You die twice. One time when you stop breathing, and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody damns your soul for the last time.

    WDYM Libadwaita is not customizable? Libadwaita is the most customizable UI lib I would say. You literally can just change every part of any app through css and call it a day.

    I haven’t tried doing it in a while, but I remember it being very difficult to change themes beyond tint and colors, with lots of apps having custom colors not in the pallet used in the “gtk.css” file.

    Gnome is great.

    Most Linux users can’t deal with every single project not prioritizing customization. Gnome having a unique workflow (which is a great one) is unbearable for some reason.

    I am not gonna place the full blame on the Linux community though. Gnome started out way more customizable, so maybe that suddenly getting pulled from underneath Gnome users so inconsiderately gave it a bad reputation.

    Then they went and did absurd things with libadwaita to not only stop supporting customization, but actively interfere with people’s choices of customizing Gnome and libadwaita apps so apps ~“are viewed and used as intended by their developers, and people don’t accidentally break apps and complain to the devs” (i.e. Bullshit).

    Literally the only foundation that made Linux usable, stable, unified and customizable.

    I really can’t see how. It’s popular and user friendly, but I can’t seriously give it that much importance.

    For me at least: It just serves to show that Linux UIs can be clean, consistent, and user friendly. Which might pull in funding from companies and governments looking for a good UI to mass deploy.

    But if it didn’t exist, Plasma would’ve eventually filled that vacuum.

    much

    They stopped Hezbollah from entering Syria, thus speeding up the crumble, but it was clear that without Russian air support the government falling was only a matter of time.

    If you were to check out the changes on ground from 2012 to 2014 you’d see that Iranian intervention didn’t change much, but right after 2015 (Beginning of Russian intervention) the revolution actually starts losing ground and fragmenting. Even the late Daraa insurgencies, where the government needed ground troops (The whole purpose of Iran’s existence in Syria) was handled by Russian troops. LOL

    So, yeah: Hezbollah by itself may have delayed the Homs takeover, but I can’t think of many things that would’ve changed (maybe another massacre or two, but then what?)

    Also, Israel just waited until the rebels took over and then magically knew where each piece of heavy military equipment was located and destroyed it all within like three weeks…

    it feels like a “web app” more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to “load” after loading the page… unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.

    I kind of like this behavior. If you’re writing a complex website with user posts, comments, tags, and other nifty stuff and want it to stay modular it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll end up with this loading behavior (unless you want to SSR everything).

    ui also feels way too ‘simple’, hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work

    Don’t know about that, I find it easy to navigate with the consistent sidebar elements. Searching for posts is easy since they’re usually well tagged and have good titles. Searching for solutions and checking out community contributions and votes is about 90% of my use case for a forum. Maybe you have different use cases.
