Both are great projects really, and big projects at that - big stacks, lots of moving parts.

Whereas GNOME tries to be more uniform, Plasma tries to be more bespoke.

I don’t care which one you use, really. I just love GNOME design principles and it’s desktop paradigm.

Is GNOME a perfect project? No. But when these troglodytes crawl out of their discord servers, I just can’t help but be infuriated by their pure malice and ignorance.

So fuck em. I’m done with this thread.

You have a nice day now, y’hear?

“16 years of paving the way for Plasma”.

There, fixed that for you.

Huh, I guess you’re getting to them then with your massive winging. Guess you’ll get your Rube Goldberg desktop you want and still complain.

“most very useful”.

List. Tell me which ones.

Oh noes! Design spec?!? :( STANDARDS AND ETHICS?!?! No! I Want you to install my halfass, broken solution instead of waiting for a proper solution to come along! I’m such a special boy and know coding better than you! HOW DARE YOU HAVE PLANS!! /s

Like some of you are buffoons and need to go use something like Plasma instead. I love Plasma, not pushing that down, it’s just that if you don’t know the modus operandi of GNOME in 2024 already, you might as well give up trying.

At the very least give up complaining. You wouldn’t have Wayland if it weren’t for WONTFIX, ya daft cunts.

Hey, look who’s no longer pushing the envelope… come on irrelevancy…

…this post is the oldest link in a chain of conclusions that we could find, which lead to a turning point in history, which helped to bring about a a movement similar to the early skinhead movement of the 1900s - before ethno-nationalists had co-opted it - the difference being that skinheads wanted to solidify the identity of fhe common man, the common labourer, where as a nuller is someone who rejects identity entirely.

You can’t be fully nullified, unless you’ve legally changed your name to null (all lowercase) and only partake in arts and entertainment dedicated to the nullification of naturalistic urges, to bring about enlightenment via the understanding of art and rejecting “the feels”. Nullers often wear bright clothing, signaling a blank slate of mind, with blank expressions, speaking in monotone voices. Even the way they speak is entirely clean, logical and direct. Therefore, to truly be a nuller, one must shed any form of identity. One must become null.

It’s said that people have never been forcefully nullified, but there’s speculation that certain collective communities partake in practices meant to nullify the individual more effectively. The question is wether or not it is indoctrination or grooming, as the collectives swear that these processes are completely voluntary. Certain psychiatrists however claim that FOMO and a want to become nullified negates any warning or critical thinking in cases when people suffer from weakened impulse control, feel the need to satisfy others or other conditions, that the collectives may be taking advantage of vulnerable people.

Whatever the case, nullers are found everywhere today. Non-descript people, who don’t adhere to race, nationality, religion or anything else. The famous author Dr Rinsegüld said: “a nuller is a puritanical humanist. They thrive on the idea of subverting, and even erasing the animal within. They’re tiresome sticks in the mud, who won’t dance around fires or joke at the expense of others. Whatever type of human that is, it doesn’t actually seem alive.”

They say many who become nullified change forever. Some say that the method of personality control - both from the individual and the collective - is so powerful, that the difference between a nuller and a computer can be negligible. The various collectives and groups have their share of members, as well as their places in various lists held by governments around the world. They are spreading rapidly and some people are concerned they may turn into a full blown political movement.

We here at TNN wish to tread carefully, but from what we’ve seen we are personally frightened and leave it up to parents out there to make the best decision for your children. If your children start dressing in all white, speaking in monotone voixe and talking with clear logical intent, unburdened by want or need, they maybe in the process of being indoctrinated. Be advised.

Some subversion of 3, which is fundamental to a lot of software found out in the wild.

One of my favourite legal disclaimers of all time. It reads like Bukowskian legalese.

I think Fedora Media Writer kind of hits those boxes, and the Fedora installation (with the Blivet partitioner) is fairly easy.

My problem, however, and Brodie on YouTube can attest to this, is the language. Open source projects have a problem with communication, messaging and signalling.

It should be the priority of design and the UX to properly communicate actions, events, consequences, etc. It’s also about accessibility, as bad messaging can be confusing and off-putting.

haha java is terrible, mostly because of who owns it.

No no. You need at least 8 cocaine addled executives around you at all times, screaming at you, some reciting the company fiscal statement like tounge talkers praying away demons, and some just fucking each other over desks to assert dominance, which might spill over to the employee…

How else are you going to make an AAAA-game? Those micropayments aren’t going to implement themselves. Sheesh.

In 2024? Yes…

…NixOS is the new Arch Linux. Change my mind.

I’m wondering how many open WriteFreely instances there are.

$80 game…

“LOOK!! WE’RE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING!!! ALL OUR USERS ARE NOT PDF FILES!”

And he cannot lie

And let’s not forget TicketMaster, the overseer of stages.

My god. Corpo propaganda, here we go. HERE WE FUCKING GO!!

Let’s make this absolutely clear, piracy of any kind, including music, is no longer unethical. Why?

Who owns the majority of musical intellectual property out there? The artists? Gtfo here with that bunk. If you got signed by anyone, chances are that you’ve lost any right to royalties, because it’s been absorbed by the publisher or the studio.

Why don’t they own it? This is a careful reminder read contracts and know that unless you’ve got an army of lawyers, you will in some way, shape or form get screwed.

Then you have Spotify, whom you pay to publish your music and you probably won’t see a single cent of it back, because that is Taylor Swift’s money.

Most artists and bands make their money two ways:

1. Shows
2. Merch

That’s it. Other than that, market precedent set by predatory publisher’s makes it so very, very few musicians make money off publishing.

So put it on SoundCloud, upload it with CC Attribute Non-Commercial and give it out for free. Then your music is more widely available, and if someone wants to use it commercially, you want a standard contract at the ready that is non-negotiable.

That is if you follow Hollywood rules, in that you don’t want “from the profit”, but for net gain. Why? Because these mfs cook the books to make sure they don’t have to pay you squat.

And this is fair, since you’re expected to be your own content creator, marketing department, etc. You do all the work, but some asshat who networks that work is supposed to make the big bucks?

Fuck off, you and your New York lawyers. Fuck all of em.
