  • I’ve been using Gnome for multiple years now and I don’t plan on switching. Also love GOA in general for the simplicity and ease of use.

    However

    I wish there was a generic WebDAV/caldav account type. I know you can integrate those using evolution, but why the extra steps? It seems like such a no-brainer considering there is already Nextcloud integration in place.



  • Linux ist mostly used for servers, where you rarely need/have a graphical environment. A big part of development is making sure to keep the kernel safe and prevent endangering critical infrastructure.

    That said, I agree if Linux is to be adopted more widely as a desktop system, good graphical UI is crucial. It’s just not the focus of most Linux devs.










  • I think you make a great point. It’s easier to make an echo chamber in Mastodon/Twitter, since you mostly encounter people you already know (or are connected to via someone you know).

    Not that echo chambers are impossible on platforms like Lemmy or Reddit, but I feel like the format of Twitter/Mastodon especially encourages it.



  • This person will never commit a sex crime, will never say a racist remark, never do anything controversial.

    But controversy is good, it generates attention. My fear is that the “optimized” artificial celebrity will be exactly that and it will be a whole new level of shitshow. When you think about it, there are already people who maintain “controversial” public personas for that exact reason (not naming any, since I don’t want to give them more attention), so it’s not even that far fetched.
