  • Day 259 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing

    Jump

  • I noticed a change in your titles a few days ago. What happened to "until l forget to post Screenshots"? I don't think you forgot, did you?

  • Qt 6.9 released

    Jump

  • Qt is still the only excellent cross-platform desktop GUI framework.

    It's a pity that its current custodian's commercial licenses:

    • are subscriptions
    • are painfully expensive for a solo developer or small group
    • have a reputation for triggering legal threats and badgering from The Qt Company if one ever wants to end their subscription or (separately) use the open-source license for a FOSS project

    This situation makes me afraid to use their commercial offerings, which in turn means they won't get any money from me at all; I feel that I can safely use their libs only in open-source code. Their business model is their decision, of course, but I can't help wondering if their whale-hunting approach actually nets them more money than a more accessible, lower-cost, one-time (or one-major-version) license option would. In many other industries, high sales volume reaps more profits than high price.

    Thank goodness for the KDE Free Qt Foundation.

  • Yes, this is the way.

  • The Last of Us Part II Remastered is Steam Deck Verified

    Jump

  • That misses the point. The Last of Us Part I is Steam Deck verified, but it consumes far too many resources.

    Do note that I'm not just talking about the Deck. Some hardware can run it smoothly, some can't, but in all cases, it's an insultingly bloated pig of a port.

  • The Last of Us Part II Remastered is Steam Deck Verified

  • Verified or not, I hope it doesn't require a year's salary of hardware and a nuclear power plant to run, like the first PC port did.

  • Long ago, I solved all of the ways in which PHP made me sad...

    ...by abandoning it.

    Nowadays we have better languages that can do the job at least as well.
