@kiwu@twtxt.net jump on IRC and tell us! Server irc.mills.io, on 6697 (TLS), join #lobby, then private message (I am quark). :-P

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org the siting lady reads this?

Or it is something else? Awesome pics, Lyse! Some oldies I missed (the lady), and some pretty cool new ones. I can’t get enough of nature pics!

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me likewise. I was very active on it in 1992, all until 1998. Then dropped off until 2020, but remained dormant. I have now awaken once more! 😂

I just read @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz’s blog post over here:

https://bubblegum.girlonthemoon.xyz/articles/learning-to-code-like-it-s-the-90s

Jesus, it must be so overwhelming for young people to get started with programming.

When I started programming, there was the built-in ROM BASIC of that PC and probably a bit of BASIC on a floppy, and that was it. Nowadays? Millions of libraries and frameworks and languages and what not – and, much worse, there’s the expectation that you need to make something fancy. When I started, printing something and understanding IF was good enough.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org This apparently depends on the program now … Some Qt6 programs still allow that, others don’t. I can’t remember if GTK ever had that feature. 🤔 But yeah, this whole “move stuff around as you please”-mentality is mostly gone.

I know I keep referring to StarOffice 3.1 a lot, but it’s just such a good example for all these things. All the toolbars and panels could be rearranged:

(This is running in Wine, btw.)

LibreOffice is the descendant of StarOffice and it doesn’t support anything like that anymore.

Maybe it was deemed too confusing for users? “Oh no, I mis-clicked something and now that bar is gone! How do I get it back? I don’t even know what it’s called!” 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de https://movq.de/blog/postings/2026-07-03/0/POSTING-en.html Oh yeah, the toolbar handles. You could actually move the toolbars around and sometimes even customize them. I have no evidence, but to me it feels like a lot of programs don’t allow that anymore nowadays.

@arne@uplegger.eu @movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh! Von wann ist denn das? Und ja, Innenaufnahmen wären richtig fein. :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu Wie sah’s denn drinnen aus? 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It was an easy and quick fix, though. :-)

@arne@uplegger.eu Ah, ein Jahresband. Man darf dann auf Beiträge dazu im Blog demnächst gespannt sein. :-)

Hmm… https://twtxt.net/twt/rb4c47bj2b2k.

@prologic@twtxt.net this was supposed to be a reply to this, not sure how it ended up all there, by itself, sad and lonely. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net they are not the operator, but a user. I think @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz is the operator.

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I think you need to update your yarnd instance 🙏

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It varies… We tend to prefer bowtie collars for all of our little boys, but they like to wrestle sometimes, and since they’re indoor-only, they can go for months without collars at all.

@arne@uplegger.eu LOL really? 😅

@bender@twtxt.net twtxthashgeddon, word of the year! 😂

@arne@uplegger.eu Ist die Zahl 2000 ein Verweis auf das Erscheinungsjahr oder einfach nur eine fortlaufende Nummerierung der Zeitungsausgabe und bei Erreichen der zweitausendsten Ausgabe dann als Bonus beigelegen? Frohes Schmökern!

@prologic@twtxt.net woot!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah nice, I didn’t know about pytest’s parameterization feature.

@arne@uplegger.eu Yay! So I’m the only one who fucked it up. 🤪🙈

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net It werks!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! The sunset just beats everything.

@arne@uplegger.eu Success!

@arne@uplegger.eu Foo, bar, and baz! Does it work? Is the houseplant happy?

@arne@uplegger.eu if you see this reply threaded nicely then yes you did! 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh wow, those are some amazing photos! 🤯

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Test!

@rdlmda@rdlmda.me twtxt is like an email in a bottle. Just toss one every once in a while. Off topic, weechat is awesome, isn’t it?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah. The thunderstorm was supposed to hit us, sneak north and south around us, directly pay us a vistit again, miss us to the north, directly hit us, and now it’s back to a northern diversion. The thunder heavily roars in the distance at the moment. It’s down to just 10 liters. A mate just got a wet laundry, though, and had to mob up a – luckily – just tiny flood.

As I type, the first drops begin to fall.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ah, yes, you live in “the zone”: https://social.bund.de/@DeutscherWetterdienst/116839789079697685

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com … does your cat wear a bow tie?

@bender@twtxt.net There already is one haha 🤣 I already wrote ed and vi in Go 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net gonix-vim, of course. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i’m tired too

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear! :-(

Now, it’s cooler outside than inside. Time to open the windows and start the wind machines.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Don’t worry, my apartment is still at around 28-30 °C, too, and there’s the construction site outside which is noisy is fuck. Everything sucks at the moment. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Lucky you! My damn work laptop heated up this room to 29°C. The hottest so far.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de LOL

@movq@www.uninformativ.de no AC—because it has never been needed—is terrible, fully agree. That takes it to another level! 🥵

@prologic@twtxt.net Depends on what you want, I guess.

Stability: vim-classic > vim > neovim

Features: neovim > vim > vim-classic

😅

@kiwu@twtxt.net Last time you asked we were all tired. Now we’re EXHAUSTED because it’s 40 °C around here. 🥵😂😭

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It was nice at around 5 o’clock on the balcony with just 22°C and the tiniest breeze. But I got eaten alive. Fucking mozzies.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It was around 29 °C for a while inside and pretty nice on the balcony, but that’s over now. 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de 26°C inside, 30°C outside right now.

@bender@twtxt.net I know heat (I’ve been to Southeast Asia, for example – or Florida 🤣), but you’re right, it does hit very differently when it’s at home. “At home” is usually the cool and relaxed place, but now it’s hell. And no AC anywhere in sight.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Oh, I’m absolutely bad with videogames. Never heard of that one.

@bender@twtxt.net Please, mate, keep the heat to yourself! I don’t wanna trade that. ;-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org so pretty! Ah, the anticipation of an incoming heat wave! Now you guys have a small glimpse of what we live with here almost every single day. 😅
