Which one? The only thing mentioned by name here is gnome.

Doctors HATE this funny prank

So, it clearly would not affect you in any way, shape or form either way, but you still want it gone. Sure buddy, try sounding virtuous in that position.

That’s propaganda by Hulk (big green).

Dang, medieval peasant had it better than I thought.

Hey, I’m using that. It works fine.

…well, I have little to no expectations from a launcher beyond “can have pages, shortcuts, widgets, and hide apps”, so there’s that. It got a few visual customization regarding icons and grid size, and so on. The biggest praise I can give them is that nothing seemed out of place or annoying.

It is annoying. You know what you wanted to write. We know what you wanted to write. The algorithm know what you wanted to write. And if you’re so inclined, your god/gods knows what you wanted to write.

If you write “f*ck this sh!t”, you’ve offended exactly the same number of people you would have with “fuck this shit”. Stop acting like a posing saint and just say what you’re saying anyway.

No, not “off” the internet.

Off the big corporate-driven soulless sites, maybe. Smaller discussion groups/forums, dedicated services, etc. still works. It’s less tedious, less eating your brain.

Basically, going back to internet before central planetary services that feed on everyone being miserable.

To test a very stubborn program I had to install windows in a VM and use it for 20 minutes yesterday. It felt like I was swimming in a swamp located at the exit pipes of a factory that exclusively produce shit and deadly biohazard material.

You can put your taskbar in the middle of the screen if you so desire!

The fuck you’re on about.

You know what? Don’t bother. Ignoring that we’re “in control of violent Islamic extremists”, I’ll just keep on trucking in relative peace (even though I’m in one of the worst city out there).

Some people are just dick. There might be a bigger crossover between programmers and socially inadequate people, but thankfully it’s not a complete overlap (I hope).

Hopefully you’ll find saner people somewhere else. It’s fine being snarky with people you know and know can handle it, but doing so with stranger online really looks bad moist of the time.

I’m sure if the only two options were Shrek or a moldy orange, a majority would vote for Shrek.

The beauty of an open system is that you can do pretty much whatever you want in it.

The horror of an open system is that you can do pretty much whatever you want in it.

Whack people in the face with big wads of cash for long enough, and they numb out.

…and I’m generously assuming nothing more sinister was in play.

Interesting. Their website would make me run away fearing it’s from a cheap fake download button scam from ten years ago, but the software itself looks pretty legit.

It doesn’t have to be one or the other. It’s just a rhetoric that was jokingly pushed on back when communication wasn’t worldwide, immediate, and lacking context. It has now been repeated ad-nauseam by people that have no idea of why it was said in the first place.

Some GUI tools are efficient. Some CLI tools are efficient. Sometimes, both are efficient. It depends on the tool AND the task at hand. Unless you’re taking internet memes at heart, then use whatever.

Well, to be honest, I do sometimes mock (in a friendly manner) some coworker that are using GUI almost exclusively. The only reason I do that is because the exact same task could be accomplished in a fraction of the time with minimal CLI knowledge. But even then, it gets the job done.

If you actively edit/delete some system files non-essential for boot, but that would break some integrated features, sure. But random corruption of protected system files? If that happens, you’re not fixing anything without changing your storage and/or the rest of the hardware anyway.

Simple things can work well in GUI.

Now, working on a GUI that tries to expose every little features? No thank you. I would not want to develop it, and I would not want to have to use it.

It’s ok to go install a software through discover instead of using the CLI.

That sounds like way more work for approximately the exact same result. If it fits, it fits :D
