@314 I know so little about the way this works, I didn't even know there was a distinction. 😃

@314 There's additional problems: I don't have the kind of account I need for the app store; and I want to develop on my GNU/Linux laptop, not on a Mac, so I'm assuming this won't work.

@julienxx "something with WebAssembly" sounds intriguing, but I wonder where I'd learn more.

@alexshendi Sadly, Java and JDK are a no-go for me because it reminds me of my day job! 😆

@alexcleac Remember that I need a programming language that produces a web app at the end. Are you recommending EdgeLisp, Parenscript, or JSCL?

@Wolf480pl I want to read gopher on my iOS devies. What's the quickest way to get anything done on a phone? I think it's a web app. What would you do?

@cathal Hahaha, now there's a thought! Perhaps I should just write in whatever and find a to-wasm thing!

Oh no, now I'm thinking about finding a cool language that compiles to Javascript in order to write a Gopher client for the web! But what to use? I like Emacs Lisp, if that's any help. 😄 I wasn't too happy with Clojure an ClojureScript when I tried it. Too much engineering required to get it to work, horrible error messages. Perhaps it got better.
Anyway, do you have recommendations, experiences?

@estebanm Hahaha! I was asked the same questions after going back to a client after two years and I said that of course I need a password reset. I wonder: did they think I'd remember? Or did they think I'd be reusing the same password everywhere? But your ex-colleague's fingers remembered, apparently!

Ah, this is what I was missing: I like <Alt>Tab to switch-windows not switch-applications. I don't like the grouping, I think. It's mostly because I don't use tabs for my terminal emulator: I just open new windows. I had to install the dconf editor to make this change (org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings)

Summer break is achieved when I no longer remember the password for my work account.

@tootbrute To think that at some point in the distant past I thought Cory Doctorow’s Whuffie were a good idea. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_and_Out_in_the_Magic_Kingdom

@ohyran ominous! 😰

@wion Buy they MP3 albums? Give them pocket money to buy tracks and albums on Amazon? That’s where I still buy my stuff.
