Oxygen² theme was promised around the release of plasma 6 so probably next year!

If they thought it was that game changing would they really be talking about it?

I used to think I generally liked most people but it feels like covid made people go feral or something, the vibes are definitely off somehow. Just walking through the grocery store or anything in public feels much more tense than it used to and people are generally much more hostile.

For me the main selling point of epaper is that the device can write to it then turn entirely off, for potentially multiple weeks of battery on a charge.

Authoritarian is a non-starter for me on account of the fact that it doesn’t actually mean anything. Is it the opposite of democracy? What is democracy in this context, and what would your revolution look like?

So you admit it will be violent revolution then?

You can be as smug as you want about it, but the people who benefit from capitalism as it exists aren’t just going to let you change things.

Shaka, when the walls didn’t fall

Maybe you will meet someone like that and maybe you won’t I don’t know what to say besides the fact that they definitely exist and you will know it when you see it.

I have. Maybe it’s unkind to say it but they’re kind of a drain on everyone around them. They can’t even go to sleep without a podcast or the TV on.

That’s gonna be a what from me dawg. I agree that people’s empathy is often coopted to let the people actively doing harm get away with it, but holistically speaking shooting a Nazi for example is an act of kindness and empathy.

We accept that it’s unhealthy to be a shut-in and never leave your house, never interact with others if you can help it, but equally unhealthy is this sort of toxic extroversion where the thought of being alone with yourself for even a few hours is torture to you. If this is you, clearly you have some shit you need to work out that you’re avoiding. Take a week off from the internet and going out. Don’t talk to anyone. Maybe go camping alone for a couple days. You will survive, and be much more comfortable with yourself for it.

That’s a shame. I’d probably be content using Mac OS if there was a switch somewhere that put it in “developer mode” or something which would allow you to do that.

Swaywm on Mac OS would be neat.

I’ve haven’t spent much time on mac OS but doesn’t it allow you to run your own desktop environments? I’ve seen things that look like tiling window managers on mac OS.

I agree, Gnome can CSDeez nuts. They’re really ruining my tiling window manager experience. Worse still than the death of global menus is the death of unity HUD style interfaces which were just catching on (press alt button to start a search interface for all the menu options) they were so nice for the likes of gimp and open office.

Sorry if it’s moderately less “ooh ahh shiny” but it’s objectively an incredibly efficient way to find things. Gnome has posed no valid alternative for this and several other features that they have sunset.

As a sway user even I agree with this move. We don’t need our own apple-like entity directing the course of Linux UI design toward pretty walled gardens. We can have our pretty and approachable UI cake and power user/traditional desktop features too!

I got what it meant the first time I heard it so I figured it was fine to use.

Are they really or are you just projecting what you want them to do?

Excluding bullet trains, these are just bazinga-brained Disney world attractions. Could have put mixed use zoning on the front, and toxic grindset work culture on the back.

You are pigeonholing my utterances as logical fallacies. You are committing fallacy fallacy.
