Love to see Godot used creatively beyond games! The terminal is for sure an area that can see innovation, why not!

Hi all — I help manage somosazucar.org, one of the local volunteer groups of Sugar Labs, the nonprofit behind the open-source Sugar Learning Platform originally developed for the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. SomosAzúcar has supporte

I sometimes use llm from the command line, for instance with a fragment, or piping a resource from the web with curl, and then pick up the cid with `llm gtk-chat --cid MYCID`.

For all of you using `llm` - perhaps take a look at [Gtk-llm-chat]( https://github.com/icarito/gtk-llm-chat ). I put a lot of effort into it - it integrates with `llm` command line tool and with your desktop, via a tray

That's right this is a nontrivial problem that I struggled with too for gtk-llm-chat! I resolved it using the streaming markdown-it-py library.

Hey I felt bad that there was a longer delay and by making sure to lazy-load everything I could, I managed to bring down the startup time from 2.2 seconds to 0.6 on my machine! Massive improvement! Thanks for the challenge!

I've got a i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz. You triggered my curiosity. The chat window takes consistently 2.28s to start. The python interpreter takes roughly 30ms to start. I'll be doing some profiling.

I'd truly like to know! But I've no access to a Mac to try. If you can, try it and let me know? If it does, please send a screenshot!

I wonder! In my more modest setup, it takes a couple of seconds perhaps. After that it's quite usable.

Yeah I agree, I've been thinking about using Rust. But ultimately it's a problem with GTK3 vs GTK4 too because if we could reuse the Python interpreter from the applet that would speed things up but GTK4 doesn't have support

Yeah absolutely, I've just got to point where I'm happy with the architecture so I'll continue to add UI. I've just added support for fragments and I've thought to add them as if they were attached documents. I&#x27

I think this is big. The fact that it isn't saddens me.

I suffer from the limitations of both X11 and Wayland. Some things work in one and not the other, it's a trade off. In Wayland I can use different scaling for each monitor (in exchange for a LOT of RAM). But in X11 I can use Barrier to

I think Linus's major contribution to the world is Git, name coincidences notwithstanding.

I downloaded the 64bit Linux build and it has a strange executable called "payload". I moved it out of precautio and still launched the app, and it seems to work fine without this executable. What is this "payload"? Anyo

Great manual. I helped deliver two babies following this and the book for midwives. Fortunately haven't needed it for anything else!

Forgot to mention `pingus` is a lemmings-alike. Good for logic, also comes with a map editor which my kids like.

There's plenty! Try `childsplay`, `pysiogame` for collections of didactic activities. Other fun individual games are `raincat`, `colobot`. Try `rabbit escape` also. For fun (we let them play as prize) try `X-moto` and `SuperTuxkart` as

I also have fond memories of QBasic and a 7 year old. I agree with few comments here that: - Javascript has the best deployability - Python has the nice syntax - QBasic was a nice IDE I wrote a simple IDE that will transpile Python in

Hi, author here, thanks for submitting this :-) It's meant for writing Nuxt.js apps, so mostly for the Web, generally not Desktop (unless you use a Electron style Webview).

As a practitioner of traditional amazonian spiritual tradition, I and my family drink Ayahuasca on a regular basis and find it to be invaluable, our first line of defense for disease both physical and spiritual.

That's not one question, that's four. I am familiar with your port and found it unplayable on the XO laptop (although I commend you on your apparently painful task of making it run in the first place!). While I appreciate your tho

Hello Alan, In light of the poor results of the OLPC project, in reference to the Children's Machine, leaving aside commercial factors, do you think the Sugar user interface is appropriate for the task? If not, how can it be improved,
