The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

I can't say anything about why anyone would choose Qt over GTk since I
don't know GTk, though I would imagine it's partially the "Qt was
there first" problem, but I can say that GTk is quite nice, it sure is
nice to be able to say

  gdkimage = gdk_image_new(GDK_IMAGE_FASTEST,
                            gtk_widget_get_visual(_w),
                            img.width() * pixel_size,
                            img.height() * pixel_size);
  image_widget = gtk_image_new(gdkimage, NULL);

and have it worry about whether or not the given X connection supports
shared memory, or a given depth, and have it set up all those tedious
exposure callbacks for you.  And then you just change the image later
with:

  gtk_image_set(GTK_IMAGE(image_widget), some_other_gdkimage, NULL);

Not that everyone needs images, but GTk makes them pretty easy to
handle when you do.  It also has a *really* nice color picker
auto-dithered display widget.
