Has it ever not been?

How can a function like this exist without parameters for N and T?

ReactOS is mentioned in the article, it’s a somewhat different approach.

wot? I thought compiz was fairly well known but maybe I haven’t kept up with what is or isn’t well known nowadays, been using Linux for too long :D

It’s a thing some people occasionally do. By itself it’s neither a good idea nor bad idea, but people have certainly been confused by it before. It’s better to use software for its actually intended purpose, that is less confusing both for oneself and everyone else.

This wasn’t too hard to figure out: that user is (for whatever reason) banned from lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/u/yogthos@lemmy.ml

“Steiner” is of course someone’s surname (a very common surname in German-speaking countries), not the German word for “stoner”, although they are certainly cognates

in other news, the North Pole is colder than the Indonesian rainforest

Compared to how Microsoft names things, FOSS naming is harmless on average.

Think of them naming the gaming app on Windows PCs “Xbox”, or the distinction between “VS Code” and “Visual Studio Code”, or “edit” (msedit), etc etc

Unironic answer, the “g” is pronounced, but obviously like the g in give or great, not like j.

I haven’t read about this before.

It’s interesting that (judging from the screenshot), they even tried to recreate the Apple menu, which on macOS isn’t a start menu after all; but I do wonder what is the way to start apps in this interface? Did they try to clone macOS in that regard to and do that through the “Finder” (probably Dolphin)?

I post a lot and don’t usually get hateful insults, in fact most of what I post gets no comments at all.

The way I find most things I post is literally just that I repost them from my Mastodon feed.

This is a complex issue and both of the comments above are way oversimplifying it…

Lots of governments around the world are nowadays claiming that their laws apply to all or many websites that can be accessed in their borders. Whether they can enforce this if the website has no physical assets in the country is a very different question. They could arrest their operators when they enter their countries (as happened to Pavel Durov), or they could geoblock websites, or… here are some starting points for further research:

Me neither. Anyone know what advantages or disadvantages it has compared to Shotcut?

I remember reading that Loops (? - may be wrong about which one) does the same thing, only displaying statuses with videos in them. I have not, so far, seen anyone claim that that is a bad thing, and frankly don’t agree that it is. If we can’t do that, then we can never have specialized platforms built on ActivityPub, e.g. platforms only for videos or for photos, etc., and that would severely limit what we can do with it.

The article is from May; has anything important related to this happened in the last few days, or why are you posting this now?

That looks good, I might try it over the weekend. :D Thanks for the effort.

If you come up with one, I might start to use it. I generally like the classic Windows style because the first computer interfaces I ever used looked like that, but nowadays I definitely insist on dark mode.

It isn’t any of my business whether other people use light themes… but IMHO dark themes are just so much easier on the eyes, no matter the surrounding light, that I don’t get why anyone would if they have the option.
