 emily | "The Electron-based IDE will replace the QtWebEngine version entirely in a future release" (RStudio, 2022) | 08:21:34 |
| emily | we can probably switch to that, I guess | 08:21:39 |
 K900 | Did that actually happen | 08:21:47 |
| K900 | lol | 08:21:47 |
| emily | a couple Deepin things | 08:21:52 |
| emily | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
Did that actually happen well they're merging Electron updates | 08:21:59 |
| emily | https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/pull/15449 | 08:22:04 |
| emily | so presumably it's a going concern of some kind | 08:22:11 |
| emily | https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/ points ot the Electron version | 08:22:32 |
| emily | * https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/ points to the Electron version | 08:22:34 |
| emily | so I'd say we're behind | 08:22:37 |
| emily | supercollider and csound-qt – what's with audio programming languages and Qt 5 WebEngine? anyway I'm guessing those are optional components. | 08:23:47 |
| emily | ok, Plex Media Player, that's painful | 08:24:09 |
| K900 | Oh yeah, Jellyfin too | 08:24:28 |
| emily | "Note: Plex is no longer actively maintaining Plex Media Player." | 08:24:30 |
| emily | never mind! | 08:24:32 |
| emily | it's not painful at all! | 08:24:34 |
| emily | it's been unmaintained since 2021! | 08:24:42 |
| K900 | jellyfin-media-player is stuck on qwe5 for some weird technical reason | 08:25:11 |
| emily | https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player/pull/599 | 08:25:43 |
| K900 | Something about how it interacts with how they render the UI on top | 08:25:55 |
| K900 | Or something | 08:25:56 |
| emily | "This branch is fully unsuitable for release, and releasing it would currently add no value to the ecosystem." | 08:26:00 |
| emily | otoh "The most reasonable way forward is to ride Qt5 until compat loses support". | 08:26:10 |
| emily | it seems like they at least care about the EOL, so perhaps they'll migrate by 25.05? | 08:26:31 |
| emily | subsurface, Linus's third most popular program | 08:27:06 |
| K900 | There should be one last Qt5 release around 25.05 | 08:28:13 |
| K900 | So presumably they can ride that out | 08:28:19 |
| emily | it's basically guaranteed there's a Chromium CVE that doesn't get backported within 6 months of that, surely | 08:28:42 |
| K900 | (and also, at this point it wouldn't surprise me to have Qt extend the window even more) | 08:28:48 |
