Chess involving a rubber duck aka chess for programmers!

#FairMail just got discontinued.

As announced by the developer himself, he stopped maintaining all of his apps. All of the repositories are archived and apps were pulled from the Play Store.

Appeal response: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/closed-app-5-0-fairemail-fully-featured-open-source-privacy-oriented-email-app.3824168/page-1087#post-86909811

This is a big problem with the Play Store, and one of the reasons I don't like it: you never know when your app is going to be literally yeeted the fuck out of there.

Many good apps were pulled from there, with no support nor any regarding for the life of the people that earn money with this model.

Apple is no different, it just doesn't publish your app directly if you don't comply with its guidelines.

I don't know if Marcel will ever read this, but I'm really sorry that you had to end this. I used FairMail in the past and it was a great app, very well crafted. Thank you for your work!

On a side note, read also this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/closed-app-5-0-fairemail-fully-featured-open-source-privacy-oriented-email-app.3824168/page-1087#post-86909365

That is the balance of the experience of the person behind FairMail.

To be honest, people should really appreciate more programmers that spend their (free) time working on software that respects privacy and freedoom other apps do not.

See if the Gmail app does the same. It does not.

I really hope he recovers from this at some point of his life, because this might be a very depressing situation.

This thunderstorm in is the perfect imbridus ambiance .

Totally agree.

I think codeberg would just fracture the whole thing. Its probably best you're sticking to SourceHut resources and media bins (catbox.moe).

But I'm not convinced that PGP is so wonky just because it is trying to do something hard. PGP, remember, is 30 years old, and dramatically under-resourced. When Snowden used PGP to contact journalists with his disclosures, the tool he used had a single, half-time volunteer maintainer:

He returns! 🎺 I'm glad you we're able gain a new perspective and attitude towards Husky dev. Welcome back.

Also, about certain bug reporters having trouble sending multimedia via plaintext email, what are you thoughts on opening a dedicated Matrix channel? Maybe with a "multimedia only" rule, to not fracture discussion.

Thanks for sharing. I might try it out, but I usually have YouTube already open in some way or another for things besides music.

I also use tilderadio.org a lot.

@yyp
The way you've described it, I've had pretty much the same vision for a while. "sourcehut-like", minimal, modular, etc.

I prototyped my server in Go. Nothing much yet.

We should definitely collaborate.

@yyp
Same, for a long time. What's your vision for it?

Dare to write it in ?

Would you write a full JSON-LD implementation for completeness?

@metalune@fosstodon.org
This would be amazing.

@metalune@fosstodon.org
Looks great :)
And thanks for making simple-web.org

I'd also say that with the heading and spacing between sections, you really only need a slight contrast if any to help visually define sections, even if by itself this colour contrast wouldn't be enough.

@metalune@fosstodon.org
No yeah, I understand :) Accessibility is most important. And let me clarify that I consider my choice of colours both aesthetic and accessible, unless a guideline would suggest otherwise.

@metalune@fosstodon.org
Alright. I asked because I didn't want to presume. Perhaps I should have asked, are you in a dark room right now? But either way.

I find the contrast suitable personally.

Generally, darker shades need less contrast than lighter shades, since brightness is quadratic.

If there are guidelines, perhaps that's a better thing to follow. Though I still hold my opinions :)

@metalune@fosstodon.org
Are you in a brighly lit room right now?

@metalune@fosstodon.org
Just saw them. Looks great. If you want me to nitpick:

- Your blue tinge is gone. It was nice. #111 was a recommendation.
- The cards can be darker.

Color recommendations:

body #101316
section

@metalune@fosstodon.org
It's the least concerning of my changes. I don't mind too much about them.

The equi-padded look seems a little typographically off. That's all. The cards don't align with the rest of the visual body, and the text is too close to the side of the card.
