@JayKaySwayDk @TCD Indeed, it works great!

It still works perfectly, and boots into AmigaOS 4.1.

Compared to a classic m68k Amiga, it feels blazingly fast: windows with soft shadows move smoothly on a high-resolution, true-color screen.

That's right! It's the Sam440ep, a rare PowerPC Amiga made by the Italian company ACube Systems!

I'm carrying a surprise exhibit for #PaCommEx... can you tell what it is?

@simontoth O have recently enabled C++20 on an embedded code add, but haven't tried ranges and views yet.

How well do they perform on short sequences? Would code size increase compared to hand-coded loops?

And... do they work with fixed-size containers without heap allocations?

At long last, #SDDM 0.20 released with initial #Qt 6 support and #Wayland.

Wayland support is still marked experimental, but it is enabled by default with the git snapshot shipped by #Fedora 38. Works fine, at least for me.

@benoit No longer 179 bytes though...

For those who can't directly enjoy the compact format, here's a pre-rendered version... but several orders of magnitude larger:

@TCD Awesome! :amiga:

A friend of mine minified Bitshift Variations in C Minor down to 179 bytes:

gcc -xc -oa -<<<'i;n;g(m,t,o){m=("GTj?TG?5"[7&t]+!(n&12|t&2)*9)*i>>o&m&24;}main(s){for(;;putchar(g(8,n=s>>4,8)+g(n,n^s/8,6)+g(n/3,n+s/2%3,6)+g(n/5,n-s%3,5)))s=++i>>10;}';./a|aplay

@etam @kkarhan @kaiengert @thunderbird @mozilla Very interesting indeed. How usable is it, in practice?

@kaiengert @kkarhan @thunderbird @mozilla Oh, I didn't realize my usecase was already supported by #Thunderbird.

I'm mainly interested in managing private keys via gpg-agent even if I'm not using a hardware store at the moment. I would expect desktop apps like Thunderbird to find it via org.freedesktop.Secret.Service, but I can live with some manual configuration.

I'll forward this information to a friend who's been reluctant to upgrade Thunderbird for this same reason.

@mike でしょ！

@kkarhan @thunderbird @mozilla All true, but wasn't gpgme supposed to provide the machine interface for apps like #Thunderbird?

Honestly, I don't know exactly what I was arguing for. I guess I don't care if the backend is NSS or GNU code, as long as it finds my existing keys and trust DB without having to manually export / import / sync.
