'twas told to me that in many ways they refuse to cooperate with our system of taxonomy at large, too freaky to ever be properly pinned down

Hell yeah, nice. My fav in and out is for whatever annoying thing or whatever I'm actually working on, especially be it a CICD pipeline or similar, I end up just F12 and just curl cht.sh/name-of-cmd for quick vetted (?) usage examples of tons of stuff.

Didn't know about lofi, cool!

FWIW I boot Bazzite in desktop mode with two 27" displays and have been very happy. Mixed use, not nearly as much gaming as it's really intended for most of the time, and occasionally patchy experience but (un-)usually great. So many quality of life little doodads.

For instance, the screens brighten and dim effortlessly with my scroll wheel on a widget in the taskbar, just by default. Discovered it by accident lol, what else don't I know?!

It's excellent. Folks should use it.

I really love Yakuake too and will keep it forever.

I'd like to get a little more..."dextrous" with it? But there's a problem lol. It's so very immediately convenient with no effort involved at all that my brain kinda refuses to consider complicating it.

Literally pressing F12 to go in and out at will, and that's it - that's the entire learning curve I've engaged with lol.

I don't even know what else it might do beyond tabs. Not even hotkeys. It's too (blissfully) easy to use, it ceases to be a layer in my brain entirely, I think.

Just wanna say, great job on the feedback reception. Critically important (and often hard!!) skill, to get the value while leaving the ego-hit. If you handle criticism this well as a non-fulltime-dev, on a project you care about and that you have solo'ed - I have a feeling you have a lot of dev potential.

Nah, this seems like a big deal. Not necessarily "imminent doom for Twitter" big, but still. Social media platforms live and die on network effects, and none (that I'm aware of) has ever successfully "forced" their own viability without having naturally strong network effects.

Network effects work in favor of signups and engagement of course, but they work on the downswing too, they can accelerate abandonment and replacement.

This is legit kinda beautiful to me hahahaha. We're all Bob Ross on this blessed day.

Well, if you were looking for internet explorer on your mousepad, I think 5th grade you was lacking some important info

I'm saying. Lotsa this OS behaves exactly like malware, with plenty of innovative new ~~infections~~ features planned, to be sure.

Wait, you're using your security platform to control Windows components like they're malware? If I'm getting that right and not making a mountain out of a molehill, that's amazing lol

I have to use a client-provided laptop from time to time, from a big ass org. Outlook stopped working recently, I called it in, they didn't even attempt a fix, just told me to use a browser instead lmao
