This script allows you to install unsigned extensions (ones that aren't approved by Mozilla) on normal Firefox builds and the official Snap! That's right, no "Firefox Developer Edition" nonsense required!
This script is not well tested, like at all. This script might break things, possibly important things. You should probably take a backup of your Firefox profile before using it. You have been warned.
sudo apt install -y curl unzip zip
# Only needed when jailbreaking the Snap
In the last years I've been asked multiple times about the comparison between raylib and SDL libraries. Unfortunately, my experience with SDL was quite limited so I couldn't provide a good comparison. In the last two years I've learned about SDL and used it to teach at University so I feel that now I can provide a good comparison between both.
Hope it helps future users to better understand this two libraries internals and functionality.
I want Microsoft to do better, want Windows to be a decent development platform-and yet, I constantly see Microsoft playing the open source game: advertising how open-source and developer friendly they are - only to crush developers under the heel of the corporate behemoth's boot.
The people who work at Microsoft are amazing, kind, talented individuals. This is aimed at the company's leadership, who I feel has on many occassions crushed myself and other developers under. It's a plea for help.
You probably haven't heard of it before, but if you've ever used win32 API bindings in C#, C++, Rust, or other languages, odds are they were generated from a repository called microsoft/win32metadata.

This is a remainder for myself because I need to run Mathematica once a year. Often the version I use is different from nixpkgs.
First you find a copy of Mathematica_12.1.0_LINUX.sh or similar and find its sha256sum.
Then you go to nixpkgs
and copy all Mathematica files to a local directory.
You need to modify default.nix and wrap its contents into
let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
in pkgs.callPackage (
There was a reddit post about installing Arch on NTFS3 partition. Since Windows and Linux doesn't have directories with same names under the /(C:\), I thought it's possible, and turned out it was actually possible.
If you are not familiar to Linux, for example you've searched on Google "how to dualboot Linux and Windos" or brbrbr... you mustn't try this. This is not practical.
