@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice! Are there still chicken on this field?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I never programmed with Tkinter myself and it’s been ages that I ran a program which used it. I always thought that it looks awful. But maybe there are nicer themes these days. I just wanted to give the demo python3 -m tkinter a try, but this module doesn’t exist. I was always under the wrong impression that Tkinter is bundled with Python.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de damn! those are some fine looking chickens 😆

From the chicken archive, 2017.

Not mine, these were more or less free roaming chickens. Farmers didn’t use some of their fields for a while and allowed some other farmer to let the birds live there in the meantime.

@prologic@twtxt.net Whoop whoop 🥳

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Xfce is nice, but it’s also mostly GTK. I don’t really know the answer yet. For now, I’ll just avoid anything that uses GTK4.

For my own programs, I might have a closer look at Tkinter. I was complaining recently that I couldn’t find a good file manager, so it might be an interesting excercise to write one in Python+Tkinter. 🤔 (Or maybe that’s too much work, I don’t know yet.)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was never a fan of GTK, because coming from KDE, it didn’t offer remotely as much of customizability. What are you switching to, Xfce?

@zvava@twtxt.net feeds are fetched at least every 5m (if they’ve changed)

@zvava@twtxt.net yarnd fetches the feeds roughly every ten minutes:

I suspect that the timing was just right. Or wrong, depending on how you’re looking at it. ;-)

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com @bender@twtxt.net this is vaguely concerning…does yarn refresh feeds every minute or two? or is there some special “notify twtxt.net to refresh my feed” that i don’t know about

@bender@twtxt.net Wow, you’re good.

It was an edit, within a minute or two of posting. I didn’t think anyone would notice.

That’s what I call on it. 😀

@prologic@twtxt.net woohoo! Take that, micro.crap! :-D

And my new migrated blog is up woohoo 🥳 https://prologic.blog/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de exactly! 🤣

@bender@twtxt.net I don’t think so, but I might give it a shot when the “official” drivers no longer work at all.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com hmmm, what was this, an edit, a deletion?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de can’t you use generic drivers? I did that for an enterprise copier/printer/scanner we used to have at work, and it worked just fine!

@zvava@twtxt.net agreed. I think display_name will be redundant, and add to the “busy” factor. That is, the opposite of simplicity.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org lol 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Bahahahaha 🤣😆

Uuuhhh, that’s rather interesting, I didn’t know about that:

Aachen has been officially certified as “Bad Aachen”, but for alphabetical reasons usually declines to use the prefix

— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spa_towns_in_Germany#A

That made me chuckle.

Sieht ganz so aus, als hätte die gute @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz ihre Büchse mit in den Kurort Bad Gateway genommen.

Sorry, this pun only works in German, where “Bad” means spa and is used as prefix for spa towns.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You should send ‘em this sample. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It completely escapes me, too. I will never understand it, but people are just wired very differently.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, the lighting needs to be right in order to make them really pop like this. I got lucky today. :-)

My photos are categorized as crafts porn for my workmates:

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Awwww! I’ve never noticed their tail feathers being so green. 🤯

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, it’s probably not black and white. (I have no idea why you would connect a bloody light bulb to your WiFi …) But I do get the impression that there are way more “neo-luddites” that 20 years ago. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

Waste paper, like an opened envelope, suits a shopping list perfectly fine.

Indeed, I’m drowning in this stuff and I throw it away anyway, so I might just use it.

You’ve got a nice handwriting, I like it.

Thanks. 😅 (It used to be horrible. Gosh, the teachers scolding me in school … Bah. 😂)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Not sure, if this observation is correct. I know so many techies who also use every latest shit and automate their homes which is scary as hell to me.

@alexonit@twtxt.alessandrocutolo.it I just checked my local hardware store next town and 4mm brass rod is the closest I find.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I think you should be able to find some even in general stores in the hardware section.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So damn true.

I have a friend that might lock himself out of his home if there’s a power outage while I keep removing apps and devices from my daily lives instead.

I recently switched from all the todo apps I used to sticky notes on my monitors and a pocket notebook for sketching and quick notes.

@thecanine@twtxt.net So cool!

It reminds me of the monsters in Heart of Darkness on PSX (just replayed the other day).

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could

now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No doubt, some things are just so much better the low-tech way. Waste paper, like an opened envelope, suits a shopping list perfectly fine. You’ve got a nice handwriting, I like it.
