Maybe. In any case I try to never infer someone’s tone from text interactions since it’s always faulty and lacks human dimension. By default I just assume people actually mean what they write. I think we get (on average) more aggressive, and tend to show less empathy when not talking face to face.

Also… The term “American left-wing” is offensive for a Marxist like myself. :D

Guys, guys… You’re over-ideologizing a very simple humane request. I was asked nicely and respectfully – I tried to respond in the same way. Simple as that. I’m usually not regulating my personal communications with others in terms of laws and amendments.

same here (except it’s waybar in my case) ( :

i really apologize if the use of that word was perceived as offensive, that was obviously not my intent. i’m usually quite straightforward in picking words (i come from a completely different culture, where sexual assaults are extremely uncommon).

PS. for the context of others reading this comment, the original title of this post was: “nmtui that does not rape your eyes.”

for comparison, here’s the default

In the old days laptops were rare and accessible only to selected few. The others in the background were just admiring the flawless handwork the arch user is displaying with the command line.

from someone’s … posterior? … latter end? … tuchus? arse is a bit more descriptive, eh?

How much do you think I earn to afford paying for Office or Adobe? :) i’ve never paid for any of those, even though I’ve been using Adobe since CS5.

As for donating: i agree, for now i sometimes help in contributing to the codebase in a bit smaller apps i actually can fix things in.

I used WPS, it was worse than Libre from the usability, plus quite bloated with all sorts of stuff (luckily, I don’t have to pay for the Office, and will never actually do that willingly). Haven’t used the other two, however, will have a look, thanks!

Both GIMP and Krita are very nice and decent, just not powerful enough for many things I need photoshop for. Inkscape is actually much closer to Illustrator (not as powerful, but still), so that might be the only one with the “getting used to it” issue.

Actually, one other thing I should have mentioned, is that I also transited from using Premiere Pro to Kdenlive (and sometimes even Blender for very light video editing). Kdenlive is an amazing success story for KDE, hope that happens to Krita as well.

PS. The name GIMP sounds amazing! Love it, they should never change it )

A free-falling observer lives in a locally Minkowskian space-time, so feels no such thing. So I like my metric flat.

agree, yes, especially the ProtonDrive configured through rsync: i really need it to be reliable, since i often travel and absolutely need my documents synced automatically with my PC. even in the early versions of ProtonDrive windows/mac app, it was often not syncing, and i would find myself on the road need to download a few gigs worth of slides and pdfs.

totally understand it. it took me about a full day to setup everything the way i liked (i’m also quite picky when it comes to usability), but honestly the next time i do it, i can probably do it in a couple of hours, since i now know all the ins and outs.

arse!

like i mentioned above in the comment, i really meant to say OnlyOffice (but i also tried Libre, and a bunch of others)

I very much hope so too!!! i made myself to drift away from the Fusion 360 (they just took it a step further by moving a lot of stuff to the cloud) towards the FreeCad, and am enjoying its capabilities ever since. hope the same happens to GIMP. and it’s not about getting used to it after Photoshop, it just really lacks some of the basic functionality i absolutely need.

unfortunately, it’s a product of imagination of an overpowered progenitor of our future overlords, otherwise known as GPT-4. and apparently, it still does not want to produce 16x10 images (that is, unless you give it a sacrifice in the form of monthly subscriptions). but feel free to use the image for whatever purposes )

sorry, i really meant OnlyOffice. though i tried LibreOffice as well, you can see my breakdown in this post

Out of curiosity, how did you piss before?

lying on my back like all normal people

Do Gentoo next, and good work!

was planning Nix to understand the whole reproducible build idea, but Gentoo is a good suggestion too! will try that
