He looks like he did before he was famous; just totally fucking burned out.

If she’s not running locally she’s not your gf.

I think the UI is still enough to get upset about, even if the structural changes underneath are very different.

He doesn’t like Voyager for good reason though; the app basically one-for-one copied what he had built for reddit but pointed it at Lemmy instead. If somebody took something I had developed and changed very little from the outside, I would be upset too.

I think he’s totally within reason to dislike what is essentially a ripoff of his intellectual property. That being said, I’d be surprised if he decides to make the developers have repercussions for following his design so closely.

I tend to use XFCE on machines with lower specs. It’s a lighter DE. Plasma has always been pretty heavy in comparison, because it’s really customizable and designed to be very good looking, which can be taxing on lower-end hardware.

Framework laptops are interesting and I hope eventually the modularity allows the components to go down in price. Right now I was looking at a 16 (which all sold out within 3 hours of pre-order launch) but it comes out to easily over 3k CAD for a disassembled kit, skimping on RAM and an SSD.
