I was always under the wrong impression that Tkinter is bundled with Python.
It should be. Maybe your distro splits it off. đ€
(#6wtfcsq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nope. I think they stayed only one year. đą
(#6wtfcsq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! Are there still chicken on this field?
(#lrlkp2q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I never programmed with Tkinter myself and itâs been ages that I ran a program which used it. I always thought that it looks awful. But maybe there are nicer themes these days. I just wanted to give the demo python3 -m tkinter
a try, but this module doesnât exist. I was always under the wrong impression that Tkinter is bundled with Python.
(#6wtfcsq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de damn! those are some fine looking chickens đ
From the chicken archive, 2017.
Not mine, these were more or less free roaming chickens. Farmers didnât use some of their fields for a while and allowed some other farmer to let the birds live there in the meantime.

(#jgotecq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Xfce is nice, but itâs also mostly GTK. I donât really know the answer yet. For now, Iâll just avoid anything that uses GTK4.
For my own programs, I might have a closer look at Tkinter. I was complaining recently that I couldnât find a good file manager, so it might be an interesting excercise to write one in Python+Tkinter. đ€ (Or maybe thatâs too much work, I donât know yet.)
(#jgotecq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I was never a fan of GTK, because coming from KDE, it didnât offer remotely as much of customizability. What are you switching to, Xfce?

I suspect that the timing was just right. Or wrong, depending on how youâre looking at it. ;-)

Itâs time to say goodbye to the GTK world.
GTK2 was nice to work with, relatively lightweight, and there were many cool themes back then. GTK3 was already a bit clunky, but tolerable. GTK4 now pulls in all kinds of stuff that Iâm not interested in, it has become quite heavy.
Farewell. đ

All good things come to an end, I guess.
I have an Epson printer (AcuLaser C1100) and an Epson scanner (Perfection V10), both of which I bought about 20 years ago. The hardware still works perfectly fine.
Until recently, Epson still provided Linux drivers for them. That is pretty cool! I noticed today that they have relaunched their driver website â and now I canât find any Linux drivers for that hardware anymore. Just doesnât list it (it does list some drivers for Windows 7, for example).
I mean, okay, weâre talking about 20 years here. That is a very long time, much more than I expected. But if it still works, why not keep using it?
Some years ago, I started archiving these drivers locally, because I anticipated that they might vanish at some point. So I can still use my hardware for now (even if I had to reinstall my PC for some reason). It might get hacky at some point in the future, though.
This once more underlines the importance of FOSS drivers for your hardware. I sadly didnât pay attention to that 20 years ago.

Sorry, this pun only works in German, where âBadâ means spa and is used as prefix for spa towns.

Waste paper, like an opened envelope, suits a shopping list perfectly fine.
Indeed, Iâm drowning in this stuff and I throw it away anyway, so I might just use it.

The main feed got quite large again, so itâs time for another rotation into archive feeds. I just noticed that I forgot to upload the archive feeds last time. Whoops. :-)

(#aorrjza) Okay, they are also offering 2.8x25mm copper nails. Which I actually do have a single one here. :-)
My hardware collection also includes a few brass-like looking screws that I could repurpose into rivets. But I reckon I have to upgrade my burner first. Iâm not a metal worker by any means, so I could be totally wrong, but I imagine that some heat is necessary to loosen the work-hardening effect when beating on them. I will do some experiments on Saturday and report back.
(#g3pajgq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Not sure, if this observation is correct. I know so many techies who also use every latest shit and automate their homes which is scary as hell to me.
(#3torkva) @alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it I just checked my local hardware store next town and 4mm brass rod is the closest I find.
20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could
now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest
(#dgceyaa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de No doubt, some things are just so much better the low-tech way. Waste paper, like an opened envelope, suits a shopping list perfectly fine. Youâve got a nice handwriting, I like it.
