Yeah I guess that would work as a last resort but it's a pretty big hoop to jump through compared to just scp-ing the binary over. I guess I will stick with SDK 28 builds as long as I possibly can and start looking at alternatives for

The workaround won't help with self-installed executables though, right? Like when I cross-compile something on my dekstop and copy the executable to run under Termux?

Controversial opinion but making sure that your game runs well under Wine is not the worst way to ship games for Linux. This is especially true once the game gets older and less supported. The native Linux libraries might move on over time

Emacs is in that blissful state where it's resisting sacrificing its core user base by trying to cater to people who are not going to use it anyway. As a long term user I am very happy with the direction of Emacs development over the p

I don't have PA on my system and I am able to play audio from many sources at the same time using ALSA only. Not sure if this requires hardware/driver support or something, I don't have any special ALSA config. I don't k

Emacs is the only major piece of software that I look forward to upgrading. With everything else it's a worry about what functionality will I lose this time.

This uses https://github.com/itchyny/gojq which is a pure Go re-implementation of jq. Can be used as a cli tool or as a library. Didn't know about this, very cool that it exists!
