There are no really good GUI toolkits for Linux, are there?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, give it a shot. At worst you know that you have to continue your quest. :-)
Fun fact, during a semester break I was actually a little bored, so I just started reading the Qt documentation. I didnât plan on using Qt for anything, though. I only looked at the docs because they were on my bucket list for some reason. Qt was probably recommended to me and coming from KDE myself, that was motivation enough to look at the docs just for fun.
The more I read, the more hooked I got. The documentation was extremely well written, something Iâve never seen before. The structure was very well thought out and I got the impression that I understood what the people thought when they actually designed Qt.
A few days in I decided to actually give it a real try. Having never done anything in C++ before, I quickly realized that this endeavor wonât succeed. I simply couldnât get it going. But I found the Qt bindings for Python, so that was a new boost. And quickly after, I discovered that there were even KDE bindings for Python in my package manager, so I immediately switched to them as that integrated into my KDE desktop even nicer.
I used the Python KDE bindings for one larger project, a planning software for a summer camp that we used several years. Itâs main feature was to see who is available to do an activity. In the past, that was done on a large sheet of paper, but people got assigned two activities at the same time or werenât assigned at all. So, by showing people in yellow (free), green (one activity assigned) and red (overbooked), this sped up and improved the planning process.
Another core feature was to generate personalized time tables (just like back in school) and a dedicated view for the morning meeting on site.
It was extended over the years with all sorts of stuff. E.g. I then implemented a warning if all the custodians of an activitiy with kids were underage to satisfy new the guidelines that there should be somebody of age.
Just before the pandemic I started to even add support for personalized live views on phones or tablets during the planning process (with web sockets, though). This way, people could see their own schedule or independently check at which day an activity takes place etc. For these side quests, they donât have to check the large matrix on the projector. But the project died there.
Hereâs a screenshot from one of the main views:

We had some gray soup with the occasional fine rain with strong wind gusts. Despite the bad forecast we took the train to Geislingen/Steige and strolled up to the Helfenstein castle ruin. All the colorful leaves were so beautiful, it didnât matter that the sun was behind thick layers of clouds.
We then continued to the Ădenturm (lit. boring tower). By then the wind had picked up by quite a bit, just as the weatherman predicted. We were very positively surprised that the Swabian Jura Association had opened up the tower. Between May and October, the tower is typically only manned on Sundays and holidays between 10 and 17 oâclock. But yesterday was Saturday and no holiday. The lovely lady up there told us that theyâre currently experimenting with opening up on Saturday, too, because there are some highly motivated members responsible for the tower.
We were the very first visitors on that day. Last Sunday, when the weather lived up to the weekdayâs name, they counted 128 people up in the tower. Very impressive.
The wind gusts were howling around the tower. Luckily, there are glass windows. So, it was quite pleasant up in the tower room. Chatting with the tower guard for a while, we got even luckier: the sun came out! That was really awesome. The photos donât do justice. As always, it looked way more stunning in person.
Thanks to all the volunteers who make it possible to enjoy the view from the thirty odd meters up there. That certainly made our day!
After signing the guestbook we climbed down the staircase and returned to the station and headed back. The train even arrived on time. What a great little trip!

Here is just a small list of thingsâą that Iâm aware will break, some quite badly, others in minor ways:
- Link rot & migrations: domain changes, path reshuffles, CDN/mirror use, or moving from txt â jsonfeed will orphan replies unless every reader implements perfect 301/410 history, which they wonât.
- Duplication & forks: mirrors/relays produce multiple valid locations for the same post; readers see several âparentsâ and split the thread.
- Verification & spam-resistance: content addressing lets you dedupe and verify youâre pointing at exactly the post you meant (hash matches bytes). Location anchors can be replayed or spoofed more easily unless you add signing and canonicalization.
- Offline/cached reading: without the original URL being reachable, readers canât resolve anchors; with hashes they can match against local caches/archives.
- Ecosystem churn: all existing clients, archives, and tools that assume content-derived IDs need migrations, mapping layers, and fallback logic. Expect long-lived threads to fracture across implementations.

Weâve been discussing the idea of changing the threading model from Content-based Addressing to Location-based addressing for years now. The problem is quite complex, but I feel I have to keep reminding yâall of the potential perils of changing this and the pros/cons of each model:
With content-addressed threading, a reply points at something thatâs intrinsically identified (hash of author/feed URI + timestamp + content). That ID never changes as long as the content doesnât. Switching to location-based anchors makes the reply target extrinsicâit now depends on where the post currently lives. In a pull-based, decentralised network, locations drift. The moment they do, thread identity fragments.
What #TheLEFT had to say about #vonderleyen âs #SOTU speech?
There are several news stories going around saying that there are two no-confidence votes to Von Der Leyen about to be submitted, saying little to nothing about them, and even filing them together as if they both want or mean the same.
It might be useful to know exactly what the criticisms are, so here is a link to The Leftâs comment to todayâs speech. Read it in full, but here is my summary:
âacts as the guardian of the interests of the most powerful, at the expense of democracy, justice, and the future of the planetâ;
Gaza: âThe bare minimum is ending military cooperation and fully suspending the EUâIsrael Association Agreement. This is genocide and we need to do everything to stop itâ
pushing the MERCOSUR deal (they are actually light on their criticism of this treaty, but Iâll leave my rant about ot on a another toot)
the EU-US deal: âsubjugation of European policy to the economic and military interests of the USA. You are sacrificing energy, digital policy, security, and climate protection on the altar of the hollow phrase of transatlantic partnershipâ
âEuropeansâ living standards are falling, jobs are lost, authoritarianism grows, and social systems are under pressureâ

@prologic@twtxt.net what a great world we live in! No wonder they marked this sector unoccupied.
We finally got a caliper donated for this yearâs scout flea market. We didnât sell it, but kept it ourselves. It will come in very handy every now and then in our material store. For example, I missed having a caliper in the past when sorting our random assortment of screws or measuring the depth of a hole. Itâs a wee bit banged up (probably happened during transport) and didnât come with a box, but the latter is now solved.
The lid and bottom came from a wardrobe back panel I got from a mate, the sides were rocket sticks in their former lives. I found some scrap of felt in our material store and some hinges laying around in the drawers of my own workshop.
Unfortunately, the table saw teared up the plywood veneer fibres badly, even though I put tape around to prevent that. This is the first time it didnât work. At. All. To cover that up, I painted the box with some decades old tinting paint (price tag says Deutsche Mark, not Euro!) from my paint cabinet. Itâs awesome, works absolutely perfectly and doesnât smell the slightest bit. I reckon, this caliper box is plenty good enough for occasional use at our scout material store.
