It's funny (and honestly embarrassing) how software installation is a solved problem for *decades* everywhere except on Windows. (Also Windows apparently still has >70% market share on desktop computers, wtf?)

Fina built a Gtk GUI based on #wormhole-rs called Warp! https://gitlab.gnome.org/felinira/warp
I had plans and prototypes to do something like this myself too, so I'm really happy somebody beat me to it.

Are there any mice where the 3rd button doesn't give up after just a few years? With every mouse I've had so far, it was always the first thing that broke.

STOP SPEAKING FRENCH

- You are not supposed to use your nose when speaking
- Years of conjugating verbs yet no real-world use found for Passé simple
- Wanted to have complex grammar rules anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called Latin
- "Nous allâmes au restaurant et fûtes très ravi mais le serveur voulut que je payasse avec carte" – Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

This may also be a good opportunity to pipe your nickname and display name into `espeak` or some other TTS service and check whether this is how you want to be perceived as by screen reader users.

Yes I know, your name is valid, but:
If you use a hash or some other random character sequence as name then I won't be able to distinguish you from other people that do the same.
