I’ve gotta be honest, the desktop environment situation on Linux does not impress me.

I’m on Cosmic which is decent, but there are all sorts of silly oversights in KDE and gnome, and windows have weird mixes of styles and toolbar display modes.

Is great that Linux is modular, but seriously gtk vs QT vs whatever else needs a heavy duty cleanup.

These things are completely orthogonal.

No

They’re going up again?

I dropped all of those. I just have a couple services now.

CBC Gem (mostly to support CanCon and local media), one streamer, and I migrated to Qobuz for music.

I’m the spring I’ll go to yard sales for dvds/blu rays. They’re like a dollar there, which is reasonable.

A ton of content I liked is now owned by fascists and Larry Ellison, so I don’t even want to buy new media anymore.

I bet that feels nice

My spoon is too big!

I don’t have any problems with building beautiful things like cathedrals or making art in the name of God

But building oracles and such is gross. The who AI pope question was insane.

But I will have to read that article deeper, that’s an interesting wikipedia link

Remember when God said he didn’t want idols made, then he punished the Jews to wander the desert for 40 years.

This gives those vibes.

It feels plain wrong.

How does that work?

Working with raw buffers and memory in Swift is a frustrating experience.

I’m a big fan of Swift, but when I drop to systems level I don’t feel it’s a good fit.
