I just miss my social life. Back when I was on Windows I had a lot of friends and was banging people constantly in my free time. As a Linux user, I’ve pretty much been ostracized by my local community and my mojo no longer works on the daily trimmings. I might give Mac a try, but I’m just not sure how many tide pods I could possibly eat.

They did used to. They’ve scaled it back recently

Well, what good bars are there now?

I don’t understand what political comments like this have to do with conky, but Keir Starmer is best Prime Minister that we’ve got right now and I’d appreciate it if we could stick to the topic at hand

Look, I don’t really see what this has to do with the main discussion, but I just want to say that - its really not fair.

For one, the way he was depicted in that video was clearly shown from behind so you couldn’t even see his face, and from the way he was talking you can immediately tell that it’s not his mannerisms. As for your other point, that’s not exactly something anyone can control now, is it? I mean how would you react if you were caught in such a dire circumstance and had to decide between your life or someone else’s.

I think it would be best if you just blanked out your comment at this point.

Edit: Thanks for following through!

apparently not, but what the hell do they use then to show system stats and widgets persistently on their desktop?

This is why we can’t have nice things…

Okay I must admit that the Geometry nodes + Grease pencil is a powerful artistic style

I liked the soft gradient XP icons, though maybe that’s just the nostalgia talking

It really isn’t. I do agree that for most purposes a static network with some central public nodes is the answer, but I want something more dynamic

I was also wondering about this. Flatpaks apparently come with more libraries to interact with other Flatpaks, whereas AppImages tend be purely app-specific and their libraries are compressed for their usage only.

Its very easy to use and my goto image editor, but I say that from a position of familiarity of having learned where everything is and what all the keybindings are over many years.

In contrast, Krita seems like a far better image editor, but because the interface is bewildering to me, I’ve shied away from it.

69 Quite Bitter Beings have been waiting for this for some time

xfce4. Stable as hell. X11. Can move windows around using just some keypresses.

booooo

Thanks for the informed context – I think my brain is just predisposed towards seeing such efforts as disingenuous, but I should learn to criticize companies after they do bad things, and not before.

Well, that sounds promising at least. I hope their interests continue to align with their consumer-base for another 20 years, and doesn’t nosedive into the CEO rot we’ve seen with Mozilla

I’m not really. Who are these guys and why am I hearing about them on every social media outlet.

They’re a company whose sole aim is to make money. Right now they’re in the goodwill phase of building community trust, but what’s their endgame? Is this an emerging market they’re cornering.

I know these sound like sarcastic questions, but I’m genuinely wondering.

This company sure has been making the rounds on the internet. I estimate maybe 1-2 years before they decide to cash in on their goodwill with some kind of monetary product

Code dump for the curious?
