   Gave it a serious go but it still lives inside the Windows + Visual Studio bubble. Trying to use .NET on Linux with Visual Studio Code is pain: .NET developers expect you to learn APIs through intellisense and don't publish API docs, W

   I use it on https://mudlet.org and it's amazing. No Linux users are ever issues with them - it's an effectively solved distribution problem. The one drawback is that you need to use an ancient compiler, but for our pur

   It already exists. Modern clients like Mudlet ( https://mudlet.org/ ) support both old (MSP) and modern audio protocols: https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Standards:MUD_Client_Media_Protoco... There's games

   If you'd like to dig further, online text games (MUDs) are still around. https://mudlet.org is a nice modern client for playing them! (bias: I'm the project lead)

   Already switched to Signal/Telegram with a preference for the former, and pinged my friends with the same.

   European resident here - ended up deleting WhatsApp and asking contacts to switch to Signal/Telegram. Quite a few people were happy to make the move and some were happy for the push.

   What did you do with it? A Qt Widgets maintainer here looking to hit the mobile as well.

    Open source is discriminated against, not the other way around.

    MUDs are still thriving to this day. I work on Mudlet ( https://mudlet.org ) which is a popular FOSS client to play them with.

    How bad is this for the environment?

    Agreed. We've embedded it inside Mudlet ( https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet ) for a decade and people have started their careers in programming thanks to wanting to code for their favourite text game.

    I definitely concur. We've been making an open-source MUD client for a decade, all for free, on our time. We have to pay $99USD for the privilege of giving it away for free to macOS users. It's ridiculous. We get no value in retur

    I don't think so - just the default. The light version of https://themes.matomo.org/DarkTheme#preview .

    I found the Matomo interface to be a breath of fresh air compared to Google Analytics! As a non-power user, GA was too heavy and enterprise-like. Matomo is much cleaner, simpler, and more efficient for me to work with.

    I'm not sure if it's actually filtered - I think they're just tracked and classified. At least that's what I'm seeing in my instance.

    You could then automate tasks in your program with a scriptable telnet client ( https://github.com/mudlet/mudlet ) (disclosure, I'm on the dev team)

    What telnet text are they using? The only hyperlinking in telnet I know of is MXP, http://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/mxp.htm .

    This is excellent. Thanks, bookmarked! Handy to combine with peek ( https://github.com/phw/peek ) which does a good job of recording gifs.

    For a telnet client, https://mudlet.org is something FOSS and crossplatform you can run (disclaimer - involved with project)

    Or anyone using Windows software through Wine/Crossover - since Crossover only announced support for Catalina yesterday.

    A technologically-literate population is a great thing and should be encouraged. We all, too often, complain how others are technologically illiterate.

    This looks like a very impressive evolution in font tech. Props!
