    I do, except I always enable minimize and maximize because it seems foolish to me to have those disabled by default. It’s really smooth and whenever I have too many windows open, the overview makes it easy to find what I’m looking for. Initially I was against hiding the dock in the overview but I decided to give it a try one day and I actually ended up enjoying it not being visible.

    What’s funny is that I actually end up using the overview instead of alt-tab most of the time because it’s faster for my workflow, and the default window switcher for apps with different windows open is BAD.

    I’ve gotten so used to the workflow that I find myself dragging my mouse to the top left corner of the screen on Windows lol and painfully wait the extra second it takes to open the Windows overview when swiping up with three fingers on a trackpad.







  • I was on Arch for a couple of years on and off (had only 256 GB of storage on my old laptop, so I didn’t dual boot), stopped using Linux for around a year, and now I’ve been on Fedora for a year and a half.

    Though I thinking of going back to Ubuntu on their next LTS release, part of the reason I wanted cutting-edge distros was because I wanted updated packages, especially Gnome as every update brought big (positive) changes. Most of it seems to have stabilized with only small creature comforts being added now, so I want a stable distro that doesn’t cause Windows to ask me to enter my encryption key every couple of weeks due to a kernel update.





  • Oh, this is interesting. If a fediverse compatible software gets search right, it’s gonna get a lot of users. Otherwise, we either have to change the way we search things or search engines might have to change the way they show results.

    I don’t think it would be too hard to change the query though. Instead of adding “Reddit” at the end of your search query, you can add “kbin”, “Lemmy”, or whatever instance you want to see search results from.





  • You guys knew your phone OS growing up? Up until I was around 14-15 I didn’t have a phone. After which I got gifted random slide and flip phones from family. I remember being gifted an iPhone 3G at 16-17 around the time it was two years old and I had a lot of fun playing with it, jailbreaking it, and the like. I remember being very proud I was able to install a wallpaper on it haha.

    I was gifted an android for graduating sigh school, I think it was the Sony Xperia Miro, and I absolutely adored it. I remember adoring their version of Android (2.3 point something iirc) as the skin was light and really nice looking compared to whatever bubbly skin Samsung and LG had going on. After that, I’ve been on Android consistently with a few stints of being gifted iPhones that I sold because I just wasn’t a fan of the closed down ecosystem.

    Speaking of, I still look fondly to Sony’s skin around the time of KitKat. It was such a clean and organized design compared to the competition.

    Edit: This ad for the Sony Xperia Sola is what sold me to Sony phones back in the day. It was such a sexy ad even though I never had the Sola.


  • I agree with this. The first platform to get discoverability between servers right will likely lead the way. It doesn’t help that there’s a double @ system for both users and subreddit equivalents. I think eliminating the first @ for users and using a different character for topics would simplify the system. For example, a user could be user@dom.ain just as in email, and subreddit like forum could be /topic@dom.ain (or #topic@dom.ain but I’m not a fan of this one).
