Nice to see Newgrounds is still alive and more or less unchanged since its early days. With so many of the creative spaces online becoming highly censored hellholes, having a more laissez-faire platform is a breath of fresh air.

Looks like the page got hugged to death...

I've used proot in the past but it crashed often, I'm interested in finding other rootless chroot-like projects.

w64devkit is an absolute joy to use, and I'm surprised that it's still not widely adopted by devs. Extracting a single ZIP archive to get a complete POSIX environment on Windows with all kinds of build tools is nothing short of impressive, and it even supports Windows XP! (minus CMake and a couple other tools)

> Just dynamically link against the oldest glibc you want to support.

Just the other day I tried running an older binary and it failed with a glibc error, despite it being linked to a glibc version that's barely 5 releases behind the one on my system. So maybe glibc isn't backwards compatible after all...

    > Even if you use OpenGL you still need to write shaders.

Not in OpenGL 1.x

Where does it say that the OS was vibe coded?

Excellent write-up. Does anyone have the source of the background image shown in the last screenshot?

Looks interesting... Is there an equivalent encoder that can be used with this to generate VHS footage purely in software?

Could you provide a link to your project?

I see what you mean, but ultimately the video shows both the social worker and the judge were on the couple's side, despite the first impression... The social worker was painted as this very bureaucratic person who follows the rules to a tee, while still being sympathetic to the couple's situation. And the judge was painted as the intimidating figure with the final say, who eventually rules in favor of the couple and gives the child a permanent home. I agree with the other commenter who said the story was too good to be true, so the film making some artistic decisions for dramatic effect doesn't sound too bad.

Inspiring to see the couple accomplish this and in the early 2000s no less. Wishing them all the best. If you haven't already, watch the animated short film[1] by Zombie Studio. It was my introduction to this case before reading the article.

The mirrors one was part of the PC game[1], I remember it vividly.

Debian offers Nvidia drivers as well although they tend to be outdated. Thankfully you can use Nvidia's official .deb repos to get the latest drivers on both Debian and Ubuntu.

That's quite the impressive feature set. I do want to use Kdenlive but coming from Shotcut I didn't find the UI as easy to use, especially when it comes to handling the timeline... Maybe I'll try it again one day.

The official website states on the front page:

    This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed.

Absolutely amazing collection, and it has lossless FLACs too! Many thanks to the fans and IA for making this possible.

Remember to donate and help keep the Internet Archive alive.

Ninja is great and feels natural coming from Make. What it lacks in features it makes up for with speed, which is what ultimately matters.

Also worth mentioning is samurai[1], a pure C implementation of Ninja that's almost as fast yet easier to bootstrap needing only a C compiler.

> Stable ABI literally only benefits software where the user doesn’t have the source

Stable ABI benefits everyone. If I need to recompile a hundred packages with every OS update instead of doing real work then there's something seriously wrong with my OS.

wxWidgets is just a wrapper around existing UI libraries; win32 on Windows, and Gtk/Qt on *nix.

These are beautiful, thank you for sharing. I really like the one with the triangles, was it inspired by Rule 30?

I've almost never seen SFML used in the wild. Does it offer anything significant over SDL?

> Seems like films mostly switched over to "modern" acting in the 70s

Can you elaborate on this point? I think I agree with you, I just don't know why.

> that guy asked Stack Overflow how to make gcc compile his .png

Do you have a link to this? All the search results I'm getting are related to libpng.

I'm guessing the pain of fighting the various build systems that insist on dynamic linking, sometimes against the user's explicit wishes.
