These errors were much more common before Unicode encodings were in broad use. Unicode pretty much solved this.

Can't confirm that. In the 90s encodings were a nightmare. ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15, CP1252, IBM850, ... If you tried to build a website with an upload form, you'd get the most bizarre encodings and there was no way to reliably distinguish them. I'm not an English native, my world is full of umlauts and s-z ligatures. Things got A LOT better in the last years, thanks to Unicode encodings.

I'm using Sailfish OS on a Jolla C2 phone. The OS is great, very good native software and it also runs Android apps.

Le Chat and Mistral Vibe are very good products. I use Vibe on a daily basis. Works very well with my style (relatively small iterative steps, very exact prompts) and it's often faster than the competition.

I pre-ordered, because I really like my C2. The new phone should be even better.

wyrd + remind

After over 25 years of using Vim exclusively I'm completely unable to work on a computer without it.

I use RSS to watch YouTube videos. I collect the ULRs of the videos I want to watch in a text file using my feed reader (Newsboat). In the evening a script transfers the file to my TV computer and fetches the videos with yt-dlp.

To play the videos I use another script, which plays and then trashes the video files in a loop.

Pros: no ads, no buffering videos during playback, plays videos without interaction (like TV), can collect video URLs over day, don't have to bother with YouTube's user interface, cookies etc.

Some components are proprietary. See https://docs.sailfishos.org/Develop/Open_Source/ .

Jolla is in the process of open sourcing components. See this forum post from today .

Works well enough for me, it's comparable to my Android phones. But I'm not a heavy GPS user.

I'm not partial to the martial
Or the plutocrats, in their beaver hats
And the fascists have the outfits
But I don't care for the outfits
What I care about is music
And the communists have the music

OCaml is a horse...

IMHO you should use OCaml for web projects. Dream is great for small websites and RESTful servers. Ocsigen is ... astonishing. I would definitely recommend taking a look at it.

You are welcome. I started using remind in 2005 and it has been my dependable and powerful companion ever since. This software is a piece of art. The same is true for wyrd, which is rock solid and blazing fast.

I just wrote down simplified versions of my scripts. Then I clicked the wrong button to exit the markdown preview and now it's all gone. I'll have to drink a beer now, sorry. If you have any specific questions, I'll answer them gladly.
