@kelbot I've heard good things about Riot.im which runs on matrix as well. I plan on self hosting an instance soon

@Mac_CZ @fribbledom blender works for sculpture type pieces but it's not great for mechanical design work due to its weak parametric modeling features (everything is really just a polygon in blender)

I tried finding a modern and easily hackable webmail client that I could start from but not having much luck. I'd like to avoid php and jQuery...What FOSS webmail clients do folks use?I've checked out:SquirrelmailRainloopRoundcube#AskMasto

@art certainly good news.I just wish RISC-V chips were cheaper. Someone needs to convince a major phone supplier to use the chips so we can benefit from economies of scale.Also, do we have an open GPU core we can pair with RISC-V yet?

@natecull if you like js, repls and microcontrollers checkout espruino. It's a micro that boots to a js repl you interact with over a serial terminal like minicom

@natecull I like the tight feedback loop of repls. Screw compiling, I want to be able to inspect, modify and extend my code at runtime (sure you can technically do that with any debugger but it's a PITA)

@grainloom@natecull Squeek OS was basically a fully inspectable/interactive GUI OS. You could click on any element you could see on the screen and view and manipulate its object properties at runtime.

@grainloom @natecullI remember the first time I opened a Tetris-like game on Squeek OS, I clicked a tetrino block and it had a property called gravity so I changed it to be negative. The block immediately started gravitating to the top of the screen instead of the bottom. EVERYTHING in the OS was like that.I guess it never caught on, but it was wild.

@grainloom @natecull I mean at this day in age do we really are about performance when most desktop apps are just entire browsers bundled with some static js and CSS files? Slack, vscode, etc.

@grainloom @natecull I wouldn't go so far to say that anyone that uses electron is a "bad" dev. It's just a quick way to convert your webshit into an "app" you can ship with little to no effort. Sadly performance is an afterthought. That said vscode runs surprisingly well for what it is.

@grainloom@natecull I totally agree on the disposable computing front. I say this typing from a 3+yo discount bin Android phone.Developers really should do all their development on and target the average to below average consumer device. Anything else is just punishment for the majority of users.

@ajroach42 @dirtycommo you can do composite output from the TIA pretty easily. Anything fancier would require some work

@kelbot I enjoyed the CHIP boards while they lasted. Luckily there are a bunch of cheap arm-based pocket computers these days to fill the void left by CHIP.
