Anyone got a favorite C, C++, or python drawing API that at minimum provides rendering polygons and lines of text? I'm looking for something that is fast to set up and sketch things out without having to fuss with lots of custom boilerplate. Basically looking for alternatives to Cairo and PyGame. My priorities are fast, easy to set up, reasonably simple API, and a permissive license.

EDIT: leading candidates are openframeworks, allegro5, and thorvg or lvgl. honorable mention: godot turduckin

i should as probably clarify that i'm of the disinterested opinion that android and steam should not be aspirational for linux developers, simply because android and steam already exist and maybe we shouldn't waste our efforts giving people a half hearted alternative to something that already works well for them. i don't think linux "should" be any one thing. i think it's at its best when it can be a lot of different things, but that means people developing for it often work cross purposes

now obviously there's distros that don't do that, but they pull from the same pool of software, so that mentality still bleeds through in lots of ways. android and steam deck both notably go out of their way to give you something else as the frontend and default software ecosystem, and let (to varying degrees) the bold and the technically inclined peel it back if they want to. i think that's interesting

there's ample proof that linux can be distributed in ways that are non-hostile enough that every day people can use it without a significant investment into learning technical and philosophical minutiae (android, steam deck). given that many major distros still gate having a working computer on understanding the "non-free" shibboleth, I think it's reasonable to conclude the main thing holding back widespread adoption is the community is still largely not willing to meet people where they're at

(forgetting the word "euler") greaser angles

my annoyance with this has completely derailed me from what I was originally gonna complain about: umount should have a special warning if you try to umount your current working directory, because this is not the first time I've done it and then had to use lsof and search through the process table etc because I just didn't notice that I'm literally blocking it with the terminal I'm trying to unmount with and it'd save me that time to have a specific warning like that

My husband informed me of this great little website called "One Minute Park" where you get to see one minute of a park from various places in the world (and you can contribute your own)

Perfect for a minute of peace.

1. start a journal. choose one colour of pen or pencil for each headmate, and switch between them. pick up every pen at least once per journal entry, and give some time for the headmate to start writing before moving on. for maximum effect, establish different styles of handwriting for each headmate.

2. install the app "tweet note". this mimicks the interface of classical twitter, but fully offline, and you can create multiple accounts and alternate fast between them. it's complete with likes, boosts, replies etc. create one profile for each headmate—the whole deal with avatar, profile description, pinned toots etc.—then open it like you'd browse social media. frequently open the account-switch button and give space for headmates to pick up and reply to stuff.

3. lay a few chairs in a circle, one for each headmate. physically sit on each chair and talk, with your voice, out loud. then get up and sit on other chairs. only that person can speak on that chair. be sure to sit on all chairs throughout the conversation.

warning: conversations done in this way might be much longer than you expected and take you into directions you'd never imagine.
