I wonder if theres a way for us to watch the watchers.

I wonder if Anonymous can dox ice agents.

Trump is a dum dum fart burger who fell in love with kim jong un

Just another day of trump being a dumb bitch.

Niri is awesome, it’s the type of computer interface I’ve always imagined I wanted, let alone a wm. I’ve previously used i3, and then Hyprland, which were both very good, but they always felt a bit restrictive and missing something. I didn’t like how if I open just one app or window, it has to fill the whole screen until I open a second app/window. And it bothered me that I can’t center the left most window if I wanted to. Niri does both things out of the box. If feels very flexible and intuitive.

I’ll be honest, I don’t know if Niri increases my productivity, but it definitely improved my user experience.

In my mind, having windows open at full height and be continuously added to horizontally just makes sense. However, it is also flexible enough where you can tile windows vertically as well.

I like being able to put my personal apps in one workspace, and then all my work apps on the next workspace down. With i3 or hyprland, I need about two for my personal and three or four for my work. I can easily have up to 9 workspaces with regular tiling wm’s, and that gets out of hand in terms of organization and trying to find that one app I needed. With Niri I will use at most 4 workspaces. I think that’s a good amount and works well for me.

I really like the somewhat new Overview function, it works well. Sure it does seems like something obvious to have, but honestly, if Niri didn’t have it, I would still be happy since everything else is pretty much exactly what I wanted.

For me, Linux is about having options. And Niri fits this ideal very well, because you can use Niri in a similar way to regular wm’s and more.

I’m a cheapskate, but Niri is such a good project, I will definitely donate to them. Now I just need to overcome my laziness. :P

I do like Mint, but now I’m thinking Bazzite might be better for a beginner or average user because all those configurations and default apps/packages meant to make gaming easier also trickles down to having things “just work” for a casual average PC user. 🤔

Awesome! I’ve been wanting XFCE on wayland. Although I love using Niri, there may be some cases where I want to use a DE, and I would prefer a lightweight one. XFCE being stuck on x11 kinda kept me away from it. In some ways it doesn’t matter, but it would be nice to go wayland.

KDE and Cinnamon are both great, but I will always prefer something lightweight and snappy.

wow, didn’t expect that from france. I thought they, of all countries, would be less prudish than Texas about porn. 😬

Open source and proprietary software development have very different goals. Open source is generally about making software that’s useful. Proprietary software’s goal is to make money by any means necessary. Viewing it from that angle, open source devs and the community are more motivated to keep an eye out for backdoors. While proprietary software, they won’t give a fuck until something affects their bottom line. Just because of that, I feel safer using open source software in general.

elon is the dumbest “genius” ever 🤦‍♂️

I mean… what could go wrong? spoiler: EVERYTHING

oh gawd, that. glad I didn’t pull over near an acorn tree 😬

I was driving home from LA with a friend. While on the freeway, in the middle of nowhere, and no cars near us, we hear a noise like a hand knocking on the driver side backseat window. There was only the two of us sitting in the front, and there was nothing in the back seats. We confirmed with each other that we both heard the noise, and that it was strange. I was very curious, and it was daytime, so I pulled over to the side to check things out. Nothing. Even a highway patrol officer stop by to check up on us. (Don’t worry, we didn’t get shot, even though we were non-white, it was a less divided time back then).

To this day, I cannot even imagine what could have made that knocking sound on the window. 😬

😮‍

I wonder how hard it is to gather private info on Palantir CEO and upper management 🤔

🤦‍♂️

Come on in, the water is warm.

Agree. Lemmy doesn’t need to have as many users as other platforms to be good.

If ppl can’t understand what’s so good about Lemmy then they are just suckers who deserve to be taken advantage of by corporations.

It’s shitty ass hats like zuck that makes me appreciate Lemmy even more. Its the right amount of social media for me.
