There are many things I'd like to help improve in Zig. But the Language Proposals page makes me hesitant to contribute at all:

Please do not file a proposal to change the language

Thank you for your interest in improving the Zig language. However, we are not accepting new proposals to change the language.

If you wish to make a language proposal, you must convince a Zig core team member to file it on your behalf and champion it. Some are paid contractors and some are volunteers, and they all freely choose how to spend their time. A core team member may be willing to champion proposals, or maybe not, at their discretion. Please do not harass Zig core team members.

General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software. - ziglang/zig

Nice! Looks like @fireborn s post about Linux accessibility is gaining popularity, as @BrodieOnLinux has done a video, which I am just watching now. Here's the link in question: youtube.com/watch?v=KvxdkmPka2…

I think it's just right place right time, desktops like GNOME are looking to go Wayland only, Fedora wants to do the same on Workstation and KDE, COSMIC is entering beta soon and it's Wayland only, RHEL 10 just came out and that's Wayland only. And everyone kind of knows that things are not at the level they should be

Our societies and governments now largely run on American proprietary big-tech platforms. Many of us want to decrease this dependency, or even end it altogether. Here I wrote up a bunch of things we are doing wrong, and what the open world could do better: berthub.eu/articles/posts/what…

Nevím, jestli i dnes. Je to pět let stará zkušenost: blog.eischmann.cz/2020/11/12/s…
Od té doby si dávám pozor, jakou klávesnici používám.

Softwarové klávesnice na Androidu

Softwarové klávesnice v mobilu jsou něco, co jsem doteď vůbec neřešil. Používal jsem to, co bylo na daném telefonu jako výchozí. Nicméně když si uvědomíte, že přes ně jde vše, co na mobilu napíšete, rozhodně stojí za trochu pozornosti.

Enjoy writing fiction in Markdown, and prefer keeping ownership of your files in the filesystem, but still want beautiful ePub3 ebooks and paperback output? Your uncle Matt feels the same way!

I created a configuration and example project for pandoc, the fab #FOSS markup converter, to produce beautiful novels from your folders full of Markdown files. Lots of booky, novel-y, typographical/layout niceness. I'll be using this with #emacs. 💜

Read all about it here: github.com/mattgemmell/pandoc-…

I literally just made a bootable live cd for nixos to boot into a browser on a whim for a test. I had 0 knowledge of this 10 minutes ago and 5 of those minutes was writing the iso to the usb stick. Nix surprises me again. And you can make any type of image you want... digitalocean, ec2, hyperv, vmware, etc. Its nuts:

Sadly, you will never be able to read Andy Weir's 'The Last Algorithm,' one of multiple non-existent books recommended by the Chicago Sun-Times in major AI snafu

The Sun-Times has just offered the best argument against using generative AI in journalism, publishing a recommended summer reading list filled with books that aren't actually real.
