  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • It's doing alright. The heat is a drain on my spirit but it's cooling down in the next few days.

    I hope to continue working on my big project but the finishing part is a bit demotivating. It's harder to finish something than beginning as they say.

  • I appreciate the offer but the text is all in French so most online friends can't read it which is part of the issue 😓

  • Honestly, I feel pretty discouraged to work on my book about the history of my student union. I fear that it will fall on deaf ears and I feel that no one really cares about it. It's a pretty long project as well.

    Otherwise, I'm glad that my session is over. I'm still looking for a job though.

  • Pocket is Saying Goodbye: What You Need to Know | Pocket Help

  • That's pretty unfortunate. I think Pocket was probably one of the best services that Mozilla offered (outside of Pocket). I find it worrisome if Pocket was not a profitable avenue for them.

    I used it for a while as my read-it-later but it ended up being too expensive for the usage I made of it.

    I'm pretty worried about Mozilla as a whole. I feel that none of the projects I remember in the past 15 years have actually worked out. Pocket, CommonVoice, Servo, Mozilla Location Services.. It's a shame, really.

    I hope for them that Relay and VPN still manage to work out though I've never really been interested in either unfortunately.

  • GTK Apps might come to Android

    Jump

  • Well, you can disable window controls in gnome and KDE afaik if you want. Then you'll only have the various app-specific buttons that are necessary for functionality.

    If you're looking for every app to have a vim-like interface or something, well, that seems a bit unrelated to CSDs.

  • Honestly, I don't really understand the hate that client-side decorations get. I find that they're generally pretty useful and good.

    I think a lot of it comes from people who want to 'rice' and theme their desktops but I personally think that dream has sailed. The kind of theming people want on Linux systems is simply not possible without massive amounts of work and downgrades to accessibility, security and usability.

  • GTK Apps might come to Android

    Jump

  • Maybe I'm misunderstanding but for clarification, the fact they're drawn by the client actually means they can always be the same across different environments. This is in opposition to server-side decorations which are drawn by the desktop environment and should match the environment as a result. That said, server-side decorations are largely much less extensible than client side ones.

  • This will be your only warning. Do not make bad faith comments like this. It's entirely fine to bring new information and to correct people, it is not okay to insult people like this.

  • Right, I might've been more confused with your previous to last paragraph because using she/her pronoun as 'default' was and is a genuine feminist practice in French where gender neutrality is more difficult.

    Anyhow, I would recommend not arguing your points like that - it just kinda smells like bad faith argumentation.

    By calling reverse discrimination a far-right trope, I presume you mean complaints about reverse discrimination?

    Yes, that would be correct. It's the basis of the Great replacement theory.

    Jump

  • Your last two paragraphs, especially the last one, feel eerily close to reverse-ism.

    "Reverse-ism" usually refers to "reverse discrimination". It's a big trope in far-right circles and ties directly to the "Great replacement" theory.

    It's unclear what your intentions were when you said this but it felt weird.

  • It's worth understanding that "agenda" has a negative connotation. In this context, it's used as a dogwhistle against women and queer people.

  • Because they hate/don’t want to learn rust and think Java is a superior language

    You know, that's not what I've read. It's worth mentioning that it doesn't just use Java.

  • I explicitly chose that term because it’s not considered subjective by anyone, but especially not by the people who think gender-neutrality is somehow NOT political.

    All words are subjective. "Non-technical" is not really the magic word you think it is. Could you clearly define it? I can't personally.

  • Do you think they’d stop being bad people if they couldn’t make an honest living? Would it be better or worse if they were on the street? Do you think they might resort to criminality also?

    I don't think anyone deserves living in the street. I don't think they will stop being bad people whether or not I support them. It seems you're trying to move the goal post.

    Do you feel better knowing they aren’t getting your money? Even at the cost of them ever doing anything good for anyone?

    I feel better that they aren't getting my money because they cannot be empowered to hurt the people I care about. I think they can do good things without my support. This seems like a weird thing to say.

    Also, this is clearly sealioning. It's really not a good way to make conversation.

  • I mean, to be fair, Skia appears to be good - Firefox and LibreOffice also use it for example. I believe GNOME Web will also use Skia in GNOME 47. It certainly seems that people are moving away from Cairo and into Skia. For what reason? I don't know.

  • I don't support bad people. Those bad people can change and become good people. Until then, why would I support and pay those that hurt my friends?

  • What I got was that there would be no Google or Mozilla specific code/libraries, but FOSS libraries for common media formats would be included so that the project can reach a wider audience.

    AFAIK They use Skia, the rendering library made by Google so this does not appear true either.
