@LAS I wish, there would be a better integration of a fine-grained, app-specific #security-rights model, in the #GUI of modern #linux.
E.g. Let a Flatpak-app ask for the required app specific permissions.
Something like:
"Would you like to allow #Flatpak KeepassXC to exchange Information with Flatpak Firefox?"

The more I make something using AlpineJS, the more I like it.

Sometimes you don't need to figure it out with Vue. You only need some AlpineJS magic and that's it, no need to spin up a whole Vue framework on the page.

Add that to Livewire and Filament PHP and you're all set to create small utilities without hacking your way into the frontend.

Thinking of NEXTSTEP this morning...I'd guess many aren't aware of the unusual color display arrangement.

The NeXTstation, which was the first "affordable" color solution for NEXTSTEP, has a 16-bit framebuffer, but instead of rendering the desktop in 65,536 colors (as per Windows or Mac hardware, say), it rendered in 12-bit color with 4-bits of alpha channel (transparency).

That means it had a palette of 4096 colors, with all colors available at once on the display (not like, say, the Amiga or Apple IIgs with a 4096 color palette, but video modes with a small subset of those colors available (yes, yes, HAM mode excluded). Additionally, anything on the screen had 16 levels of opacity available.

It's interesting to see in person, on the actual hardware (especially on a good LCD display). With dithering, it looks very close to 24-bit truecolor.

(The NeXT Dimension color board for the Cube allowed 24-bit color with 8-bits alpha, but that was not so frequently used -- less so than most NeXT hardware even...)

But that's not nearly the weirdest that NEXTSTEP-capable hardware got, when it came to color video display...

@bitnacht Good point, re: the busy bee.

As for the spinning disc (or "beachball"), it got its start in NEXTSTEP as a greyscale spinning magneto-optical disc rendering indicating the system is busy / data is loading, which was seen quite often on the early NeXT Cube, as it came with no HD but only an MO drive, and it used that drive for _swap_, if you can imagine...

That spinning disc became color when NEXTSTEP gained a color display on later hardware, and from there it evolved into the spinning "beachball" we know today (macOS being structurally based upon and evolved from NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP).

EDIT: Oh, I think I misread - you are talking about the busy mouse pointer icon in Windows, I think. I'm not sure of its specific history. Apologies.

⚡️ Slint: 4 librerie per GUI #embedded a confronto ⚡️

@lucaotta, nei suoi articoli, sta portando avanti un confronto tra librerie per #GUI embedded.
Oggi ci parla di #Slint, una libreria moderna, che pone notevole accento sulla facilità di sviluppo e sul tooling, e con termini di licenza accessibili.
