I’m okay with tangents because I love learning about formatting & cultural differences. I think it’s fascinating!
And yeah that’s interesting because here in the US, putting a hyphen in between each section is typically much more common. For example, we’d write 123-456-7890.
How do you prevent overflow with line breaks without having to use every single time, though? With a visible separator, there’d be no need for that.
This article was written in the sense of bashing gnome but yet some points seem to be valid. It explains the history of gtk 1 to 4 and the influence of gnome in gtk. I’m not saying gnome is bad here, instead I find this an interesting to read and I’m sharing it.
That’s fair. Like I said, I mostly don’t use them. But if I really need to remember something in the short term, I’ll put it on the desktop. Or if I don’t really have any other place to put it I’ll put it there.
My point is that it’s useful to have when you need it, even if you don’t normally use it. Although I suppose it wouldn’t be difficult necessarily to find a new workflow. Still, to most everyday people I imagine desktop icons are kind of a non-issue.
I have opened in a tab that article you sent me. If keeping such an otherwise minor feature available is such a problem for future development for developers, I will have to read that. Because it otherwise seems almost inconsequentially small a detail when compared to the OS / file system experience as a whole.
Do not misunderstand me. I don’t generally use a lot of desktop icons. For the most part, the fewer icons are on my desktop the better, but I do have a few.
But back when Ubuntu briefly got rid of them, it sucked because occasionally I do want some icons on my desktop.
In short: if you don’t wanna use any, you don’t have to; just gimme the damn option.
Not sure about the similarities here, but I actually love GTK when it comes to app design. It’s one of the things I miss about Linux in Windows. (Yes, I’m a Windows user—not by choice, though.) About the only thing I hate about it is that for some reason a lot of GTK app designers think a simpler design should mean less functionality. Gimme my damn right-click context menus dammit! >_<
Text does not convey tone or subtext in general well at all. Thus, never assume that sarcasm will be obvious to absolutely everybody. So, just to be safe, it’s best to just always use /s if you’re being sarcastic, at least when speaking amongst the general public.
He’s right-wing only in the sense that American politics is so far right compared to other industrialized countries that even the left-wing is right-wing in comparison.
Compared to America’s right-wing (aka fascists, aka Republicans (the party, not everyday people, though many of them too)), he’s basically Jesus.
But that doesn’t shield our … president from criticism.
Agreed, but criticizing him for stuff he’s not guilty of only degrades the credibility of actual legit criticisms. It’s the boy who cried wolf.
So since we agree, then condescending to me wasn’t exactly called for, now was it?
Okay, I’ve gone through my responses and can’t see it. Please point out where exactly I was condescending to you. If I was, then I apologize; that was not my intention.
If you agree that student loans should be categorically forgiven …
I do. Not by category, but completely across the board.
but he’s not a good person.
Agreed.
He’s got my friends and loved ones detained and/or deported.
I think that really sucks and I don’t blame you for being upset about it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d vote for him over Republicans, but it really fucking sucks that that’s our choice,
I agree that that non-choice choice is a shitty situation.
and it’s not a reasonable request for me to not criticize his absolute dogshit pro-capitalist worldview.
I never said you can’t criticize him. I’m not opposed to that. I’m opposed to criticizing him for stuff he didn’t do, like claiming he didn’t attempt the shit out of loan forgiveness without being subject to asshole Republicans blocking every goddamn thing he does if it goes against their tyrannical wants, like petulant children having a tantrum.
it isn’t translated - it’s just English in the Cyrillic alphabet.

I must be misunderstanding you. I transliterated it to Latin script based on visual similarity but it still doesn’t seem to make any coherent sentence.
Cyrillic isn’t just scrambled Latin script, the letters have different sounds.
No, I knew that. I genuinely thought they were saying to transliterate it according to visual similarities. Lol.
Visual similarity can cause a lot of issues with learning the alphabet, because some are what they look like (т, о, е, м, б, к, [х, but pronounced weird]), but others aren’t (с = s, р = R, я = ya, н = N, и = ee, з = z, г = g)…
