I suppose I just don't get surprised or upset anymore when another proprietary vendor does something silly but we have to survive in their environment.
I think this is entirely a Microsoft problem, even if I fear that we might need to patch something ugly into curl to mitigate the worst risks.
It is absolutely, entirely and 100% a Microsoft problem.
And it is a prime example of "Marcitecture":
"Whatever you do with this Unicode thing, DO NOT UPSET PROGRAMMERS so much the might look at other platforms! All existing code SHALL JUST WORK!!1!"

Command line parsing on Windows is a pain; I haven't used Windows compilers in over a decade, so I don't know if you can get a
int main(int argc, wchar_t* argv[])
entry point these days. Using that should parse the command line as Unicode text and then one can convert each argument to UTF-8 or whatever and call the real "main" with that.

Two years since my last blogged update on URL standards, the situation has not improved one bit:
daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/01/10…
I have had my share of adventures with URL parsers and their differences in the past. The current state of my research on the topic of (failed) URL interoperability remains available in this GitHub document.daniel.haxx.se
hopefully there'll be a third standard soon (if we can get anyone to take meta-URIs)
(it'll be slightly incompatible with both existing standards)

It's very, very obvious why people hate AI anything when shit like this is what you get back.
Here's a video that came up in my recommendations, very clearly made with #Suno and I wasn't going to call it out publicly until I realised that the creator deleted my comment to someone else asking if AI Was used to write it.
Now I will.
Nowhere in the description does it say this was all made with AI.
Nowhere does it say 'Yeah I just gave Suno a prompt and let it generate some banal shit.'
I have a serious, serious problem with this. It's disingenuous and the comments are full of praise for the music, and absolutely no negative comments.
If mine has been removed (which was just asking the creator to disclaim his content) then how many others have been removed too?
Full disclaimer: *I* use Suno, but I give it my material, get itt to cover it and *always* say when I've done so, no exceptions.

in reply to Julian Sparber • • •there is a broken branch that I started before gtk4 was in 4.0 and broke as more API got removed. The main issue is that it build menus and that API was yanked. And moving to use GMenu, the work in incomplete. Not sure if I published the WiP branches but I can do that if needed.
My strategy is to try do as much in the gtk3 code. Like moving to Event Controllers, GMenu, etc.
