Yeah the poor Jellyfin clients (on xbox) are what's keeping me on Plex despite all the accumulating paper cuts...

No, Code Weavers do awesome work but I was thinking of the work that Valve has been funding around Mesa, the kernel, etc...

I've really been enjoying the work that collabora (the consultancy) has done, especially around gaming on Linux.

So it's really disappointing to see Collabora Online and TDF behaving like this...

“It should never be a gallery of old boys"

How else would you describe all the life peers who's sole qualification was to be mate with the prime minister at the time?

Wonder if the work being done on the BC-250 helped.

Did an AI write this? Completely missed the point ^^'

Do you still have to pass every args as json/strings or has there been an improvement on that front?

I was on board until I saw that those can't easily be opened from a local file. Seems like local access is one of the main use case for archival formats.

Then you're not familiar with software consultancy because that's exactly what they do.

It's still a fun language to play with :)

My favourite thing was to run it on all kind of microcontrollers as you could just emit C. Wrote a small GBA game with it.

Most of my contributions were to the stdlib so my knowledge of the implementation of the type system is limited sadly.

Maybe Erik, the creator, would be interested. I know he was looking at rewriting Carp in cpp at some point.

That's the language I was talking about :)

But none of us have worked on it in a while.

Oh man, as someone who used to contribute to a statically typed lispy language this would be the dream for me.

Yeah I like this layout and it seems to be available on all Linux distros. I only use it occasionally to talk to friends back home though, not sure how it is for constant use.

Using a bool instead of empty struct also means that there is more way to use it wrong: check the bool instead of if the key exist, set the bool incorrectly, etc...

I would argue using bool hurts readability more.

Even better write/use a simple library that calls things that are sets `Set`.

I feel it would be more interesting to show statistics about the words used rather than search.

I feel the same. If someone would ask me for a recommendation I would point them toward Zellij but if you've been using tmux for years it's probably not worth it.

The modal nature of Zellij is nice though.

It appears I was wrong about Android. The fact that they said you could just install APKs on it made me think what they called SteamOS was just Android here but your link is clear that FEX doesn't run there.

Guess they have yet another translation layer to run these APKs?
