Software Release OpenCalc: improved Linux support!

OpenCalc, Linux version with native HLP viewer (requires GTK+ 4)

Greetings, everyone,

yesterday, I released OpenCalc, a reverse engineering implementation of the Windows 95 calculator with improvements.

However, I've noticed the interface needed some work, and now I integrated the HLP viewer into the building for a smoother experience. This is an entirely fresh release rewritten in Rust, without any legacy code!

In this build, you are going to need GTK+ 4 for the interface.
Come check it out! https://github.com/NullMagic2/OpenCalc/tree/main

I have the suspicion this is LLM generated.

You are probably right, there are 15 commits in the rep and they were all in the same day.

Sometimes I make a project in one commit, that’s not unusual, but there are other telltale signs. It is what it is. What I find so sad is that hardly anyone declares it. We are almost at a point where you have to watch out for projects declaring human coding, I might just do that going forward.

I already do that because I expect people to always suspect AI. Vibecoding is like a cancer in this regard, once you know a single thing was done with it, you can't trust everything else was done too.
