Ah yes, I remember playing this game on the N64 when I was definitely old enough for it. Such a fun, if immature title. The main story has you jumping between various pop culture vignettes on your adventures home from a drunken night at the bar.
My favorite of these Vignettes is the bank heist mission where you literally play through the marble hallway shootout scene from The Matrix, bullet time acrobatics, destructible pillars, all of it.
The multiplayer was also a fun iteration in the deathmatch shooter, including various game modes such as a racer, heist, asymmetrical players vs dinosaurs, and even a stealth red/green light style defense game? Nothing groundbreaking but remember this was on the N64!
I remember you could autoaim throwing knives by holding up on the thumbstick and C-down at the same time then throwing. Literally never misses. My ~10 year old~ ADULT brain couldn't believe it!
Wrote a blogpost about simple (I mean with a shell and a text editor) #X11 configuration.
Covered topics:
1) #Trackball configuration for left hand. Also remapping of some buttons to have scrolling and middle button (not exists out of the box).
2) Theming: #GTK2 #GTK3 #QT , installing cursor(s), fonts and icons.
3) #Xrandr for multimonitor configuration
4) #Xserver settings for #HighDPI
5) #XDG utils and #Emacs as a system file manager
6) #XDM login window

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Now I'm missing Seattle and the South Lake Union Trolley and their motto "I don't care what you call it, as long as you ride it."
Adding $US250 to the fees, telling people (tourists, students, business travellers) not to expect to get it back, while also cutting Brand USA's budget by 80%.
They really don't understand just how much money international visitors to the USA add to the economy, do they?
**Students** keep universities and small accomodation orgs afloat.
**Tourists** keep businesses, from small coffee shops to major hotel chains and theme parks, afloat.
**Business travellers** ditto, plus conference centres, and manufacturing and distribution businesses.
All of these keep local air travel viable, affecting nearly all small airlines and many of the big ones.
I've never, in all my decades, seen a more economically illiterate group of politicians; and I live in Australia, where we have some doozies!

I was just reminded of something that's actually kind of important to me. Falkon Browser is a Qt-based web browser that also doesn't include Google WebExtensions. So it's free from Google, Micro$oft, and Mozilla.
Amarok is one of the oldest Linux music players still in development, and the latest release includes foundational changes to ensure it will keep going for years to come.

Got a bug report for @novelwriter from someone who uses Cuneiform text in their work. These are 4 byte Unicode symbols, and turned out to be very tricky to handle.
The app is built with Python, which will switch a string to UCS-4 when it contains such characters, so the characters always have a single index in the string.
However, the Qt library uses UTF-16. That means 4-byte characters use two slots, creating a mismatch in indices between the two representations.
Been seeing this vibe (sorry) more and more lately, about the appeal of model-generated code deriving from the nightmare state of modern code.
I agree! And from precedent it’s how I know we’re stuck with this nonsense forever. Tech at large doesn’t fix its mistakes. It papers over them with another layer of abstraction. Then another.

I released the first alpha of my social media meta-client yesterday. So far only for #SailfishOS but Android's coming too after I've figured out all the Play Store stuff.

content warnings, tags, using government names instead of or in addition to the clever nicknames, I appreciate any and all of it.
sysctlview https://www.freshports.org/deskutils/sysctlview/ is a GUI utility for sysctl on #FreeBSD.
It's probably my first #opensource project , it's still in the Ports Collection
and runs fine, but it hasn't been updated in years.
Maybe it's finally time to brush up on #C++ and give sysctlview a proper rewrite.
The original version uses #gtkmm (#GTK for C++), but a few years ago I ran a poll and most people preferred #qt
So maybe a QTsysctlview is on the horizon?
I think there is a Dunning–Kruger like effect whereby the complexity of rewriting an open source project from scratch is vastly underestimated the less you know about the scope of the work.
You could make 80% of #inkscape in a couple of months of javascripting. But this is 80% of Inkscape's surface. Not actual depth.
Rewrite it all in #Qt? #React? #JS? #Rust? These are ideas aren't bad. But they are vast projects that would cost millions of dollars.

Oh boy ...
I switched @novelwriter to Qt6 on the recent 2.7 release, and that has caused sooo many problems with the AppImage.
I spent 7-8 hours yesterday trying to fix things, but AppImages are horrible to work with when you can't just use one of the standard tools that does everything for you.
... and now I hate AppImages.
