@nikitonsky dependabot made some commits and we haven't had a release for a while

Something happened around 2017 and lower-end* system vendors went "screw that, we're getting the fuck out"

We're on the verge of truly great... (checks notes) smart locks, huh?

Wait, the *Disney* movie? Ah, the Aristocats....

@sigue @vindarel Just passing by, but yeah.
Artisanal #808080-on-#888888 designs with 50-weight fonts are the worst. So much talk of accessibility and then we hold something barely legible as iconic.

@reidrac You can use Stackage snapshots as cabal freezes:

In cabal.project:

import: https://www.stackage.org/lts-22.43/cabal.config

Or wget it to cabal.project.freeze

@reidrac Oh, LTS with a 9.8 just came out. Which would be... "stable, no more releases, huh. So, yeah, 9.6 would be the GHC on the desktop for the next year

@reidrac Good one.

Personally I just stick to whatever the Stackage deems LTS since it has the most package coverage (by design). Typically they have LTS-3 support policy from which one can estimate lower bound for GHC majors still in play.

@reidrac there's no "tick-tock" or the lines in releases. Some major releases do stick (8.10, 9.6) and some don't.
Upgrading to a minor is usually a good thing and should take no extra maintenance effort.

@ericflo
Even without the AIs to drive it this can become a universal-ish scripting interface for apps, games, and stuff.

@ericflo 2025 would be the year of AGI on desktop!
