Welcome to modern operating systems, apps, browsers, websites… just buy a high-dpi 30" screen :D

Even that command wont really disable ALL animations.

Sure, can they consider stopping wasting money / time actually develop useful stuff? For a DE that got €1M from the Sovereign Tech Fund they’re not showing results.

Okay fine, desktop icons can be a design decision, however a “disable animations” toggle on the settings that doesn’t disable ALL animations… that’s just poorly made software, not something you may have an opinion on.

Yes, systemd is a very good and very well written piece of software while GNOME is a pile questionable decisions that uses web tech to create themes and takes about half a second to load up any window. Also the same pile where you’ve to use 3 different network management UIs to get stuff done. And… where you can’t have desktop icons because they were too hard to get done properly OR where you can’t have a “disable animations” toggle on the settings to actually disable ALL animations instead of just some stuff while leaving others arounds.

Finally, because nobody needs to manage system like it’s the 2000’s nor have duplicate daemons around to do stuff that systemd does in 1/4 of the resources and with less bugs.

I don’t really get this type of “media” bullshit articles. Yes, Windows is becoming progressively worse with more annoyances but you also have more simple to use tools than ever to disable those annoyances in bulk.

For the average user is far simpler to just run W10 Privacy, CTT or some other tool to disable all the annoying Windows features than it is to move to Linux and face all the major pain points people usually have around software compatibility and missing xyz very specific that isn’t really the same thing under Linux.

There you go, fixed the Windows problem for you in a few clicks, no need to download an entire new OS and complain afterwards.

If you want to get the job (of publishing a blog) done fast, and move on, then use WP. If you want to mess around probably look at editorjs.io.

At least WP is free, Ghost is as “free” until you find out its only useful with the rest of the payed platform. editorjs.io is much better in that sense.

Yeah Microsoft for what’s worth does play ball, you can open complaints and they’ll actually read those and act fast. Google is a total pain to deal with, even if you’re on some type of google partnership they’ll not do much.

I don’t disagree with you but… it also provides a cohesive ecosystem of tools to manage linux. What we had before was a poorly integrated mess of smaller tools that was just too hard to maintain and sometimes use.

Besides not all systemd components come out of the box with the base binary, some have to be installed if you need them. And no, it doesn’t get in the way. :)

It’s also good to make notes on every configuration setting.

I do save my settings for the various programs in a git repository…

If it need documentation means things are over the line when comes to complexity and I should scale down / simplify. :)

Complexity and over-engineering are a serious problem, I really try to keep it as simple as possible so I don’t have to waste time managing it, dealing with updates and potential security issues. Simple code/infrastructure breaks less and has less potential insecure points.

Unless someone finds a way to advertise nodes that doesn’t depend on the entry point then yes. Consider this example: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/1b2460bd5824170ab85757e35f81197199cce9d6/src/chainparams.cpp#L112 if someone takes down those domains it is game over for a new node until someone updates the code.

I get your point, those systems make it harder to take down things permanently but they aren’t as resilient and perfect as people paint them to be - an it has nothing to do with being pedantic, it is just the reality of things.

My point was: if you still need some central point of contact what’s the point in decentralized, you can still get fucked.

For instance the DHT systems you talk about, they’re good but still require some centralized points. In a bittorrent network with DHT a new client cannot join without either a tracker or the knowledge of at least one member of the network to exchange peers with. Bitcoin still has some hardcoded DNS seeds in the core client… etc.

bittorrent decentralization

True bittorrent decentralization never happened.

There’s no real / true decentralization. You’re always dependent on something, somewhere in some way. It can be harder to shut it down but there’s also a point of failure somewhere. Blockchain is all fun and games until you’ve to consider resource waste and that you still need DNS and IPs working.

Apple should be fined to the ground for this bullshit.
