@latenightlinux I think it does damage to users' and developers' standards for software quality. It shouldn't be normal to ship such horribly bloated software, and sadly it now is. It was a great step for cross platform development, but new tools have so greatly improved the experience. New projects probably ought to avoid electron. Is there something I'm missing?

@Nagaram If you go for Latin, "Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Familia Romana" is an excellent book. I've been using it to learn latin myself. I've been meeting with a tutor from Preply online who is teaching based on the book. There ought to be quite a few people teaching based on that book since it's quite popular.

PolyMATHY on YouTube has some great resources for latin and he also has spoken quite highly of this book.

Legentibus is also a great app for learning Latin.

TIL iOS has hidden support for custom animated wallpapers and this is probably the coolest thing I’ve done to my iPhone in years
