Specialized device for a task

3 Jun, 2025 - 6 minutes
Introduction While modern people can use smart phones for almost anything, I came to conclusion that while it is jack of all trades it rarely gets things right. I do not know if it is because I am old fashioned or just too slow to adapt. I am unable to accept using touchscreen devices for longer than few minutes (moments). The main advantage in using specialized device is for me to have specialized functions such as special screen, better battery life, keyboard with special keys/buttons, and overall environment which allows me to focus on the given task (or just relaxing) without being disturbed by some annoying notifications (like most smart phones do when you use them a bit more). In other words I am able to separate tasks and focus only on them.

I screwed up the release

Falkon 25.04 In the release of Falkon 25.04.0 is a feature to show the bookmark or history item address in the statusbar when the mouse hovers over the item (in menu, toolbar, sidebar). I thought I tested everything, but I did not. I did not test the folders in the bookmark toolbar. Before the release, there was a bug report was this exact issue, which I thought I resolved, but I only resolved a part of it.

A little while ago I worked more on my little script to extract and expand the global symbols from an ELF file with debug (DWARF) informations. I keep it in my head all the time, so… Here are the changes and some explanation for them.

Thoughts about Qt WebEngine survey

14 Feb, 2025 - 1 minutes
I took the Qt WebEngine survey since I work with Qt WebEngine when I work on Falkon. The questions were at times well made and at times made from a corporate perspective when Free Open Source Software development model together with software distribution through the repositories of all the different Linux distributions was totally forgotten. I write this little note here because I took the survey from the development mailing list and found these options missing. How am I suppose to answer when the answer is not there and only supported answer is what is probably directly supported by Qt Company itself?
