No somthing more than just “mere” syntax highlightinng or prettifying like e.g. in VS Code. Being able to change line height for a “headline” when you declare a new class. Or maybe lines that illustrate how a temp variable is used. But it’s all vague ideas and I can’t picture or describe it well and you’d have to demo this with a graphical design tool I think.

- Is there some language or “syntax formatter” that turns source code into something more off a visual programming language? Like a WYSIWYG markdown editor. - Like python doesn’t have curly braces, but you could add some kind of “block illustration”. - Or you could have illuminated initials for variable names to make them more unique. 
- I believe most image generating models are too small (like only 4GB RAM). Deepseek R1 is 1.5TB ram (or half or quarter that at reduced precision) to get some semblance of “general knowledge”. So to get the “semantics” of an image right, not just the “syntax” you’d need bigger models and probably more data describing images. Of course, do we really want that? 
- Weirder? Interesting, like how for example? 
  11·6 months ago 11·6 months ago- But as far as I can remember, you can’t administer the rooms in a space as one. Like you need to be invited into each separate room. - Not saying that you couldn’t add that, I’m saying they don’t seem to want to “do what discord did”. Which is a bummer since the success of discord clearly shows what would be needed. - PS: It’s fine to do that as a UX design choice, more like IRC. But the issue is that people like you (no offense) say it’s the same when it isn’t. Like not even understanding what the problem is. 
- And if it could distinguish better, it could also generate better. 
- And today you could build one that has like a micro washing machine / mangle / dryer combo integrated.

  21·6 months ago 21·6 months ago- Does matrix have multiple chat channels per server / community yet? Last I asked they didn’t understand my question. Basically matrix just isn’t meant to be a replacement for discord. 
  3·6 months ago 3·6 months ago- I think all you can do in an open group chat is use vpn/tor/anonymous email. Besides private messages, but then the server can be forced to disclose the metadata. 
- Of course, it’s an image generated by AI that has been trained to generate images that can’t be distinguished from reality. So of course the AI thinks it’s real lol 
  1·6 months ago 1·6 months ago- Well I’ve always hated Visual Studio. It installs so much bloat, it is more like another operating system installed on top of your existing one. It’s an abomination. - And no matter what they call VSCode, for what most people need to create software it’s a perfectly fine substitute. I guess you should call it a DE, a development environment since compilers are not “integrated”. But that is a good thing, to be able to install compilers separately. On the other hand if you install compilers, the addons to integrate that compiler into VSCode. Maybe it’s an “integrating development environment”? :D 
  2·6 months ago 2·6 months ago- Yeah done that now :) 
  2·7 months ago 2·7 months ago- Yeah, I’m just too lazy to reinstall and copy over my settings to VSCodium. - Supporting open source projects by small teams has been the only good thing MS has ever done. Imagine if MS would even partly open sourced part of windows. Like there are bugs in explorer for 3 decades that just don’t get fixed lol. And then there still would be bloat and shitty things, but it still would be better. 
  91·7 months ago 91·7 months ago- Microsoft Terminal vs the default Command Prompt haha. VS Code vs Visual Studio. - In general software is one of the rare thing where ordinary people can “mass produce” things that compete with commercial offerings. 
- All dissent from the political correct opinion spectrum needs to be squashed. Only way to defeat veganism once and for all! 
  4·7 months ago 4·7 months ago- It’s all fun and games posting extremist propaganda, until you hear that the christo-fascists in power right now actually do want to ban sodomy. 
- It is sad. Everyone is gloating, cheering on a possible conflict in the future. We’ve seen this kind of escalation and warmongering in 2013 in Ukraine. “Of course that country on the doorstep of our big geopolitical rival should be independent and join our military pact! Hahaha lololol!” 



But what if the magnets reprogram your brain to just not notice thee differences? Ever think of that? Obviously you can only question the infernal power of the heliomagnetism while wearing a tinfoil hat.
