A plea to all developers of federated web software. PLEASE make stuff work without #javascript. I can understand things like actions needing javascript, but to simply look at a post shouldn't require it, and it's a security hazard to allow any website to run arbitrary code willy nilly, and all the performance issues with it on low-end machines.
Knocked two features off on #EarthDragon today. The Address Bar can now search, and you can open a file from the download dialog now! I think next i'll knock the preferences window off next. It'll probably be a stupidly simple list for now.
So, if anyone is curious to what i've been doing for the past couple weeks:
- I became the new admin of #Fedicraft, so i've been making sure that's all going smoothly. And for the most part, it is!
- Working on a new game I'm #programming in #Vala. It's also for practicing #PixelArt
- Working on a bulk #SlackBuilds builder that uses features from #BTRFS and slapt-src/get to get the job done.
- Taking a short break from #EarthDragon as I got burnt out on it (This happens with all my projects, I eventually loop back around to it)
This is ridiculous you have to do this.

#TIL you can compress debug info
So, today was my first day #programming with #GTK 4.
My opinion on it: It's decent. It's got some annoyances, mostly in older useful widgets from GTK3 being removed when they probably could've just been abstracted to use the new "correct" methods. Another thing I noticed is that it uses so much more RAM than GTK3. My grpmi program on GTK3 used 6mb, but now it uses 100MB. Quite the jump.
Sneak peak of my sh2exe program in action ;)
