The neat thing is that like

You COULD study and learn how to read the stuff Linux vomits on the terminal

Windows programmes just die and tell you nothing. Good fucking luck.

1. Be gay

2. Find consenting partner

3. ???

4. Say Gex

I hear you but like – fuck mountains.

Posh person nonsense. At fancy parties you’re supposed to use different food weapons for each course and work your way from the outside in. Fairly sure the only reason it was invented was so rich ppl could show off how many fancy pieces of cutlery they owned.

Which is the vibe I get from Gnome’s design and its devs’ attitude in general. “Fancy party”. A bunch of dumbass rules you have no influence over and which people will sneer at you for breaking.

Orrrr I can use something else. Which I do. Something that respects the fact that my computer is in fact mine.

And like i said. It’d be fine if gnome was gnome… If it stayed in its fucking lane serving the people that like it.

But the gnome Devs have a lot of influence on how things like Wayland are taking shape, so their “let’s turn Linux into iPad” attitude does in fact affect me.

Because the point of Linux is I get to make it my own

If I wanted to use what the Devs tell me is the right setup and “just works”, I’d not own a computer at all. I’d just get an iPad, which has that appliance like “no options, just does what it’s made to do, works great under those constraints” thing going for it.

Gnome is very competently made except it’s made for a different genre of person to me, and their attitude towards customisation is outright disdainful. You install an extension or mess around in tweaks and gnome looks at you like you just used the salad fork for seafood.

I think it’s made for people who like Macs or sth.

Wouldn’t be a problem(people can use whatever makes them happy) if the gnome Devs shit attitude didn’t trickle outwards and harm customizability in other environments.

There was one of these soviet ladies that said “I killed no men, just about 50 fascists” or sth like that

Which is epic.

I think it’s a pun on the fact that the fox has been consumed by a machine.

It fits.

Firefox is, as of late, totally washed.

One of my professors in college demanded the class turn in a video production assignment as DVDs.

… This was in 2018

I was the only one in the class who even had a DVD burner (… Because I’d used it some years prior for PS2 games piracy and it was still in my storage box)

So the class bought a spindle of DVDs and I spent an afternoon burning everyone’s assignments to DVDs.

No idea what would have happened if they didn’t have a pet ultranerd like me. Like, did teach expect 'em to go and buy a USB DVD burner just for that?

That’s sorta what you get with decades of janky adaptations to not break old applications while also adding stuff that will be useful to newer applications. A whole lotta jank.

I agree it could perhaps be more orderly, but hey, as long as it works…

(EDIT: Although apparently /usr/ means Unix System Resources??? Idk, I don’t trust ddg THAT much)

Why is cat in your etc

That’s not where that goes, it goes in /usr/bin/

Yes – And it sucks balls.

Some people in a different department of the company do work with Linux. And some get Macs.

Latin America, South and East Asia, and the natives within America itself watching White People finally realise America are the bad guys:

You now planted in my mind the idea of a text editor but it has literally EVERY fancy effect one can think of. Like the text animates fancily when you type it, and every interface element is animated and blur-glassy, and when the color of things changes because of code highlighting it does so generating particle effects etc.

It sounds fucking useless. Someone who’s good at the coding start making this and I’ll donate to your patreon/ko-fi.

Bonus: It’s made in Electron and extremely bloated.

I’m assuming it’s the editor for making things on some game engine or a video editing software, not your text editor. Even the most obese text editor isn’t Like That.

Adorable little rascal.

Haven’t we known Half Life 3 is never going to happen for 10 years now

Swiggity swice

He’s coming for your mice
