I have an almost identical RSS experience using emacs+elfeed+firefox but with the added bonus of being able to filter out articles (eg sport) that I'm not interested in. Plus I can read many other feeds beyond BBC.

Thanks for callcentric/linphone - I got them subscribed and installed and can now drop skype - at last!!! I might even pull out the old Grandstream handset (that I used to use with pennytel before they closed) out of storage and use it with callcentric.

Here's another library I've been using for several years:

Ha Ha! You found me!

In my case swaywm (and previously i3wm).

I have 3 persistent programs that tile and the rest float - when I had swaywm set to 'tile', it became such a burden to write 'for_window' clauses for every new transitory program.

If I want it to tile, it's easy enough to $mod-Space it.

On my daily driver, firefox & mythtv have their own workspaces. On another workspace, emacs gets a half-screen and 2 terminals get a quarter screen. I set them up at session start and that's 95% of what I need. After that, everything gets a floating screen - which is what many of the apps expect and need.

I also have some scripts that automatically summon floaters from the scatchpad and fit them on the screen (without changing their size, so not tiling).

It's all here, if anyone is interested: https://gitlab.com/wef/dotfiles

While we're being nostalgic, VDE, a WordStar clone, was another miracle of tiny code. I still run it now and then in a DOSEMU emulator on Linux.

... and it's wayland-native!

Just a quick question while I'm here - what really is the point of using the GPU? Surely the CPU is adequate for a terminal's modest needs?

... I have an NVidia POS on my lappy but I don't game or use the GPU at all - in fact I removed the drivers so it doesn't drain the battery at all.
