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!” 🤔

In-reply-to » Apologies for the late #caturday post, but I figure it's more of a state of mind, like that time Shadow temporarily "borrowed" the dog bed (and discovered how comfy a blanket pile can be)...

@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.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Die “2000” bezieht sich auf das Jahr. Darin befinden sich zwölf Ausgaben aus dem Jahr. Das “Mecklenburg Magazin” ist mir bisher gar nicht unter gekommen. Gibt’s wohl schon seit 1990.

@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!

Mecklenburg Magazin, Sammelband 2000 Letzte Woche habe ich einen Mecklenburg Magazin Sammelband aus dem Jahr 2000 in einer Bücherkiste gefunden und schon viele schöne Stunden damit verbringen dürfen.
Neben verschiedenen plattdeutschen Texten sind viel Historie und Ortsnamenskunde enthalten. Ein Fest.

In-reply-to » @lyse Ah, yes, you live in “the zone”: https://social.bund.de/@DeutscherWetterdienst/116839789079697685

@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.
