Wow

I love how unique it looks (although it would probably be somewhat impractical to me due to the transparency). The images need to be a bit bigger though, not much is visible.

Nothing wrong with Cinnamon per se, I was just using it back in 2012 or so. It was much more frustrating to use FOSS back then and some of the bitterness has stayed with me I guess. The same is true for Mate…

Although I am no fun of Cinnamon, this is one of the best DE customizations Live seen. Congratulations

I wanted something over the top and colorful, the icons did the job.

I use gTile. Use with caution though, I think it broke my setup and I logged into a blank purple screen.

Indeed! Had to restore to defaults after I rebooted because gnome logged me in a blank purple screen. :D

Haha, I have never seen garuda before. :D

Firefox has been as fast as chrome on most websites for some years now. Chrome was quick a decade ago, not anymore…

Looks good. I would like to test cosmic whenever I have the time.

Try Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. One of the best books I’ve ever read and is more or less what you are describing.

The EU is rapidly becoming a neoliberal hellehole resembling the US. I no longer have any hope for existing institutions resisting corporate encroachment. Best that can be done is the support of initiatives like the fediverse and foss in general but if the current trend continues even that is in a precarious position.

Title sounds like a civ notification.

Oxygen not included

The thing with anything these corpos are doing is that it suddenly becomes a cultural trend for the next week or so, and every techbro and marketbro talks about it all the time. I have been trying to distance myself from this bullshit for a while now but it I find it impossible to do so. Even here we constantly talk about these idiots. No matter how much we make jokes out of them, simply coming in contact with the shit these billionaires have in their heads is indeed depressing. These people are the ruling class of the entire humanity and the best they can do for culture is idiotic social media platforms and ads.

Stupidity and greed, a great combination!

The problem with politics wordwide is the influence and power of corporate and bourgeois power.

Have been using Antennapod on Android for some months now. It is by far the best app I have used. Feature rich and no ads is the best one can hope for.

Also nukes

The main advantage ios has over Android is its lack of support for virtualization (like java). This makes their apps much less resource hungry, faster, and the phone does not slow down as much over time. Given the fact that idiotic apps like Instagram and Facebook need supercomputers to run on Android the difference for the end user is a huge gulf performancewise. It must be a nightmare for developers though.

For people who know what they are doing it is very easy to maintain the software health on android and keep it running fast over time. If you don’t though usage of apps like the ones mentioned above will make it run like a commodore in months.
