I’m shocked, shocked!

Well not that shocked

(#zjy6yaa) @prologic@twtxt.net Sure is. I wonder how many websites I’ll have to just completely opt out of because of it.

(#oochzwa) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz yeah it’s pretty terrible these days. Most recent trouble I had was something as simple as installing and setting up the Tailscale client. On literally all my other devices (Linux and Android) that was a cinch, but on Windows…. ohh boy, I had to mess around with reg edits and all sorts of crap and eventually bludgeoned it into working, but it was a bloody pain.

(#xfblnda) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz WAHHHHHH🗣

(#3yuvn7a) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz we love u too 🖤

(#jqzgbha) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz hii!!!!!!!!!

(#uwjf4uq) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ok! its kinda buggy here cuz my replys aren’t coming in!

(#xfblnda) my theme song :)

for tradition purposes

first post 🖤

(#zwhvoea) Really, it won’t be long until I give the world the finger and move everything behind Gopher or Gemini. It’ll be a while until the bots find me there.

Heck yeah, that’s damn cool: Reading QR codes without a computer! https://qr.blinry.org/

(#2ncepxq) @prologic@twtxt.net I’d expect a custom build like that to cost at least 50’000€ here in Europe. Used campers with 100’000 - 200’000 km already on their clock are 20-40k€, apparently. 😆

(#roinpgq) We just met again after sleep to clean up all the rest. I now got food for literally two weeks. At least. No kidding! I feel really bad for taking waaaaay more home than bringing along. :-/ Turned out that a bunch of people were absent without an excuse. :-( That rude behavior is beyond my comprehension.

Bloody AI clowns:

How many IPs am I supposed to block, eh?

(#k7fyycq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Smart decision. :-)

(#hyv7nsq) @prologic@twtxt.net Too bad, no FLOSS software. :-/ But thanks! :-)

(#bjsafpq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de What the heck, that’s terrible! :-( This planned obsolence right after warranty really sucks balls.

(#k7fyycq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Looks like it. 🤔 Didn’t dig deeper into this, just uninstalled it. 🥴

(#bjsafpq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 4 years. 🫤

(#bjsafpq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s about time to get a new monitor. How old is it, btw.?

Do I buy a new monitor or do I live with the burn-ins all the time? It’s getting annoying. When I edit images in GIMP, I have to double check if something is a pixel or a burn-in.

(#v36orfa) @prologic@twtxt.net If anything looks expensive, then it’s that. 😅

(#v36orfa) @prologic@twtxt.net Cool! What program do you use to draw this up?

(#wausfvq) @thecanine@twtxt.net Nice! :-)

When tidying up my good mate’s birthday party site last night we emptied the beer pong cups which had been filled with just ordinary tap water. There was also a cute dog whose owner gave it its drinking bowl, but it was not interested. Just for fun I offered it one of those water cups and it began to drink. We all had to laugh so hard because it was completely unexpected and looked so funny. Can’t describe this comicalness of the situation. :-D

(#7rb6psa) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Uuhh, I love this! Who’s that, what’s that song?

(#fn74lta) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz From what I grasped so far, you’re certainly heading for this for sure. :-)

(#k7fyycq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Yikes! Debug settings enabled right from “the factory”?

Just a random drawing

(#lnzctjq) (Now why is that GNOME gcr thing running with debug logs enabled that print stuff like “sending secret exchange: …”? Is this healthy?)

(#ynjuq4q) @bender@twtxt.net Hahaha, nice! :-D

(#pkmhlwa) @prologic@twtxt.net what a great world we live in! No wonder they marked this sector unoccupied.

(#76bj5xa) @movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s how it’s supposed to be. :-)

You know you’re getting old when there’s quite a few scripts in your ~/bin that you use daily, but you haven’t edited them once in well over 10 years …

(#boiotxq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org “Advanced”, well, probably more “mature”. There aren’t a ton of crazy features and that icon thing is the largest code addition in the last 10 years. %)

Speaking of OS/2 … I just realized that Windows 3.x didn’t have icons, either. If I’m not mistaken, this only got added in Windows 95. In other words, OS/2 had this feature before Windows did, because at least OS/2 2.1 from 1993 had icons. Who would have thunk.

(Now I kind of want to know which system really introduced this feature.)

(#boiotxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, okay! That’s why it’s in such an advanced state. :-)

Nice, I never came in contact with OS/2.

(#yuw4rra) @xuu@txt.sour.is I see you’re already a big fan of that language!

(#wz2auca) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz dmenu is such a great tool. So simple, yet so versatile.

(#boiotxq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh, huh, maybe it was just my GNOME 2 themes back then that didn’t show the icon. 🤔

I like the looks of your window manager. That’s using Wayland, right?

Oh, no. It’s still X11. All my recent Wayland comments resulted from me trying to switch, but I think it’s still too early. Being unable to use QEMU (because it can’t capture the mouse pointer) is a pretty big blocker for me. This is completely broken, it just happens to be unnoticeable with modern guest OSes, so it’s probably not a priority for devs.

(Not to mention that I would have to fork and substantially extend dwl in order to “replicate” my X11 WM. And then, after having done that, I’d have to follow upstream Wayland development, for which I don’t have the resources. Things would need to slow down before I can do that.)

all that wasted space of the windows not making use of the full screen!!!1

Heh. I’ve been using tiling WMs for ~15 years now, so it’s actually kind of refreshing to see something different for a change. 😅

Probably close to the older Windowses.

That particular theme is a ripoff of OS/2 Warp 3: https://movq.de/v/6c2a948882/s.png 😅

We ran some similar brownish color scheme (don’t recall its name) on Win95 or Win98

Oh god. Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of those, either. 🥴

(#xzgjska) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I know, right!?

Obligatory meme: https://www.digitalprintcustom.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Jesus-Fucking-Christ.jpg :-D

(#xdkmw4a) Hm, maybe pumpkin: https://64.media.tumblr.com/e1aedc97e3c4929de60304a2c7b274f2/tumblr_mzt4m2SeWk1t2as4so9_r1_1280.pnj Looks a hell lot uglier than I remembered. :-D So, perhaps it was a different one. :-?

Your brown and gray is a lovely combination.

(#boiotxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de According to this screenshot, KDE still shows good old application icons: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/KDE_Plasma_5.21_Breeze_Twilight_screenshot.png

And GNOME used to have them, too: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Gnome-2-22_%284%29.png

I like the looks of your window manager. That’s using Wayland, right? The only thing on this screenshot to critique is all that wasted space of the windows not making use of the full screen!!!1 At least the file browser. 8-)

This drives me nuts when my workmates share their screens. I really don’t get it how people can work like that. You can’t even read the whole line in the IDE or log viewer with all the expanded side bars. And then there’s 200 pixels on the left and another 300 pixels on the right where the desktop wallpaper shows. Gnaa! There’s the other extreme end when somebody shares their ultra wide screen and I just have a “regularish” 16:10 monitor and don’t see shit, because it’s resized way too tiny to fit my width. Good times. :-D

Sorry for going off on a tangent here. :-) Back to your WM: It has the right mix of being subtle and still similar to motif. Probably close to the older Windowses. My memory doesn’t serve me well, but I think they actually got it fairly good in my opinion. Your purple active window title looks killer. It just fits so well. This brown one (https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2025-07-22/0/leafpads.png) gives me also classic vibes. Awww. We ran some similar brownish color scheme (don’t recall its name) on Win95 or Win98 for some time on the family computer. I remember other people visting us not liking these colors. :-D

(#boiotxq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org True, at least old versions of KDE had icons:

https://movq.de/v/0e4af6fea1/s.png

GNOME, on the other hand, didn’t, at least to my old screenshots from 2007:

https://www.uninformativ.de/desktop/2007%2D05%2D25%2D%2Dgnome2%2Dlaptop.png

I switched to Linux in 2007 and no window manager I used since then had icons, apparently. Crazy. An icon-less existence for 18 years. (But yeah, everything is keyboard-driven here as well and there are no buttons here, either.)

Anyway, my draft is making progress:

https://movq.de/v/5b7767f245/s.png

I do like this look. 😊

(#euobsca) Look at that, a mate just told me: What if YAML had even more security issues!? YAMLScript! https://yamlscript.org/doc/cheat/

(#xnfrmlq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice looking birds! :-)

Oh, interesting. Lessons learned: Never simply redefine things.

(#kod6spa) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Cool! I just got an idea for work tomorrow: Use dmenu to quickly start different SSH tunnels I routinely need.

(#lnzctjq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de Wow, up until now, it never occurred to me that dependencies can be optional. :-O I gotta put that on my research list.

(#boiotxq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de I haven’t used KDE or GNOME for ages, but I’m sure KDE at least used to show application icons in the title bars. They proabably still do. But then, one could argue that KDE is mimicking Windows. I never thought like that, I always found KDE way superior, because I was able to configure it like a madman.

In i3, I don’t have any application icons. I remember missing them at the beginning. But I don’t even have the classical minimize, maximize and close buttons in the title bar either. Just the title. Being mostly keyboard driven and a tiling window manager, these buttons are not super useful, anyway.

(#euobsca) @movq@www.uninformativ.de @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I’m just used to it because I deal with such things all the time. :-)
