Sounds like it, yeah.

Because for the longest time, we lived in tribes. If you got thrown out of your tribe, that was essentially a death sentence.

In my country, it’s pretty much mandatory to take a first-aid course, so hard to conceptualize that, but I do find it attractive when someone’s active in the Red Cross or a volunteer fire department, or heck, actually works in the medical field.

Yeah, I find the similarity most striking with LibreOffice Draw vs. LibreOffice Writer. It very much feels like Draw is just a superset of the features of Writer.

There is certainly some differences, though, e.g. text doesn’t automatically overflow onto new pages, text boxes don’t automatically increase in size, things like that.
Everything is a lot more static, which is great for layout, and less great, if you just need to type out some text.

Nah, I dislike all the other people using Excel. I once saw it used for providing a deployment configuration, which then got parsed from that Excel and pushed into a repo. Like, goddamn, just let me edit the repo directly.

There’s so-called desktop publishing software.

In the open-source world, I typically see Scribus recommended.

Yes? Again, I’m not saying there’s not going to be disagreements or politics, I’m just saying that it’s going to be less loaded than Linux kernel politics.

Yeah, I did read that, admittedly after making my comment, but thanks for pointing it out anyways. 🙂

You don’t need to always be of the same opinion for it to be much less loaded than Linux politics…

There’s Redox OS already headed in that general direction.

There’s also this tutorial: https://os.phil-opp.com

KISS launcher is also good: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/fr.neamar.kiss/

It certainly looks a lot like Helvetica. Probably could be any of these Helvetica clones:

I will also say that it feels a lot like Inter to me, which it’s not as the i-dots aren’t round, but maybe you’ll enjoy that one anyways…

I think what really bothers me about the aesthetics is that the shapes are broken up by the coloration. For example, the pin icon for Google Maps looks almost like a hook, because the yellow has little contrast on this white background.

Uh, well, I kind of already wrote most of what there’s to say in the comment above, it hides your mouse pointer when you don’t move it for a few seconds.

In most distros, it’s available as the unclutter package, directly from the repos. On Debian-based systems, the package you want is called unclutter-xfixes.

It is built for X11 and won’t work on Wayland.
But KDE recently shipped a built-in feature as part of Plasma 6.1 (a Desktop Effect called “Hide Cursor”), which also works very nicely. That one does not cause hover elements to disappear.

lol

Alright, sure.

GitHub is owned by Microsoft. Microsoft has a long history of opposing open-source, like its founder rallying against it before the term even existed, or its former CEO calling it a cancer.

Microsoft is also quite prominently known for a strategy of embracing open standards they don’t like, to kill them off. Particularly, they might be looking to extend and displace Git.

Microsoft also violates the licenses of the open-source projects on GitHub.
As someone publishing open-source software, I do not put the license for fun in there. If I know for a fact that it’s being violated, I will not publish my code. For the same reasons, I also don’t contribute to projects on GitHub.

And last but not least, Microsoft also has a history of violating privacy laws.
Particularly, if your project advertises itself as privacy-centric, like this browser does, then this excludes your users from reporting bugs, discussing the direction of the project or contributing.

> using GitHub

🤮

Sorry dude, I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but I also kind of do, because fuck GitHub.

> using GitHub logo to represent open-source

🤮

Jeez, I feel like I’m getting second-hand asthma just from looking at that photo.

Man, I know US food is …something else, but still, what the hell is this thing?

Apparently, the 5 layers are:

• Beef
• Cheese
• Beans
• Nacho Cheese Sauce
• Sour Cream

A.k.a. 5 times protein for no fucking reason. That’s going to taste like garbage, unless you make it entirely too greasy, too.

I guess, it being called “beefy”, that’s its whole gimmick, but that still doesn’t explain why it exists in the first place. When you could be eating something with a multitude of flavors, which doesn’t sit in your stomach like a brick either, why do you choose just a lump of meat?
