nice I can scroll like a person now

I’ll check that out as well

I’ll check it out

“hope this email finds you dead”

no idea, I mostly use it to be able to read microblogs and reply to them while still using threads primarily all on one account. my best guess is microblog-only things don’t see the community and threads-only things see it as a regular thread formatted like a microblog.

water’s cheap in my state too people just like feeling good about how much water they use.

do y’all not have the kind where you press one button for pee (uses very little water bc no solid mass to move) and one for poop (more water, but still less than normal toilets)? those are pretty common here in the states now bc they save a lot of water.

huh, wish i could remember when i lived in germany but i was super young at the time.

nice. I should mention that the microblogs need to be put in a magazine (community) as well, but you can always just use the random one.

weird that the hole is in the front. most American toilets have the hole directly under your butthole and the poop just goes straight in (most of the time) with the water breaking it’s fall on the way.

extensions (in my testing, typically in a VM of fedora or openSUSE) are a pain in the ass to use. it’s also difficult to find the one that I’m looking for because there’s generally several with the same name. something like a system tray (iirc the extension is “app indicators”) or having the dock always visible on the desktop (idk what the extension is called) are features that most people who don’t already use gnome rely on to some degree. these things are core functionality of most desktops precisely because most people use and like these features, and adding a few of the most popular features won’t add enough extra data to really be bloat.

quick sidenote, while typing this I realized the way I have been phrasing things may sound a little aggressive. it's not meant to, this is meant to be more of a breakdown of why I think what I do about gnome as a desktop. I'm not sure how to rephrase this to be less aggressive, so I'm leaving this bit right where I noticed it instead.

I personally am very big on having all the customization I can get (kde user, obviously) but I actually did almost stick with gnome once. I tried vanilla is because orchid has just come out and while I was messing with it I found out that it had the dock extension available by default (was new to Linux at the time and didn’t know how to actually use extensions yet) and with that dock extension I didn’t mind gnome as much. the thing with gnome is that it has a lot of good ideas but it ruins a lot of them by only half-implementing what everyone else is already doing. most people would probably find it a lot more usable if it just had features that have been standard since literally the beginning of GUIs, and used to be standard in gnome.

there’s lots of other good ones under this thread but I’ll add mass effect, specifically mass effect 2.

don’t get Christianity as a whole confused with Catholicism. many of those beliefs are not according to the Bible and thus are not true Christian beliefs. those are Catholic beliefs, meaning that they come from the remnants of the Roman empire trying to hold on to power and not from the word of Christ. also, anything from the old testament is no longer the rules. the entire point of the new testament is that humans can’t follow the old rules, so pretty much the only rules now are accept God as your savior and try not to be a dick. as a sidenote, yes I know many people who claim to be Christian fail to not be a dick, they are not true Christians. they simply claim to be to justify some prejudice using misquotes of the Bible and rules that stopped applying long before it was even called the Bible.

the hell kind of toilet were you using? they usually have water in like the bottom third and the water level only goes up for a moment when you flush.

most of the things in gnome extensions should be built in and available from the settings. that being said there’s nothing stopping me from just using something else, hence why I use kde.

kinda, but you still have to put the microblogs in a community. it’s a little odd but I like it.

I use mbin and it does threads and microblogs. it’s a little janky at times and there is only one app (interstellar, android) but I like it.

sounds like they are doing what the 3ds did with some upgrades. hopefully the “AI” is actually useful instead of just being injected into a product that doesn’t need it.

not magic, gyroscopes. the wheels act as gyroscopes once they have sufficient rotational speed.

he’ll yeah
