I haven't tried GNOME (or any full DE) in a while — they might be all awful to me at this point 😂 I want just the basic window management: be it dwm or sway, and I want to map shortcuts to launch the software I want. I already rely on some GTK-based software so I have the libraries installed, GNOME software isn't something deeply integrated — in most cases it's just something GTK-based — already having those libraries makes me fine with it.

Single-user instance is low-maintenance, I'm fine with self-hosting, but I'm currently at the crossroads: either I keep paying Proton to host my e-mail or find a VPS and switch to hosting it myself, if I go for the later — I might host Plemora there as well and stop worrying about my hardware not being powerful enough or burning through the power bill too fast. If I go for the former… I'm keeping qoto in mind, thanks!

There are known exceptions… such as the Web (which is complicated… but interesting because it's an exemplar case of regulatory capture), but unification (uniformication? is that even a word) is inferior to standardisation — as it enables evil in order to poke us in the back to take over only one team.

Sometimes I grow tired of splitting my posts into multiple parts and think of finding an instance that won't make me do that or of adding a visible character count for the input field in Bloat, which would at least make the task easier… But then I wake up 🤪

@admitsWrongIfProven
I have once made a template for gnome-feeds — an RSS reader, but it was in Vala and in the next version the *syntax* of Vala changed and it required Vala itself to be updated — my god, more patching! Eventually someone added it to upstream void-packages and it's no longer a problem, but that gave me a taste of what GNOME software can be. The RSS reader isn't even that good ­— uses tons of RAM, so I no longer use it 😂

Unlike Qt, which is a monolithic behemoth, software being GNOME usually doesn't mean a thing — it's not even that tightly integrated, it just means that UI is GTK-based, maybe with a few additional minor dependencies, which is fine by me. Again, that might turn out to not be true — there is software built in Vala.

Most of my computers use Void and the system is very minimal and I do my best to avoid getting Qt installed — my distaste for which comes back from the days when Qt software in general was more bloated and slow, I know that in comparison it might no longer be true, but it's a matter of habit.

@Hyolobrika
I'd choose that over any Qt software — to avoid building Qt, but damn… Flatpak? WTF that is?! How am I supposed to use that, why can't I just build it?
It's one of those moments: "Installation: just use our prebuilt container",— a container, how do I run that on my weird system, why can't I just build it and run in my system natively? 🤪

@Hyolobrika
Fractal claims to be one, I was just eyeing it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal
But as their recommended installation method is Flatpak, which is no go for me, I can neither confirm, nor deny it.
Among TUI ones, AFAIR, iamb allowed it — but there was on matrix.org server that made all the attachments encrypted and iamb didn't support that yet last time I checked. Maybe it was fixed already, but I'm not sure — you could still chat, but you could not see the images people send you.

@gabriel
Are displays with VGA inputs still common these days? 🤔

@waifu
Initially I was going to ask how are you supposed to get to an island by car, but surprisingly the video does address it 😂

@Hyolobrika
It was a rhetorical question… and a joke. Even in the series it's used as a rather awkward way to start a conversation with the main character who is supposed to be a total stranger to this girl, but in fact isn't — she's jealous over a girl she was into, who started dating the MC and she dislikes him initially, but in the end they become friends.
Don't waste your time following Russian politics, it's always safe to assume that it's fscked up 😅

@mischievoustomato @anemone
Some vote *against* the dems, not *for* him — that is also a thing and I don't even think it's that uncommon.

@inlovewithpda
I usually stay away from alternative bars and use the built in one and my status is just a shell script that outputs updated values twice a minute, using colour emojis for indicators, but… God damn it, waybar on this screenshot of yours indeed looks nice 🤩

@Hyolobrika
I'm rewatching Bakemonogatari at the moment and the antlers on your photo remind me of this mummified hand.
Okay, I wanted to post these two anyway because of "I want to hear your perspective on political situation in Russia" — is it as bad as it usually is? 😂

@lain @kaia
I think there might be also an underground casino there — I've seen it once in a Russian movie 🤫

@sysrq @MK2boogaloo
Yep, it's indeed Radiohead — OK Computer actually!
I've never owned this record and only had it on CD-R — that's why I don't recongise the cover art 😀

@catmanmancat @supersid333 @MK2boogaloo @ColPeatGuano
Indeed! I was never an Android user, I don't recognise these things 😅

@epsi @kaia
How could they run out of Poles in Poland? It's no longer Polish People's Republic times anymore! 🤔
