  • It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.

    When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.

    So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don’t see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.




  • It almost like a bot is posting this sentence every time SerenityOS is mentioned.

    Using “he” insted of “they” is not enough to call someone transphobic or misogynistic. It’s like you become fascist and are targeting people for one different opinion. Which is not even true.

    There are real problems transgender people are having, ladybird browser must be low on that priority.


  • I see it just as extension to “cancel culture” in IRL society. Nothing complicated just same stuff pushed from media comes to the web. Much helped by algorithms that are supporting it.

    It is not only reddit, whole public internet is just an echo chamber, with no critical opinion allowed.

    Every topic in current society (at least Europe+North America, I don’t know what’s happening in the rest of the world) is either black or white and no in between. Very scary place we are in currently. And people put you in some category just based on one sentence, one though, one idea.

    I don’t see anything special here or on reddit that is not happening in other parts of our society.

    Maybe fediverse is so clean you can see it happening live, just look at any defederation request and what they think of different opinions. Different opinion is forbidden. I never thought we will ger to this point, I believed internet will give us freedom of speech and freedom to discuss. But so many topics have become dangerous.


  • It is still young and underdeveloped.

    It is advertised to be simpler, but I don’t understand any of this words thrown in this thread. And I don’t care. Pulseaudio and pipewire is still making me troubles, even thou alsa worked without issues for me.

    Point it, make it clear and stable and we will come. Until than we will use the beast we know. It os mich easier when there are no options, but Wayland is fighting something that exists and it takes time and effort.

    Another problem is they pushed it to early and people got burned. Until I start seeing “I switched to Wayland in one command and everything works” I (as a user) will not touch it (unles my distro decides to drop X).





  • It is truly upsetting to see how complicated for use password managers are.

    I grow up around computers and I can barely mange them. Other people just don’t understand how to use them, it is complicated and inconvenient. Even after I set them up and show them multiple times, friends don’t manage.

    In browser password managers cover 90%, but I guess web sites and apps need to start testing UX for password managers. Some of them introduce stupid flows that brake all of them.

    Android is complete shit show.

    It is not users, but applications and UX that doesn’t care about security.



  • I don’t have solution for videos, but I am moving back to podcasts and rss as much as possible. I want to be ready when they finally forbbid watching without ads.

    But I must admit content creators are not helping, content for most of them become just job to be done with. I am aware it is not their fault and that yt is pushing them, but content is geting worse.

    It is hard to compete with platform that is loosing so much money. They will also buy anyone who tries. Maybe if we start being satisfied with one resolution and quality, but that will never happen.







  • Do you have an idea what attracts you to her?

    Do you know how humans choose their partners?

    \We usually choose ones that wake up our traumas. It is known emotion for us and looks like attraction, especially sexually. Yeah, we are quite perverse. You know that old idiom “similar to your mother”, yeah but not physically or obviously. For me it was that my mother, contrary to what she is saying, hated her father. That also means she hates all man, including her son (me). Keep in mind she is not aware of any of this hate. So until I discovered that, I was attracted to women that hated their father in the same way my mother did. They also hated, and were attracted to, all man. You can imagine how difficult those relationships are.

    Go get her, you will have your hearth broken. And it is worth it. But also find some psychotherapist to help you with solving this issue so that next one will be the one that is kind to you.
