RE: lets talk about the phasing out of haluim
if anyone is dogging the use of a modern tool to make software development easier ....they DO NOT KNOW THE STUGGLE!!! .....at the end of the day i find it offends peoples ego ...then the talk about "replacment" ...i get it ....but the truth is nothing in this world lives up to its hype .....give AI your whole project and see how quickly you go from "almost" to ....shit do i have a backup copy of the project anywhere? ...lol learned all this the hard way ....im 43 ...the government stole my retirement plan ...so my thinking is harness AI and play catch up

RE: UT Fork request
@developerbayman personally. I think it would just be easier to use math to render to smaller displays .....also i think clickable is terrible .....not so much in itself as much as it has zero historical draw on past development resource........i hit this point of frusteration because we have to reinvent the wheel on everything that has already been done so i go to dev....and.....built in python is too minimal no pip nothing ......does libertine even work? I cant get it to work ....never seen it work ......heard it working more as a rumor .......iv developed a thonny clone just for ubuntu touch but now i have to figure out how to embed a fully working python environment in the app itself ........im getting frusterated because i would be done with the project but ubuntu isnt ubuntuing ........or at the very least can we please have full python .......also i cannot seem to edit the sources.list anymore even after setting to RW
