I didn't know fonts could adjust themselves? But, apparently, you can even play Bad Apple through them... huh. I guess I never questioned how ligatures work. Quite cool.12 Apr 2026 17:35 +0000at://did:plc:bnq5nlo55h6corpoxqsw4ri3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjcv73swqs2mhttps://blacksky.community/profile/floofy.cat/post/3metpv2xpps2sIn VS Code, the indent guides continue extending beyond finished statements without curlies, which is not great with the standart Rust formatting. I don't know if there's a fix but I couldn't it, and it annoyed me so much that I've switched to Zed, which seems fine so far with AI features disabled.14 Feb 2026 19:09 +0000at://did:plc:bnq5nlo55h6corpoxqsw4ri3/app.bsky.feed.post/3metpv2xpps2shttps://blacksky.community/profile/floofy.cat/post/3me2bg7wwns2qI've been using Linux for a while now and I've managed to reduce my Bevy (Rust) fresh compiles from 45 mins to 5 mins, which is amazing. There's Mold, 5x faster Linux-only linker, and Cranelift, a faster compiler that I had trouble getting to run on Windows. Development is more stable on Linux too.04 Feb 2026 16:14 +0000at://did:plc:bnq5nlo55h6corpoxqsw4ri3/app.bsky.feed.post/3me2bg7wwns2qhttps://blacksky.community/profile/floofy.cat/post/3mdyd2in3cs2tI'm new at this and I found squeezing your thoughts into the low character limit to be annoying, yet fun? Sometimes I have to think of synonyms or how to restructure the sentences so that it's shorter, which is kind of fun. You can divide it into multiple posts under the same thread, but yeah03 Feb 2026 21:38 +0000at://did:plc:bnq5nlo55h6corpoxqsw4ri3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdyd2in3cs2thttps://blacksky.community/profile/floofy.cat/post/3mdxul2nru22kI guess I should try to overcome my anxiety/avoidance or whatever and, just, post things here. Perhaps the first post is the hardest and I'll feel more comfortable after the first couple. I've avoided sending anything online in the last 2 years, so, I guess this'll be one step towards fixing that.03 Feb 2026 17:18 +0000at://did:plc:bnq5nlo55h6corpoxqsw4ri3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdxul2nru22k
