Do you know why people stopped? It would seem to be a potentially useful middle ground between docker containers and KVM VMs

True, but it only works on Apple systems, which makes Swift far less appealing on non-Apple systems. This adds weight to the point the GP comment makes about Swift being held back by its association with Apple

It isn't very clear on that, but I think it is a way of automatically downloading binaries from Github releases. If so, that wouuld work well in some cases, and poorly in others

I don't know what the licence is, or the legality of using it, but the download urls for the fonts on the linked site are - https://kermit-font.com/_css/KermitRoman-VF.otf - https://kermit-font.com&#x2F

I don't remotely want to use Windows 2000 again, but it is interesting to see a version of Windows where the UI was consistent. Currently it is a mishmash of four generations of GUI toolkits, some UI is in one style, some UI is another

systemd is the init process, the Linux kernel non-optionally runs the init process as root

I use Nix extensively, but the Nix daemon doesn't do much of use that can't be achieved by building your code from a fixed OCI container with internet turned off. The latter is certainly more standard across the industry, and sadl

> Complicated stuff = high probably of failure This is a myth. The 787 has about 60 million miles of wiring in it. It is vastly more complicated than an airliner from the 1940s, and it also much, much safer. Poorly engineered technology

From a developer point of view GOG has the most hoops to jump through of all PC platforms, for very few users, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense Itch.io would be more reasonable. It doesn't have a lot of users, but it is trivial

Is this Firefox rebranded with anything privacy breaking removed? Personally that is what I want. A minimal set of diffs on top of Firefox that turns off anything obnoxious Mozilla might (or might not) add, but is close enough to the origin

That would be perfect. There is so much good about Rust, and if it could compile to C in that way it would have been amazing for this game

That looks really interesting, I'll experiment with swapping to it!
