Anything beyond ncurses is a crutch for the weak and corrupting the youth.
Upon changing ticket system at work, one of the graybeards asked about apis and cli access because “real men don’t click”
Then I must be among the manliest of men. :)
I learned all the different ways to use the keyboard in Windows and never looked back. The best of both worlds, although relearning everything now that I’ve switched to Linux is proving a challenge. I’m starting to think that the Linux GUIs don’t have true keyboard accessibility.
cli gang
Where my turbo vision peeps at?
ncurses is bloat
Sorry, I like my curses restricted and old skool
Every time I take a look at collections of user created themes for anything, I am reminded why design is a profession.
Not trying to shame anyone, I’ve been an enjoyer of custom themes ever since I started using Linux, but you need to have at the very least a little contrast in your theme. That’s kinda where this conversation begins :D
User themes having poor contrast and inconsistencies is why I stick to stock themes, made by UX/UI designers who work directly with the developers.
I really don’t care about my OS UI since I’m barely actually using it, especially after a few minutes setting up one-click actions. Less than 1% of my time and effort on the computer.
Applications, on the other hand, is where I live and FUCKING HELL!!!
For me, desktop UI peaked at Windows 98.
Installing the 95/98 GTK theme by B00merang is one of the first things I do after a fresh installation of Linux Mint.
I do try other themes once in a blue moon. But I soon realise it is a downgrade and revert back. The last theme I tried was the Arc theme back in mid-late 2010s.
My biggest hurtle is why i can’t see files as thumbnails when picking a file to open or save. It works for file library but the file picker won’t show images as thumbnails. Only a list view with tiny thumbnails that sra too small to see the actual image
I never found that to be a problem. In fact, I find the thumbnails distracting. But I can see it being a problem for others.
The rare occasion I work with image files, I just open it to identify, if I haven’t already named it properly.
It also helps that most of my workflows are not image-heavy.
Yeah the thumbnail part becomes quite handy when picking pictures to edit or upload, especially when it is from a folder that mostly contains images
Does anyone know what the origin of this meme is? I started seeing it everywhere earlier this year out of nowhere
stop doing science was the original
