@marioguzman my heart skipped a beat when I was initially assuming you got that running on the device

@wezm @marioguzman See!

now a MacPaint demo with pencil please :)

@kickingvegas Very timely. I was only recently checking whether LISP machines were still being built

@finestructure @inthehands oof yeah, right? I read it earlier today, slated this for diligent processing,and am about to check out the Susan Sontag essay

Friday Free Software Appreciation Day!

👉 jemalloc/jemalloc https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc

This is a C malloc implementation. It's meant to be included into your code, then it'll be used instead of the default function that allocates memory.

I have never thought about replacing that functionality.

Q: How much code can that be?
A: Quite a bit!

This project seems to be quite a feat. I also didn't understand much from a cursory reading. Totally out of my league.

Do I know anyone who read or skimmed the "Project 2025" PDF? I can't find anything in there any time I read a claim online about "XYZ is in the Project 2025 playbook".

@uliwitness Does cmark lack the ++?

I wonder why permanently deleting a couple of spam messages takes so long in #FastMail

@amszmidt @mcrocker diffing buffers is great, too, yes

@dansup Congrats! This is great to hear

I just realize I've been using #QuickSilver for Mac since late 2007.

That's 18 years.

Wait, #Framework laptops only come with AMD or Intel?

@jeffowski Wait they are called "indulgences" in English? That's almost funny on its own

@obrhoff @dasdom @alexsteinerde I see why you want to switch to Zed (eventually) now that all tools are equally bad at debugging :)

@dasdom @alexsteinerde ... then commenting-out code and praying it does something also doesn't count?

@daviwil Reading this page's title was confusing me for a while: https://mentrix.systems/

It's not https://systemcrafters.net/ :)

But it's @diana's project, with a lot of interesting info on its own

@dansup Godspeed and all the best on this journey, it's sorely needed!

@aral oh what the heck now

@pluralistic oooh thank you, that's a lovely bit of nerdery! I remember writing custom XML in the early 2000's and hating every second of it, but I was a teen and too dumb to use a proper editor :)

@pluralistic Do your (excellent!) essays start as a series of Mastodon posts that you then 'unroll' to your blog, or do you start on your blog and automate posting as a thread?
