#TIL: there is some fuzz around #SwiftLang usage on non-#Apple platforms. There was a whole devroom at #FOSDEM yesterday showing use cases such as #embedded, #backend as well as #gui development - incl. a #swiftui like cross-platform library: https://adwaita-swift.aparoksha.dev/tutorials/table-of-contents/

Introduction:

Hi! Hawkwinter here. New to mementomori.social.

I had been primarily using calckey.social the past while, (and some of the extra features their software adds are great) but they've been having frequent stability /usability issues that were making it hard to use, and Roni said I could set up here. I have nothing against the Firefish devs / admins on a personal level or anything, they seem quite nice from the bits we've interacted.

I'm also @Hawkwinter@mastodon.art - but I'm mostly trying to stick to using that for art-related stuff.

I do 3d character stuff, 2d graphic design and cartography stuff. A bit of 2d character art. Tech/it stuff. Programming. Working on a Visual Novel in Ren'py. I'd like to figure out how to make VRChat and VTuber avatars.

Not currently accepting commissions, but I would probably like to in the future.

I like TTRPGs? Particularly GURPS, & heavily homebrewed D&D3.x with Eclipse. Also Rolemaster 4e. Played other stuff over the years but those ones are my favorites.

For entertainment, I like Wuxia, and Xianxia, and the Forgotten Realms, and Tolkien.

I'm interested in sustainable longterm architecture (to last centuries, not decades), science and tech, passive heating and cooling systems, and high-efficiency masonry woodstoves. 'Fancy-offgrid'. Regenerative agriculture and watershed management is neat too.

I occasionally read some philosophy. Nietzsche has a few neat ideas on individual self improvement, but the Tao te Ching has neat ideas on other stuff, like a few ideas on how a functional society would work. I'm not going to pretend to be a well-read philosophy student though.

In addition to regular social-media-ing, Gamedev-type stuff might get posted from here sometimes too? I'm really not sure.

Anyway, here's some misc examples of my work in different mediums / styles. The custom in-game menu screenshot is a WIP. I've been doing a good bit of reprogramming and extending things under the hood.

Cheers!

I challenge someone to create a Mastodon client using the X toolkit.

That's too bad. I hope #rust can get a good #gui story going soon. I know that hasn't been their focus so far, but I'm hopping they've made enough progress in other areas to prioritize that soon.

Hi fosstodon / programmer friends! I'm thinking of making a web browser in #Python, similar to weboob but an actual browser. Here's the thing: I only have experience with tkinter. Should I stick to that for my #gui? Most probably a bad idea for embedding media right? What other options could I use? Is Python even the right solution for this? Help!
