Mastodon toot by the author (Filipa Mendonça-Vieira):

After the recent Rubygems drama, I felt anxious, and trapped, frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.

I found myself grieving, and mourning the future I grew up thinking we would have; but also feeling hope, that it’s not too late to stop enabling these people, and start choosing kindness.

I wrote about these feelings. Join me in building a better future:

I decided to write-up some tips on how I've tweaked my Emacs for Ruby development after starting to write Ruby again for the first time in some time. I hope it's useful - feedback very welcome.

My blog is also available as a Gemini Capsule, if that's your thing.

I love using Ruby, but one problem I have always had is distributing my programs made with it.

I would love to be able to distribute a version of Ruby in an AppImage; I want to make programs for the Steam Deck, and for most users this requires programs to be locally installed only. AppImages are perfect for this.

I managed to make an AppImage running an ancient version of Ruby from the PortableRuby project, but I would like to be able to use modern Ruby. Are there any tips/tricks I should know to compile a portable version?

This is a new-ish library, similar to ViewComponents but you can create your view using pure Ruby.

Interesting addition. It's running by Homeland written in Ruby.
