Rider was a better Visual Studio than Visual Studio, IMO.
I have never used either of them before, but Rider was easier to understand for me.
Also it can render text correctly, in the font I chose, unlike VS.
I like readable text.

So #eunomia is basically a precursor of personal editors from Neal Stephenson's "Dodge in Hell". https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2021/10/eunomia-public-pilot-launch/

As humans we have no fangs (or teeth which could process raw meat and bones), a long intestine which is bad for processing raw meat and our speed is slower than most predators which is awful for hunting.

Our focus should be eating plants, not animals. Everbody who thinks otherwise is lieing to himself and ignoring his anatomy.

Hey #Windows devs. What do you do when a project you're trying to build requires pkg-config?

Do you go into the rabbit hole of MinGW? Use whatever choco has? Cry and run into the woods?

Gotta find some speakers that I can use with the digital piano. Without headphones it's a bit easier to work on the timing, when you hear the klonk of the keys.

On an unrelated topic, you can do me a favour by playing around with @Eunomia's first public pilot for a bit over on https://mastodon.eunomia.social

Just need some people to post stuff and press buttons and see how it works.
