When you are using a laptop, do you prefer the touchpad or an external mouse?

Back in 1991, the sysops of the "STaTus BBS" in New Zealand created a #GUI for their board.

The system was powered by "Instant Graphics and Sound," a plain-text vector graphics scripting language for the Atari ST similar to RIPscrip, but predating it by several years.

Here's a video showing an IGS demo they made to give an idea of their impressive "GEM Desktop" #BBS interface:

Now, among close friends, I am well known to be frustated by #interfaces that seem as complex as something the #nuclearIndustry needs for managing a reactor or starting Armageddon.

Indeed, with the same sorts of chips being used in all sorts of different devices, I am *slightly* worried that navigating the complexity of refuelling my vehicle might accidentally trigger said Armageddon.

Who knows where those codes could be hidden, amirite???!? 😳😬😂

#Alexa got connected to #ChatGPT, and started responding to people with disinformation. #VoiceAssistants are #interfaces, and they have the power to amplify what data sources they are interfaced with.

Who controls what information is presented by a voice assistant? Who is liable for misinformation?

Mostly, software interfaces are only defined by their signature and without a formal description of the admissible behavior and timing assumptions.

#ComMA provides a family of domain-specific languages that integrate existing techniques from formal behavioral and time modeling and is easily extensible.

Hello la communaute #Linux et de #Dev 🙂

J'ai appris que le site web de #gtk a fait peau neuve : gtk.org/

Je trouve que c'est ergonomique et ca donne envie de developper des #applications avec toutes ces ressources documebtaires 😀

2/ J'ai appris qu'on peut creer des #interfaces graphiques avec #GLADE 😁

Mais est-ce que vous savez si on peut creer des interfaces #moderne avec GLADE et GTK ?

Il y a d'autres outils comme Glade ?
