A point in usability in Unix™ vs Plan 9: I can never remember which program to use on BSD or Linux to take a screenshot. Grimshot? Maim? Import? What is all this nonsense.
When I want to do the same in Plan 9 it's just /dev/screen. I can get its size by reading it. I can save it to an image by reading it (it is an image). This goes with all the other things - they are files with the names one expects, instead of some weird-ass programs with strange names that may or may not work because of environment differences.

Took me some time to figure out how to make the lisp-to-bytecode compiler in lisp compile the updated version of itself so it can then compile itself so it can run on the updated vm so it can compile... :angry_laugh:

@sigrid self-hosting hell! :blobhaj_reach: Oh that's a better solution than what I did, where I'd have two versions side-by-side.

A reminder that OpenType fonts can have glyphs as gzip-compressed SVG with base64-encoded PNGs and CSS animations.

Not kidding.

#uxn for Android got an update. Big thanks to Nathan Korth who sent me a patch to fix issues related to aspect ratios in portrait/landscape modes cutting off edges of Uxn's screen.
Februrary version of Uxn along with SDL updates as well.
