Here you can find blog like posts of things wandering through my mind. There was a time I did a lot of writing. Some day I just stopped. Without a good reason. But it’s never too late to start again.
A reasoning for why I stopped is on my list to write about soon.
Seems empty atm, but I will eventually get there…
I made upgrades to my noctalia plugin. It now supports another keyboard! Also I had some fun with another project. not-just-text displays… well not just text :D
squeekboard toggle Yesterday I made my first plugin for noctalia-shell (Noctalia). It’s a plugin/ bar widget that adds a bar widget to toggle the Squeekboard on-screen keyboard. Works with 2-in-1 Linux devices. Features One-click toggle — Left-click the widget to show/hide Squeekboard Visual indicator — Icon reflects current keyboard state (active/hidden) Live state sync — Monitors gsettings changes from external sources (tablet mode, accessibility settings) Tooltip support — Hover to see keyboard status Non-intrusive — Works alongside automated tablet-mode switching without conflicts How it works The widget uses gsettings to read and write the GNOME accessibility setting org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled, which controls Squeekboard’s visibility.

I just stumbled upon this blog-post of networkchuck, a content creator that sparked my interest to be more into trying out “more technical stuff” on my own. The problem here, at least for me, was that I already had started to build my website in a more complicated way before. I just uploaded the files manually to the GitHub repository manually. Painful and probably the reason I didn’t write stuff basically at all. But I was already building with hugo and using GitHub. ...
what is wrong with the internet? I just have the feeling recently, that the web is getting worse. Even more than I have thought it to be. But let me start from the beginning. The internet, as I used to know it, has kind of ceased to exist. It used to be a place where actual humans used to interact. But recently I can’t overcome the feeling, that I - ironically - have lost the connection to actual real human people. ...
I like to think of myself as an optimist in practice, but this doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t be pessimistic about humanity as a whole. Always. Just look us, doing all the same shit over and over again. Nothing to be left with, exept weltschmerz. cred. Max Horkheimer
