Now I realize all the wait for the COSMIC desktop environment was worth it.
Even though it’s still unstable and has some annoying bugs, it’s enjoyable, practical, and can be really pretty.
Best of all, I can use as i3-like tiling manager without setting everything up from scratch.

Esporadic recomendation:

> Forbidden World (1982)

I've to confess, I'm not the most trustworthy guy to recommend anything. What can I say? I love b films with personality and practical fx.
It's a sort of Alien, The Thing, Cassete Futurism Aesthetic and more in just one trashy film.

Obviously it has its problems, but is really enjoyable to watch (and its visuals are awesome)

Unfortunately, I'm not entirely into the free software movement, but Richard Stallman is worth listening to. I don't think this is an economically viable system for all kinds of programs, but it still aims to give the community more power than big tech usually does.

@akaetis I quite like the synesthetic feel of some of these albums. This and Seventeen Seconds are at the top of my favourite The Cure records.

It’s finished, at least partially. These are my web scraping microservices for Brazilian public exams (“concursos”). They are simple: they scrape three sources and return a JSON-like API response with more readable information.

I have a personal project in mind, and from time to time I implement some of its features.
At the same time, I’m really into open source, and there’s nothing fairer than sharing.
So, if you’re interested, why not check out my API?

It returns a JSON response with dice results (standard dice or RPG-focused dice).
You can choose the number of sides and the quantity of dice to roll.

@davej I thought it was a fan creation. But I can imagine them trying to get the d20 fashion.
@cyberpunkhub I'm really into in 80's cyberpunk and cassette futurism. There's a strange charm in analogic overtechnology.
@Reid_Sisson I'm a bit worried in play Sword 'n Soceries with Pathfinder or d20 system as Pathfincer and DnD overall, I'm not sure if it fits properly.
Maybe some OSRs (as Old Dragon 2, Sharp Swords & Sinister Spells...) are more recommended. Or maybe a Savage Worlds campaingn.

During testing for a personal project, I published a small standalone function in a separate repository for general use or reference.

It simply reads a given directory (in example, the project directory) and returns a JSON object.

The project is released under the MIT licence. Although it allows proprietary use, I strongly value open-source.
