I’m partial to a prickle of porcupines.

I’m with you.

Also great: Willow, Tombstone.

I noticed a change in your titles a few days ago. What happened to “until l forget to post Screenshots”? I don’t think you forgot, did you?

Qt is still the only excellent cross-platform desktop GUI framework.

It’s a pity that it’s current custodian’s commercial licenses:

• are subscriptions
• are painfully expensive for a solo developer or small group
• have a reputation for triggering legal threats and badgering from The Qt Company if one ever wants to end their subscription or (separately) use their open-source license for a FOSS project

This situation makes me afraid to use their commercial offerings, which in turn means they won’t get any money from me at all; I’ll only use their libs in open-source code. Their business model is their decision, of course, but I can’t help wondering if their whale-hunting approach actually nets them more money than a more accessible, lower-cost, one-time (or one-major-version) license option would. In many other industries, high sales volume reaps more profits than high price.

Thank goodness for the KDE Free Qt Foundation.

Disappointing that it doesn’t show anything at all without javascript.

I don’t follow Meta services, but for the record, I think you’re talking about the EU Digital Markets Act and its interoperability requirements of gatekeepers.

You had cassettes? We had to manually transcribe machine code from printed listings.

Long ago, I solved all of the ways in which PHP made me sad…

…by abandoning it.

Nowadays we have better languages that can do the job at least as well.

Did you mean sycophants? Psychopaths? Something else?

Breath of the Wild: Beautiful. Mysterious. Inspired.

Tears of the Kingdom. Big. Shallow. Boring.

I found the first dozen or two hours of TotK exciting, as I encountered new mechanics and a darker side of Hyrule. But it wasn’t long before the new and exciting became endless expanses of copy/paste encounters and terrain, forgettable characters, and annoying enemies. Nothing felt clever or interesting. I lost interest in exploring, and wandered away from the game.

Then I went back to the first game for another run.

A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think.

Do these accept cash, or only ATM cards? (The latter would link your transaction to your bank account, of course.)

What do they give? A printout of a wallet address?
