I've been partaking in a discussion of some people's trait/idiosyncrasy of arranging items by their color: https://social.librem.one/@m0xee/108955030149258151
And I'm convinced to believe I'm not one of them, but I'm looking at the screenshots of my phone's home screen and realize that I might be worse. It is minimalist, but I spent a lot of time to make it look like this. The apps in the drawer are sorted alphabetically, but look like there is some system behind this, at least to me.
@Zerglingman
I use something called Omega Launcher. It has LOTS of features I don't really need, but I really like that you can get rid of all the labels, the search and make the widgets full-width. Looks really nice.
But, I really did struggle to make the punch-hole not obstruct the wallpaper, spent like half an hour on small thing like this. It looks okay on the preview, you press "Ok" and it looks all wrong — like I said, had to do it the trial and error way 😅

@thor
> makes no sense in terms of the labour involved
I see what you did there 😏
You're a Marxist because you think the world is unfair,
I'm a Marxist because I'm a stupid lazy person,
We are not on the same level!
@thor I bet these cats could be good at Assassin's Creed 🤣
@tomxcd@fedi.nullob.si
If they don't mind ☺
@evelyn
@thor So true!
@thor At least it not the kind of Russian tourists from that Okkupert show, who can barge into anything, are loud, require a lot of service and can shoot you if they don't like it 😂
@Pixificial
Yup, and considering where I live it's not too bad to be somewhat paranoid.
But I think I went a little overboard and it's time to let some of that go. I don't selfhost, but I use the instance of a privacy-oriented company, and I use VPN from another privacy-oriented company from a different country to access it, I don't have my real name or phone number specified — should be sufficient from privacy standpoint and true anonymity is not what I strive for here.

Что-то подсказывает мне, что дело вовсе не в курсе доллара 😏
@copyrights
I agree, it doesn't look like tusks at a glance at all, but… It's literally in the name 🤣
@dzuk
@joel Are those Arctic icons? I recognize none of these, except for Files and Tusky, but maybe I just use different apps 🤷
@iska@mk.starnix.network
They should be if you have proper microkernel architecture.
QNX used to be like that, it was true microkernel and RTOS on top of that, so kernel was designed to be really minimalistic, AFAIR it only had IPC and memory management, everything else: networking, filesystems and whatnots were modular, so you could remove them lest you didn't need them.
Then Quantum Software were acquired by RIM and it all went south 😢
@iska@mk.starnix.network Aren't filesystems userspace processes in all BSDs?
Systemd was inspired by launchd in Mac OS X I think, it wasn't that bad in the beginning, but became an abomination. I was taking a long break from tech stuff when all of this happened and was reallly shocked to discover most distros adopted it several years later.
@Pixificial
Here I've already did a lot of what I usually don't do, so it can already be traced back to real me, so I'm as open as I can get ATM. I still make sure the nothing can be seen in reflections in the photos and there are no addresses/serial numbers in screenshots, but it's just a matter of habit. At least I didn't come up with some fake personality this time and didn't change the manner I write (punctuation, using upper/lower case, using certain words) — yes, it used to be this bad 😅
@Pixificial
I'm anonymous because of my paranoia. I think I have an actual disorder. On Fedi, I'm actually trying to overcome this as I mention a lot of personal experiences and even post some photos — I feel really uncomfortable doing this even if it's my cats and I'm not in the photo (I'm way beyond this, only a few photos of me exist, my friends ask both before taking the photo and before posting it somewhere even if I'm not the topic of the photo and there is no indication that it's me).
@hideki
> Yeah, it looks aesthetically pleasing
You're already in luck if a person tell an actual painting apart from processed photo. They can, at best, appreciate your skill. If the theme of your art is not offensive to them — it's good art. Only a few can appreciate the artistic design/conception and see this meaning/direction 🤷
It's true for visual art, it's the same with music. Even with literature, which is based on language so it's least abstract.
And it's really sad.
@evelyn I wonder when will Proton turn to the dark side 🤔
@glitter Pet him? 🤷
@atyh tut or gomphothereum for Fedi, mutt for e-mail, gomuks for Matrix, lynx/elinks/w3m/whatever for the web, amfora for Gemini, looks like we're all set! A revolutionary Internet device 😁
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
