smirya0··on Show HN: Stillcolor – Reduce eyestrain on macOS by disabling temporal dithering
Amazing piece of software and investigation into temporal dithering in the non-Intel macs. Thank you!
smirya0··on A KDE Plasma theme that aims to replicate the look and feel of Windows 7
Nice job. I wonder if there's a way to get the font exactly like Windows 7? It looks a bit different.
smirya0··on OnlyOffice: Free open source office suite with business productivity tools
Only missing a real Outlook competitor (EWS).
smirya0··on Show HN: I rewrote the 1990's LambdaMOO server
I hope the VMoo author will consider releasing it open-source.
smirya0··on Google ending Basic HTML support for Gmail in 2024
Very unfortunate. I know many blind people who use screen readers and basic HTML is important to them.

read() would be a killer feature for adoption. There's a ton of MOOs that make use of this in-verb, for menus or other things.

For example:

color = player:choose("Pick a color", {"Red", "Orange", ...});

how did you come to pick Rust (just curious, vs Elixir, Java with Loom, etc)?

Very cool! Is it still using cooperative multitasking? My understanding was MOO verbs/tasks run until the verb does suspend/fork or an input() call happens or something like that, or until the verb runs out of "ticks" and is killed by the VM. How do you do it?

Does it use async I/O / is it one thread still?

You might find this conversation interesting about multi-threading in LambdaMOO: https://groups.google.com/g/moo-talk/c/omF68ZM9rZc/m/B3f-jj4...

Nice. I still use VMOO (anyone remember VMOO)! Is that rmoo/emacs on Fedora?

There's a nice collection of MOO resources: https://lisdude.com/moo/

It is too bad some of the old MOO dbs like ScrabbleMOO and NYC MOO are lost to history...

Does the phone screen PWM free?
