I only have experience with Gnome out of the two but I haven’t had the urge to switch yet. I like the look of it (I like that it looks different to Windows), the simplicity and the customisation with extensions (only a few and small ones, I recently started using OpenBar for some customization but I could do without). I keep my system rather minimal and I am not looking to put a lot of time into theming or customization.

I also tried Cosmic and I like the tiling aspect of it, but I also don’t feel the need to switch. Maybe once it is released and I can figure out how to install it on Aeon.

Instead of complaining can someone who dislikes this decision please just create a community like “AskLemmyUS”, post a link here so people can find it and get on with it?

By giving people the opportunity to host their own instances and create their own communities with rules they like. This however does not mean that everything should be allowed everywhere. Actually this means that everywhere you go people make their own rules and if you dont like them, go somewhere else or create your own community.

Honestly this is probably how I subconciously felt on reddit for maybe a few years before I left. In all the slightly larger subreddits you could mostly predict how the comment section would look like. Mostly the same jokes and the same answers. The best posts also felt like they were made by people who put in a lot of time to figure out how to get to the frontpage and once you yourself made a post it would mostly be removed for some reason or buried. On Lemmy it is also much easier to see other opinions that are not directly downvoted into oblivion but rather discussed and as long as the person does not behave like an idiot the discussion is interesting.

Evince (the standard GNOME pdf reader) has night mode that you can toggle with “Ctrl + i” by default.

Do you feel like you could use coding in your daily business or is it just an interest you would like to pursue?

Mont-Saint-Michel definitely was a special place. Already driving up to it and seeing it from a distance was surreal and then walking through this tightly packed place seemingly in the middle of the sea is unlike anything else.

I was very active on Reddit for a long time but for some reason I also don’t miss it. I think it’s because the big subreddits felt “too big” for quite some time before and even in the smaller subreddits there was often too much unnecessary negativity.

What are those shortcomings?

Probably Zdzisław Beksiński. Not because he paints nice things to look at but rather he paints things that some may call horrible in a very interesting way. I kind of think it makes me appreciated life in a way since it could be so much worse, but I’m not sure if this really describes why I like him. I think this is a collection of most of his paintings

Edit: For nice things to look at I recently took a closer look at Caspar David Friedrichs Landscape paintings.

With that username I totally believe you wish for nothing more.

I do the same when wiping my phone. Some time ago I wiped it carfully and suddenly all the colors changed until i tapped the screen again.

I also try to get along with a small amount of software and I also mainly stick with default configurations. It is a great feeling when setting up a new PC or a device that there is little need to install a bunch of software and mess with a lot of configurations just to get my learned workflow up and running. Therefore there also isn’t really a need to follow new software releases.

I guess it could be that it’s easier to build. You have a tower that only gives structural support and you have a gondola that only deals with all the rotation. In general it is difficult to have something that rotates and also carries a large load. And the rotating gondola technology is a solved problem. Plus you have a large rotor area that is always facing the wind instead of half your blade area going opposite to the wind. These are just guesses though.

I use the progressive web app version and it’s all I need. the only thing i dont like is that you can no longer pull down on a post to refresh the comments. some time ago this worked but it doesn’t anymore.

I feel like consuming any “performance enhancing” substance on a regular basis just leads to needing more and more of it for the same effect. So it would probably be better to use it for “special occasions” where you definitely need the effect. But I have no idea if this is actually how all that works.

it’s definitely harder than it may seem in videos. but I’ve seen people getting the hang of it in a few sessions in the sim. I’d say it you’re okay at flying in the simulator and close to actually buying a real done you could get FPV goggles and practice some more with them. it all depends on how determined you are too get into the hobby.

If you’re new to FPV flying and unsure I can recommend getting the controller first and practicing in a simulator. it will save you a lot of money since your first crashes won’t cost anything.

maybe your taste buds are just different to most people and much more sensitive to onion flavor

Oh, that’s a great idea. I’l probably build this even if I never get the house with the landing strip.
