my comfy minimal (almost) lisp machine - hacked a bit on my dwl-guile config yesterday and added a bar that matches the elea-dark theme of emacs :guix:

@thees does the bar come from dwl-guile?

Recently (past week?), proper passed the 30K package limit, all free software!

@civodul would it be too complex for the main Guix repo to break out into specialized official channels for certain categories of packages that are not needed for producing a working system?

@MenacingMecha I use simplelists.com, they're pretty flexible and affordable. Customer support is great too, I think it's the owner responding to all the emails.

@MenacingMecha nah, they support marketing e-mails, they even tell you how to do list segmentation: https://www.simplelists.com/blog/segmenting-your-email-distribution-list-with-simplelists/

I remember when I was a kid and I read that Java 5 was codenamed "Tiger" and I thought that was so cool!

Now I'm dead inside.

I'm finding my way back into game dev. Because mental health reasons I can't do bigger stuff. So, I finally listened to a piece of advice I've told other people so many times: Make something small!

If bursts of work is what I'm capable of, small games it is for a while!

@Nifflas Knytt was probably the perfect size. The game was more about the ambiance than the mechanics. Super creative and inspiring!

Randomly laying in bed and remembered this wonderful coverdisc. My school had a copy of it in the library that we all borrowed. Those were happy days. :)

@ThreeOhFour man, I had that one too

In honor of Hideo Kojima talking about seeing Mad Max: Fury Road over a dozen times. What’s your list of movies you’ve seen 2+ times in theaters? Mine

• Mad Max: Fury Road
• All the John Wick movies
• All the Spider-Verse movies
• All the Avengers movies even Age of Ultron

🎬 watched Miller's Crossing (1990)

Ehhhh.

Hard to follow for the first 30 mins, has some great scenes splattered about, but doesn't set up a goal or meat to sink it's teeth into, so you end up just waiting through plot beats until it ends, which is always what you want from a movie.

While everyone else gives a fantastic performance, things are hampered by the protagonist being an absolute unlikable charisma void. I do not care for his plight. He is not interesting or entertaining to follow.

@MenacingMecha Barton Fink is better

The Fuq is Gnome Commander? How is there a Gnome file manager that I've never heard of before? https://gcmd.github.io

@thelinuxcast this is a gnome reimplementation of a program called Midnight Commander which itself is a reimplementation of an old DOS program called Norton Commander:
