- Comment on Plasma 6.5 is out! Look forward to lots cool stuff 2 days ago:
I never said it wasn’t a counterpoint, I never said it was wrong, I was just responding to your feeling that it’s cluttered and unfocused. Those are the very aspects that make me enjoy it and are the reason I don’t really like gnome. Focused only works if you happen to agree with the focus that was chosen and I’m very glad that the chosen one of gnome works for you.
But that freedom flexibility that comes with the unfocused nature of plasma is exactly what makes me love it. You are correct that it is absolutely attempting to cater to Windows users in its default configuration the idea is for it to be a simple close to Windows default so that they can more easily acclimate themselves to a different operating system. It’s why it’s so often recommended to people who are switching trying to put them on gnome where literally nothing works like what they are used to is setting them up for failure in many cases.
But it then also gives you the power to customize once you are more comfortable to the point that you can just basically practically make a gnome workflow clone if you wanted. Or OSX, tiled, whatever you want really. But it is true that that means there’s no really unified workflow within plasma so I can see how it looks cluttered and unfocused

You really can’t glean the information just by looking at it if you’ve literally never seen one before in your life. It’s hard to Envision if you’re just used to it, like I said I was a little slow to read it but I still know how I’m just not used to it so it’s no longer instant . But I also can understand that if you’ve literally never seen one in your life and never had it mentioned to you you would really have no way to know what the difference between the big or the small hand was.
Now if you did sit and stare at it for long enough you could eventually figure it out as the hands moved but most people aren’t going to sit there and stare at a clock for 10min to try and figure it out.
At the end of the day even mundane things can be a skill, and I do agree that there is a substantial lack of critical thinking as the generations go on it was a problem already in my generation much less these latest ones. All That No Child Left Behind and standardized testing crap really destroyed schools hard it went from critical thinking to just memorize the answer or skip the question if you don’t know, asking questions became bad and unfortunately that’s going to follow you into adulthood

There is many reasons it happened but not being able to read analog clocks was not one of them. I’m sorry that it upsets you so much that I don’t agree but I feel like there’s a better way to express it than what you chose.
- Comment on Better safe than sorry 2 days ago:
I genuinely don’t know where I would even find an analog clock anymore outside of school and I haven’t been in school for more than 20 years. genuinely do not remember the last time I’ve seen an analog clock, and I work in a lot of public government offices who are usually pretty far behind the times but even they use digital clocks. to the point that I just went to look had a picture of one and it actually takes me a second to read now.
I don’t understand why people are so obsessed on holding on to knowledge that is not relevant to your daily life, digital clocks are objectively better at the task of telling the time and it’s what exists everywhere in life now I don’t really fault anyone for not being able to read an analog.

Gnome is either a you love it as it is or you just hate it there is no in between because there’s no customizability. I love KDE plasma because of all its million options that usually put gnome users off. I don’t want my desktop to be exactly like everyone else’s I have a particular way I want things laid out a particular spot I want options particular things I want shown particular things I don’t want shown.
The lack of notification app tray on gnome alone puts me off, the full screen app drawer is another. I don’t want that on my desktop it’s not a tablet. I don’t find it enjoyable to use on my large desktop screen with a mouse.
On KDE, if I don’t like something with the default configuration there’s a 95% chance that I can change it to something that I would like. On gnome i get to either pound sand or install an extension that will probably break on the next update.
And that’s fine we don’t have to agree with one another that’s the glory of Linux and user choice
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 5 days ago:
The heck are you talking about. My tuft and needle mint WITH the added cost of extra pillows and a sheet set wasn’t even a full $2000 it’s one of the best mattresses I’ve ever seen in my life I’ve had it for like 5 years now and there’s still zero indication of any type of settling or imprinting on the foam, it’s the perfect mix of firm supportive but comfortable and shape fitting. And every time I’ve seen a bed more expensive than that it’s felt terrible and basically just been about buying the brand name or some stupid exotic material it’s made of
- Comment on Rent A Girlfriend Season 5 Announced 4 weeks ago:
That seems to be the trend in the industry a lot for some reason at the moment. The shows that are just like complete garbage are getting season after season and the actual good shows that practically everyone is begging for another season of just die quietly.
- Comment on Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency 1 month ago:
Anyone who genuinely thought that privacy was going to be perfect was an idiot. But they’re going to be better than Gmail and they are. The only way to achieve any type of true privacy would be to start up your own Data Center , run your own email , and then be the one that’s dealing with the government knocking on your door. Have fun with that.
Put frankly privacy on the internet does not exist and anyone that thinks it’s achievable on the modern internet is honestly an idiot. We can only select the least shitty option there is no good option. And the problem is even that is a moving Target I’m not going to keep changing my email provider every couple years to whatever the new current popular privacy option is.

- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 5 months ago:
There is a single standard with no forks, I said not a single one followed. I run my own Matrix Home Server and use it frequently, there are a lot of different clients and there are a good number of them that do run their own features that are not exactly in Spec because one does not yet exist in the official spec. Stickers used to be a good example of that I remember when there were like three different clients Each of which implemented them in a different weird way until the spec finally landed on an implementation.
And even within this back there are some basic features not supported on certain clients and other such problems. I’m just saying it’s not an alternative to Discord and it will never be mainstream because it’s too confusing and frustrating from the perspective of a standard user.
Same concept that made bluesky get popular over mastodon, trying to find anything on Mastodon of interest is a chore because there’s no real Central spot to do everything the very nature of it is that it’s scattered to the winds, there’s also multiple apps available for Mobile on Mastodon Each of which have different layouts, different features, and normal people that just want to be able to find their topic of Interest can’t be bothered to deal with that

Aaaaand this touches on the problem with matrix in general, no standard is properly followed, way too many forks with feature support all over the place
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 5 months ago:
Well, once the service becomes large and popular we could try to find people interested in investing into the platform, then we just need to make sure it stays interesting to more and more investors over time. Should be sustainable, sounds oddly familiar tho but i definitely just made it up rn on my own

It does! It’s worthless! (งツ)ว
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 6 months ago:
It’s not just you, there’s been a lot of threads on let me talking about it but the problem with Mastodon is the fact that there is no content recommendation algorithm. You basically just get shown stuff from your local instance and maybe stuff it’s Federated with. Which is pretty much guaranteed to be a bunch of useless garbage nobody is interested in and random cat pictures.
Bluesky is not perfect, but it’s better than X and i can actually find content i want. I’ve tried so many times to Mastodon and it’s just not worth it. Finding content is a huge effort and i don’t want to put that effort in.
Blue Sky learned very quickly that I’m interested in artists content and now when I open it I find at least one new artist to follow each day so I can just open it scroll through the people I’m following look at the Discover tab to find a new one whose art I like and feel better that’s just not going to happen on Mastodon
- Comment on Help interpreting benchmark results 6 months ago:
I’ll poke around, it’s an elegoo resin and if I’m not mistaken they at least offer some recommended setting changes somewhere on the website for their resins
- Comment on Help interpreting benchmark results 6 months ago:
That’s a fair point, the date on the bottle says it should be good for another year apparently but it wouldn’t hurt to get a fresh bottle just to be safe. It does look like I would need to fuck with the exposure time regardless since it’s a bright white resin it appears to need longer exposure. I also have a clear resin which apparently needs even more exposure.
At the very least I know I have good build plate adhesion because God damn some of these have been difficult to get off I actually slightly scratched my build plate in one spot a little bit getting some of them off I need to be more careful and use the plastic spatula not the metal one
- Comment on Help interpreting benchmark results 6 months ago:
I used the default provided, but that’s a good guess I’ll give it a little extra distance and maybe add a little extra wait time after retraction to see if that helps
- Comment on Help interpreting benchmark results 6 months ago:
The resin was from when I bought the printer. was shaken, and poured in with the included filter funnel, it didn’t seem to be having any issues mixing, tho it is an “abs like” white resin so maybe i need higher exposure time? I’ll check the elegoo site it’s one of their resins i know some of them have setting recommendations.
Thanks for the link I’ll give cone of calibration a try and see where i can get with that

- Comment on Good Self hosted MDM? 6 months ago:
One of the documentation is mostly useless ones. Maybe I’m blind but i searched for 5min to try and find any instructions at all for their official docker image and found nothing. Seems they only want you using the cloud now even if you self host as i can only find aws or render documentation.
Guess i can try to muck through the docker without instructions and hope it’s simple enough without any gotcha steps.
