"Software may be getting worse, but it used to be horrible"

So now, it is worse than horrible.

SWT 3.0 uses Skija. But it is also JNI.

Yes, you are right.

FOSS code is about people, not mass scavenging of machines that will put them to misery.

Either licensing should ban this kind of use or stop FOSS altogether, because it is like giving sugar to diabetics, "out of compassion".

This why syndicalism should have thrived in the tech sector. But most devs thought that they were gods.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Capitalism is giving back its place to feudalism. As a society we are regressing.

I liked the article.

I don't think they took the migration seriously. When you do such migrations you complement it with other tools.

SWT does native calls. I expect these advancements to make it faster.

Is there a font manager program for Windows?

I see repeated posts on various fonts these days and I would like to try them.

Is manual installation the only option?

Yes, because you were silently fired as a developer and rehired as an AI manager. You can't compare apples and oranges.

3.2.4 is in RC2.

There is also a Mooncompiler 2.4.11 targeting Delphi 12.2.

The page lists a FPC 3.2.3 while the official is 3.2.2 with 3.2.4 in RC2. I do not understand it.

The truth is we need more expository articles like this.

Silver Pascal coder is doing a lot of Pascal evangelism, but he is alone.

Abundance is not the main target of communism. Fairness and liberty.

Christian Communism also adds Morality according to the Bible.
