Awesome. Have starred the repo and will have a look through it later tonight when I'm done with work.

True, that's an option, but a native build would be optimal

Presumably though Canva subscriptions? Shame it's only Mac/Windows compatible. I'd kill for a Linux build.

I had it several years ago when I was running my own one-man consultancy [ie: self-employed] ... somehow I'd managed to have six or seven people on LI claiming to work for the same…

Love the closeout of the article: "On page 112 there are coffee stains where the caffeine blots are somehow still a valid Perl program."

There were a couple of cartoon series by Cosgrove-Hall that were _really_ well done. (Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music)

I read it, and I cried like a baby. Still do whenever I reach for it.

> LN2 had something in a bathroom? You have to position yourself in the doorway and do a squat of faith) Sounds like every time I go to the bathroom ... :D

I get the same. Work has shifted to being agentic first - and whenever I use anything other than Claude Opus it seems that the model easily gets lost spinning its wheels on even th…

> "I think it depends on what you find enjoyable" Exactly this. I use agents every day to either produce tests for code I've written according to the guidelines I set out for it, o…

You could try the new remake of Avernum 4: Greed & Glory (first part of the second Avernum trilogy - no need to have played the first trilogy as this is entirely standalone): https…

Geez ... that's a heckuvalotta pron consumption ...

> How hard is that to fix? Aren't they using CoPilot? Just ask it to fix the invisible icon. They would, but no-one in the development team are able to log into their PCs due to no…

This was also similar to my first thought. Damn. I want pizza now as well...

No, the truth of the matter is they needed Copilot in there to analyse and identify the bug for them. And then write the code to fix it...

No, but it is an odd trend I’ve noticed on several websites recently, and from an accessibility standpoint is something that should be addressed for any public facing site.

Yup. There were drivers for both the Electron and the BBC Micro (required the Model B IIRC, Model A didn't have enough spare RAM for the software)

Wasn't the Microwriter was it perchance? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwriter
