@modulux Looking at your patience while exploring a way to make accessible multiplatform apps, perhaps @TauriApps might be worth looking at. I haven't yet tried it but according to the description it is looking like a much lighter platform comparable to #electron. It is reported to use platform native webviews where possible.
I could give it a look but I really really really dislike web for things that would be better native. Something like a listview has so much better affordances in a native application than on the web. Still, I suppose I could try it. thanks for the suggestion.
Let's have another unofficial sticker exchange like last year! I quickly consumed thousands of Wikimedia stickers with a simple table in UA1 and F1. :)

On this day four years ago, I handed over svn.haxx.se to the #Subversion project and my two decades of hosting a mailing list archive for the project was over:
It isn't actually going away. It's just been thrown over the fence to the Apache project and Subversion itself to host and maintain going forward. Mail archive When the Subversion project started in the early year 2000, I was there.

Polsko pobouřil případ z okresního městečka Maków Mazowiecki, kde dva lidé zavedli koně do automobilové myčky. Vyděšené zvíře se odtud pokoušelo utéci, ale přesto muselo podstoupit očistu vroucí vodou, stříkající pod vysokým tlakem.
@OttovonWenkoff Jsou titulky článků, které míří na emoce, aby vzbudily touhu si tu pitomost přečíst a zvýšily návštěvnost a prodej mediální žumpy. Obvykle dříve podobné story o okresním magorovi patřily do bulváru. Což vlastně denik.cz nakonec je.
Cetl jsem ten titulek jeste se zalepenym okem na mobilu a prvni co me napadlo bylo "jak proboha narval kone do mycky". Po nejake chvili mi doslo, ze to asi bude automycka. No jo, nedostatek kofeinu je hrozne svinstvo
I've just remixed the promo trifold flyer from @libreoffice promo material from 2016. Included the new icons updated and translated it into portuguese. Where to send the .pdf and the .odg so it can be featured on the page? And so that we can spread the word among portuguese speaking friends.
A main technical and economic difference to #matrix servers/clients: The family of #deltachat apps uses #chatmail servers as ephemeral message transports that know nothing and forget everything: Servers don't store group metadata or cryptographic identities and delete messages after download by default. In effect, a 30EUR/month #chatmail server with 10K's of active users hums along with 2% IO and CPU pressure, 1GB RAM and negligible disk usage. No Pro-version or Kubernetes needed to scale ;)
Just finished the latest book by Richard Powers called "The Playground". Wow, if you are into #ai #philosophy and good fiction, you may want to read this as well... Those of you who read his earlier "The Overstory" may guess what you would be signing up for. His writing and snorytelling is absolutely amazing! #literatureaudible.com/pd/B0D3WKKT9B?sour…
Check out this great listen on Audible.com. A magisterial new novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times best-selling author of The Overstory and Bewilderment.
This is probably already known by most fans of Star Trek and Doctor Who but I just learned that David McIntee passed away last month. I remember him at one of the Gallifrey conventions and he was quite enjoyable. I so far haven't read any of his books but I definitely plan to do so.
Some sad news to pass on; my colleague and fellow tie-in writer David A. McIntee passed away this weekend. It's my understanding he went into hospital for end-of-life care last week, but I don't...
Billionaire's wealth has grown faster last year, and now the world can expect at least five trillionaires within a decade, even as the number of people in poverty has barely budged since 1990.

That's the problem. Change the timeline, and the daleks are back. So it can never be 'forever.' I chuckled internally when I saw the name of this article.

@liseo It kind of did in the United States, not counting the tons of audio theater made for podcasts and, of course, not counting drama from overseas from the BBC.
@liseo Oh, I agree. Modern audio theater made for the Internet is positively vibrant. It was drama made for FM and AM radio in the U.S. which is a rare breed.
@liseo I do, as well, but my primary interest is science fiction drama. I have the usual suspects like X Minus One and Dimension X, as well as lots of drama from the BBC. If you have any unusual or rare SF drama, I'd love to know about it.

I have just read a most gloriously kink-informed science fiction short story. I am in awe of the author's powers of #kink negotiation. I think it might be the first time I've come across a story in this format, too.
Thread: I've been having a crap week, feeling sick all over the place, didn't play any music all of yesterday but today I sat down at the keys and wrote this weird little thing in 7/8, no drums, no tempo even. Fed it to #Suno for some ideas, and boy did I get some ideas! Just had to share some of them here. This is the original, and it's bad playing central. Luckily, Suno makes up for it. To me this is where AI can truly shine. Not just a random prompt and hit up a random word generator, but feeding it some ideas as a basis and letting it rip. 1/
Alright, now this has the most beautiful time-signature and I still haven't quite worked out what it is but I'm totally here for it. Probably my favourite generation of the lot. I got 8 in total, but this is the last one I'll share. I want to meet the drummer that can pull this off, and yes I know there are some of those out there for certain. #Suno
Wow, that is super complicated but beautiful. As a time signature nerd, I need to slow it down to figure out what's going on there. Did you manage to get it though finally?

in reply to modulux • • •I did it. Built Qt 6.8.1. It only took forever.
Only to now find out the situation with rust bindings for Qt is... confusing.
I'm seeing abandoned crates, stuff that won't work with Qt 6, and cxx-qt.
And the getting start guide (getting started!) for cxxqt requires unsafe.
Why was I trying to do this again?
