Both are great projects really, and big projects at that - big stacks, lots of moving parts.

Whereas GNOME tries to be more uniform, Plasma tries to be more bespoke.

I don’t care which one you use, really. I just love GNOME design principles and it’s desktop paradigm.

Is GNOME a perfect project? No. But when these troglodytes crawl out of their discord servers, I just can’t help but be infuriated by their pure malice and ignorance.

So fuck em. I’m done with this thread.

You have a nice day now, y’hear?

“16 years of paving the way for Plasma”.

There, fixed that for you.

Huh, I guess you’re getting to them then with your massive winging. Guess you’ll get your Rube Goldberg desktop you want and still complain.

“most very useful”.

List. Tell me which ones.

Do not, I repeat, do not infodump on someone today.

Hi, my brain is wired so that it obsesses over details, combs through data and sifts through documentation, over decades even, only some poor soul to give me attention, which promptly opens up the spigot.

Please be advised, you will know why VST2 instrument plugins can take audio input, but only because Native Instruments sort of “hacked it in” during the 2000s, even though it wasn’t apart of the VST2 specification, which Steinberg obviously isn’t a fan of, because even to this day Cubase won’t recognise audio inputs from VST2 instruments in Cubase, but you can with VST 3 instrument plugins, and even though VST4 was at some point announced, it was presumably scrapped because plans for VST5 was leaked time after, but never actually came into fruition. Really though, vendors should be distributing CLAP plugins and contributing back to CLAP, because we could really use an open standard beyond Steinberg’s proprietary SDK, but then people like Native Instruments, Arturia, etc would have to “port their plugins” over to CLAP, which shouldn’t be too hard since it’s sort of API compatible - though not really - but since they won’t see instant returns they probably won’t dedicate the billable hours… so anyways, I program Maxforlive devices nowadays - oh, wait. Butterfly…

Oh noes! Design spec?!? :( STANDARDS AND ETHICS?!?! No! I Want you to install my halfass, broken solution instead of waiting for a proper solution to come along! I’m such a special boy and know coding better than you! HOW DARE YOU HAVE PLANS!! /s

Like some of you are buffoons and need to go use something like Plasma instead. I love Plasma, not pushing that down, it’s just that if you don’t know the modus operandi of GNOME in 2024 already, you might as well give up trying.

At the very least give up complaining. You wouldn’t have Wayland if it weren’t for WONTFIX, ya daft cunts.

The gay can stay, but Palestine go away.

I think it’s perfectly fitting that Palestine’s flag be on display, taking into consideration all the meddling and financial support going on, which begs the question: what other flags would need to be on display? Afghani? Iraqi?

If we’re going to have representation, let us have representation.

Goddamn. If there’s ever a class action suit where the witnesses get leaked, we might see the first case of corporate serial killing…

Can we then finally have corporal punishment for corporations plz? Corporal corporate punishment.

The dumbest out of all the modern “military interventions”. Invasions, really.

“Oh no, you can’t call it that.”

What do I look like, a fucking liberal? A socially conservative liberal even? GTFO here with that, you boot licking normie.

Iraq was bad under Sadam Hussein, but has gotten so much worse post-US invasion, after they installed a bevvy of corrupt collaborative yesmen of course, which has never been bad against any country in history of governance /s

Ah, so that was his true business model.

Also some anti-zionism, which is okay.

Let’s repeat that again:

1. Anti-semitism is not okay
2. Anti zionism is very okay

Sing it with me now!

Isreal’s a bitch~

I was larping as someone from that time… like a lord or a house rep. Y’know, some two-faced politicians with double-morals.

Sir Lordington The 3rd, of the royals, twice removed, thrice inbred: “omg that’s disgusting… is there anywhere I can witness this depravity? Preferably from the safety of a closet- I mean, for moral purposes - of course.”

EDIT: added character name and quotes for clarity.

Another child murdered.

I will not shed a single tear for when cops get shot and killed.

…NixOS is the new Arch Linux. Change my mind.

Nobody… not a single soul…

Some biologists: We take this man from a Nigerian family, breed him with a girl from this Greek family, then as the child grows to maturity, they again breed with someone from this Philipino tribe, and we have the vaccine for cancer.

Everyone: …KILL THEM!!! KILL THEM ALL AND DESTROY THEIR FINDINGS!!!

OMG!! A CITY THAT IS CONVENIENT?!?! SOUNDS LIKE LIZARD PEOPLE TO ME!!!

…what?

Well, it’s hard to tell liberals and conservatives apart, mostly because liberalism isn’t left wing, but actually slightly right from centre, and both liberalism and conservativism share some similarities.

This is what McCarthyism did. It’s the great goal post mover.

Powerful people just use religion to manipulate the masses. When push comes to shove, they’ll ignore whatever they supposedly stand for.
