Just found out that the Gimp alternative “Pinta” shares its name with a rare human skin disease caused by infection with the spirochete treponema carateum (apparently). Which of course is miles better than sharing it with a slur for disabled people, but still not the best SSO.

When you ask that you are more or less subconsciously confirming your stereotypes you have of certain group of people. When I talk to people why do I have to know where that persons parents are born? It’s just putting people into small boxes they have nothing to do with and I hate being put there myself especially when it’s one of the first question. I prefer asking/being asked about the career and life path.

I never get why people do not understand satire, neither on twitter nor here. Its so on the nose you cant possibly think they are not aware of what they comment on… It is satire… right…?

Oh wow that looks pretty and also makes total sense in theory. I think I have seen it in other places as well and might just steal that. :) Thank you for pointing that out.

Yea, as its only applied to italics its less distracting than it might seem at first. Your IDE may not even use italics. In VSCode with my theme, italics are used for comments and variable names, which looks like this:

Recently switched to Maple Mono because it is fun and cozy.

Did you mean Debian based? or really just Ubuntu reconfigured to remove Snap.

I was actually pleasantly surprised when I found out how easily it was to configure GNOME to look more like KDE, especially after reading so much about it to be opinionated. I also like KDEs layout more but GNOME consistencies is what makes me stick with it.

Just need Dash to Panel (which I believe is forked of Zorins original work which Zorin now forks itself) and ArcMenu also add DING for Desktop Icons cause they are cozy.

Yea, im kinda sick of what the tech industry has become. I do believe that tech and even the internet can have a net positive for humanity and I don’t mean it in the early silicon valley “making the world a better place thanks to my compression algorithm” sort of way. It does have the power to bring humans together and not stand in between as well as be an extension of your brain and not a replacement.

Open Phone (currently on hold, the webpage deteriorated over time) a Nokia phone as if it was made today. (usb-c, arm processor, 5g, 1tb sd, rss reader, podcasts, 2fa, web radio, fediverse client, offline lexicon, offline translator, weather, music, maps only showing a compass with directions, signal messenger)

An Arcade Machine built on top of a sensible Linux base running on a raspberry. The goal is to bring indie games in cafés and bars as I am super bummed out about arcades not being a thing :(

Yea, but what if shareholders are listening in? Just engage and move on, it really is not that hard.

Yea, i remember ending up on there more often when I still got my windows machine, but even then it had that weird aura to it. Just downloading it made me feel like it is not the intended way.

Being on Linux and in control of your OS couldn’t you just set the age statically to something like 99? I really do not understand the hate :/

So specific it makes me think if people have a special “in-person doctor’s visit”-outfit and if its weird of me to not have one.

The image makes me so uncomfortable just by looking at it. The way they are hunged down get a closer look of the screen or the right guy is adjusting their screen to get a better angle… Also their brains inside their heads are in direct contact with the sun and is probably past well-done by now. If the chair in the back is the one they two are sitting on then “good night”. Ill give them 2 hours tops until they call it a day.

I really don’t understand why they even did that? Guess the web devs got too bored while the current one worked too well, but that should have maybe been a sign to keep your hands from it.

You don’t even need to be a designer to see how it looks worse even if you are not able to point out what exactly is wrong.

Especially do not get why they got rid of the borders for the sake of minimalism. It adds so much unnecessary mental overhead.

Gamescope is a microcompositor from Valve that is used on the Steam Deck. Its goal is to provide an isolated compositor that is tailored towards gaming and supports many gaming-centric features …

Whoa! That does sound like exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much, ill give it a try tomorrow!

Yea, i figured it wouldn’t make much difference. I was talking more about a minimal setup in terms of not having features like multiple workspaces and such.

I’m aware how stupid this question is, as sway, as stated in the post, does everything as intended. I guess just asking if anybody know a “kiosk compositor” with like no features at all?! Which would be a tiny bit more fitting for my use case. Just a way to start a game directly using wayland from the terminal.

f4mi made a video about them last year. never knew they were a thing.

It might be badly worded. I do think that consumerism is at least part of what brought as here. I’ve met people having several unopened louis vuitton bags because they noticed they didn’t need them afterwards after they bought them or a bunch of drop shipped spy gadgets that pretend to make your house smart or renting a nice car instead of buying it with their last money. they were not that well off themselves. we should just buy less (and by extension work less)

If they do mean living standard as in “living standard” and with that social activities, food and housing they can go fuck themselves.

Honestly was thinking about using jQuery + UI. For a really simple SPA just for fun.

Never really used apart of being forced for money.
