Mistakes are easy to make and you want them to show up immediately instead of randomly at runtime. If you have lots of tiles, change the fields later, or manipulate the data in code you’ll make a typo or forget something eventually.

With a class, every tile is guaranteed to have all the fields, and if you give the fields explicit types, they’re always guaranteed to be the correct type. If you do something wrong, you won’t have to figure out why it’s broken later, because the editor shows red before you even run it.

Also, the editor autofill only works when it knows what it’s working with.

You should probably use a class instead of a dictionary for tile attributes.

Going through the property list is pretty weird too.

I tried to contribute to ThiefMD last year, but then realized the author had disappeared and maintenance had stopped. The author’s been gone for more than two years now, so I think it’s reasonable to call the project dead. I checked the date and it seems that my open pull request celebrates its first birthday this friday.

I originally tried to fork it and port it to GTK4, but most of the functionality relied on removed GTK3 stuff and the programming language itself is dead too - I had to compile Vala language server from source because the link to the debian repo was dead 6 months ago (and apparently still is!)

Flathub was the first goal. It should be relatively easy to do Windows as well. I do need to make sure the code works on Windows, as there might be a few surprises, like forward slashes in paths. E: It was a good question, added a section about this to the readme.

That’s pretty much guaranteed. Some said the safe threshold is 1,2 m, but who knows how the number actually looks after validation. So any signature is still important.

I haven’t bothered with icon theming, but I think icons are pretty much universally compatible.

On kde plasma and some other desktops you can change the icons in settings. If your de doesn’t have that option, there should be (more or less janky) workarounds for that. Look up how to do that for your specific de.

Reposted because I got the title wrong

You can edit titles

Native is the New Normal?

That would be nice, if it works out as I’ve been wishing for.

Pretty much. Rust is very strict and explicit about everything, while typescript lets you kinda jam things together in ways that are very convenient but harder to keep track of in your head.

Problem solved in one easy step!

Americans and their units

Well, I did read it. Obviously Apple didn’t use those exact words, but the argument is the same: users are incapable of making safe decisions and need to be protected from themselves.

Oh boy, now I can stop missing C++

I know, but it does let you sled off a cliff if you choose to.

You can wrap everything in unsafe and keep living dangerously!

Every charger I have lying around charges every device I have lying around. I’m happy with that.

It’s a setting you can change.

I’m glad titles can be hidden. They eat up all horizontal space so damn fast.

I know, but plenty of people call Plasma just KDE, and the thumbnail is Plasma desktop.

KDE for Windows 10 …

That title got me very surprised for a moment

It’s only stalking if you aren’t doing it at industrial scale.
