@lyse LOL 😂

@bender LOL 😂

@prologic honestly, I though it was a nail at first. Like this, but bent. LOL.

@bender The “t” 🤣

@quark It’s very nice mate 😅 I didn’t know you were this good at CSS 🤣

@bender That’s actually kind of what I was going for, just with a stylized “t” and some blue/purple/red shades 🤣

@prologic is it Hugo driven, yes. The Frankenstein’s monster CSS is mostly all mine, as evidenced by its shoddiness. 😅

Another day, another attempt at rearranging the furniture, because I am never happy with that. 😟

It is very nice look’n 🤟

What I wanna know at this point @bender is this; What is this “Notes” thing. Is it just a uugo static site you maintain or something else? 🤔 Did you write all the CSS yourself? 😅

@lyse @bender that’s also what Yarn.social’s logo is, and just happens to be the yarnd default. Hmmm figured times for a change? 🤔

@lyse That is brilliant! 🤣

The gold saga on @quark’s thoughts continues with https://netbros.com/1750974122. That’s without any doubt the most beautiful 404 page I’ve ever come across in my entire life. What an overall master piece of art. Well done, mate! <3

FTR, I see one (two) issues with PyQt6, sadly:

1. The PyQt6 docs appear to be mostly auto-generated from the C++ docs. And they contain many errors or broken examples (due to the auto-conversion). I found this relatively unpleasent to work with.
   
2. (Until Python finally gets rid of the Global Interpreter Lock properly, it’s not really suited for GUI programs anyway – in my opinion. You can’t offload anything to a second thread, because the whole program is still single-threaded. This would have made my fractal rendering program impossible, for example.)

@prologic Hm, same startup delay. (Go is not an option for me anyway.)

It’s hard to tell why all this is so slow. Maybe in this particular case it has something to do with fonts: strace shows the program loading the fontconfig configs several times, and that takes up a bulk of the startup time. 🤔 (Qt6 or Java don’t do that, but they’re still slow to start up – for other reasons, apparently.)

To be fair, it’s “just” the initial program startup (with warm I/O caches). Once it’s running, it’s fine. All toolkits I’ve tried are. But I don’t want to accept such delays, not in the year 2025. 😅 Imagine every terminal window needing half a second to appear on the screen … nah, man.

You no Mikey like? 🧐

@bender I don’t think so ? 🧐😂🤦‍♂️

Is it April fools already?! 😅😂

Sorry better verison

New beginnings, new horizons. New pod logo 🤟

LOL 😂 I think mastodon.social is broken 😞

@teleclimber Definitely jealous that your model means you can “just add ARM” in a monthly update!

Test

@therealprologic It works! 🤣 Now I’m quite sure we haven’t got threads working yet 🤔

Hello World! Testing 1 2 3

@meidastouch I think it’s pretty funny he keeps having to explain his own jokes.

@movq unison seems pretty fast for me, and quite nice looking on my macOS desktop. It’s bsed on GLFW, but it seems to work quite well 🤔

Be it Java with Swing or PyQt6, it takes ~300 ms until a basic window with a treeview and a listbox appears. That is a very noticeable delay.

Is it unrealistic to expect faster startup times these days? 🤔

Once the program is running, a new second window (in the same process) appears very quickly. So it’s all just the initialization stuff that takes so long. I could, of course, do what “fat” programs have done for ages: Pre-launch the process during boot, windowless. But I was hoping that this wasn’t needed. 😞 (And it’s a bad model anyway. When the main process crashes, all windows crash with it.)

@bender Haha 😆

GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word

This is total bullshit 🤣

@prologic no, I really meant small. I only have a handful of GiBs left of storage. If you can wait until mid-December, then no probleml. Right now it is kind of running on fumes. For testing, and to do not disturb anyone timelines, I recommend you run a small test instance. Running GtS is easier than running Yarn, by the way. Word.

@bender It’s good enough ti iron out any bugs 🐛 Can I haz an account? 🙏

This is crazy 🤪

LOL it works 🤣

Hey @mastodon 👋

@bender Not even a GotoSocial server? 🤔

@bender You don’t run one anymore do you? 🤔

@bender Bit big of a server no? 🤔

Someone, on the Bridge, this is meant to have sent @manton a “Follow Request” via Activity Pub hmmm 🧐

Test (_did I fix this shit™-)?

Hey @manton 👋 Why yes I believe I did!

Anyone run a Mastodon serve rI can have an account on to help test the Twtxt <-> Activity Pub bridge? 🙏

@bender I need another side that I can unblame 🤣

I think because it still inserted the wrong alias in my following list:

# follow = manton@bridge.twtxt.net https://bridge.twtxt.net/twtxt/remote/d428c49928a4a0d1.txt

I’m not currently sure why this is tab-completing incorrectly hmmm 🧐

Testing 1 2 3 @manton

Wow :O That didn’t work!

Test @-mentioning an AP actor via the Bridge. Hey @manton 👋
