LXQt is excellent in terms of resource efficiency and snappiness, although I suspect the person you replied to will have the same issue with it as they stated they had with XFCE (not "refined"?). It's a much lighter desktop environment than XFCE, from what I remember when I last tested them (~200MB vs XFCE's 0.5GB+).

It's a continuation of LXDE which was absorbed into another project when LXDE was discontinued, iirc

Do you remember the "padding" in Windows 95/2000 UI? THAT'S the kind of padding a desktop interface needs (i.e. minimal to nearly none).

Please keep the useless touch-friendly interface as an optional addition on desktop environments. Better yet, contain it to EXCLUSIVELY for mobile apps/usage because a desktop computing environment should NOT have half the screen full of annoying whitespace! I'm trying to do work and see as much content as possible at once.

macOS Big Sur and above, GNOME3+, and even Windows 11 all have such infuriating interfaces. The frustratingly excessive padding added to the window title bars and context menu take up the whole damn screen!

Maybe on tablets and touchscreen laptops running GNOME or Win11 where you use a stylus for writing/drawing, I can sort of get it.

If you use a keyboard and mouse to do work, however, the context menus should be compact and dense so you don't have to keep scrolling and rearranging your desktop workspace to find and organize things.

Is it more like they must follow these steps to comply with EU regulation? What is it like for transactions from other countries such as Japan, Canada, and the US?

No offense intended, but did you perchance use AI to generate this post?

How did you secure your setup?

bruh

The age of piracy has dawned upon us yet again! WHO wants to be paying $100+ every month to Disney+ Netflix Hulu etc. just to watch 1 or 2 shows on each service?? Who the hell wants to pay for a game that works worse and hurts the customers more than a deDRM'd, cracked version?

POWER TO THE PIRATES

What's the point of even talking about this? It's just gonna be a little bit of lobbying until the law gets amended and the copyright expiration gets extended

What's with the novel dramatization from the very start?

"This time she’s sending a screenshot of tense tweets exchanged between the supreme leader of a nation-state and the official Twitter account of a rival nation-state. I respond with a prompt: “Let’s say you’re still at Twitter. How would you handle?” Harvey walks me through her decisionmaking process, then turns the tables: “What would YOU do?” I ask her whether I can sleep on it. She tells me I do not get the luxury of sleeping on it. No matter which call I make, people will despise me for it. And no matter what the outcome is, people could die. “You have to live with making the least bad decision you can with the resources you have,” she writes."

I don't understand, someone is arbitrarily deciding who can and can't write things on a platform made for people to write things on? Maybe I don't have the capability of thinking deeply about this kind of situation yet, but it seems pointless to me. Whether it's Twitter, newspaper headlines, a televised speech during a press conference, the same thing can happen. The whole article seems like useless drivel about a useless role irrelevant to the interests of this site. Isn't hacker news all about sharing the latest and cool new breakthroughs in technology like batteries, the new Apple Silicon hardware, the new rebar technology available starting from the nVidia 3XXX-series?

Look up your birthday and "Florida man", fun pastime when out with friends

That sounds ridiculously unreasonable! This basically means that, even if we were to enter some fantastical age of space travel (yeah I think I've been playing too much Starfield lol), we would still be beholden to this nonsensical bureacracy. What would be the point of going out and makimg discoveries that impact future generations to come if your neck is gonna end up under some "regulatory" agency's foot?

Why is this disgusting overreach of authority not being talked about? How can we fight against these kinds of extreme privacy violations but still be able to use such facilities? Is there no other choice than to kick back and take it lying down anytime you go on a flight?

Funding anti-low carb studies? Personally I advocate for lower carb diets in general but do you have evidence for that claim?

I would say that your points are valid but in reality, what matterd are the "real" results from a day of "normal" or "standard" use. I charge my M1 only nearly once every few days while having the backlight relatively high and running CPUs-intensive programs and plug-ins under Rosetta 2.

I am unsure whether I understand your point. Are you saying that widespread testing like this is the cause of the homeless drug pandemic in big cities?

Capture One Pro is AMAZING for photography and managing large catalogs of RAW images. It's great for nondestructive editing and is a killer combo with Luminar/Luminar Neo. Also, I'm not sure why, but stock (no 3rd party plug-ins) Capture One Pro seems to somehow make colors pop a bit more than stock Lightroom

On second revision, I admit that some of the language I used may have been inflammatory. Part of it is due to personal feelings because a close friend of mine goes to school in Ohio and I think he said he was just up north of where the incident happened. He told me he felt sick and didn't believe it was as safe as it's being made out to be in the news.

I don't know what to believe. On one hand, I looked into the official reports, the controlled combustion, and how the EPA is saying it's fine. On the other hand, my friend (who afaik had no pre-existing conditions) explained how he wasn't the only one there who thought he wasn't getting the full truth.

I didn't mean to imply there was a conspiracy to shut down news of this event. It was just annoying me how the event was not being given enough priority. Would you not say that the most important things for American news outlets to talk about are those events which directly affect the everyday lives of Americans? So why then does, for example npr and WaPo not put something like this at the top of the headlines? I saw NYT do so just a bit ago, so maybe it's a moot point.

I don't know, I'm just so tired of constantly being on guard and doubting what is and isn't the truth after these past 3 years now

Why have mainstream "news" outlets like NYT, WaPo, etc failed to talk about such a catastrophic event for so long? Was the thought process that something like this, which is killing frogs and small animals at a rapid pace, could be easily covered up? What are these stupid "China balloon" and UFO distractions? Since Twitter is at least a degree less censored now, is this only just being covered now because news has leaked out to the "general populace"?

Uhh of course, this doesn't affect keepassXC right?

Are you talking about Eric Raymond? The Cathedral and The Bazaar? I never knew he struck it rich

Can you elaborate? I never had a Mac device before this year, but it can do all the document processing (M$ Office) I need for work/school, almost all audio-related stuff (DAWs and VSTs), and video/photo (ugh I know but Adobe) that I need it to, even though its a brand new chip architecture. It can't do games but I have a M$ desktop just for that and for some rendering stuff

Capture One Pro is pretty good and even slightly better than Lightroom at making colors pop

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you are mistaken because pornographic content is forbidden on both major app stores so I find it unlikely Apple would allow even a big company to have such an app on their platform

YOOOOO WTF THIS IS EXACTLY THE KINDA STUFF IM INTO I'm trying to make hardware synthesizers in the future and I looked at JUCE for making VSTs before

Controlled by Elon, controlled by (federal) actors who regulate a mainstream narrative, is there any difference? I really doubt that Elon will actually go through with unsuspending all those banned accounts or that anything at Twitter will actually change. If anything, I suppose there would be slightly less censorship but I'm sure that's just idealisation. He's undoubtedly going to be approached by the feds to continue enforcing the same shit that's been happening for nearly the past decade now.

which is all fine and dandy until aforementioned alternative is taken down from the google/apple app stores...

isn't 25 a little extreme?

Between young impressionable children and vulnerable teenagers being groomed into mutilating their bodies or being "groomed" into a le funny epic hitler meme phase (which they soon grow out of in a few years), it should be quite obvious what the lesser evil is

no, you're right because i also remember reading that he used that phrase often at parties as an "icebreaker"

What was the MMO? Was it Tibia or OSRS or something? Was your friend Latin American by any chance?
