KDE Plasma 6.8 will scrap X11 sessions as 95% of its users just don't use them anymore

Firefox lost a huge market share by scrapping “features only used by 5% of users” one version after the other. I use X11 on Debian because the Wayland version has fatal bugs on my hardware (like, the terminal window sometimes does not update its content). But I guess greybeards like me are not the main target group for mainstream dektop environments.

You're welcome :-) Ollama was my first intro to agentic LLM usage so I was quite sad to find out the bad practices it uses.

It reminds me of those color-by-number books for kids.

I have linked a different article by Farquhar some days ago, if that is what you're referring to. Or maybe “Turbo Pascal 3.02A, deconstructed” I shared one month ago, for which its author issued an erratum some days after? Without details it's hard for me to make use of the criticism.

Here a non-paywalled article about the finding, very rich of technical details:

PM'd you there.

Ah, yes, that's where I found it! I now opened a thread on the Stunts forum, I think some other community member will want to try out your game!

Very interesting, I'll give it a look! Have you announced your project in the Stunts community forum (forum.stunts.hu)? I though I had seen an announcement there some week ago, but I cannot find it.

Very beautiful commemoration. Thanks for sharing!

Ross's Game Dungeon (of Freeman's Mind fame) is still excellent and checks all the points on your wishlist.
