@wim_v12e It's more that they teach a very sanitized version of it. Like, they don't tell you about the British Empire, or The Troubles, or what the RP accent (that you are supposed to learn) means culturally or from a class perspective. If you hear an Irish or Scottish or whatever accent in media it's often treated as a joke and you aren't really supposed to think about the historical reasons behind that.

@wim_v12e Hmm. Maaaybe? I graduated high school only bit more than 5 years ago and our teachers were pretty UK focused.

It's a bit weird that people consider having to learn English an act of colonization but when someone refuses to translate French or Spanish, that is somehow fine. Maybe they think they are sticking it to the native English speakers, but from my perspective it sounds like "learn the languages of 3+ colonizers instead of just 1".Anyways, I still think English is a perfectly fine lingua franca, but we should teach it without all the British culture. Make that part opt in.

@dualhammers Guix (Linux) as daily driver on laptop and desktop, because it's reproducible, configuring it is relatively easy (working on making it easier for more thing), it lets me use different isolated profiles for different tasks, it supports partial upgrades without breaking things, which I've used several times to roll back upgrades to Blender and/or its dependencies, etc. I consider it the future of Linux and I enjoy working on it.Also postmarketOS on PinePhone because it's light.

If Mozilla weren't a bunch of cowards they'd make it possible and easy to open all youtube links in MPV.

@akkartik @neauoire @alderwick @ekaitz_zarraga Bootstrapped compilers are not antithetical to bootstrappable builds as long as the bootstrap chain is documented and tested. Now that we have Nix and Guix, this is pretty easy to do.

@civodul Would be cool to see similar workflows used by artists. @morevnaproject mentioned before that it would be useful to have a way to specify the software versions used for an animation project and have a tool that sets up the environment for you, and that's pretty much what Guix does already.Extending that to rendering shouldn't be hard.

@ekaitz_zarraga Yup. Plus I don't wanna reimplement layout algorithms. While there is no official deadline, I did want something done. And I might need to make changes quickly, which is why I wanted to stick to formats that I know will have good tooling.

@ekaitz_zarraga I mean, I need a raster final version. The problem is that I might need complex vector shapes and I need a proper visual curve editor for that. Also a color picker.

@ekaitz_zarraga It's what I used to design the book. Inkscape is the only vector tool that I know of.

@ekaitz_zarraga At least text layout is one thing the web is pretty good at. I considered rendering them separately and overlaying them with something like imagemagick, but this was way easier. Now I can tweak the properties in Firefox's dev tools.Might make an HTML file that just includes all of them, so that I can see how the layout looks on multiple outputs.

And yeah, it's pretty cursed that this is what modern computing is.

Texture rendering for SummerSchool animation thingy works! I found an extremely cursed way to do it, which is to use marionette_driver to open a headless IceCat (Firefox) instance and use a short 14 line Python script to navigate to each SVG and take a screenshot of the active element each time.This is the only sane way I found to include proper wrappable text.Now I just need to make the titles fit.

@s_ol have you seen the Reduceron?

@ekaitz_zarraga That Linux syscall emulation is very promising, I really like the thought of a Scheme kernel that is still compatible with (some) Linux software.
