Since our last release, we've introduced several significant updates, with one of the key enhancements being proposals to change group settings. This enables group members to collectively shape the group's overall functionality and tailor it to better suit their needs and preferences as the group evolves over time.

In addition to the ability to propose changes, we've introduced the following group settings:

Decision Making Model - You can now choose from consensus or consent decision-making to determine how decisions are made in the group

Admin Model - Choose from No Admin or Standard to determine how the group is managed. No Admin ensures all changes are made through proposals, while Standard allows for customizable admin roles

Ratification Threshold - Set the minimum amount of positive votes required for a proposal to be ratified under consensus

Voting Time Limit - Set a time limit for how long proposals can be voted on before they're closed or ratified. This can be set with a dropdown or a date picker

Stand Asides and Reservations Limit - Set the acceptable number of stand asides or reservations for a proposal to pass

These updates aim to offer greater customization for groups, while also showcasing how software can empower communities to collectively shape the digital spaces they occupy.

XKit Rewritten

My Tumblr browsing experience just got 100% better since I installed this browser extension. I've said "goodbye" to the Tumblr Live carousel! And Tumbr Radar! And several other annoying features of the web interface.

Please note that the XKit-Rewritten extension is in beta. I'm testing it on Firefox. Your mileage may vary.

Assertion: literally everything that could be usefully tested can, in principle, have its tests usefully randomized in a fuzzing/"property-based" way.

Challenge: come up with a counter-example for which I can't think of a useful randomization.

Loving Travis

For most of my open-source software projects, I use the Actions platform built into GitHub for CI (continuous integration). GitHub Actions provides virtual machines to run workflows, so I don't have to administer build environments for Linux, MacOS, Windows, and so on. It's modern, convenient (if you use GitHub instead of, say, GitLab), fairly reliable, and (best of all) free (for public repos).

For me, the main limitation of Actions is that all their hosted runners use the x64 architecture. Sometimes I want to build and/or test on Arm CPUs---for instance my Libbulletjme project, which has a bunch of platform-sensitive C++ code.

For Libbulletjme, I still depend on the older TravisCI platform, run by a private firm in Berlin. In addition to a huge selection of build environments based on AMD CPUs, Travis also provides Arm-based Linux environments. (Officially, they're a "beta-stage" feature, but they've been in beta for years.) Like Actions, Travis is also free to open-source projects, though their notion of "open-source" seems a bit stricter than GitHub's.

I mention Travis because my experiments with the Vulkan API exposed a limitation in Libbulletjme, which led me to begin work on a new release of Libbulletjme, which led me to discover an issue with Travis's Arm-based build environments. A recent change to these environments caused all my Arm-based builds to fail. I could only go a bit further with Vulkan before I would have to make hard choices about how to work around the limitations of Libbulletjme v18.5.0 .

At 20:09 hours UTC yesterday (a Sunday), I e-mailed TravisCI customer support and explained my issue. At 12:25 hours UTC today, Travis announced a hotfix to solve my issue. That's pretty good turnaround, for a non-paying customer having issues with a "beta-stage" feature on a summer weekend.

Bottom line: I still love Travis. <3
