(…the docs should probably not refer to a class that no longer exists…)

For workspace:

For world morph inspector (at backgroundImageData) (will not reload itself):

So far it’s worth noting: a lot of what I’m doing is not obvious

• How the syntax works (very much not a C-like)
• How/when to use which methods or fields
• The difference between class methods and instance methods
• How to create a subclass (psst, it’s right click -> more -> subclass template)
• How to change a subclass from category (you cannot drag&drop, edit it in the definition)

feels like good old OOP :blobcatderpy:

fun (all I did was change the highlight color) :blobcatdead:

OK I think I’m starting to have something a bit more palatable for my taste, but now I want to set fonts

Importing fonts and setting them for all UI elements seems easy enough ‒ go to the file list, select your TTF, click on “read font”, and tada~, it’s ready for you to use!

Here’s my Cuis image for now, I promise it has no virus whatsoever, none at all (yes, Smalltalk is a perfect gateway for viruses, why do you ask 🥴) https://0x0.st/oCYb.zip

…what kind of beef is going on in the Smalltalk community what the hell https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/519

@jalefkowit I often see reviews which claim bloatware isn’t bad at all and that they “barely notice it”. Obviously they didn’t see how much space was trashed, and had barely used their phones before they started pushing ad notifications that aren’t obviously removable.

The only clean phone experience these days is wiping an Android phone with LineageOS. Everything else is a waste and a disrespect to the users.

@aral I’m genuinely surprised that is a thing over there… :blobcatsweat:

oh yeah, how did Apple get away with calling it “sideloading” instead of “installing”? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ1hEeD-7tQ

what the hell is this thread

RE: https://mastodon.social/users/arclight/statuses/109757617302820337

all I’m going to say is that Excel is pretty damn limited and cranks up the kinds of casting/comparing issues JS is infamous for by a thousand ‒ and that anything else that is argued on this thread is not fun :blobcatgooglyheadache:

I expected this to be more about cores, particularly considering Roscoe worked on Barrelfish…

But it’s about having multiple processors in a same machine (CPU, GPU, power management, security enclave…), how the OS is not the OS because it only operates on the CPU, how everything else is a hellish mishmash of random software, how hardware is being designed to avoid the OS more and more, how he wishes OSes were designed to acknowledge this (particularly that of shared memory address spaces)…

And how there’s big job security opportunities on OSes…………….. :blobcatsweats:

@synthgal because more awareness means more likelihood of activism which means more likelihood of opposition which means smaller likelihood of adoption and greater likelihood of legislators like the EU looking for juicy fines to extract

as seen already by FLoC not getting a lot of activity and Manifest v3 getting delayed, this actually seems to do something

Let’s take a moment to remember that Google is

• still trying to push forward in-browser tracking with FLoC
• still trying to get rid of effective, plugin ad blockers with Manifest v3
• still blocking the release of WebAPK (servers for signing web app APKs on demand) for non-Chrome browsers

Keep remembering, because that’s the best way to keep them in check

It was a cool time of early exploration, I would do stuff like learn about Plan 9, play Sonic fangames, or absolutely suck at modelling in Blender :blobcatrainbow:

That was also around the time that I got started with Windows 8.1 and got a Surface Pro 2.

You understand why I was excited now? LOOK AT ALL THE COLORY STUFFS HAPPENING

I also played a bit with OS X, but not really: here’s all the ever-so-slightly interesting stuff I could find right now

Ah, wasn’t the Surface just great :blobcatuwu:

It was a year of experimentation: this is when Ubuntu Touch was announced, the first attempt at convergence, leading to the failed crowdfunding for the Ubuntu Edge (ye, remember that?). It felt like the crossover between desktop, laptop, tablet and phone was bound to happen, and it was something I focused on for a lot ever since.
