    • VRR is finally in but experimental, and will need to refactor the explicit sync codebase when that’s merged in…so we’re 4 years away from usable?
    • Fractional scaling still experimental, after 4 years, so terrible experience for people with 4K displays
    • Still no UI menu to alphabetize apps automatically
    • Still no proper kstatusnotifier solution, so people will still install that extension
    • Still no auto-hide for Dash, back to using dash-to-dock
    • Breakage for extensions AGAIN

    Garbage project by garbage devs, backed by a garbage corporate sponsor (IBM). Expect a garbage experience, thanks for nothing Guh-nome. Thank goodness for KDE and the Plasma project, which has UI solutions for all of the above and much MUCH more to make a cohesive well functioning DE with sane UX.



  • I view the “take my ball and leave” talk as gaslighting. The rich are rich thanks to infrastructure we fund on a public basis. Roads, police, fire departments, and the very function of society is something we all collectively fund that they benefit from. I wish them all the luck in the world going to some third party totalitarian shithole with minefields, far more broken roads than we have, and warlords.

    Have fun, fuckheads, please leave and don’t let the door hit you in the ass. That’s my response to any talk about uprooting.


  • When you have that much money, there’s not really much society can do to touch you.

    We’ve confronted robber barons before, and then stuff like the Sherman Anti Trust act happened. If we can collectively gain the resolve, society can absolutely touch these motherfuckers. We arguably had even worse politicians back in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, and after some serious incidents it became a politically charged enough issue to overhaul Congress and the Senate.
