Re:Win32 is the stable Linux ABI

NTDLL APIs are very stable[0] and you can even compile and run x86 programs targeting NT 3.1 Build 340[1] which will still work on win11.
[0] as long as you don't use APIs they decided to add and remove in a very short period (longer read: https://virtuallyfun.com/2009/09/28/microsoft-fortran-powers...)

Re:UTF-8 as told by Rob Pike
on Saturday September 20, 2025 @01:03AM (#45310542)
win32s brings codepage to/from widechar APIs and codepage table files (P_*.NLS), and a setting "AnsiCP=" in [NLS] section in win32s.ini.
16bit IE brings its own MSNLS.DLL for handling different codepages to ACP(Active Codepage) in Win3.1x.
and win9x also works mainly in ANSI codepage with some kernel side unicode support.
Re:UTF-8 is a brilliant design

"what about using VLQ as a Unicode transformation format?"
a rough implementation is not hard. (for writing, my implementation will write BOM in beginning and only do 28bits)

Re:I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)
on Wednesday July 16, 2025 @10:10PM (#44589009)
but I missed MicroSD slot. I think my requirement is simple: not too wide (<=70mm), has 3.5mm audio pack, and has MicroSD slot.
and end-up only Sony products comes out. and I sacrificed performance for a shorter phone so I bought Xperia Ace III.
but I don't know when will my ISP shutdown GSM-1800. If this happens I have to buy Xperia 10 series then.
