK how easy it still is these days.
Knoppix got Ubuntu halfway there.
It’s probably great for bulk as it gives you something close to what you would expect. I imagine it would be different for things that are specific to the lore, world, etc.
Could mean that there is a lot more detail in games, and a lot might even be unintentional.
Is it Space Odyssey?
The fact that is is from LA Times shows that it’s still significant though
Sounds like a regulatory solution is needed. The intersection where domestic policy impacts international.
As in part of a review process?
Things like:
Start using chatgpt to write the responses?
This.
Thanks to Meta BTRFS is apparently got/getting it to a certain extent too: https://youtu.be/6YIc2fVLVPU?si=ngiHWS0fw2zIHf2M
Back before the media decided it wasn’t a competitor but rather a potential profit source. I do think the government does need to have it’s own alternatives (obviously not identical more on this one day) for other reasons, such as for it’s own media releases, but more internationally coordinated appropriate & considered legislation is probably better.
This. Although I’m not sure if it’s about in-app display, but it needs to be on the store and on a website somewhere.
It’s fairly uncomplicated just flexible and without guide rails so you need to figure out how you want to represent it yourself. I’ve used a separate space for my links compared to everything else which is just in my ‘home’ space
I’ve been using AnyType for this starting a couple weeks ago.
I asked chatgpt to write a go program for this, this looks roughly correct (I have used both libraries before) obviously this won’t be enough for your particular use case. I imagine you can integrate an RSS feed to your site, however if you’re using something like hugo perhaps output it as a csv.
Super low effort but a good start I think:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"strings"
"time"
git "github.com/go-git/go-git/v5"
rss "github.com/jteeuwen/go-pkg-rss"
)
const (
timeout = 5 // timeout in seconds for the RSS feed generation
)
// Repository represents a git repository with its URL
type Repository struct {
URL string
}
// Repositories is the list of git repositories
var Repositories = []Repository{
{URL: "https://github.com/owner/repo1"},
{URL: "https://github.com/owner/repo2"},
// Add more repositories here
}
// FetchLatestTag fetches the latest tag from a git repository
func FetchLatestTag(repoURL string) (string, string, error) {
// Clone the repository to a temporary directory
dir, err := os.MkdirTemp("", "repo")
if err != nil {
return "", "", err
}
defer os.RemoveAll(dir)
_, err = git.PlainClone(dir, true, &git.CloneOptions{
URL: repoURL,
Progress: os.Stdout,
})
if err != nil {
return "", "", err
}
repo, err := git.PlainOpen(dir)
if err != nil {
return "", "", err
}
tags, err := repo.Tags()
if err != nil {
return "", "", err
}
var latestTag string
var latestCommitTime time.Time
err = tags.ForEach(func(ref *plumbing.Reference) error {
tag := ref.Name().Short()
commit, err := repo.CommitObject(ref.Hash())
if err != nil {
return err
}
if commit.Committer.When.After(latestCommitTime) {
latestCommitTime = commit.Committer.When
latestTag = tag
}
return nil
})
if err != nil {
return "", "", err
}
return latestTag, latestCommitTime.Format(time.RFC1123Z), nil
}
// GenerateRSS generates an RSS feed from the latest tags of the repositories
func GenerateRSS() string {
feed := rss.Feed{
Title: "Latest Tags from Git Repositories",
Link: &rss.Link{Href: "http://example.com/"},
Description: "This feed provides the latest tags from a list of git repositories.",
Created: time.Now(),
}
for _, repo := range Repositories {
tag, date, err := FetchLatestTag(repo.URL)
if err != nil {
log.Printf("Error fetching latest tag for repository %s: %v", repo.URL, err)
continue
}
feed.Items = append(feed.Items, &rss.Item{
Title: fmt.Sprintf("Latest tag for %s: %s", repo.URL, tag),
Link: &rss.Link{Href: repo.URL},
Description: fmt.Sprintf("The latest tag for repository %s is %s, created on %s.", repo.URL, tag, date),
Created: time.Now(),
})
}
var rssFeed strings.Builder
rssFeed.WriteString(xml.Header)
if err := feed.Write(&rssFeed); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error generating RSS feed: %v", err)
}
return rssFeed.String()
}
func main() {
rssFeed := GenerateRSS()
fmt.Println(rssFeed)
}
For another conversation I need some evidence of that, where did you find it?
Moved from Gentoo to Ubuntu in 2008 as I needed to focus more on my job, moved back to Gentoo in 2022. Snaps were part of it, but really the lack of maintenance and vision around the apt repository was really the issue. More and more I was installing stray debs, or having to use flatpaks / AppImages for what what I wanted the system to manage for me.
Not that I’ve entirely stopped using flatpaks or AppImages, but the process of creating an ebuild is far simpler than trying to do anything with a deb. For a while I had hope about the ppa, however that became fewer and fewer. I do think that the battle to have a comprehensive software repository is a loosing one because of the way things are currently structured.
