after 15+ years away from Linux, I found installing "Git Bash"s big brother MSYS2, and making myself use it instead of cmd, was a good way to re-learn w/o having to switch OS, if you're still on Windows. Avoids the whole 'WSL2 is a VM' thing, and bash scripts are better than batch files anyways

Thrilled to see that the @msys2org.bsky.social folks have started packaging passagemath for mingw-w64. The native Windows packaging is enabled by the modularization of the #SageMath library in the passagemath project. packages.msys2.org/packages/min... #Python #FOSS

Made the switch from MSVC to MSYS2 Clang for new projects. Now that I have a sane package manager for dependencies I've been having a lot of fun learning more about CMake install rules & making PKGBUILDs for a few missing libraries.

Finished working on a CI script to build libbluray & ffmpeg with my hacked up custom patches. Posted a couple of issues I found with @msys2org.bsky.social along the way, all of which were fixed within a day. Much love to their team for making development on Windows an enjoyable experience.
