uint23··on Cterm – The Smallest Terminal Emulator
Hey guys, I'm currently in the middle of creating my own userspace from scratch and I've mostly completed making my terminal emulator

It's really, really small and is cross platform! I made it because I want to be able to use a terminal emulator no matter which OS or display server I'm using.

Only bitmap fonts (BDF) are supported but I've provided a script to convert vector fonts and it has very nice results.

uint23··on Sxwm v1.7 Release
hey everyone!

today i released sxwm v1.7 and after putting a few months of effort into it.

i hope you like it and if not, feel free to drop criticism or make an issue

p.s. it runs on a wii (2006) quite smoothly!

uint23··on How do I get a paid internship as a 16yo developer?
I have also done that and although it may be low, I also made my own externals and skin changers for CSGO a few years ago but sold nothing. Any advice?

I have thought about this because I do it for my friends anyways by RustDesk but currently it seems all the repair shops (like GeekSquad but in the UK) are just fronts for illegal vape shops - who also do repairs. I also tried to sell the same RustDesk service via Discord but no luck with that either.

I also normally do phone, computer repairs and small fixes for family friends and people I know but it's not that frequent and again I've tried to contact most businesses in my area but I don't think they take me seriously due to my lack of qualifications etc.

Do you know any other options for the second option?

I probably could go to a nearby city for cheap but what do you mean by referral?

Ah that makes sense now. I will try newer local companies although I have visited most of them as I live in a smaller community.

Well I'd mainly like experience in something new and something I can put on my CV/Resume. I also would like to gain some money although I don't expect much and I'm happy with minimum wage. I legally can't full-time yet as you are required to be in some form of education until you are 18. After my A-Levels I'm planning to go to Cambridge for Computer Science as I like their course and, well it's quite prestigious but that's well in the future so it can change

Hi, Thanks for the reply! This is basically what I did initially and it did land me a software engineering job at a startup which was owned by my friends dad but that's the extent of it. I had to leave due to approaching exams and couldn't get rehired due to it not doing so well. I live in a quite rural area with not so many people I've basically tried everyone that comes to mind so far.

If you have any other way to contact people I would greatly appreciate it!

uint23··on Switch to a tiling-window-manager TODAY
I'm a 16yo developer making a real world project that I and others can use on a daily basis. The aim for sxwm is that it's a really easy to configure (syntax-wise) tiling-window-manager that doesn't need to be patched and is incomplete like DWM or is bloated like i3. It has less LOC than DWM too which is a plus.

If you are thinking of switching to a tiling window manager, this is a great option to mess around and see if you enjoy it!
