Some random dude who likes turtles and minecraft.
My dad got me a Linux laptop as a kid (I was 10 I think?), and I am so grateful that he did.
To be fair, I already had a huge passion for computing, and it meant that I would constantly toy around with Linux, breaking things and learning how to fix them.
I have been a Linux user ever since, and I feel have learnt so much about computing because of it.
(I started on Ubuntu 12.04, with the glorious Unity desktop)
It’s actually when they mention the Lemmy community. Mastodon users seem to get confused which accounts are Lemmy accounts vs which accounts are Mastodon.
The name being the same causes the confusion, but is not the reason for the post coming to Lemmy.
adhd prolly idk
tbh i dont think i’ve ever needed w3schools, mdn has always been plenty for me.
Do you know why there’s KDE, XFCE and others? Because there’s also a lot of people who dislike GNOME.
If we are getting pedantic here, the above quote is clearly implying that alternatives exist and are actively developed because people dislike GNOME. Your statement does not take in to account the possibility that people just like the other alternatives, and may still like GNOME as well, or feel indifference towards it.
No one is claiming that GNOME has the superior desktop experience. Rather, GNOME has a more opinionated experience, that suits some people, and not others. For some people, it will be superior. For others, they will prefer KDE, XFCE etc.
Umm well akshually 🤓👆: KDE doesn’t exist because people don’t like GNOME lol. GNOME was made because KDE uses QT, which used to be proprietary.
unironically
Welcome to the fediverse, put your fears aside! Here’s a tip for browsing Lemmy, oh wait no the server died.
Ha yeah sure. Haven’t used Gnome in over 3 years, daily drive KDE. Just happen to not be 12.
This is honestly really sad. I really don’t get the hostility towards Gnome and it’s devs.
Gnome is certainly quite opinionated, and isn’t to everyone’s tastes, but this doesn’t make it ok for memes like this (a pretty shit meme regardless).
Gnome has done a lot for the linux ecosystem, and Gnome developers don’t owe you anything.
Grow up.
Alright, I’ll look into this. Thank you.
I have the plasma browser integration. It adds an item to “Share” in the context menu (for use with KDEconnect etc) and integrates Firefox with the media player.
Just tried it. Same colour picker as Firefox unfortunately.
The color type form input. It’s a HTML standard, all modern browsers have it.
Not really. I just like tinkering, and customising things, and I wanted to see if I could.
The following is just my own assumptions, take with a grain of salt.
Phones are often taken out to perform a quick task, then stashed back in a pocket/bag many times a day. As such, being able to unlock a phone quickly is a rather useful feature.
On the other hand, laptops are usually taken out to be used for larger tasks, and as such, do not need to be unlocked as often.
Fingerprint scanners add less value to a laptop than they do a phone.
