I really don’t care about my OS UI since I’m barely actually using it, especially after a few minutes setting up one-click actions. Less than 1% of my time and effort on the computer.
Applications, on the other hand, is where I live and FUCKING HELL!!!
Look, if everyone just decided on a style and everyone went with it within a system I’d be okay with that. It’s not great but at least it wouldn’t be jarring.
But having to live by the whim of 50 different app designers is disgusting. I just want to have a good time, not learn 50 different interfaces.
Though my thoughts on it would also stifle new ideas. So that’s bad.
Enhancement? No, everything I have a problem with is explicitly intended behavior and GNOME devs are infamous for their everyone is stupid except me mentality
Does Gnome/GTK have an issue board where users vote on issues?
Free software development is not a democracy, and does not get driven by polls. Features and bugs are introduced by those who show up, within a community that works towards a shared goal.
I don’t believe the intentional behavior is desirable and would like to see what other users think.
That’s a dick way of saying fuck off but I mean they do provide a free service. If they have a vision and don’t want to deal with random people whining about it that’s their prerogative. Same as yours to find that utterly insufferable.
They do provide a free service (GTK’s file chooser), one that I find horrible and inconsistent (as per the thread) and intentionally so (on issues tangential to example that I found, although the proposed configurable behavior would be nice) - so I won’t even entertain the thought of trying and contributing to it, as it has been suggested.
I don’t know what is insufferable about that, other than the initial criticism…
It’s like getting into a car you haven’t driven before and you hit the wipers instead of the indicator ×1000. Or playing an FPS and E is now F, C is now Ctrl, X is Shift, and you tap+hold instead of tap. WHY?!?! You can remap, but suddenly there’s conflicting keys for shit the tutorial hasn’t even introduced to you yet, so you don’t know what you can or can’t get away with.
Some designer or dev has a personal opinion they think is better than everything else and now we all gotta live with it on the hopes that’ll be the new standard. And there’s so many of those arseholes and their DVORAK layouts and putting “Cancel” on the left and “Confirm” on the right of a dialogue popup. “I think it’s better this way and the world will thank my big brain!”
Wait confirm shouldn’t be on the right? Like I am 99% sure most windows pop-up/modal Dialogs had ok on the left and cancel on the right but I am not entirely sure about Linux (also factorio has them left to right as in “go back and go forward” but I dunno if that is RTL dependent…)
You should give www.nerdfonts.com a look. There is a patched version of Fira Code and it’s pretty damn fancy, although there are plenty alternatives and instructions for creating your own if you fell like it.
I think for transparency in Plasma you use “Window Rules”, a tab in which you can specify a lot of stuff, like opacity, and you can confine your settings to certain programs, certain categories of programs, all programs, etc. There’s really a huge customisation potential with Plasma!
I think that’s what bothers me. From the picture, you can tell the lady is wearing an outfit. The gloves, the hat, the boots, the scarf; they are all pulled together. From the back, it looks like the guy’s coat is not as striking and coordinated. Maybe it’s just the orange/cream shoes, blue socks, and khaki pants rolled up, maybe it’s because the picture is from the back, but it looks like he’s wearing a bathrobe while she’s wearing a coat.
The points you made about his outfit were all things I noticed as a mark of style. Basically I took those indicators as a sign that he can indeed pull off wearing this coat.
I think the lady was targeted for a prank. They may know the lady likes to wear the coat and bought exactly the same one then arranged for them to meet on the street.
I dont recall the religious right cancelling people due to their inherent characteristics. On the other hand, the left actively discriminates against people for the same thing.
There is also FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States), or if you were me hearing that for the first time, you thought it was a shortened name for Flying Lotus.
Trinity is criminally underrated. Compared to modern lightweight desktop environments (XFCE, MATE, LXQt, etc.), it’s far more feature-complete and in spite of that it manages to run lighter than any of them.
Back in the day I used to store a skeleton of one under my bed; twas quite funny when my parents found it. Also, a few of those flew into my face when I was retrieving it. Does that count?
I have a windows VM to use Affinity (Photo, Publisher, and Designer), a Pro level suite that will be fine for most work, and is pay once, not subscription.
The beauty of the federated platform is that you get to choose the version of the person you want to follow: would you rather follow the President Biden on Threads, or the President Biden on Femboy Breeding College? It’s a multiple choice question.
Of course, it’s probably best if the US government setup their own domain like mastodon.whitehouse.gov if they really cared to have an official account that they have full control over.
Funny. Your observation made me think that for the purpose of finding stuff it’s most efficient to have a perfectly linear distribution across all letters. Ie if there is 26 letters and I type out a single one I’m precluding 25/26 applications.
Of course the application menu uses fuzzy search meaning it looks at the whole string not just the beginning and also crawls through meta data and tags.
Still for searching it seems most efficient if a language uses all letters evenly 🤔.
I didn’t even know it’s German. Was that deliberate or a happy coincidence because it’s a hard ‘c’ in English and they seem to turn all words that start with a hard ‘c’ into apps that start with a ‘k’?
All iOS browsers have to use Webkit (or did last time I checked). So there’s not much of a point of running Firefox on iOS. It’s basically the same browser no matter what browser it says it is.
I still firmly believe there is at least one sane engineer there who’ll discourage this, knowing this will drive the last few tech-savvy users and their family members and close friends away and I will die on this hill
Google is in the process of undermining the effectiveness of uBlock Origin and other adblockers on Chrome and other Chromium browsers. I believe that change comes into effect this year.
But even before those changes were announced, uBlock Origin’s creator and main dev has stated that uBO is most capable on Firefox.
