@thomholwerda as it happens, i was coincidentally scoping out the Ladybird dev team a few days ago, before this latest announcement, because they were linked in (iirc) an old Servo blogpost and i wasn’t familiar with them at that point

i pulled up awesomekling’s account on X.com and the first thing i saw was a laudatory quote-boost of Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz’s talk show

immediately lost all interest in the project

(original post wasn’t about Swift, but i was just thinking about it versus such languages as Zig and Rust which target much larger sets of platforms)

it does bother me that Swift isn’t more portable but i also understand that the reason Swift isn’t more portable is because it supports such advanced features as “Unicode”

and i would take “there are just multiple interoperable Swift implementations”; that would be better actually

which is more efficient:

• writing the software library once, making it portable across many platforms, and then dealing with the ensuing portability concerns for decades to come

• writing the software library multiple times

always bothered me that snickerdoodles don't contain snickers. snickersdoodles

i just wanted to file a bug 😩

so far from what i understand it’s working in spain but not on either side of the united states

did the united states government D·N·S block the gnome foundation

can other people resolve Any gnome.org domain or are they just down everywhere?

uhhhhh gnome.org u ok?

(the short version is that the cgi service runs as a different user than owns the repository, which git doesn’t allow anymore unless you specifically opt in via a global .gitconfig)

apparently at some point my git updated to break https fetching from my gitweb server; i’d apologize but 0 people have noticed and sent me an email about it so
