I went back and actually managed to do this. For future readers: it's true that in 2022 Google disabled login with the normal login/pw but you can create app passwords to do this. Thanks! This was actually the only working solutio

Also only for commercial use, not private use

Thanks, that seems doable! Edit: but not free, ugh. Understandable, but annoying to send a mail every couple of weeks

I can't really understand this take. Compilation times are tiny in most projects and manageable in the large ones. It's perfectly parallel and modules and other improvements reduce it by another order of magnitude.

I liked his actual point, too! But it's being devalued by his demeanor

Being loud and obnoxious is at best orthogonal to being correct. I'm not on either side on the LK99 question)

That's irrelevant as they're not paid by the user.

Ok then how if Firefox would only release a critical Bugfix to paying users. Same thing - they would rightfully be called out on that.

Bad analogy. There is reasonable expectation that security related bugs will be fixed in a reasonable time. And that it won't be a premium feature. Not legally of course as it's free etc. But that's commonly how the world wor

And that's exactly proof of how immensely far left Germany's politics have shifted. In absolute terms, the AFD is a left leaning party. They still support "immigration" for example.

Great! Time to evaluate whether it's reasonable to invest time in it. How did the performance evolve over the last months? Half a year ago it was unusable for medium-sized text files. Some weeks ago I did a quick test and it seemed a l
