Are you looking for accounts to follow on here?

There are three directories you should have a look at:

▸ Trunk - A community-run opt-in directory which people can add themselves to, with lots of categories and people listed. Link is communitywiki.org/trunk

▸ Fediverse.info - Keyword based opt-in directory, people can add themselves with hashtags in their profiles. Link is fediverse.info/explore/people

▸ FediFollows - Human-curated directory of recommended follows, you can see the latest entries at @FediFollows and there's a directory by category at mastodon.online/@FediFollows/1

#Fediverse #Mastodon #Follows

@neglesaks@mstdn.io @purism Better than the Made-in-China one though?

Relating to current poll results 

@dallin@fosstodon.org They probably want to additionally keep their hardware looking fresh, modern, and in good condition, so the school users don't get a bad impression of Chromebooks.
Quite a way to do these. More money to and less to the schools and users. Gee, I wish people were more considerate.

@allinone0@fosstodon.org I don't really keep track of it

Coworker: Hey Mike, what's your desk phone number?
Me: Uhhh......
Me: <opens new email and reads phone number out of signature>
Me: 480-555-1234
Coworker: Thanks.
Me: <goes and gets more coffee>

Is it Monday? It feels like Monday.

Just a quick reminder to all that that neither #KDE nor #GNOME is better. GNOME is meant to be adaptive and out of your way, whereas #Plasma is meant to be familiar and user centric. Both fill each other's gaps really well.

They both regularly collaborate and push the same standards like Flatpak and Wayland. They don't compete with each other like they used to a long time ago.

I think about window decoration quite a bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wish the free desktop early on had standardized a way (did it?) for exporting the application's menus to the window system, along with (say) information about which menu items should appear as icons on the window decoration, thus gaining many advantages of both SSD and CSD. (4/4)

From a more philosophical point of view, window decoration is more of a system element – you mainly move, close, resize, maximize, minimize, and many other special things your system does, from it, so shouldn't it be part of the system rather than the applications? The comes to mind. (3/)

SSD has some nice advantages too; window managers can use it very well. Unity would merge the titlebar with the bar at the top of the screen when maximized and could merge the File-Edit-View-etc bar with the titlebar. SSD is much better at working with poorly/not responsive windows, too. (2/)

@gloopsies @TheEvilSkeleton Yeah, CSD does enable a lot of UI potential; putting widgets in the titlebar works great, and I think it so elegant when modern GTK apps change the titlebar depending on context. (1/)

@TheEvilSkeleton I'm still irked by how does title bars client-side though. Many environments use server-side title bars which can work differently, and GTK apps tend to look pretty chubby in i3 etc. :-/ Maybe GNOME and KDE don't compete how they used to, but as a power user this always seemed so wrong to me.
(I'm currently a user btw. I might go back to sway though someday.)

@fssofdeath cool-retro-term? Looks great, I'll need to try that

And worrying about the company behind the product ending security updates. They always seem to end too soon
