#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.

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».
