I love KDE but they could take some notes from this!

Yeah I appreciate their approach which optimizes for information density a lot more than competing desktops, but it could certainly feel cleaner while doing so.

I think mid-00s commercial OSes are a good target in this regard. OS X 10.2-10.9 and Windows XP-7 had a pretty good level of density while also feeling relatively clean and would be good to take some cues from.


I use KDE and you made me right click everywhere and I can't find a menu without icons lol

Yeah with KDE it's all or nothing, either every menu item has an icon or you can turn off all of them.

This goes against the original argument which is that icons should only be used for universal idioms that can be recognized by the icon _only_. Otherwise it's just noise


where do you disable them?

System Settings > Application Style > Configure Icons and Toolbars

Yeah I'd love to prefer KDE, but GNOME is closer to what I'm used to (Mac OS). Pity it's not that good and written in JS.

I've been hoping Cosmic DE improves enough to be usable.


It doesn't matter that it's JS, they have their own, performant interpreter for it and it's a limited subset of JS. And that's just one layer, the rest is actual compiled code, increasingly Rust.

I was skeptical, too, but it allows for some serious visual tweaking beyond what KDE allows without rewriting code.


I really like this. I'll definitely continue using it.

There is just one thing that bugs me - during every cold start my playlists take like half a minute to load, and that's even with my personal API key. Surely these could be cached?


Ah do you have to use an API key? I assumed it would pretend to be the real Spotify client?


You don't _have_ to but without one it uses a shared rate limit pool


IF we're going that route, maybe tiled windows shouldn't cast a shadow either?


I don't think half the globe is that invested in what Trump is doing, much less against it.


It makes sense that people tend to upvote things thats make them laugh over things that make them upset.


If there is any positive to be had from this, it's that we finally started documenting the codebases for AI as we should have always done it for other teammates.


> It breaks the separation between structure and design

I have a problem with this argument because CSS _itself_ breaks that separation.

`border: 1px solid red;` is design, but `display: flex;` is structure.

In my opinion, it makes sense for display properties to live in the HTML because they are by their very nature very tighly coupled to the markup.

Though I appreciate that making this distinction creates a separate problem of your team having to exercise good judgement (and consistency) in which CSS belongs where.


MSN MESSENGER HAD THIS!

I used to play this with a friend. You would take turns, that is, the mines would reveal themselves in real time, and your turn ended if you missed a mine.

Then the game would call you a slut when it ended, because my friend's MSN was in Swedish and that is the word for "end"


No, that was regular minesweeper. The difference in this new version is that all the clues are revealed in the beginning.


Ah yes - my bad. I fixated on the part where you have to uncover the mines instead of avoiding them.


It's definitely a worldwide phenomenon at this point. Memes know no borders


I'm not scared of rebasing I'm scared of force pushing
