As a long-time XFCE-user I can fully subscribe to the conclusion of this article: »non-GNOME GTK desktop environments need to work together to formulate an answer to the onslaught of libadwaita and the GNOME-ification of GTK. […] If they don’t, there won’t be an XFCE in a few years. What’s the point in developing XFCE if you’re at the mercy of whatever choices GNOME makes?« osnews.com/story/139512/linux-…
#GNOME #XFCE #GTK #libadwaita
it's such a shame the way Thom wrote the article makes it look like @linuxmint is fighting against GNOME, which isn't the interpretation I got when I read the original article. They're just trying to make those apps work well on their desktop and explaining why - GNOME apps are made for the GNOME desktop (tested, supported, etc.), and therefore the Cinnamon developers want to provide functional, well-tested platform-agnostic GTK apps, which is a valid reason that I 100% support.
Linux Mint isn't trashing GNOME in any way, and they also explicitly said they're not blaming GNOME for anything.
I'm not blaming GNOME either.
However, fact remains that libadwaita has sucked a lot of air out of the room for desktops like Xfce, and they're obviously feeling the squeeze. It's definitely not GNOME's job to cater to non-GNOME desktops, but there's no denying that the heavy focus on libadwaita is having negative side effects, and pointing that out should not be dismissed as being "anti-GNOME".
GNOME is a great desktop, and its developers are doing an amazing job, libadwaita included. That does not mean, however, that libadwaita's negative side effects on Xfce and other non-GNOME GTK-based desktops magically go away. They're experiencing real issues over there, and waving them away feels deeply unfair to the people working on Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, and others.

We got some bad news at the vet today, and I’m still trying to sort through my feelings, honestly. If the next few days bring some relief for our wee 14 year old Toy Poodle Kiwi, we might have a few more weeks or months with her — and that’s the best case scenario. We are fortunate to have such a kind and pragmatic vet, but…my heart hurts tonight. 😔
The new meds helped a little, but not enough. Kiwi’s last day was filled with sunshine, love, peace, and her favorite foods — blueberries and peaches.
She has been a joyful presence in our lives, and we will be forever grateful she chose us.
We promise to be there for and with them, right until the very last. And we promise to make the hard decisions, to not flinch, to not fade, but to stay true to that promise until the end. Run strong and free, Miss Kiwi. 💕

ich habe hier ein komische Anzeige mit dem Theme Frio.
Die Beiträge sind leer und erstrecken sich über die ganze Breite.
Wenn ich das Theme auf schwarz oder dunkel umstelle, ist es ein wenig besser, aber immer noch fehlerhaft. Rechts wird hier dann etwas zusätzlich angezeigt.
Im Theme Vier ist der Fehler nicht vorhanden.
ich hatte den Fehler schon mal vor ein paar Monaten. Hat dann aber wieder funktioniert. Ich denke, dass es an irgendeinem Beitrag liegt, der dann die Ansicht kaputt macht.
Das habe ich aktuelle unter Neu - Aktivität. Unter Neu - Empfangen taucht der Fehler nicht auf. Vermutlich, weil dort der Beitrag nicht enthalten ist.

I continue to be fascinated by the fact that when Jack Dorsey looks back at his time at Twitter, his only regret is that it was technically possible for him to ban the Nazis so people nagged him to do so.
So now his ideal social network is one where the moderators can’t ban Nazis.
So many gaming sites writing about how “Bungie” released Marathon on Steam or it’s “now free”.

Apple's new iPad ad hasn't gone down well with creatives, according to @AxiosNews. The commercial showed a massive hydraulic press crushing musical instruments, arcade games, cameras and paint cans, and reopening to reveal just an iPad. "I'm definitely the target audience for the new iPad Pro but this ad is tone-deaf and insulting to artists of every kind," wrote cartoonist James Kochalka on X. "We think of our tools with reverence and respect, and enjoy a healthy dialogue with them. Our tools are like trusted companions on the journey of art." Here's more.

"Excuse me, you're doing what now?" I ask as I turn to face the viewer in the pilot episode of my new Youtube channel titled:

Dear Star Trek Discovery writers, kindly refrain from casually throwing around the name of a colonial governance and military strategy that has been used by various recent[1] empires, including the British in South Asia, to brutally colonize and exploit millions of people, their lands and resources. Thanks. 👍
_____
1. Yes, I'm aware the strategy wasn't invented by the British and has been in use by colonial governments and their armed forces going back to the Romans and even further back to the Babylonians. What's your point?
I know this seems like something that might be trivial, especially to western white audiences. But words matter. And yeah okay it’s not a grievous no-no, and yeah I presented it in a sort of comical tone.
You’re not going to offend anyone by saying it or anything like that, but let me put it this way:
1. It’s weird to use it the way they did in this scene. “We’re divide and conquering on the clue?” Like imagine if Stamets said, “we’re colonizing on the clue.” Right? It’s an odd phrasing.
2. Every South Asian person I know is aware of the history of violence, subjugation and exploitation of our region and its connection to the phrase “divide and conquer.” So, yeah you won’t find the more conscientious among us casually using the phrase in routine-daily-speak ways like they did in this scene.
Does this make any sense?
