I’m not sure a view or opinion can be correct or incorrect though except by general consensus

Absolutely things being presented as facts that are just incorrect should be blown out of the water immediately but everyone’s entitled to their opinion whether it’s well founded or not imo, censoring that’s just gonna drive them into echo chambers where they’ll never get the opportunity for someone to change their mind

I’m still of the opinion all of these viewpoints should be heard out at least once even if you dismiss them immediately

Did it get taken down or something?

Easy way to verify, ask it about vaccines

It was going so well until it started talking about white privilege and the Holocaust…

It’s good enough and everyone has it and knows it

I’m not about to even attempt to ask someone in a game if they’ve got matrix because the answer is going to be no

Discord’s own Linux client is kinda ass and keeps breaking my build using old insecure electron versions/forcing you to update before you can use the app while not being up to date in my package manager

Gotta use a custom client anyway to keep my sanity intact

Given it’s all entirely self host able if you use a different client I’m not sure how they could be

Unless there’s some binary blobs hidden in the repo but you’d think someone would have pointed that out by now

Kind of is though, if it quacks like a duck

Does the whole encryption/decryption thing still bother you if you self host?

I tried out the app, the value there is that it’s ready to go straight away, though I took it all down again because my messages being unencrypted on someone else’s server makes me uneasy. May end up self hosting it for that reason and not using anything closed source

Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking, and/or doing a similar thing in lua as an nvim plugin

That said I’m not sure if neovim would support something like that

My plan is not to have multiple files at all and only have the JSON be in memory, or at least if there is a second one have it be temporary and deleted on exit

The problem with the approach of having an intermediary format is I need to create the intermediate format, and given yaml starts for yet another markup language that doesn’t seem like a good idea (also a ton of effort to reinvent the wheel)

Can usually tell when it’s obviously bullshitting me and verify it if it’s not. You can often get it to correct itself if you call it out

(This was the first time I’ve seen it incorrectly “corrected” itsself)

I think I did a quick search but it seemed so strange to me I just wrote it off straight away

What kind of problems? I’m unfamiliar with anchors in yaml

Not a terrible idea to add bits into the JSON but it makes it much harder to program, going for a quick and easy fix here rather than writing my own parser

Seriously? Chatgpt told me that once and I thought it was just hallucinating

Problem is it’s for configuration of other services I didn’t write, I would just use JSON in the first place if I were defining the schema

Comments are an issue I’d have to think about. Would prebuilt libraries for importing/exporting data from/to these languages not handle the multiline strings for me?

What do anchors do in yaml I’ve never heard of them before

I’m using neovim. It doesn’t magically solve my problems with yaml though

No, I was thinking of actual JSON because it makes it easier to write a plugin (just use built in libraries to import and export configurations)

That said I suppose I could use the built in library and then re-inject comments after the fact
