A system's purpose is what it does. The way to stop the attention stealing machine (Facebook, TikTok, etc) from stealing your attention is to turn it off. The way to stop the data stealing machine (OpenClaw) from stealing your data is to turn it off.

You don't have any control over any of the workings of Facebook, Tiktok, etc; you use them, you have to accept what you get. You have full control over the entire working of OpenClaw, and so can always improve it.

There is no viable solution to the lethal trifecta, and the lethal trifecta is the whole reason openclaw gets used in the first place. If there was a viable solution someone would be making billions off of selling it.

skeledrew · 3 days ago

There's always a viable solution. Just need to look+think hard enough. Sometimes someone just randomly happens on a solution too.

I'm getting pretty tired of seeing call-outs like this. What happened to suggesting viable solutions to the issues? This is something that many people want, as shown by the steep rise in popularity, and saying "stop using this thing; it isn't safe" will likely just be ignored by many benefiting. Bring solutions to the table that'll mitigate the problems, without nerfing the tool into abandonment.

How does it compare to Beeware?

skeledrew · 5 days ago

Far easier to use. I never got beyond just trying to setup Beeware; became overwhelmed by complexity. Flet, you install it like any other Python package and start coding your UI. It's one of those rare things that just works(tm).

Neat. I'm skimming the documentation now and it looks like something worth keeping an eye on.

I have so many long-running scripts that I sometimes set up with TUIs or quick PyQt/PySide GUIs but the GUIs always seem overkill and the TUIs always leave me lacking. flet looks like a good in-between of the two.

skeledrew · 6 days ago

I'd say it definitely makes building GUIs more simple and intuitive than the Qt and Tk frameworks at least. And very important for me, it's fully cross-platform (for the most popular platforms anyway). I must admit that the imperative style does start to become painful as complexity increases, which led to me dropping it for a while, and so the declarative update is welcome even though it takes some time for me to mentally grep.

They said "likely", so they don't "know." Yours is the wrong question.

skeledrew · 7 days ago

The "likely" does give the impression that they have a pretty good idea.

This reminds me of college, when some of my professors were still sorting out their curriculum and would give us homework assignments with bugs in it.

I complained many times that they were enabling my innate procrastination by proving over and over again that starting the homework early meant you would get screwed. Every time I'd wait until the people in the forum started sounding optimistic before even looking at the problem statement.

I still think I'd like to have a web of trust system where I let my friends try out software updates first before I do, and my relatives let me try them out before they do.

> let my friends try out software updates first before I do

And who do they let try the software before they do? And so on... Where does it ended?

It’s LVGL based, if the GUI and widgets are what you wanted you could use that on Android, although if you have access to native Android this actually doesn’t seem like the best approach to me.

skeledrew · 8 days ago

The primary goal I've been seeking for a while now (and which so far only flet has reasonably fulfilled) is the ability to dynamically create GUIs. Like I created a REPL app which works similar to the regular Python REPL, but also if the code entered at the prompt returns a control/component, it shows that control with full functionality. No need to compile anything, esp on another device. And it's a standalone app, not a frontend to a server or even a web view.

That looks interesting. I had not heard of flet.

How do you like it? How easy is it to work withe the layout controls?

skeledrew · 8 days ago

It's a mixed bag, as it's still not stable (esp as very recently declarative support was added in what was likely a mostly-rewrite). But when it works, it works great (I've only tried on Linux and Android).

Looks better than any Python GUI framework I’ve seen..

I reckon you've never seen flet.
