Updates to my #Windows software is not guaranteed due to the horrible direction #Windows11 is going in. If you wish to have more updates, it may be necessary to fork the stuff that interests you most and continue them that way. If I get bored I might still update something. My plan is to go with C++ on #Linux and #QtQuick for GUI stuff. May shift my Windows focus to Wine and #ReactOS .
#programming

Programs impacted include at least: #guinget , #UXLLauncher , other Windows-only stuff

Sadly VS2022 doesn't really support something like that, but maybe VS2010 can work. I wanted to do a #Mastodon client for #WindowsPhone as a novelty, but I don't want to run out the clock on #Windows10 before other important stuff is done.

After posting this I decided to just mainly do C++ and QtQuick for GUI stuff on Linux since it builds faster on my PinePhone and system-level dependency management is easier to deal with/doesn't require me to build stuff besides my own code.

The first post has been updated accordingly to mention me mainly using C++ instead of Rust and a few of the affected Windows programs. As of June 18, 2025, I'm going to be updating at least guinget again because not having important stuff in binary versions bothers me, and I might work on UXL Launcher to clear out the stuff I want that to have. Changes in guinget will include: everything in the main branch, reading manifests directly from zip files, source management, better manifest downloads.

"Better manifest downloads" being "I'm going to use a user agent string to hopefully not have Microsoft block it like I think they were and I'll use the cache better where it won't update if it just updated too recently".
