I just released a small tool I have been using for a few months now. Quickcpp lets you quickly build and run single-file C++ experiments: https://github.com/agateau/quickcpp/

Just released version 0.20.0 of Pixel Wheels. Brings in a revamp of the Antonin car, a new menu music, refreshed "new personal record" screen and a bunch of bug fixes (including gamepad support on Android).

Thoughts on Copilot: I assume this licensing issue could be fixed by adding a way to tell Copilot "only suggest me code based on training material released under $license".

I don't know enough about AI to know if it is possible for Copilot to work on subsets of its training material, though.

TIL on Debian, files with a "." in /etc/cron.d are ignored (because they could be foo.dpkg-something files left there after uninstalling a package)

Just spent 30m cursing after my IRC client for not being able to identify me on Freenode (still have friends there). NickServ would refuse my password, and strangely enough the NickServ messages would also appear in my libera.chat connection...

Then I had an epiphany and realized irc.ubuntu.com now points to the libera.chat network!

It's a good thing I used different passwords for the two networks, otherwise I would have been able to identify and it would have been even weirder to debug.

Hi #linuxgamers! Looking for a new laptop, to do development and a bit of gaming. From what I understand, Intel GPU are vastly under-powered and NVidia GPU laptops are still a pain to run smoothly on Linux. Am I right to assume the safest bet is an AMD GPU?
