Honestly, I don't really understand the hate that client-side decorations get. I find that they're generally pretty useful and good.
I think a lot of it comes from people who want to 'rice' and theme their desktops but I personally think that dream has sailed. The kind of theming people want on Linux systems is simply not possible without massive amounts of work and downgrades to accessibility, security and usability.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but for clarification, the fact they're drawn by the client actually means they can always be the same across different environments. This is in opposition to server-side decorations which are drawn by the desktop environment and should match the environment as a result. That said, server-side decorations are largely much less extensible than client side ones.
I think we would probably keep applications to allow people who may not have friends that can invite them here. We may be more strict with the answers though.
I, personally would still like to allowlist places which I think are pretty good. Though, ideally I would like one-way federation so beeple can still explore places which don't necessarily meet the standard we set for allowlist.
This will be your only warning. Do not make bad faith comments like this. It's entirely fine to bring new information and to correct people, it is not okay to insult people like this.
Right, I might've been more confused with your previous to last paragraph because using she/her pronoun as 'default' was and is a genuine feminist practice in French where gender neutrality is more difficult.
Anyhow, I would recommend not arguing your points like that - it just kinda smells like bad faith argumentation.
By calling reverse discrimination a far-right trope, I presume you mean complaints about reverse discrimination?
Yes, that would be correct. It's the basis of the Great replacement theory.
announcement reasoning
...no it wasn't?
Your last two paragraphs, especially the last one, feel eerily close to reverse-ism.
"Reverse-ism" usually refers to "reverse discrimination". It's a big trope in far-right circles and ties directly to the "Great replacement" theory.
It's unclear what your intentions were when you said this but it felt weird.
It's worth understanding that "agenda" has a negative connotation. In this context, it's used as a dogwhistle against women and queer people.
Because they hate/don’t want to learn rust and think Java is a superior language
You know, that's not what I've read. It's worth mentioning that it doesn't just use Java.
Bringing this topic back up here in this manner is really inappropriate.
Honestly, I agree. I've cleaned up the thread a bit but it still seems pretty nasty.
I've personally had the opinion that we should go for a more isolationist approach with an allow-list when we move away from Lemmy and into Sublinks. I think it's worth trying.
Personally, I really wish we could have an invite system, I feel like it'd be better than asking a friend to fill a form - that feels a bit rough. It would also encourage word of mouth and organic growth imo. And people tend to have likeminded friends so it would probably help form culture.
As a side note, I think we need some new blood in moderation teams, I think some people have moved on.
Well, you can disable window controls in gnome and KDE afaik if you want. Then you'll only have the various app-specific buttons that are necessary for functionality.
If you're looking for every app to have a vim-like interface or something, well, that seems a bit unrelated to CSDs.
