    And yet, they dropped updates for my Shield Tablet basically immediately after I bought it…

    If you keep reading on, that was not the problem ;). The problem was missing glue code that would actually register the frames.

    I remember your comment from back then :D. Great news: Since then, I actually did make it a library. The runtime has been a library for a long time now, and ObjFW itself is also al…

    Yes, it does not protect the running system from being compromized, but that was never the idea behind Secure Boot anyway: You could just backdoor a binary, why even bother with th…

    This is exactly what intrigued me and made me switch to Fossil. I don't want to have my issues, wiki etc. held hostage by some company. And if someone wants to fork it, they should…

    This is running on a server with super slow single core performance and slow I/O (Sun Fire T1000 with full disk encryption, giving ~ 2 MB/s for the disk), and yet it feels fast and…

    Yeah, I'm just running `fossil server --scgi` in a chroot and then use nginx for TLS.

    That is only true for projects where you need to deploy. In that case, yeah, you of course can only close the bug once you fixed production. But for normal software development, yo…

    I'm using it for a while now for https://objfw.nil.im/ and am quite happy with it. I wrote a little bit about that at https://blog.nil.im/?78 . It's quite sad to see that so few pr…

    That all sounds too familiar. When I was still a little kid going to school, I was using Linux and found Objective-C. Really liked the language and concepts, but lacking a framewor…

    Hm, Omega2 seems to run OpenWrt, if I see it right? In that case, it should even just work. Alternatively, if you want to avoid OpenWrt, there's also ObjFW on bare-metal ARM: https…

    This is actually a port to the real Amiga, and not one of those new exotic Amigas. But if you want to run AmigaOS 3, you can just use FS-UAE. In fact, that screenshot is from FS-UA…

    Well, I know it's used for some internal things at a Russian AV company according to some bug reports that have been made :). And Microsoft used it for their WinObjC for a (not ver…

    It actually is on GitHub: https://github.com/Midar/objfw I offer both, self-hosted and on GitHub, because I believe in decentralization. It's Git after all! :) Yup, I was the guy w…

    Hum, excuse me, but since when is the ObjFW runtime old? It supports modern ObjC quite fine and is still in active development with the last changes being from this year. However, …

    But the runtime has a faster dispatch than Apple's ;). Actually, I don't get all this "Messaging is slow". In the ObjFW runtime, it's just 12 instructions for x86_64. That's barely…
