Bud theres obviously exceptions for massive suites like that. But I’m talking about apps with built in UIs that the dev clearly threw together as a last minute thought. Apps with every single thing you could possibly have to do either burried deep in 10k submenus, or hastily packed onto a window.

All I’m saying is there should be a clear and obvious workflow. Devs shouldn’t be afraid to say “I know better than you, do it this way”. Throwing every single tool on a toolbar like with Office suites or editing suites is awful IMO. Gimme menus, but gimme menus that make sense (looking at you Microsoft)

Anyway, you can disagree with me, and it won’t ever effect you, that’s the beautiful thing about the open software world. My opinions can be total shit, and you get to just ignore them 🥰

Sorry for rambling, I’m losing my mind a little bit more every day 🫡

A lot of devs don’t put much work into planning the flow of their GUI from a user’s perspective and it really shows.

IMHO a UI should offer everything a user can do in a given moment, readily available, nothing hidden behind more than a single menu. If something isn’t currently possible, it shouldn’t be available, and if the dev chooses to make the option visible but unavailable, it should be clearly and visibly marked as something that can be available (grayed out text for example).

I think devs tend to overestimate both the skill of the user, and the usefulness of their UI.

Burner sim won’t help, you need a burner phone too.

CSS is for StyleSheets (so yes layout and font but also more). Adding these features allows for more reactive/responsive styles where the style may be behaviorally defined instead of hardcoding styles.

Basically the only thing I can think of to do with it is some kind of reactive layout that crunches some data and responds to it. IDK, I’m not a web dev and try to avoid CSS when I can.

If Cory Doctorow’s talk on Post US tech is accurate I suspect users may be able to take quite a bit of control back from corpos soon enough.

Nothing. Lunduke hates it because woke. His fanboys hate it because sheep.

How are we meant to have these conversations if people keep complaining about the personification of LLMs without offering alternative phrasing? Showing up and complaining without offering a solution is just that, complaining. Do something about it. What do YOU think we should call the active context a model has access to without personifying it or overtechnicalizing the phrasing and rendering it useless to laymen, @[email protected]?

Oooh what do you use for recoloring web pages?

Straight to the void where it belongs

What is your problem with it? Just seems like an accessability feature to me. The one issue I see with it is folks who don’t need it using it in lieu of walkthroughs and wasting energy. I don’t expect that to be that big an issue though, generally people buy games because they want to play them.

Lite Mode, Dark Mode?

Am I the only one using custom theming in their IDE? It’s like, what if gruvbox lite was green instead of orange. Green is calming, makes me feel like I’m in nature. Become one with the bugs and encourage them gently to leave your code alone.

I usually just shonen anime fight scene scream ‘caaaAAAaaat’ from accross the room to get their attention.

I’m just going Based on the man page I linked. s isn’t listed as a subflag of S so i’ve never thought to use it.

I just checked that again and I’m totally wrong. Disregard me I guess.

Any time I’ve ever used pacman to kill my system, it was my fault, usually because I either didn’t read the news and missed a manual intervention, or because I didn’t read the instructions before doing something. Don’t play fast and loose with root.

Actually tbh, pacman has saved my installations in a chroot environment more than a few times

I’ve been trying to decipher this for a literal day what does this mean?

You wouldn’t do that, its improper syntax. You’d do #pacman -Qs, Query local packages -> Search from within this set.

I love paru, but I think my favorite thing about it is that it isn’t yay.

Back when i started using Arch Yay was mega popular so I tried it. Its great, I loved it, shouldn’t be a surprise I love paru too. But Yay was always my only Go app, so I’d end up installing Golag, which is gigantic, just to use yay.

They S is for Sync. You’re syncing a package from the repos.

What’s wrong with pacman? I love pacman!
