A GTK 4 application showing an empty window uses about 160 MB of RAM:

$ wget https://movq.de/v/138ab3e622/win.c
$ cc -Wall -Wextra -o win win.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk4)
$ ./win

It also takes several seconds to start on my machine because it is compiling shaders and initializing DRI (it’s faster on the second run, unless you happen to lose ~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache/). This might be a hint as to why it’s using so much memory: There’s obviously much more going on behind the scenes these days, not just a little bit of internal housekeeping and then creating a window.

@jmjl It depends on the compositor. I tried Hyprland earlier and it exposed the problem.

Never heard of interception-tools, looks promising. 🤔 Thanks!

@movq That's pretty
weird, I have been able to replicate this using two keyboards. You
could use interception to make those two keyboards act as one.

See section 2.2.5 from this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Interception-tools, for more information.
@jmjl Yes, kind of – I can type on the individual halves, but Shift on the left part plus some letter on the right part doesn’t work. 🫤

@movq Shouldn't it just work as it should be recognized as two HID devices, just that they only type half the keys?

Ah, damn … I have that nice split keyboard, which I really love (I use it more than my Model M 😅), but it’s actually *two* USB devices. Wayland compositors usually struggle with this. 😢 When Wayland really hits big time, I’ll have to look for another model … Let’s hope the keyboard just breaks in the meantime, otherwise it’s gonna feel a little bit frustrating.

I'm just hoping the Panthers can turn it around in the Finals. As a Lightning fan it wouldn't be devastating if VGK won, but I'm rooting for Florida.
I thought we called those palmettos so we didn't have to say that every house in Florida has roaches.

@movq Yeah. Actually quite a bunch of them. I have no idea what they are, but in my last forest stroll galleries you can see them, e.g. here together with the tadpoles at the embankment:

Fish and tadpoles

The pond itself isn't too tiny. I will try to make a better photo next time. There are also a few very large fish in this pond. Close to half a meter in length, no idea about the species either. Most of the time they're submerged, it's very hard to spot them. I've only witnessed them a hand full of times over all these years. One day last year I could see five (I think) specimens. That was by far the best time. Most about 40 cm long, the largest individual measured 50-60 cm I reckon. I usually only hear them splattering somewhere every now and then. But catching sight of them is mostly impossible.

Yeah, I try to avoid these hot hours, too. But my mate had an appointment later, so either we skipped this week again (next weeks don't look any better) or just did it. What can you do. Definitely will take some water with me next time.
@marado That looks nice.

@lyse Wait, fish? In those little ponds? 😳

Sounds so exhausting. I’ll rather stay indoors during those hot hours. 😅

@movq Ah, I see.

We fed the tadpoles (this time also tadpoles ate the dry bread, not only the fish) and bought some milk. So, just a small stroll. Being out for two hours in 27°C heat is bad. Especially in the sun it's awfully hot. I'm soaking wet and drank half a liter mineral water straight after coming home.
@abucci By far the best one, though! 😂

@lyse Pretty sure that’s a “rook” (Saatkrähe). Their beak is very distinctive.

@movq Very busy air traffic around you. Like each minute one plane, wow! But great airplane shots. The head of 4866 looks like an eagle, but the tail clearly tells that it is a red kite. What bird is 4912?
