I think the people most worried about there being no “news” on FB or IG, etc. are the FB and IG addicts inside the news media itself.

Awesome indeed!

History repeats itself. 🙂

A small set of regular expressions can tokenize JSON text – that’s what lex helps with, for example. However regular expressions cannot truly parse anything.

I wonder how much learning about the Smalltalk programming environment would rock this guy’s world.

That guy must have lead a rather sheltered life, especially w.r.t. meeting other Lisp programmers!

Patent rights don’t apply to me as much – I live in Canada, and though it’s a bit more complicated than I let on here, we effectively don’t have software patents.

Personally I think a BSD license (or similarly an MIT license), is best at meeting your “primary” goals. Note the traditional BSD license does require attribution.

However your last goal is somewhat contradictory with your first goals, so choosing a matching existing license to combine this last goal is difficult.

Personally I’ve decided to use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License for my software (even though it is not strictly recommended for software). I attach my own specific terms, as seen here:

Return a tagged union, FTW.

I don’t actually use a desktop client for Matrix (I use Adium on my macOS desktop for other protocols/services, with its built-in support for OTR encryption).

Traditionally README files have been the plainest of plain text to facilitate their widest accessibility.

Markdown does seem to provide some opportunity for optional formatting without too much ugliness when viewed as plain text.

Too bad the code for it is bloated, ugly, and uses Qt and CMake. Not for me.

Doesn’t impress me much, but then again I’m not a C++ programmer – more like ANTI-C++!

Great to know there’s an effort ongoing to collect and promote all that info! I had no idea such a resource existed.

Seems it’s Android only for the moment? I’d prefer a desktop solution.
