#chibcc is a really cool small little C #compiler https://github.com/rui314/chibicc It's great to have some #alternative #compilers in this #cfamily space!
Again, another reason I use #vim instead of #visual #studio #code by #microsoft https://ghuntley.com/fracture/ In all honesty I could probably #code a reasonable #alternative to #vim in just a few weeks if it only had the #features I regularly use.
These tiny little 10 #cent #mcu #microcontroller #chips are pretty cool: https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/10/22/.. I'd love to see them create a mini #arduino #riscv #alternative , that could be seriously cool!
Interesting, it appears that it may be possible to build an #alternative #gps based on #starlink 's #lowearthorbit #leo #satellites https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/10.. It would be really cool if this could be a #secondary #free #service they are able to provide, perhaps #backed by #governments for a #reduced #cost .
#openrct 2 is a partially #opensource #alternative to #rollercoastertycoon https://openrct2.org/ Unfortunately you need the #game #assets from the #original though. #openttd is an #alternative to #transporttycoondeluxe , but actually implements their own #game #assets https://www.openttd.org/
Interesting #alternative to #bootstrap by #wthree https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/default... As people have #commented , if their other #documentation is anything to go by, this may not be well #documented .

One person has said to pump the brakes on anti Patreon actions, simply because it will affect them #financially https://xeiaso.net/blog/patreon-happenin.. #caution is good, but this comes from a #selfish place.
I tried #kakoune as a potential #vim #alternative and it seems quite nice! https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/kakoune-.. I will say a few things though: missing #line #select with 'V' kind sucks. I also run `:tabe` a lot for running new tabs, and use 'CTRL+SHIFT+<UP/DOWN>' for #navigation . It does seem to be more #user #friendly though - we worth keeping an eye on!
Interesting #implementation of an #email based #comments #section https://tdarb.org/poormans-comment-syste.. Will check this out for #coffeespace ... Could be quite a #viable #alternative to #abusing #deadsocial for this #purpose !
Nice to see #alternative #software to #openscad show up, including one named #cadquery https://hackaday.com/2022/02/04/cadquery.. Still a little under-baked in my #opinion , but the more we see in this space the better!
#youtube taking more steps to #limit the #viral #capability of new #channels https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/c.. It's simply time to leave the #platform , but it's difficult to find the #alternative ...
#linux is looking like a real #viable #alternative to #windows during these days: https://www.windowscentral.com/tired-win..
#eu currently suggesting that the #covid #pandemic could last another 2-3 *years* https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/uk-suf.. I think I can speak on behalf of many people out there, when I say: "fuck that". I think in general we would just prefer to take the #risk knowing what the #alternative looks like.

Then again, it might also serve to put people off of using it...A very interesting piece #terminal #gui #tui called #finalcut https://github.com/gansm/finalcut It apparently is written in #cpp and even supports #mouse #input ! Apparently it is even structured like the #qt #framework ... Really nice stuff!
I want to like #peertube as a #decentralised #youtube #alternative - but it's still too #heavy and not #compatible with other #torrent #clients https://framablog.org/2021/11/30/peertub.. You still can't easily help #seed a #webtorrent ...
I recently checked out #ytdlp - an #alternative or #improvement to #youtubedl https://www.funkyspacemonkey.com/replace.. This offered #significant #speedup in #downloading #youtube #videos - I really suspect that Youtube attempt to #detect the use of youtube-dl and #ratelimit it. This now means that #ytoff - my #invidious alternative loads alot faster: https://github.com/danielbarry/ytoff I will write a #coffeespace #article about it soon.
