@helge @ctietze @dasdom Was investigating a bit. Really fell in love with that project. When I randomly found it on the web I always thought it just were some nerds who invented their own language. But that they really ported a big bunch of #Cocoa, including nib/xib translation really is an exciting thing to me. And it even looks very well, way better than #GNUstep. 😉

@leeg @Barkoded I have fond memories of the booth times at FOSDEM in the 200x‘s.

@dennyhenke I was just looking for a #WindowManager that could use those themes, but I fear there aren't any, even in the #GNUStep camp which should be the nearer to those sensibilities (I used unar theunarchiver.com/command-line to unpack those SIT files from @macthemes

An new #wmlive version matching Debian/Trixie point release 13.3 has been made available, this time without any donation requirements.

Check it out at wmlive.sourceforge.net

The former requirement for a donation has been dropped as it didn't generate any sufficient increase in donations, and rather resulted in wasting even more time with donator access management.

Gave an update on #Gershwin Desktop development for #FreeBSD, #GhostBSD, and #Linux in yesterday's #GNUstep meeting. Working super hard to make the desktop welcoming and familiar to switchers from proprietary OSes - but not just superficially. Design, after all, is how it works, not just how it looks. @greg_casamento put up the recording: youtube.com/watch?v=DDwLzy8map

The #previous packages at wmlive.rumbero.org/repo/pool/m have been updated to its current 4.0-r1747 version.
The builds are based on libsdl3 version 3.2.10 as offered in Debian/Trixie, which is the target release these packages have been built for.
As usual, packages for i386, amd64, and arm64 have been provided.

There will be no further builds for Debian/Bookworm, as it doesn't include any libsdl3 support packages.

Instead of waiting to the end of the year for the passphrase of the encrypted 7z archives of the amd64 & arm64 variants of #wmlive, Christmas is best to enjoy it already. Here is the passphrase: ThanksForYourSupport Downloads at wmlive.sourceforge.net #windowmaker #gnustep #linux #debian #next

Instead of waiting until the end of the year for the disclosure of the passphrase to unpack the encrypted 7z archives of the amd64 and arm64 variants of #wmlive, the Christmas holidays are probably the best time to enjoy playing with it already.

So here is the passphrase: ThanksForYourSupport

@helge @sgharms Two arguments to feed my reasoning:
Let's say it could be a SDK.
This is the list of frameworks of Mac OS X:
developer.apple.com/library/ar

Of these #GNUstep provides two. Only one (Foundation) works.
The other one (AppKit) doesn't.

@sgharms Apple still develops #macOS more than #GNUstep ever evolved. Problem is I don't like the direction it's going. I don't want a network request for every app that I open.
But GNUstep won't help. It's just a POC, not able to deliver meaningful software anymore.
In case you want to develop #ObjC on living systems, try @objfw on literally any OS out there. In case you want a system where ObjC really is used to develop current applications, try #MorphOS.
