@kimcrawley let me add https://hacktivis.me/projects/badwolf and https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser for the web browsers

@kimcrawley I’ll be honest, I’m kinda pumped about using Gentoo again. It taught me a lot two decades ago.

@kimcrawley It’s getting so hard to opt out of this stuff on the dev side, too. Apple is baking "intelligence" deep into Xcode and the new SDKs, meaning those of us trying to maintain indie iOS apps are basically forced into their AI pipeline just to keep compiling and shipping.

@kimcrawley I am so pleased that this is doing so well!

(For whatever reason, Kickstarter doesn't send me notification of messages, so others might be in the same boat - I've only just seen messages from you...)
