Schultz, a cross platform retained mode UI toolkit based on SDL and written in C is available now here. It was built for Aussom Mobile but can be used on its own. Cheers! github.com/rsv-code/sch...

That’s the whole point of using the package maintainers version though, they “should” ensure that the one they supply plays nicely with the other software like the kernel and dependencies. Installing manually puts you in the position to have to maintain it.

Yah man, thanks! Really frustrating, they pushed the 7 kernel to Ubuntu 24.04 systems, which broke their own package maintained version of Virtual Box, which many of us rely on. I was able to boot into 6.8 and then block apt from upgrading to the 7 kernel. Was an annoying waste of an hour though.

Shame on #ubuntu for ramming Linux 7 kernel down our throats on older versions breaking everything.

#aussom release today provides closures and operator overloading language support. There’s now Aussom CLI support on Raspbian aarch64 for Raspberry Pi which includes headless support for JavaFX with Monocle and libglass in a .deb installer. And the first release of the Aussom Graphical REPL! #java

I ported Aussom interpreter to C, and what I found was surprising. The Java version overall was faster. What I found is that JIT was providing a lot of performance that simply porting to C couldn’t beat without optimizations.

Time for my annual repost of this banger by Australian artist Denis Lushch. Ever-more relevant with each new horrible year.

Three men sit at a table.

At left, a destitute man sits with no plate.

At right, a working man sits with a plate containing one cookie, listening to the man in the center.

Sitting in the center is an old man in a business suit (looking suspiciously like right-wing media tycoon Rupert Murdoch) who is pointing at the destitute man, while speaking to the working man, saying:

"Careful Mate... that foreigner wants your cookie!"

Sitting in front of the man at center is his own plate, which contains MANY MANY COOKIES.

Like 98% compute/bandwidth is bare metal. The cloud is great for small projects (costs are low) and highly profitable projects (costs matter less). But it fails projects that need to scale as efficiently as possible. Moving Bluesky to bare metal reduced costs by 10-100x and saved many millions.
