@jwildeboer @tagomago yeah. It's a race and let's just hope the transition wins. We can only change our personal lifestyles and advocate for greener policies, no point losing sleep after that

@tagomago @jwildeboer plus the long term impact of accelerating the transition to renewables is likely positive, right? Unlike, cough, Brexit

@schnedan@kif.rocks @bionade24@mastodon.social @binarycat @aral the speed is getting better with the Rust rewrite: https://lca2021.linux.org.au/schedule/presentation/49/

@binarycat @schnedan@kif.rocks @bionade24@mastodon.social @aral there's a GCC Rust front-end in the works too, no? https://rust-gcc.github.io/

Curious which architecture you're interested in that LLVM doesn't yet target. The ones I'm interested in (ARM, RISC-V) are there

@binarycat @schnedan@kif.rocks @bionade24@mastodon.social @aral ah, that's unfortunate. While I like Plan 9 myself, it's probably a bit too niche to claim a significant loss in portability though?

The Guix people have a really neat way of bootstrapping GCC and other tools from much simpler compilers, perhaps something similar is a path forward to get a modern C++ compiler in Plan 9

@thatonecalculator can't believe I haven't heard of Misskey before! Looks really slick but I wonder if I can browse first before creating an account, like I can with Mastodon?

@mwlucas wanted to buy that and ended up buying 8 books 😅

@clacke so many French ones! Do I detect a pattern, or did you just happen to be deep diving on the ones based there first?

@clacke @technomancy @oz yup. I have been in an office tower in Malaysia (which is around 20+% Chinese) where they managed to take out 4, 13, 14 and 24... but forgot about B4

@oz @technomancy reminds me of how in French you "have" an age rather than "are"

@oz @technomancy and of course lucky phone numbers are actually worth more in China!

@veer66 ugh, that's like moving the US capital and calling it Continent

@clacke on that note... I'm going to check out Enlightenment.org tomorrow. Looks nice and light weight, and packaged in most Linux distros already.

Plus I'm nostalgic, haven't run it in 20 years

@lightweight @drwho it's a 501(c)6 so while it's non-profit, it's not the non-profit people are familiar with - the (c)3

From Wikipedia:
> A 501(c)(6) organization is a business league, a chamber of commerce like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a real estate board, a board of trade, a professional football league or an organization like the Edison Electric Institute and the Security Industry Association, that are not organized for profit ...

@clacke @bkhl GUIX System is 64 bit only too, alas, though the stable binary is available in i686
