Seriously, WTF? Why the hell is this relevant? Is this some American thing?
I’m also on Mastodon

Actually no, I hated the Vista era UI design. Linux themes were positively garish, add MacOS looked like a candy store. CDE greatly impressed me back then. It looked like it was made by adults for adults. Highly legible, and the pastel colors are being emulated by Solarized.
I’m sure that those UIs were a product of the times. The 90’s and noughties were loud and colorful and exciting and everything looked like a comic. Now that we live in more depressing times, we can look to the science of perceptual psychology.
You see, we have an attention budget, we need to process what we see. Visually complex UIs need to be parsed, and that takes mental effort, and that robs us of mental energy to focus on our work. It’s not a crippling effect, but it’s there.
Look at street signs and corporate logos, they easily lodge in our mind. Effective advertising has a clear and simple visual language, and this is what UIs should strive for.
Just stop!
But what helped me: often smoking is part of a daily routine or ritual, so mix up your routine. Take up a new hobby or take the bus instead of the car. Go for a walk after lunch. Giving up smoking is a big change, so don’t be afraid to make big changes. Get new clothes. Make new friends. You have discarded your old identity as a smoker. Still smoking? Doesn’t matter! You already want to stop - you’re becoming that person already.
And don’t be so hard on yourself if you have a smoke now and then. Be conscious of what situation or routine triggered the reflex, and change it in future. If you have a smoke every few days or weeks, don’t sweat it, you’ve broken addiction as far as I’m concerned!
Also not exactly cheap!
If you’re into self-hosting there’s Wallabag, but it’s not half as slick as Omnivore.
Could someone eli5 to me old fart why it’s a good idea to restrict content to a certain time? Increase engagement, OK, but why so much effort to create content that disappears after two weeks?
Welcome to the wonderful world of auction sniping on eBay!
You could install ChromeOS, but afaik you can only install Android apps on certified devices.
Always happy to see gemini-related posts!

Who knows, maybe OP is playing competive PVP in the browser on his phone?
Just checked it out and it seems that Playtron is yet another Linux distro for gamers. I just can’t see how this can be monitized. How do they plan to get users away from Windows, SteamOS or even Bazzite?
Both GNOME and KDE are first-class DEs in Fedora - stability is a non issue. You can install both if you want and select your choice at the login screen to just switch back and forth. The only thing you might want to keep in mind is that both have their own prpgrams, like file managers for example, so you’ll have two programs for the same task.
Performance is a wash, really, with a halfway modern setup. Your browser will be consuming way more resources than the desktop by far.
Compatibility is also a non issue nowadays, both implement the Freedesktop standard and are fully compatible with each other.
I’m pretty sure that the installer is the same for all major spins.
Hope you have fun with Fedora!
Just checked - the animation scale values on my FP4 are set to 2.0. Does that mean double or half as fast?
Just tried it out. It’s quite obvious what a smaller value does!
I installed Bluefin on my mother’s laptop and it’s like a Chromebook for her. She just wants to surf and consume media, and the OS stays solid and out of they way.
Atomic distros are the biggest advance for Linux in recent years.
I don’t know how the technical implementation will work, but here is a post I found.
The idea is that you transfer money from the bank to your device, just like withdrawing cash from an ATM. Transferring money from one wallet to another should be able to be offline.
It seems like privacy is a priority, if only to satisfy privacy groups and improve acceptance.
Recently read an ELI5 of the digital euro and was pleasantly surprised. If it works as designed, you can perform offline payments from one device to another, which sounds like your use case. No central servers, no blockchain.
Congratulations on settling on your endgame keyboard!
Once got my Moonlander and put on Dolch XDAs with O-Ring, I called it a day. Every now and then I’ve been musing about an Ergodash, but I just don’t have a good reason to switch.
This riddle has me at a loss and I will not search the internet for passionate athletic girls.
Male and female are also insanely large groups but I’ll never understand why the color of your skin is so important in the land of the free.
