Hi folks, do you know when #geany 2.1 will be released?

#Thanks

The #Geany developers are looking for a new maintainer for the Windows builds of Geany.

The Windows builds of Geany were created previously on a Windows 7 VM which is not supported any longer.
We are looking for a new maintainer who likes to take care of the Windows builds, knows MSYS2 and has access to a Windows system with a recent version to be able to build and test Geany on Windows.

For more details and comments, see https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4189.

On top of my learning #rust I have started learning #python. My personal windows machine was updated and I am now playing with it. My #linux box has #python3 installed so no changes there. Work is looking at AI and they mentioned that it will use #python and I figured I am overdue to learn it so that at least one person on the support team is familiar with #python. Downside is that my work machine doesn't have #phython so anything I cannot make and test changes.

I did a minor tweak to my #geany setup so that when I edit #phython code I can launch it there.

I just noticed that my favorite #IDE @GeanyIDE was released in Version v2.0.0 four days (EDIT: and a year, LOL ) ago !

Now I am curious whats all new. The last version was v1.3.6 from September 2019 (!) and the project exists since 2005. So it looks like a big deal

#geany É uma IDE muito da hora, pena que tem pouca comunidade em volta.

O desenvolvimento é lento, mas existe.

Vou tentar montar meu ambiente de desenvolvimento lá >.>

Useful things in #Linux lately: apt-clone, #emacs & #elisp, #rakulang, #smallbasic (github version), silver searcher (ag), htop, pal calendar, #gimp, #kolourpaint, #vlc, #doublecommander, #gambas3, #geany, and distros like #manjaro, #pclos, #almalinux, #kubuntu, and #q4os
Pictured: An old photo of my #UbuntuStudio desktop from 2009, watching "The Cat From Outer Space".
The same system ran WinXP and Win 7 inside of VMs, allowing use of Adobe software and other Windows apps.
At the time I had been using Linux full-time at my business for about 4-5 years.
Soon I would take a Linux netbook with me for working abroad (running Ubuntu's netbook distro), along with a Nokia n810 as media station. The years 2009-2012 were, in my work, the second big wave of Linux on the Desktop. It was extremely fun and I'm still trying to recapture some of the enjoyment of those days, which faded a bit with the rise of the cloud.

I don't understand what is the point of releasing an IDE via #flatpak, when that flatpak doesn't include all the necessary dev tools, and it can't access the ones outside its sandboxing. Honestly. What's the point? I'm looking at you, #Geany.

Personally, I can't stand flatpaks or #snap. #Appimage is nicer just because it's just one delete away from within the file manager and doesn't leave crumbs everywhere. But overall, I prefer #apt, and #dnf.

APROPOS OF NOTHING
am annoyed with the war of software packaging attrition #Ubuntu & #RedHat have with their snaps and flatpaks.

am, yet again, running all over the web to find an unabandoned PPA because i cannot properly run software that was developed as a .deb but now the only maintained version is encased in docker-like #Linux fuckery.

#Zotero is now the latest of a growing list: #LibreOffice, #Firefox, #GIMP, #Inkscape, #Calibre, #Keypass, #Geany, #Freetube.

WTF.

I like #vim, I use it when I work remotely through ssh or on my computers to edit config files (I never use root on GUI).
But to develop software, essentially PHP, CSS and JS files, I prefer #Geany. It is between a text editor and a full IDE. I find it is easier than vim to navigate in source code.
I wonder if I should have a look to #Emacs
Learning lots of new shortcuts/commands scares me.
