    Pretty art, but this meme is really getting boring. I think people are just regurgitating “GNOME bad” because they heard it from some tech youtuber instead of actually trying GNOME for themselves. IMHO GNOME is awesome. It’s a bit different, but very comfortable when you get used to it. And definitely reliable.

    I often see people using some h4x0r i3wm setup scrolling through workspaces and windows for literal minutes trying to find some app they were using earlier, while on GNOME you can just see everything spatially organised in the activities view. They think they have it “tailored for their needs”, but they end up with an unmanageable config file with bits copy-pasted from the internet that is getting harder to understand over time and keeps breaking. I know it from my own experience too, I got tired of it and came back to GNOME.

    But if you wanna go down that route, GNOME is also highly customisable. There’s lots of extensions that let you change every aspect of it. If you know some JavaScript, you can make your own, there’s a decent community and documentation. Things like Niri or Cosmic actually started off as GNOME extensions.





  • Huh. I learnt that 两 is for counting everything. Er is only used if you spell out a number. Like you can’t say “erge ren”, must be “liangge ren”. Maybe you’re confusing it with another liang character, the measure for cars?

    Sorry, I might be wrong, my Chinese isn’t the best.

    There’s nothing wrong with telemetry, it’s not supposed to contain identifying or private data. It’s information about feature usage, crashes etc. and it’s very useful for developers. Especially with open-source software, the devs are generally not your enemies, they just want to improve their products. If some apps spy on you under the guise of telemetry, that’s a different issue.

    There’s a difference to having plumbing and having useless shit like holiday houses, private swimming pools, luxury cars, gold tat etc. And a multi-millionaire like Gabe Newell can even buy all of that and still have a lot of spare money to pay off anyone for any reason. Why would any single person be entitled to that?
