  • I used to think I generally liked most people but it feels like covid made people go feral or something, the vibes are definitely off somehow. Just walking through the grocery store or anything in public feels much more tense than it used to and people are generally much more hostile.

  • Authoritarian is a non-starter for me on account of the fact that it doesn't actually mean anything. Is it the opposite of democracy? What is democracy in this context, and what would your revolution look like?

  • That's gonna be a what from me dawg. I agree that people's empathy is often coopted to let the people actively doing harm get away with it, but holistically speaking shooting a Nazi for example is an act of kindness and empathy.

  • We accept that it's unhealthy to be a shut-in and never leave your house, never interact with others if you can help it, but equally unhealthy is this sort of toxic extroversion where the thought of being alone with yourself for even a few hours is torture to you. If this is you, clearly you have some shit you need to work out that you're avoiding. Take a week off from the internet and going out. Don't talk to anyone. Maybe go camping alone for a couple days. You will survive, and be much more comfortable with yourself for it.

  • I agree, Gnome can CSDeez nuts. They're really ruining my tiling window manager experience. Worse still than the death of global menus is the death of unity HUD style interfaces which were just catching on (press alt button to start a search interface for all the menu options) they were so nice for the likes of gimp and open office.

    Sorry if it's moderately less "ooh ahh shiny" but it's objectively an incredibly efficient way to find things. Gnome has posed no valid alternative for this and several other features that they have sunset.

    As a sway user even I agree with this move. We don't need our own apple-like entity directing the course of Linux UI design toward pretty walled gardens. We can have our pretty and approachable UI cake and power user/traditional desktop features too!
