Wow

I wanted something over the top and colorful, the icons did the job.

I use gTile. Use with caution though, I think it broke my setup and I logged into a blank purple screen.

Indeed! Had to restore to defaults after I rebooted because gnome logged me in a blank purple screen. :D

Haha, I have never seen garuda before. :D

Looks good. I would like to test cosmic whenever I have the time.

Try Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. One of the best books I’ve ever read and is more or less what you are describing.

I read Solaris recently and was genuinely blown away. Anything from Ursala le Guin is also an excellent choice although I would suggest “the Dispossessed”.

The EU is rapidly becoming a neoliberal hellehole resembling the US. I no longer have any hope for existing institutions resisting corporate encroachment. Best that can be done is the support of initiatives like the fediverse and foss in general but if the current trend continues even that is in a precarious position.

Title sounds like a civ notification.

Oxygen not included

The thing with anything these corpos are doing is that it suddenly becomes a cultural trend for the next week or so, and every techbro and marketbro talks about it all the time. I have been trying to distance myself from this bullshit for a while now but it I find it impossible to do so. Even here we constantly talk about these idiots. No matter how much we make jokes out of them, simply coming in contact with the shit these billionaires have in their heads is indeed depressing. These people are the ruling class of the entire humanity and the best they can do for culture is idiotic social media platforms and ads.

Haha true that. This was inevitable btw, the further capitalism develops the more its will absorb everything. Religion is done for, community is done for, bourgie democracy is dying, next come nationality I guess, the environment is already compromised. It truly is a vampiric black hole.

Well it is Bourgeois democracy that’s slowly been consumed by corporate power. Globally

I like Marx and am iffy about Lenin. I also consider myself a libertarian regarding most issues and dislike hedonism. That doesn’t put me somewhere specific regarding ideology but that’s that.

Hahahahahaha this is great

As a non technical user that has switched to Ubuntu from Windows, Linux is light years ahead. Any os without a decent package manager like apt or flatpak is unusable for me and that’s without mentioning the ads…
