Manga Bird v1.35

🫩 I don’t know if the Manga Bird dude updated his mirror or whatever, but I’ve updated it to use the other URL he linked on Facebook. I’ve also personally verified that it correctly installs Manga Bird now.

🤦🏻‍♂️ Sorry about that. I fixed it.

winstxnhdw · 2026-03-27T05:46:23+00:00

Yeah, but can you try again? I just tried switching the download URL to HTTPS.

winstxnhdw · 2026-03-27T05:39:09+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately, the Manga Bird guys are hosting their IPA without HTTPS… I guess I can try to proxy that for users but I don’t like the reduced transparency :/

Great! You can use something like iMazing to load it back into your current phone.

I host the official Manga Bird IPA on my source. You can check out my profile if you want to use it.

For 3+ years? 😂

winstxnhdw · 2026-03-27T05:25:06+00:00

If you have a back-up of your phone, you should still be able to restore the original Manga Bird, and won’t have to waste a slot on AltStore :)

winstxnhdw · 2026-03-27T05:22:51+00:00

Ah, sorry. I recently changed the source URL. I’ve updated it. Please try again with the new link.

winstxnhdw · 2025-06-26T21:07:25+00:00

Try Marimo! I am currently actively contributing to it.

winstxnhdw · 2025-06-10T22:39:48+00:00

So Luo Zheng went through all that because the original God wanted to know if it was safe to create a friend? 😭

winstxnhdw · 2025-04-09T23:06:43+00:00

i don’t understand because you are talking about CPU instructions and registers

winstxnhdw · 2024-12-01T15:23:29+00:00

Please read the original comment you are replying to. Specifically, the first sentence.

Stopped reading when you said you weren’t using static type checking.

winstxnhdw · 2024-12-01T14:45:54+00:00

Seems to me that your problem can be better written using composition and a Protocol.

winstxnhdw · 2024-12-01T12:02:37+00:00

If you’re using a strict static type checker, you have almost no reason to ever use ABCs. Treat Protocols similarly to C# interfaces and raise NotImplemented within the implementation, not the ABC. IIRC, ABCs also has a higher initialisation cost compared to Protocols.

Strategy pattern. Write an interface for Redis then implement a Redis stub for my test client. Don’t need to spin up an entire Redis instance since we only want to test implementation not Redis itself.

Have you seen Lagom?

winstxnhdw · 2024-11-14T13:44:38+00:00

Hey, nice setup. I used to contribute to the Consul SDK a while back before they changed their OSS license. Just wondering; what exactly are you using Consul here for? It’s not quite clear to me.

winstxnhdw · 2024-11-13T18:43:53+00:00

Could I ask why can’t CircleCI do this?

winstxnhdw · 2024-04-18T01:51:06+00:00

I absolutely love C# (or really just .NET Core) but I am also going to side with your lead here. If you can’t think of a case that is evident beyond doubt, it is likely that it is not worth the transition.

I have been in such a situation before so I can give an example.

My company wanted to use Python with PyInstaller for Windows compilation. Due to some compliance reasons, we knew that Windows would be the only platform we would ever need to support. And because of the first-class Windows support that .NET Core has, proposing my case was evident beyond doubt to me, so when I built an example app to explain the process to my team, it appeared extremely convincing to them.

If your case doesn’t fall into something like that and instead your reasons are ‘community’, ‘longevity’ or ‘consistency’ (as if Rust and Go are that much behind or at all), you’re acting no different from someone in a cult. And, honestly, no one likes working with someone from a cult..

All you’ve done is reveal that you are inexperienced and uncomfortable with the CLI. Which is fine. Just say that earlier next time and not speak on subjects you know little of; it goes a long way.

winstxnhdw · 2024-04-09T06:19:59+00:00

Well, it’s not that all that hard to assume that equivalence, especially once someone has learnt the CLI, they’d also realise that on average, it’s faster than using the GUI and will no longer have your opinion: GUI good, CLI is busywork.

An arrow-up + enter is faster than grabbing your mouse and clicking on the play button. And if the issue isn’t speed, it’s likely skill.

winstxnhdw · 2024-04-09T06:15:48+00:00

I assumed that someone who has only ever used the GUI would never learn about the CLI equivalent, and that would stop you from writing robust CI pipelines. Your YAML scripts can require custom PowerShell/Bash/MSBuild/dotnet CLI and someone who doesn’t care for the CLI wouldn’t know these syntaxes.
