Thoughts about Qt WebEngine survey

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?

The major point was that the comment field at the last question had to be EMPTY to be able to send the whole survey, if I wrote whatever into the comment field, it would not send the survey since I did NOT fill the comment field.

And the last point on my mind is that I tried to send the mail to 2 different Qt mailing lists “interest” and “development” and got rejecting mail back “only subscribers can send messages here”. I gave up and made this post, enjoy.

GPG Update 2026

A recent toot of mine got the response “friends don’t let friends use GPG” which, I suppose, is true enough. It certainly isn’t the attestation-friendly thing to use, and the opsec failures that are so easy with GPG-encrypted mail make it a hazard there. …
