Definitely an inconvenient thing.

Funny. I didn't know a single thing about the person. But that commit message made me like him more.

Ofc assuming he was just making a light-hearted joke in it.

Depends on the license I suppose.

Most of the issue is that they're unreliable. Sometimes the app will work. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you have to fiddle blindly with flatseal settings, which ones? Who knows? Guessing is part of the fun.

It'd be a great thing if it just worked.

Is not using Adobe a realistic option in professional settings atm?

Just go on Khan academy and do a lesson a day. It will take time(years) but you'll learn.

Nah, I wanna hear about bugs that have affected you that you can confirm are bugs :-)

I'm glad you asked. 5 seconds ago gnome froze and sent me back into the login screen and closed all the apps I had open. Ask me again in 20 seconds and I'm sure I'll have a different bug for ya.

Do you want a link to a bugtracker or what.

I can forgive the lack of support. That comes with time and adoption.

What makes it bad for me is how buggy every single DE is.

I'd never admit it irl or to anyone I know because it's petty. But it bothers me when cs people refer to themselves as engineers.

Referring to themselves as scientists would seriously be a step past that.

Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail? (lemmy.ml)

As simple as the title sounds I'm having huge trouble getting that working.

Thunderbird only fetches new mail while it's open.

Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.

Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?

edit. Also, somewhat related, is there a good looking, simple e-mail client? Thunderbird looks busy. Geary kinda looks okay but I cant get it to work at all.

Is there a way to automatically turn on reader view mode for all websites that support it? (lemmy.ml)
 

I end up manually clicking to turn it on anyway every time. Would love to automate it.

So, on pronouns. (lemmy.ml)

I have a few questions on how to best behave to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible without sounding bad. I hope you guys don't hate me.

I'm just a straight male. Are my pronouns he/him? Is that how I should tell people? Do you actually tell them as you meet them ? Do I have to wait for a certain social cue ?

How about online. Should I tell people or have it on my personal profile somewhere?

And about respecting other people's pronouns. How do i figure them out ? Is it a big faux pas if I don't before I know them ? Is it a faux pas if I refer to someone I just met and I assumed to be male as he/him?

I've never seen anyone referring to anyone irl by non conventional pronouns. Is it an actual thing or is it currently being pushed to make the world a more inclusive place?

I'd love some help with all of this.

Scrolling smoothness (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi I absolutely love the UI and how straight forward the app is.

But scrolling seems very choppy compared to sync on a pixel 7. Am I doing something wrong ? It's very very noticeable when scrolling throughout the main feed.

I usually trust my distro repos without checking. Can the same be applied to flathub without much worry?

Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow? (lemmy.ml)

I gave it a fair shot for about a year, using vanilla GNOME with no extensions. While I eventually became somewhat proficient, it's just not good.

Switching between a few workspaces looks cool, but once you have 10+ programs open, it becomes an unmanageable hell that requires memorizing which workspace each application is in and which hotkey you have each application set to.

How is this better than simply having icons on the taskbar? By the way, the taskbar still exists in GNOME! It's just empty and seems to take up space at the top for no apparent reason other than displaying the time.

Did I do something wrong? Is it meant for you to only ever have a couple applications open?

I'd love to hear from people that use it and thrive in it.
