C-Macs – a pure C macOS application
It's open source but it is still under copyright. There are notices in the source file:
https://github.com/CodaFi/C-Macs/blob/master/CMacs/View.c#L5...
I would definitely ask permission and encourage the author to change the license before using this code.
Since API calls are purely functional and not covered by copyright you can mimic the behavior here but you'll need to rewrite everything from scratch, notably the most expressive parts, which are:
https://github.com/CodaFi/C-Macs/blob/master/CMacs/CMacsType...
https://github.com/CodaFi/C-Macs/blob/master/CMacs/CMacsType...
The organization and structure of this code is arbitrary and within the author's creative expression.

Show HN: Dillo 3.1.0 released after 9 years
I couldn't get dillo to compile easily on macos, it doesn't seem to detect ssl libraries installed on the system)
you can do this to compile it on macos (tested on M1):
install https://www.xquartz.org/ to have X11
brew install fltk libjpeg #you might also need openssl@3 but unsure
git clone https://github.com/crossbowerbt/dillo-plus/; cd dillo-plus
# update the 1.3.8_1 fltk version

C-Macs – a pure C macOS application
brew install --cask xquartz
Or install from the project homepage [1]. Then just launch the X11 app. Note that it does require the application to be built for Mac - it’s not an emulator, just an implementation of the X11 APIs.

Understanding Keyboard Events Better
I’ve recently spent some time working with terminal emulators in raw mode on macOS. While I chose to handle key events using escape codes, and found it seriously difficult (even gave up) to process the shift modifier key. However, I came across xquartz [1], which seems to do similar things as mentioned in the article. Would detecting shift key state have been trivial using such a library?

Audacity 3.4 – New Musical Features
The contents are rendered through gtk/cairo which not only goes through https://www.xquartz.org/ but also doesn't use GPU rendering (it was experimental 3 years ago, maybe better now). The main issue seems to be that neither Inkscape nor gtk people have much low level Darwin experts or time available to invest in debugging the whole rendering stack. See for example https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1614 and all the other referenced issues for all the gory details.

ksh88 string substitution in alias | mpv streaming
I live in a mezzanine studio using a M1 macbook for a workstation (writing/editing) and my old laptop with openbsd as a local server. I play music from that obsd server upstairs, which thus fills the whole room down to my desktop through the plugged-in speakers. My hosted library plays fine with mpd and ncmpcpp, and I just figured out it's not so difficult to use mpv to play streamed youtube videos, since firefox in XQuartz streaming from xenocara is way too slow anyhow.

Back to Emacs - I have some questions
There is an alternative: I ended up using Xquartz to give me an X11 environment and then running StumpWM as my tiling window manager. I used this for all my productive stuff, running full screen in MacOS, then a quick keypress got me back to the Mac environment.
- Red Hat considers Xorg “deprecated” and will remove it in the next RHEL

Which mac should I get for study?
I also used Xquartz. Emacs was better for me though because capturing text output and documenting what I captured was so much easier than X-window.
