I beg pardon but this is *exactly* the cyberpunk I expected. All robot dogs go to silicon heaven.

#QT (1/3) Love this part of @pluralistic's newest post. Property rights, especially as they're practiced and enforced in the US, are in tension with “free markets.” This is why the growth of capitalism has increased the power of “private governments” (corporations) that weaponize the law to deprive us of ownership or enshittify necessities like healthcare.

Just in case there is somebody who is using Clear.Dental in production, I want to let everyone know I am making a number of major changes in the next few months (see attached image)
These will be major changes that will help bring Clear.Dental to the mass market. Now that Clear.Dental is the only Open Source EHR/PMS, getting people to switch has never been more important.

I wanted to marvel at the bot madness but
GitHub kept timing out while transferring 4MB
and browser kept choking on processing 14MB of resources
all spread out over 222 requests
for an issue thread with what about 25 text comments plus about the same number of logged repo actions?
Lord, but GitHub has so many problems.

I think there is a Dunning–Kruger like effect whereby the complexity of rewriting an open source project from scratch is vastly underestimated the less you know about the scope of the work.
You could make 80% of #inkscape in a couple of months of javascripting. But this is 80% of Inkscape's surface. Not actual depth.
Rewrite it all in #Qt? #React? #JS? #Rust? These are ideas aren't bad. But they are vast projects that would cost millions of dollars.

Qt’s New Bridging Technology - Looking Back to Move Forward https://www.qt.io/blog/about-the-new-qt-bridging-technology
«With the new bridging technology, Qt aims to provide not only a set of initial integrations for five pre-selected languages: C#, Kotlin/Java, Python, Rust, and Swift, but also to open and document a few private QML APIs to allow anyone to build additional language integrations in the future».
sysctlview https://www.freshports.org/deskutils/sysctlview/ is a GUI utility for sysctl on #FreeBSD. 
It's probably my first #opensource project 👨💻 , it's still in the Ports Collection 📦 and runs fine, but it hasn't been updated in years.
Maybe it's finally time to brush up on #C++ and give sysctlview a proper rewrite.
The original version uses #gtkmm (#GTK for C++), but a few years ago I ran a poll and most people preferred #qt
So maybe a QTsysctlview is on the horizon? 👀
#staytuned #sysctl #FreeBSDDev #coding #kernel #Desktop #Laptop
Screenshot of sysctlview in "Flags" mode, displaying sysctl variables with a wide matrix of capability flags such as RD, WR, TUN, STATS, MPSAFE, and more. The "View" menu is open, showing filtering options like "Flags Tree" and toggles for various flag categories. The desktop in the background shows several folders including freebsd-doc, freebsd-accessibility, and ports.
Screenshot of sysctlview showing detailed sysctl entries under the kern category. Columns include Name, OID, Label, Description, Flags, Type, Format, and Value. A popup window is open displaying details for kern.version, showing the FreeBSD version string, flags (RD, MPSAFE), and that the value is not writable.
Query riuscita
A screenshot of a sysctlview application window, displaying a hierarchical list of system control parameters. The window is titled "sysctlview" and has "File", "View", and "Help" menus, along with "Main" and "Flags" tabs. The main panel shows three columns: "Name", "Description", and "Value".
Screenshot of the main sysctlview interface showing a tree view of sysctl categories. The table lists Name, Description, and Value columns. The selected item is kern, with description “High kernel, proc, limits &c.” and an empty value field.
