Hmm, let's figure our how DJ software works 😜

(Likelihood of me DJ'ing a party: zero)

But...look, Linux has free DJ software... more than a few choices (this is MIXXX).

@roland @Binder It was profound foresight in the mid-70s to design software for an operating system that would not even be conceived of, let alone released, until at least a decade later.

That requires developing functional understanding of a future project without anyone first conceiving or conceptualizing it, a truly innovative approach that upends conventional applications of feasible reality.

This will be taught in #ComputerScience theory courses for generations to come.

Oh my, I didn't realise the state of develop-for-Wayland was this bad. As a sometimes hobbyist developer I can feel the pain.

It really does feel like one of the Linux non-profits could usefully somehow "take ownership" of the protocol level to at least standardise on one way to do things like virtual keyboard input. You'd think at least Gnome and KDE could have saved both their selves some time by co-operating on these things.

I'll continue with Xorg-based X11 until there's good reason not to. Yes, I know about recent security issues, lack of maintainer-ship, and the shit show that has been the forks/alternatives...

... but my current X11+fvwm3 setup *works for me*.

One gripe I have about #Linux is theming inconsistancy. I love having so many choices, and to have that, I can't expect every app to use the same UI language/libraries/whatever. I accept that, happily. However, I do really wish GTK apps would just look at my Plasma settings and at least change it's gray to the color the rest of my system is. That's all I'm asking for. Plasma has settings for this, and every GTK app I've used ignores it, remaining dark gray in an ocean of dark rose.

Woke up this morning to discover that, after an update, Microsoft no longer trusts me to edit my own files and folders on my own external hard drive. I was trying to update a portable application and the usual warning popped up that was asking me, was I sure I wanted to paste these files? And I better do it with administrative rights, even though I am the fucking administrator of this Gods damn PC, so I hit continue with administrative right. You do not have permission to edit these files. I am the fucking administrator, you dolts. I am not a casual user, endless screaming. Gods, I wish #Linux was... just better at screen reader accessibility overall, but just... *sigh* I am gonna be one of those seniors that movies love to mock where they know nothing of technology because I'll just stop doing new tech things. #Microsoft

There are many reasons why people move to @Vivaldi. Jack Wallen tells you why he switched in this article on ZDNET.

The point is really that you can make Vivaldi be what you want it to be. We respect that people have different opinions on how the browser should look and feel and thus we provide the flexibility for you to get it your way. You can have a rich UI or you can hide it. No other browser has the level of functionality that we offer, but similarly you can make Vivaldi the most minimal browser as well.

We listen to users both with respect to the things we add, but also what we do not add. Vivaldi is not an ad busines, like most of our competitors. We do not push AI. We do not push Crypto.

If you have not moved it our way, maybe it is time to give us a try?
