recently I got Lilygo watch 2020 v3, neat watches but um they have the battery on an on/off switch, which I forgot to turn off and ended up with a spicy pillow safely disconnected the battery, put it somewhere safe and waiting hopefully for a replacement FOSS watch btw

Few days ago, I have decided to add Windows setup installer to C3 and it got merged! github.com/c3lang/c3c/p... Why? To simplify installation of C3 on Windows, introduce convenience and make C3 more accessible to beginners.

The feeling when you take a break from a project, then decide to return to it and forget what even has to be done is kinda funny

for some reason udev from systemd requires OpenSSL, however LibreSSL doesn't have such APIs hopefully disabling OpenSSL didn't do something bad

I have finally done it! I (almost) no longer need XP-Pen driver nor OpenTabletDriver and in theory this one should work on FreeBSD as well!

Please, everyone who likes git submodules, save everyone's sanity by not using them and finding alternative methods they're annoying and instead of a simple patch you have to do things like these one could just patch a tag/branch/commit in a file and that's it

We have now added support for following image formats: AVIF, JPEG XL (partially) and WebP JPEG XL partially because there are some animation specific details not handled yet, those will be handled in future releases

We have managed to get libavif and libjxl building, which means you'll be able to load .avif and .jxl files Now to write the loaders and hope for the best! Linux (as of now) requires system installation of brotli 😔

Sometimes when resizing the application window, you may lose internal windows and be unable to get them back... so we added a neat little button that appears when it happens! by pressing the button, every lost internal window gets re-positioned back to the center!

I have figured out why my code wasn't playing around with ASan image manager is a flyweight, if image exists it returns cached image to save VRAM the if serves as a hint can you find the bug?

When selecting a layer (or a layer group), each selected one will get an animated outline so you can easily spot it between all your layers!
