Ahh, the comment I was looking for

I would have also accepted: “Haskell did it first.”

X2go is the successor to NX and works well IMO, though I’ve never tried Rustdesk to compare.

They’re Japanese patents, so maybe they’re already circulating in Japanese media and haven’t been translated yet.

Alternatively, maybe the Japanese Patent Office requires you to follow some bureaucratic process to get a copy: like you have to be a lawyer and it takes 4-6 weeks to get your reply. I don’t know, but Japan just finally got rid of its last laws requiring floppy disks for certain processes a few years back, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility

I’m sure we’ll hear the details soon.

I wish FIDO had paid more attention to SQRL. It’s long in the tooth now, but with some attention it could have been a better solution than passkeys, IMO.

I’d argue that the concept of isolated environments is great. Python’s implementation… leaves something to be desired.

It’s still a bit hacky, even in Python 3. Tools like uv and pdm exist in the gaps to smooth it out.

That said, it’s something that the core community is actively working on and it’s not something users will face day to day.

I say this as someone who moved from PHP 3 to Python 2 to Ruby to PHP 6+ to Python 3 as their goto language over the years.

That depends on whether you treat “limericks” as a trochee (long-short, i.e. “lim-ricks”) or a dactyl (long-short-short, i.e. “lim-er-icks”).

Tried it out. Liking it so far, but I might have soft-locked the demo? I think I got into a state where I can’t get a key to progress. Or at least I can’t seem to find it. Happy to send pics of map or copy of save file if it would be valuable.

Through the magic of buying two of them…

This is interesting because I’ve been thinking about switching from Debian to Arch. I’m already running Nix inside of my Debian installation to get more recent apps (I don’t like how snap interacts with the rest of the system, so I avoid it if I can).

Is there anything else on a more base OS level (like apt v pacman) that you’ve noticed is different, if you’re willing to share?

Makes sense. I can’t blame you for taking that position. I think we need a paid search engine: if you’re not paying you’re the product, after all.

DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

Not as much as Google though, so I’ve been feeling like it’s been getting better and better, but it’s just a comparative feeling.

I mean, you got my upvote already, but one big reason is that Robertson wanted to control all the manufacturing of the screws and the bits. Phillips licensed his patent out and let anyone make them just taking a tiny licensing fee. Made a fortune on volume. Robertson: good engineer, bad businessman.
