Welcome!

I’m sure undermining your officers like this is great for morale and discipline of the troops under them. Great job Dumb McNamara.

I’m not going to defend this garbage but is this really slop? Just seems like your average ad injection.

Like father, like son.

Doubt

Are we going to acknowledge the irony of ranting against forking to protect freedoms on a platform formed as an alternative to protect freedoms?

Seems fishy… Can it do the reverse for proprietary code? If not, seems like it’s relying on being trained on the original code and not “clean room”.

That said, you fork it, you own it. Not technically a fork I guess but conceptually. And all code has bugs so welcome to your full time job maintaining 50 different previously freely maintained libraries.

A lot of times I feel like its more than lazy, its rude.

Either its something I’m supposed to know and you think I’m dumber than chatgpt or to dumb to look it up myself.

Or it’s something you’re supposed to know and don’t think I’m worth the time to give me your opinion.

Either way, feels like a fuck you.

Like… Fredesktop clipboards or is there some Wayland feature causing trouble. B/c my understanding was wms define clipboard functionality generally using freedesktop spec as the base so curious how Wayland is causing trouble.

I’ll find a different application

Pass.

Its my computer, I own it, gtfo and let me use it how ever I want.

Not you… Well damn I was briefly really excited to run into Jordan Rudess on Lemmy!

I used Edge for business tasks. Not like work task, or normal browsing, etc. But figured if someone was going to send me an excel document, if I say “well I opened it in edge" when it breaks, it avoids some problems.

But with the latest updates they’ve really been “Microsofting” it hardcore. Chrome dialogs with broken buttons, impossible to use combined tabs behaviour, dead end settings pages with no controls, crashes, slower and slower browsing…

It’s becoming such a disaster I can’t even use it for that anymore. Now this? Thank god Firefox is still around. Legit hearing people talking about it again…

Yeah I get that, but I just switched between the latest GNOME and the latest plasma and it looks the same to me

I didn’t realize they where different. What does KDE do better for you?

Good enough, dependable. 😅

Yeah I’m tired of the GNOME hate so I checked out pretty quick and here’s a rant.

I basically, I want 2 things.

1. A WM that just works with modern interfaces.
2. A DE that disapears 99% of the time when I’m actually using my computer and shows me just enough to get to my next task when I ask.

GNOME does this. In my opinion KDE doesn’t.

If the process of making your prettiest UI is the thing you’re using your computer for then KDE seems optimized for you but that’s not me.

I don’t want to see the UI. I don’t want to spend time messing with the UI. I want to make it small and black the first time I log in. Maybe change a keybind. Then I want to split screen a terminal and a browser and get to work.

This is GNOME. It’s fine. Stop crapping on people who like that and

And before you asked, I daily drove KDE for several years like a decade ago but got tired of fighting with it. I tried KDE again late last year and it’s gotten a lot better and I’m sure someone committed enough could trim it down the way I want. I tried a couple times and to its credit, I almost got there before getting hidden widgets or broken widgets that caused me to wipe everything and start over. I used to crash the widget manager regularly so it seemed better. But it felt slower and I never was really happy with it so… Not worth the effort.

Yeah it sucks, but when we rise it’s like strawberry fields.

Yeah… All the tools in Linux are going to do this weird thing where they expect it to behave like a normal key. So you’d have to do all the hacks mentioned to make it work. For example, GNOME keybind stops detecting the key bind when you release. Etc. Maybe the kernel will accept a “broken copilot key hack“ that implements it but it’s not good.

Even with hacks, it still won’t work like a modifier like most people use alt/ctrl/win because those rely on knowing the key up to see multiple keys pressed together before release. So… Broken.

As a Linux gamer, nvidia was already on thin ice.

Also I had past them up on recentish purchases since they only really controlled the highest end of the market which I don’t have the budget for. So honestly I have no intention of welcoming them back unless there is literally no other option. You made your bed.
