Out of curiosity I did some research, and the ones that seems to come closer to me aesthetically are ‘Retro Interface’ and ‘Analog Sci-Fi UI’, mixed with something like ‘Dark Aero’ (similar to PS3 UI).
It’s probably not a single style, but a mixture of different ideas.
Edit: Actually not so much Analog Sci-Fi, but definitely something like Retro/CRT Interface + Dark Aero.
I mean, if they were questioning their sexuality, then obviously they’re not sure. So your question was redundant and out of place to say the least.
Also, as already said in this thread, people don’t generally challenge heterosexuals regarding their actual experiences. So challenging a bisexual/homosexual person about how they feel regarding their sexuality based on their actual experience with other partners does indeed feel like an invalidation and therefore disrespectful.
And at last, on the internet, for many different reasons, it’s quite normal that a debate becomes hyperbolic. But dismissing the situation telling people they’re oversensitive and privileged because of your own lack of tact to deal with the situation doesn’t help your case either.
Have you tried using JDownloader? Copy paste the URL to it, and see if it can scan and find the video. Not sure if that would work, but there’s a good chance.
If it doesn’t work, try yt-dlp.
It seems to me they know what they’re doing: the controversial posts have been nothing but marketing to them.
Up until today I have never heard of it before. But now I’m seeing plenty of discussions around them, most regarding controversies.
That being said, regardless of their political instances (that does seem to be terrible, although I have no interest in diving deeper), there’s nothing there that smells good to me when it comes to what I would expect from a FOSS/Linux project.
That being said, that will possibly be the last time I interact with a post about this. Not interested in giving them any extra attention.
I wanted to be a professional illustrator. Nowadays I barely illustrate as a hobby. Although I still enjoy it I don’t really have the skills for it.
I’m a lawyer and a programmer though. For many years I hated being a lawyer, but I would say that I’ve finally reached a point in my life and career where I’m happy with it.
I don’t really like Gnome as a desktop interface. Not sure why but never really adapted well to it.
Love KDE and Cinnamon though. Probably because I was used to Windows interface for years before I started using Linux.
I believe it’s a mix. Both ‘nostalgia goggles’ and straight up facts.
What I mean is that, when we were kids or teenagers we didn’t see things the same way our parents did. They were the ones struggling, and we were pretty much just playing around and complaining of mundane stuff. So it’s hard to tell how much ‘easier’ life was back then… we were just young.
But at the same time I do completely agree that the advancement of technology and growth of USA giant corporations really fucked a lot of things up badly. While back in the day we couldn’t find answers or information to everything so easily, we lived a more ‘natural’ life, where everyone actually expected things to take a while to happen: you had to wake up, literally read the news if you wanted, take the car or bus to the job, and just then you started working, and while working you had to do some research and so on.
Nowadays things either happen immediately or you’re tagged as lazy or something like it. You wake up with a lot of e-mails or message notifications on your smartphone, and people expect you to answer these demands ASAP. It’s not expected anymore that we do each thing in it’s own time anymore, and the volume of work is much bigger because you’re expected to solve problems much faster. This volume of demand and unrealistic expectations definitely generate stress and anxiety, which are huge health issues nowadays.
And the fact that we now realize, thanks to the amount and speed of information we have today, how the industry leads are fucking everyone up without consequences doesn’t help in the slightest, since it leads to a feeling of being powerless and exploited.
I would guess that Microsoft has to comply to Chinese privacy and data laws, AND that China’s firewall also might block a lot of the telemetry.
I agree nonetheless. They should be using Linux a long time ago.
I think people tend to be naive about Steam.
I mean, I DO think that Steam is miles better than Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo/Epic and I would say they’re probably one of the biggest responsibles to make Linux that much more popular (both for consumer and for devs) in the latest years.
But I don’t know what’s gonna happen to Steam after Gabe Newell leaves. I think there’s a huge risk for a dramatic shift in Valve / Steam monetization and culture. Things are fine now, but that’s still a corporation, and shareholders will want to get the last drop out of it just as these shitheads do to everything else.
Who would have thought that Stremio, after adding paid subscription, would not just not improve but actually get worse. That’s shocking.
I had a feeling it was going to happen at any time. Back to KeePass it is! I was already considering this anyway, so all I needed was a little push.
