I don't really do things with tiling VMs, I usually just put stuff on separate monitors or workspaces, but Niri might be the best-executed example of the concept I've seen yet

I love the infinite horizontal scrolling in Niri. What a great concept and execution, esp. on devices with smaller screens

That being said, this seems honest and tracks with Framework's history before the whole DHH stuff IMHO.

Some updates on the #Framework situation. I'm glad that they are being explicit about these kinds of things.

A screenshot of this Tweet:

To avoid disappointing anyone later who wants to ascribe beliefs to me, I am pro-immigrant and pro-LGBTQ. I’m also pro open source and have committed myself to guiding people out of closed ecosystems into open ones. This is not posted under duress, but under a realization that at a certain scale of visibility, it becomes insufficient to hold beliefs without stating them, because others will attempt to state them for you.

We're getting closer and closer to more readable code here with this IMHO, GJS on the right for comparison!

New progress on the #puregotk #GObject introspection things I'm working on in #Go . It's super early, but I added preliminary support for generated getters/setters for properties. No more manual value setup & `SetProperty` calls required, just a simple `SetPropertyX` call.

This code:

applicationClass.OverrideActivate(func(a *gio.Application) {
exampleApp := (*exampleApplication)(unsafe.Pointer(a.GetData(dataKeyGoInstance)))

var app gtk.Application
a.Cast(&app)

obj := gobject.NewObject(senbaragtk.MainApplicationWindowGLibType(),
"application", app,
)

var window senbaragtk.MainApplicationWindow
obj.Cast(&window)

exampleApp.window = &window

var cb func(senbaragtk.MainApplicationWindow) = func(w senbaragtk.MainApplicationWindow) {
fmt.Println("Test button clicked")

exampleApp.window.ShowToast("Button was clicked!")
exampleApp.window.SetPropertyTestButtonSensitive(false)

time.AfterFunc(time.Second*3, func() {
exampleApp.window.ShowToast("Button re-enabled after 3 seconds")
exampleApp.window.SetPropertyTestButtonSensitive(true)
})
}
exampleApp.window.ConnectButtonTestClicked(&cb)

exampleApp.window.Present()
})

$This code: vfunc_activate() { this.#window = new SenbaraGtk.MainApplicationWindow({ application: this, }); this.#window.connect("button-test-clicked", () => { console.log("Test button clicked"); this.#window.show_toast("Button was clicked!"); this.#window.test_button_sensitive = false; setTimeout(() => { this.#window.show_toast("Button re-enabled after 3 seconds"); this.#window.test_button_sensitive = true; }, 3000); }); this.#window.present(); }$

The post in question

Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅 @felicitas.pojtinger.com · 1d

I wonder how much of the Framework nonsense is literally just because the CEO still hangs out on Twitter. I check in on my old account there every once in a while and my entire feed is just full of DHH stuff getting retweeted by various right-adjacent bluechecks.

Strange. I tried quote-posting it it, no luck there either ...

At least that one used a desktop developed by component people haha

Did this post get shadowbanned or why does it now show up in my feed anymore (only under "replies")

Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅 @felicitas.pojtinger.com · 1d

Yup, I also wanted to get a Framework as my next one. Previous advocacy on their end (Bazzite, RHEL derivatives) were all handled pretty professionally IMHO.

This seems to be ... not that, at all, and rather them chasing a very specific subset of right-wing Twitter users while losing everyone else.

I have a server that runs on RISC-V, but yes - we need RV23 chips and lots of them before it takes off in the server and desktop space.

That being said, it already took over microcontrollers, so I am def. hopeful.

Hyprland has a bit of a weird dev, I'm to particularly worried about that though. Giving money to DHH on the other hand ... that's a whole other thing. The guy is a machine for stirring drama and has been for as long as I can remember.

Yup! Have been for 15 years. Started with Ubuntu, switched to Fedora, now on GNOME OS.

I don't think I can really daily drive an MNT, my tooling is to x86-centric for that, but damn does this make me want to.

Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅 @felicitas.pojtinger.com · 1d

There is probably also VC money involved here. Cloudflare pulled the same stunt last week, and I'd be willing to bet that there is some kind of "let's give money to _our guys_ so that we no longer depend on <insert-current-slur-here>" or whatever. It's pathetic.

If you're in that space, I imagine that you probably think that your customers and the OSS community broadly is using this, when really it's this tiny slice of right-wing Twitter users.

Somewhat polemic, but it got worse since then: community.frame.work/t/framework-...

They are essentially sending money directly to DHH and the surrounding "alternative" Linux stack (arch with dotfiles & Hyprland, apparently), plus actively boosting the guy. Why? Nobody knows.

Framework supporting far-right racists?

Hi, I am not exactly sure how best to frame this, but recent events have got me wondering where exactly Framework, as a company, stands with regards to human rights and equality. If I understand cor...

I wonder if the RK3588 might be fast enough for my daily usage as a dev ... I got really used to those speedy Ryzens though

Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅 @felicitas.pojtinger.com · 2d

I guess we'll see what happens, I suspect that they will also sponsor other projects (LVFS, GNOME, KDE etc.) in the future.

The amount of people that refer to deprecated tech as "mature" is wild to me.
