Nobody should use any browsers other than servo. But it’s not ready yet 🤷‍♂️

I use incus as a sandbox for claude. Previously I used podman, but podman in podman is a pain, so I gave it a full vm 😄

I think you have to learn, but I don’t think it’s difficult to learn. As I said I find it intuitive. My mum could learn it and she is not techy at all. That’s actually a very good example, because she couldn’t print on Windows and now she can with Linux.

Like KDE? It would be a lot more complex. I would fear giving KDE for newcomers. It’s basically windows 98, but with frosty glass themes, fragmented apps.

Or Cinnamon? You upgraded to windows XP. Congratulations.

Deepin? Looks cool until you try to use it.

Xfce? That’s stable and fast. But would you advertise Linux as that outdated?

Cosmic, still early.

Budgie, maybe.

I really think gnome is the best default.

Nevertheless, It’s you mixing intuitive and familiar. Moreover, people who give Linux a trial, they wish for something different. And they really like Gnome from my experience.

Not at all. Newcomers want intuitive UI. And gnome is really that.

Examples:

One unified settings app. Containing all the settings that as a average user needs. It’s always at the top right corner.

Change the wallpaper? Top right corner -> settings

Add a network? Top right corner -> settings

Extend display to projector? Top right corner -> settings

It’s not weird at all.

What would be a better starter DE then?

If somebody is coming from a different DE he wants the same interactions that they used to do. It’s easy to hate Gnome because people see that first. And they find:

• there’s no tray
• what’s that line at the top
• where’s the start menu
• where are the opened apps
• is the app drawer really that ugly

And these are only expectations and you just learn to do things differently.

Just because it has a different workflow that big players implanted in people, Linux needs to match that?

The worst thing you can do is to install a dock extension to make it feel like you are in your previous DE. If you want to get the real Gnome experience, you need to let it be Gnome.

As for the design, it’s indeed subjective, but we can agree that it is modern with balanced spacing. You can feel that a graphic designer worked on it. And if you don’t like it, that’s the same as with other DEs, install a theme. As you can’t change QT apps to use titlebar you can’t change GTK apps to use app menu instead.

And finally the keyboard efficiency: Indeed every major DE is keyboard efficient, but I wasn’t expecting it for Gnome when I was learning it, because I’m videos, you always see clicks, so I mentioned it.

It is included because it is innovative, newby friendly (Windows and Mac are both more complex), It has efficient keyboard navigation by default. And it has pleasant, modern UI by default.

Could you please not excite cancel culture against a great DE?

If you want to join developing an alternative, I’m in.

If I am the tankie you must be the lgbtq femboy. There’s nothing wrong with it. We are here for different reasons :D.

Stereotypes aside, aren’t you using one?

• Image processing, (e.g.: Camera enhancement, gimp, rawtherapee are full with AIs)
• sound processing, (noise reduction, etc…)
• text processing
  • reasoning models for programming, math
  • LLMs for grammar checking / searching when I don’t know the keyword / researching when I’m not interested that much about the topic, but I want multiple sources / getting common knowledge I don’t know yet.
• Recently I tried 3D asset generation. Damn it gave me a perfect character model. But it’s not for work so I’m not gonna pay for it.
• etc…

They are useful.

These are not deadlines. A task takes what it takes. We only provide an estimation.

I had heavy problems to solve. Claude Opus could solve some. I could solve them too, but with claude it’s faster. One recent problem would take around two days if I would do it, but claude did it in half an hour.

I’m not advertising claude, if it gives bullshit response I turn it off instantly. Like with every tool, you need to learn to use it.

Another example: In the app I work on, there’s a huge list of city integration files. I had a loose set of specifications for a new city, and with claude I could roll out a new prototype in no time. It saved me about a month of work.

It’s expensive and energy hungry for sure.

It does work for me. I use it and it is helping a lot.

please explain why do you justify killing people in ukraine

That’s a fair point. However, on the practical side, it’s sad that I would have to root my gf’s phone to let her access the services we host.

I ended up using a DynDNS and Caddy for managing my cert.

I don’t know about iOS, but Android had support for this in the past. Now the support is partial. It’s no longer possible to install system-level certificates. Or at least they made it extremely inconvenient.

Let’s be extra safe. New cert per every request

not all phones support manually adding certs

Downvoting because the title says “best” and I disagree. Apple products have a bunch of drawbacks, I wouldn’t buy them even if the hardware is strong and efficient.

Hey,

The photos look great!

Personally, I try to keep my photos as they are and only edit a few. I’m always questioning my edits. For example, should it be more bluish or warmer? Should I keep what I saw, or make it better - but fake? And that’s a rabbit hole. I also try to make the whole album follow the same style, so if I edit one, I end up editing all of them. I can spend more time editing my photos than taking them.

About the shapness, I’m using rawtherapee, I found it to have a bit more logical UI. It applies capture sharpening by default to raw images, which rarely needs adjustment. Have you tried it yet?
