I don’t use gnome and after switching to hyperland prefer not to have my compositor draw anything other than windows, so I can understand where you’re coming from, but for gnome i’d want to keep it, namely cause its used for:

• System controls including power/logout are there as well as switching audio devices through an extension.
• clock
• system indicators (what else are you going to do about applications that unmap their window on close, like discord?)

Never used this feature. I think this sort of QOL feature is something I’d be happy to wait on. The ecosystem doesn’t need this to launch at least imo.

Running the app directly through steam/ the freedesktop launcher steam makes should work without internet access

I love hyprland and even anime but having waifus prebuilt into the compositor installation is too much.

Anything I can do through my banking app I could just as email do through the browser

How many things to you really use your phone for anyway.

Personally all I need is the basic things like a camera app, maps, authenticator, web browser, pdf reader, note taker, clock, etc.

It’s really not that much

Yea I mean it’s possible, but the sooner you bite the bullet and use a more modern language, the sooner you’ll get back to the same level of maturity and start having productivity dividends being paid out thanks to things like being able to get your compiler to prevent use after free bugs and the like.

Not sure how much sudo specifically needs this, maybe new commits are rare. As long as it stays out of LTS for the time being I’m all for it though.

Also not quite sure what you mean by “footprint”

Are you talking about the binary size or the fact that C has a tiny and straightforward language spec?

I don’t think it’s required for any titles.

Would still be nice if they’d allow you to run games without the launcher open (assuming you use it to install them) though.

None ive ever purchased have been drm/launcher free. Even binding of Isaac and terraria need that bloated garbage excuse for a launcher open to run.

For sure. Unfortunately PC gamers wille at that shit right up without a moment’s hesitation. Just look at how popular steam is.

Most of my work in DevOps isn’t in front of my text editor writing scripts. It’s spent hopping between dashboards, drafting emails, doing RCA, teaching dev team members how to use pipelines, and getting requirements from them for designing new pipelines. Then inevitably debating with them about design considerations when they ask for a set of procedures that won’t pan out.

Until your AI is a fully fledged team member who everyone can feel comfortable engaging with as if they were a real human, you cannot possibly begin to automate this.

I speak Japanese. You clearly do not. Edit: “no less unusual” is admittedly a slight overstatement. It is slightly more permissible to speak in third person in Japanese. Nevertheless it is false to say people GENERALLY talk in third person.

It’s also noteworthy that japanese people typically refer to themselves by their name,

Talking in third person in Japanese is no less unusual than doing so in English

If they manage to find work outside of Vancouver/the GTA/Ottawa I say go for it. We have loads of developing cities that could benefit from immigration.

Nah, this is every parent ever.

No debate there but I don’t think you can extend that truth into suggesting that everyone could just as easily be fulfilled if they just “focus their energy on other aspects of their lives”.

Wtf no your 9-5 (or in your case im guessing much longer) isn’t a replacement for a relationship.

If you’re somehow able to do nothing but work and self improvement all day and be satisfied with just that in your life then good for you but don’t assume everyone can just adapt to that mindset.

Humans are not evolved to find intimacy so irrelevant.

I don’t have any book recommendations but I can’t help but feel like the entire approach you’re trying to take might be too over generalized and you’re better off trying to approach each problematic social encounter one by one.

If for example you have family who’s down on their luck and trying to move into your living space despite you not wanting that, you need to consider what their other options are for living alone and if that would result in a quality of life you would be able to accept yourself, and weigh that against your own expectations for how the living situation would pan out in your mind.

Stuff like that family member’s previous behaviour, ability to show gratitude and value you equivalently, the degree to which they are responsible for their current living circumstances, etc, are all important to consider. This is nothing generalized advice about “boundaries” could possibly help with imo.

If on the other hand you’re a woman and have issues with men hitting on you at work, you have a completely different set of considerations you must make, with virtually no overlap with the previous example.

Speaking of boundaries it looks like you need to be able to follow some yourself. This is not your opportunity to proselytize your beliefs.

Sorry but sitting down and observing your thoughts, or trying to concentrate your thoughts on something non stimulating is the next “religion”?

What exactly are you on about?
