Why are you in a thread about Linux software if you hate it so much? Just felt like spreading some negativity?

Is there something like this for open code? I'm pretty new to this so sorry if it's a stupid question.

Do laws serve any purpose? If so, what?

I've seen ads on the YT app for the nVidia Shield TV in multiple places. Sometimes ad-roll before/during a video sometimes as the first result in a search.

No Lite! about it. I've twice unsubbed from YTP because they started showing me ads. Never again.

Flock came to my town recently and I keep daydreaming about drones that can spray/drop paint.

Author forgot Segway. Remember when it was going to fundamentally change humanity?

That's a great point. Thanks for calling it out on that.

I suggest getting rid of teams and the teams mentality.

Indeed, looking for Ruby-specific stuff. There are a couple of ncurses wrappers that are not the friendliest things and at the other end of the spectrum there's the "TTY" code which, while nice isn't powerful enough to do what I was wanting to do.

How funny. I just spent the weekend AI slopping an FFI wrapper around notcurses because I couldn't find anything else. This looks amazing!

Since you asked for ideas in a different comment, here's something I put into my notcurses wrapper: grid and flex "css" layouts. Meaning the ability to say whatever.fixed(cols,...) and whatever.flex(:fr1) or whatever.grid(:fr1) and the ability to do a "grid-template-areas" style ascci art ala https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Guides/Grid...

Oh it's available, but it only works for about 5 minutes and then it becomes so slow that it's unusable. There was a very long issue about it that was closed with seemingly no effort on behalf of the maintainers.
