Building Emacs from 'master' branch with

Why?

Because we can.

Rant:

I love retro games, especially SNES/NES/N64 and GB games.
Modern games, except for some titles, do not fascinate me at all anymore.
This lead to being able to run machines that are in the "older" realm. Not having a dedicated graphics card can be a blessing for sure. Energy costs drastically go down and one can run quiet systems.
Besides, playing retro games is not taxing at all to the system - any system will do fine.
I miss the great stories older games told... nostalgia hits again.

@jhx is something from early 2000s retro already?

Note to myself (after reinventing the wheel): on MicroOS you can layer applications by using 'sudo transactional-update pkg install {program-name}'. Big gripe by users is you have to reboot, and with 6 or 7 programs that's annoying (htop, fastfetch, mc, micro, you get it).
So: install the first program with the command above, don't reboot. Then install the others one by one with: 'sudo transactional-update --continue pkg install {program-name}'. When finished with all reboot. Done.

@thelinuxcast @peppe on MicroOS, you can't.

And I think, the main point of what he wanted to say is that you need to use the 'continue' flag, otherwise you will create multiple "snapshots" of the system if you install apps ones after another and not in one batch.

MicroOS is something like Kinoite (transactional Fedora, you did a long term review on your channel). On Kinoite, you can't do 'dnf install', you need to use that 'ostree' command.

I have to say never have I used such a janky, crashy app like Final Cut Pro in recent times… except for DaVinci Resolve and I’m told Premiere is even worse. sigh

One take-away from creating this (and a conference talk before) is that FCP’s multi-cam (while nice to sync video and audio) takes the jank to 11. At least I hadn’t dozens of dead frames this time.

@hynek Premiere itself is not as bad, but... then you have After Effects (which you use inside your Premiere timeline very very often as an inserted project). And that crashes like crazy.

ICYMI, we did a major update to our algo in february, how are you finding it?

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@Mojeek hard to tell, since I usually do not search for the same thing over and over again 😄

If there would be one thing that I do not really like about your algo, it's the fact that OLD results are usually pretty high.

Which, at least for IT, is not that useful.

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@Mojeek for example, the first result for "openbsd wifi" is this blog from 2008:

https://blog.desgrange.net/post/2008/12/08/configuring-openbsd-as-a-wifi-access-point.html

Which is still a good and informative response, but still.. 2008 🙂

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@Mojeek "haskell introduction", the very first result is from 2000:

https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/

I mean, yes, it is on the official page, but...

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@Mojeek "julia lang" and the main page for Julia Programming language (which is julialang.org) nowhere near the beginning 🙂

"julia language" then finds it.

Has anyone compiled Dillo from source? I'm on Debian and can't seem to find the fltk1.3 library it needs.

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@ChrisWere I am not sure if that is a typo or not, but it should be fltk (with "T"), so libfltk1.3-dev

@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

I might (and I repeat, I MIGHT) have found a bug in the newest release of Dillo browser.

When I enable "Load backgroud images", I can not change the URL until I switch to another window (app) an back. Also, the title bar changes color (until the switch and back)

Maybe a FLTK issue? I have version 1.3.9-2.2 (opensuse) installed, I will check on my Ubuntu as well. Did not notice on RC but again, I might not even try it back then.

@dillo

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@dillo I'll test it on Ubuntu, where I still have the RC version and check what I can do.

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@dillo OK, not happening on Ubuntu 24.04 with RC1 version. Will test the release...

@dillo but can you see how the "rg" that was deleted before reappeared in the URL bar? Timestamp 00:45

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@dillo OK, so... there was a simple solution for that on openSUSE 😄

"have you tried to turn it off an on again?" 😄

Not sure why - I only restarted the computer because OBS had no option to record a screen - which was also solved by the same restart.

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@dillo still not done, for some reason, the KDE booted into X11 session, I relogged into Wayland and the issue is back.

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@dillo I use whatever the default is 🙂

peterkotrcka,
@peterkotrcka@mastouille.fr avatar

@dillo But on Ubuntu, it was also Wayland (just with GNOME) and it worked just fine there. It has to be either openSUSE or KDE (or both together) related.

@jwildeboer Since I am still a citizen of Slovakia, I can only vote for our selection of candidates, which is really really poor. No real pro-EU party with a strong pro-green focus. Only socialists, communists and communists in disguise.

Is micro:bit fun to work with? I was thinking about a small board for uLisp and micro:bit already has LEDs on board and everything.

@RL_Dane I would love to host something like my weatherbot on such board. But now when I am thinking about it, something with a WiFi would be better, maybe pico?
