Everyone clapped. Someone handed over a hundred dollar bill. The name of that Bill? (Bill Clinton/Benjamin Franklin/Albert Einstein)

  • Once again, people who pirate the shows end up with a better experience than legit customers. Tale as old as time digital media.

    Be fair, it's not the digital media to blame, it's the DRM/rental business model. The MP3s I buy from bandcamp are perfectly safe alongside my other media.

  • Their profiles only contributions are self promoting their slop app and nothing else. Shameless

    I have an alt where I occasionally make contributions in preparation for my self promotion.

    No slop planned... for now.

  • Swiss pikemen were trained well-enough that they could maintain a wall of pikes while walking, or even at a trot (‘pike charge’, also the name of one of the holding positions for a pike, ‘at charge’). Swiss pikemen would become the last word in European warfare for some 200 years, and their imitators would eventually form the basis of modern professional armies, replacing the ad-hoc retinues of the warrior-caste of European aristocracy.

    Meritocracy ... good?Bullshit nobility... bad?

    My god, with these strategies, I could control the biggest contiguous land empire the world will ever know!

  • I found the happily short-lived windows “metro” interface similarly jarring like you describe, but the gnome equivalent has never caused me any difficulty for some reason.

    That's interesting. what separates the two for you? Because I dislike them both for the same reason. Is it the subtle blur and transparency for gnome?

  • This knight is forking unbelieveable! It's forking everything! The king, the queen, the rook , that knight...

  • Are you just talking about the way the app launcher uses the whole screen?

    yep

    That seems like the silliest thing to care about

    well, I find it jarring. It's my preference/feeling/aesthetic and I'm entitled to it. There are enough ways to do that don't take up the whole screen that my opinion must be fairly common. Macs have spotlight, the start bar that has existed forever, Krunner...

  • (e.g., modern gas pumps require power to operate).

    😂

  • yeah, that's my point

  • what's the original?

  • He's been impeached, twice.

  • the finnish origins of both makes it extra good

  • great work guys, you had one job.

    why fucking even have these bastards if they aren't protecting us from external threats? oh to fuck over social reforms in our own countries and spy on citizens, great work.

  • Ah yes, the USS Entropy

  • Most users come from a Windows background, so they’re used to the “simplicity” of its start menu.

    I think it's that it's jarring to go from "let me add a new thing to what I am doing" to "I need something new. EVERYTHING GO AWAY SO I CAN LOOK AT WHAT I WANT"

  • I went the complete opposite. Hated KDE, loved gnome. Now KDE is my go to.

  • I would be much more interested in gnome if it didn't feel like the offspring of 2010s mac and fisher price.
