   I don't care but many follow him[1] which might take a big bite out of your potential userbase. [1] Not without reason since his foresight has been correct wrt privacy, civil rights, etc.

   I would also be willing to donate although the project would not be very viable. It's a lot of work, Common Lisp is not a currently fashionable language like Rust, it would not have support from RMS. It would probably die out soon. X

   I do the same for games in StumpWM: I just switch to an unused virtual desktop. I don't really see the issue once you're used to it.

   Your next to last paragraph might just have sold me on EXWM.

   He's a unique blend of funny and annoying, a master troll. His lyrics are one of the few I actually listen to and enjoy. Not to mention the song titles. So I guess he's a decent writer?

    I'm not sure this is correct but: I remember reading or hearing rumours that Psygnosis' Barbarian (for the Amiga and Atari ST) was written in C and that it was so slow because of that. What I mean is: we perceived it as being slow

    Same here, I was mostly on C64, MSX, Amiga, Atari ST and then PC during my formative years and it seems gaming history is being written by consoles because they were more popular or because gaming got really big during that time. Checking o

    I don't know, but I just use fish for interactive use and write shell scripts using #!/bin/sh.

    "Not smart enough to use Lisp." I hear that more often and I do not understand it. I chose Common Lisp (CL) because it is an easy language not because it's hard (I would have chosen Haskell or C++ then). I'm not sure I

    No, you're not an edge case. iMessage does indeed not "work automatic" if you're not fully into the Apple eco system.

    Ooh that's nice, thank you. I recently figured out that keeping two separate items in one hand, say my bicycle keys and my house keys, makes it easier for me to lose one of them without realizing it since I'm still feeling the oth

    Yes, all these people talking about Gnome and KDE as if they're the only thing in town. DEs are a pox on Linux.

    I know it's not very nice but would taking the money and not taking down the review dissuade businesses from doing this? Or, if that is illegal (which I can imagine), just putting up a new bad review.

    I can imagine still keeping Windows around for gaming, it really depends on the person but Linux is really becoming a nice alternative. Myself, I chucked Windows 10 a couple of months ago before the SteamPlay news (which was a really nice c
