@ebassi Just recently I got an issue from a user on KDE who has Reduced Motion (or similar) enabled there but our GTK app on Flatpak doesn't inherit it from KDE, only (the old option) from GNOME.

@ebassi actually a good take for a gnome dev

@gianmarcogg03 @ebassi it is anoying. stop begging when i'm on my puter. if i ever have money that i can donate, i will do so.

@condret @ebassi at least on KDE Plasma, it appears once a year in december and disabling it permanently is a few clicks away.

@gianmarcogg03 @ebassi on i3 it never happens, on stumpwm it never happens, on ratpoisonwm it never happens

@ebassi hyprland asked me to do that and I was tempted to go full theo t3 and offer them money in exchange for removing vaxry and replacing him with a security expert

@condret @ebassi they don't need the money as they are simple programs that don't do as much.

@gianmarcogg03 @ebassi yeah, gnome and kde are fat rats, which is why more people should use ratpoisonwm

@ebassi you'd probably still need, well, probably want, a company to keep a web browser engine alive tbh. Maybe im misunderstanding what youre saying here, but its a massive undertaking that many of us critically depend on

The problem is that social media managers end up taking CTO positions, really.

@swags you don’t need a company, you just need a legal entity—and you can get away with a non-profit for that.

I was also not referring to just Mozilla with that sentence.

@ebassi Ah right, I get what you mean. I guess we're just really lucky with webkit and chromium then.

@ebassi they still make the best browser

it genuinely is the web users who suck

@ebassi this is safe place, albeit every time I see it, visually it feels dopamine overdose

@ebassi knockout tour was addicting as hell

@ebassi So you are saying I have to start doing that if I don't want to live in a world made of glass and Chrome?

@ebassi
So use fdisk and mkfs.* (also as root)?

@simoncrowe do fdisk and mkfs.* come with a GUI and about a million lines of unaudited code?

@sheogorath why are you even using a computer if you want to go back to a prelapsarian rural golden age?

@ebassi I like the flickering lights on the rectangle in front of me when I push buttons.

@ebassi I am too dumb to figure out what is sarcasm or not... What should we be using?

@douginamug use software that has proper separation of security domains, and uses authenticated escalation for privileged operations
