    Yep. The late 90's and early 2000's was littered with people trying to make "light" copies of MS Word. The problem is that journalists need the wordcount feature, and teachers need…

    I've always been a fan of the sqlite licence: https://sqlite.org/copyright.html Basically sqlite is public domain if your country recognizes that kind of thing. If it doesn't, then…

    I also prefer appimages as the "least worst" of the three. However, a quick note: As someone who unofficially maintains a linux port of my companies software, I have considered pac…

    I gave quite a few statically-compilable language a try a few years back before settling on nim as my "fat binary" language of choice. D was a contender, but ultimately the reason …
