(#jnfajzq) I donât know why or how, but using gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() has the desired effect (now?). Reading GTKâs source code is too convoluted to find out whatâs going on here. I canât find a corresponding Wayland protocol.
Sway gets very slow when resizing such a window, so Iâm a bit inclined to think that GTK does some weird trickery to get this to work. đ€
Either way, xiate now sets geometry hints again and floating windows have the correct size now. Finally.
(#uxaaq5q) Well, looks like Iâll be using IBM software after all âŠ đ€Ł https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/hashicorp-joins-ibm (We use Terraform.)
(#aiqtdda) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh my god, that sounds just as awful. Yes, that really makes you want to quit. Such a waste of time and energy. Itâs really dangerous for oneâs mental health as well, burnout is lurking just around the corner.
No, itâs not IBM. đ I wonât say what it is. đ„Ž I donât think I had contact with any (contemporary) IBM software since around 2010. I love toying around with retro IBM stuff (cause thatâs what I grew up with), but really no idea what theyâre up to these days. Even the IBM building in our city is long gone.
(#d5n4myq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oops. Thatâs a bit scary.
Hmm, how many hardware devices have you lost due to lightning over the years? đ€ We lost a modem once, but that was it.
One of the Xfce devs tries to estimate how many people use his software and is a bit surprised:

(#aiqtdda) @bender@twtxt.net It is very proprietary, yes. đđ
(#z4m2yla) @bender@twtxt.net Get well soon!
(And thanks for not being one of those âitâs just a coldâ guys.)
(#aiqtdda) One of the super frustrating things about this: I have to write lots of documents, but I am required to use horrendous software to do that. It cannot even number sections automatically, nor can you insert cross-references to other sections. Simple stuff like that. It all has to be done manually.
Even Word 97 could do shit like that âŠ
(#aiqtdda) @bender@twtxt.net Oh dear. đ
I have months of intense security compliance theater ahead of me and wish for a quick and painless death.
(#qf7pavq) @bender@twtxt.net lol đ
So you donât feel a bit weird when you say âWindowsâ or âPowerPointâ? Itâs just a brand, nothing special?
Ich fragâ mich schon oft, wie das fĂŒr die englischen Muttersprachler sein muss, all diese sogenannten Markennamen zu benutzen. âIch benutze Fenster 11! Das hier ist eine KraftPunkt-PrĂ€sentation. Den Kode fĂŒr dieses Skript habe ich vom Deppendrehkreuz.â All sowas. đ€
(#nwv3ipq) @mckinley@twtxt.net My process hasnât changed. (But the Gopher hole is gone. Hereâs the file from 2023: https://movq.de/v/72fddfd8fe/2023-05-31âbackups.txt )
What is your backup target btw? This NFS drive youâre speaking of is probably hosted on one of your local servers running in your apartment/house?
(#6axgyza) @bender@twtxt.net đ€Ł Bug free code, I wish. đ
On a more serious note, howâs the adoption of Archive Feeds going? If you all were to clear your caches, would your clients fetch archived feeds? đ€
(Iâm kind of thinking about truncating my history, to be honest. Thereâs a lot of twts out there, many of them out-of-context by now. Theyâre of little use except maybe for showing that twtxt/Yarn is an âactive platformâ.)
(#lnornhq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Itâs great to see so much âgreenâ. đ
The sequence of photos makes it look like you throw this (pretty creepy) snowman to the ground. đ
(#oc7xdyq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Goes to show how arcane that system has become. đ„Ž I saw in another video today that Microsoft Office used names like PMWord and PMExcel.
There was a time when Vobis (you remember them?) sold PCs with OS/2 pre-installed. Those were the days, man! đ
Itâs already very quick.
Thatâs because itâs not running on a hard disk but a Compact Flash card. đ My Warp 4 box is on an HDD and scanning directory trees takes quite some time there. đ«€ Spinning rust is crazy slow.
Me feed just rolled over. Letâs see if something breaks. đ
