Is there any page on which Gnome Web actually works? LOL! The silly thing has a "problem displaying page", for even the simplest of sites. Sometimes, it will be displayed, for a moment, before the browser decides to give up and throw the error. Yelp seems a bit better; it's the same Webkit stuff? This is Gnome and orca 51, as in Gnome OS Nightly. There seems to be a problem with the overview's "search", but, that may be operator error. #GNU #Linux #GUI #accessibility #ScreenReaders #ComputerPlay

There was a conversation on here a week (or two++?) ago that ranged into the "good ol' days" of optimizing DOS 640Kb memory using emm386 and the like with MS and DR DOS etc.

I kept thinking about that conversation and invariably started thinking about old windowing systems like GEOS on the C64 and Desqview on DOS.

Anyway, that led to wondering about text windowing systems beyond what you can do with tmux or screen or whatever.

Twin looks quite interesting. Need to have a play.

I did enjoy the ease of setup of TkInter, and compatibility with Matplotlib, but I was missing the simplicity of immediate mode libraries. In trying to emulate these, now a few callbacks trigger "given this dataclass with state, the widgets should look like this".
The micro-management gremlin is whining that it's repeating useless work, but more importantly the window is complete and I can go on with the experiment.
