How pathetic are the #DUP #TUV and their tame troll 🚮? It seems to have escaped their attention that they live in IRELAND, and this is our national language; it’s legal, it’s used in Courts, in Stormont; has been used by our MPs in House of Commons, and by various members of the royal family on State visits to Ireland - north and south.
No one is holding their heads in a fixed position or forcing them to read anything in Irish. All the signage will also be available in English, for those who cannot tell the difference between Beal Feriste and Belfast.
🚮 aka Jamie Bryson is trying to lodge legal objection against Irish Language signage with the courts.
We have so many problems, not least the reduction in PIPs and other benefits, the negative effects of the new ETA, the problems being caused by the American administration worldwide; and this kind of bigotry is what gets them up in the morning. Sigh

BelfastTelegraph.co.uk · DUP intends to put ‘marker down’ at Executive on Irish language signs at stationBy By David Young, PA

Dear Linux Developers,

For the love of whatever god, gods, or nothingness you believe in, stop making all your UI's grey text on grey backgrounds separated by grey lines. Please give me some contrast: blacks, whites, actual colours.

Thank you.

signed,

It took me an unbelievable amount of effort to get a gradient on screen. So, the way to do it (after much research and growling) is to make a gradient resource, then use that item as the texture in a StyleBoxTexture resource, basically the same concept as a CSS border-image. But I didn't need the slices. AND THEN apply that to a button.

I am annoyed by fake progress bars.

I do not ever want to see a progress bar rapidly advance to 90% and then slow to a crawl unless the operation really has progressed and then slowed to a crawl.

If you do not know how much of the operation has been completed and how much remains, then show something other than a f**king progress bar. 🤬

And yes, #Mastodon image viewer, I'm talking about you. 🫵

That is all. Carry on.

#UI / #UX question.

You have a toggle for exclusive states "foo" and "bar" and the state name in the button. Clicking the button changes the state, and the name displayed inside the button.

Is the name in the button the current state, or the state you want to change to? What is your expectation?

I wish there was a modifier to Tab that you could hold to jump directly to the next text input, instead of the regular jump to the next interactable element.

The number of times I have to hit Tab multiple times to get across linkes or other stuff to get to what I actually want to do is too damned high.

[Archive — 2023] LHDG07. GNU/Linux, c'est trop compliqué ?

Quand je vois le brol délirant des interfaces de logiciels propriétaires avec lequel les gens s'accommodent, ça me fait marrer d'entendre que le libre, c'est « compliqué »…

#UI matters, and key exchange is hard.

Where the hell do you get started making "modern" UIs with HTML/CSS/JavaScript?

I'm used to writing everything by hand. Now I've got to somehow choose between 4,000 "modern, performant, etc." frameworks. Do I use JavaScript or can I use something better like TypeScript? Which of the 30 different "modern, perfromant, etc." build systems do I use?

How many million NPM packages are each of these going to require?

okay, cleaned up the surrounding code, added some #ui gimmicks, and next thing to do will be saving files - for real for real.

big milestone given #tek still can't! i'll post a proper screencast, too, to showcase the improved #tui and the general workflow.

building a tool for preparing releases (not to mention that whole #diy #daw thing) instead of making music ... what is wrong with me ... smh. #xkcd 1205 comes to mind...
