You really like metaphors.

No, I pretty much only look at the number of contributors (more is better)

Hello vegan, I’m dad.

I just can’t get into them… I like being able to tile windows when I want to, but I find them too complicated to use. I like how Plasma already contains everything I need and I never have any problems with it. Personally I find the best implementation of tiling is in PopOS where you use a shortcut to activate and deactivate it. It’s really the best of both worlds!

Depending on the use case you might want to narrow this down by how many are compatible with your needs. Stripe’s API for example is extremely versatile.

It isn’t the snapping I was referring to, but the ability to make a window span multiple areas. In KDE the window can only snap into a single area.

It does, but in Plasma you can only snap a window to a single area. With FancyZones you can create a more detailed grid and hold a modifier key to make the window span multiple areas, so it’s much more flexible than the fixed layout of KDE. For example you can make a 4x4 grid and choose to span a window across 4x1 or 1x4. That’s impossible in Plasma (for now).

Yeah, but then I’d be using Gnome.

I miss the window tiling one. Its ability to span multiple “areas” with a window by holding a modifier key is something I sorely wish KDE’s tiling had.

Edit: FancyZones! Finally remembered the name.

Sounds pretty rapey to me.

Zoxide is nice, or use Yazi so you can actually see where you’re going.

To me, Lua will always be the WoW plugin language.

This is like me when I try to use my wife’s iPhone. Where are the buttons? How do I exit the app?

I think I’m using Iosevka in the terminal at the moment, although it’s maybe a bit too narrow for my tastes. For GUI I use San Francisco Pro (Apple font)

Edit: now trying Plex Mono in the terminal and I like it. It feels more like a “normal” font.

If they do achieve decentralization in the future I’ll gladly call it decentralized, but “tangible plans” don’t warrant use of a descriptor like that. If someone is training in the hope of making their country’s Olympics team they don’t get to call themselves an Olympian. You have to have gone to the Olympics to justify that title. Working towards decentralization is the same thing. You don’t get to call yourself decentralized just because you wrote it down as a goal on your roadmap.

I don’t think that it’s accurate to say that bluesky is “completely” centralized (it is less centralized than most social media) as much as it’s de-facto centralized.

That’s like me calling myself a millionaire because I could theoretically be one at some point in the future. I am de facto not a millionaire, but I also have more than zero dollars. so I’m not completely a non-millionaire.

Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.

Oh yeah? I can join that second server right now and communicate with folks on the main server?

I stopped reading when the “journalist” asked this question:

How did you end up starting a decentralized social platform?

How little research must one do to credulously repeat that PR talking point for a platform that is in fact completely centralized?

That’s way, way more time and effort than I’m willing to waste on getting my computer up and running, and I still fail to see any real benefit over copying my Arch home folder and reinstalling what I need from Pacman/AUR. If I had to set up dozens of computers at a time then yes, absolutely, Nix would be perfect!
