  • I rewrote the build scripts for CvF in Make. No real reason why I just did it. It compiles for macOS and HTML5, I will test more platforms! (04/04/2026)
  • It would be a shame if Haiku introduced age verification. It's such a good operating system. (03/04/2026)
  • I was looking to play some old Android games. They were still using the armeabi-v7a/32-bit ARM architecture and have not been updated for years, many of them delisted from the play store a long time ago. As I only own an iOS mobile device, I cannot play them there. This means I had to use an emulator :) My first intuition was to use BlueStacks, but 1. the Mac version only supports some modern 64-bit architectures and 2. I did not want to install Microslop's devilish OS on my hardware (I single-boot Arch on a spare laptop). I did not know that Waydroid would be a viable option, so I wasted a few hours setting up Windows VMs, but the graphics acceleration was subpar. At one point, I decided to research Waydroid some more and found out that you can use the waydroid-helper tool to install libhoudini (a translation layer adding ARM support) for it. At this point I was able to enjoy my games. I made some adjustments afterwards, but it all worked. (03/04/2026)
