I have the theme set to “Classic” and it just uses my Qt5ct theme.
🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Why are keyboards getting smaller?English2·2 years agoAs a small keyboard user myself, I made the switch because I wasn’t using those keys anyways and the few that I were could easily be handled with layers. I have one of those desks with the sliding tray where the keyboard sits, so being able to free up space so the keyboard fits comfortably is nice.

🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm addicted to caring for my Linux distro, polishing things, optimising stuff it's so funny! Got some stories like that?English10·2 years agoI used to be constantly making tweaks to stuff and distrohopping like none other, but in 2018 I finally found THE setup and settled down. These days it’s all about having scripts that set things up exactly how I want them.

🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Chat@beehaw.org•How much does a creator's worldview influence whether you use their tech or consume their media?English8·2 years agoI generally avoid giving meaningful contributions to chuds when possible. I was considering getting a Kagi subscription before, but upon seeing this that is no longer the case.
Have you boycotted JKR
I was never a Harry Potter fan to begin with, but if I were then I would be, yeah.
or dropped your opinion about Picasso
I don’t expect people who died centuries ago to be woke, so probably not. That someone like Picasso would be racist/sexist/queerphobic is a default assumption for me, so that already lowkey colors my perception of them when analyzing their work.
Is it about the general vibe of a product or piece of media, or are you more discerning? What goes into this decision and why?
It’s about applying pressure to provoke capitulation. I want to make clear to both them and everyone watching that being a dipshit in such a way will cost them resources and reputation. This is less effective when the creator is dead, though, so I’m not particularly concerned about their art.
🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Firefox@lemmy.ml•What is Firefox's Use Case for Normies/Tech Illiterate People?English6·2 years agoDoes Windows software still do that shit where they bundle a bunch of irrelevant crap with whatever you’re trying to install? I don’t think normies actively think about browser choice and I’ve definitely found browsers that were installed on systems via what I mentioned above in the past.

Waybar just looks like a Wayland port of Polybar.
Hyprland’s Dwindle layout is based on bspwm, so why not try that?
In regular i3, that feature was added in version 4.22. You should use the i3-gaps fork on your distro if a package for it is available.
🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Where have all the websites gone?English7·2 years agoPerhaps we need a federated search engine - one you can add custom algorithms to…
Well, something that can be done is having search engines that grab from a wide variety of sources. The go-to FOSS example of this would be SearXNG, so if someone is interested in a project like that, then this would be a good starting point.
🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Where have all the websites gone?English59·2 years agoI agree with the author for the most part, but I don’t think it’s just “us.” I would say that discoverability in general is just a lot worse now due to SEO gentrification and search engines facing enshittification. There’s still cool projects like Neocities around, but if it weren’t for networking I’d have no idea they exist. When I type “build a website” into DuckDuckGo and StartPage, I just get links to squarespace, wix, godaddy, and a few listicles. In order to curate cool stuff, you have to be able to find it first; have new tools popped up that facilitate this? What are the new heuristics for discovery?
🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Why Linux is Best for Most PeopleEnglish8·2 years agoI put my boomers on Fedora with GNOME a couple years ago and there hasn’t been any issues with that. Especially now that a lot of stuff that used to be desktop apps has moved to the browser, it’s more viable than ever.
🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Humanities & Cultures@beehaw.org•the Amerian Dialect Society's 2023 Word of the Year Is “Enshittification”English3·2 years agoIt’s nice to see how much this term took off. Feels like this sort of thing just gets ignored most of the time.
🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•FOSS quality vs. non-free s/w qualityEnglish10·2 years agoThere’s always been absolute fucktons of proprietary software that’s buggy garbage. At this point even corporations have conceded the superiority of our development model and have adopted it themselves (even longtime foes like Microsoft). Honestly, most of FOSS’s problems could be dealt with by having a tighter relationship with UI/UX designers since that’s usually the biggest pain point.
🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•The State Of The Nintendo Switch In 2023English30·2 years agoClearly the wizards at Nintendo know something about optimizing games for the Switch that others don’t.
Could someone share this information with GameFreak? The beats shouldn’t drop as hard as the FPS.
🦊 OneRedFox 🦊@beehaw.orgOPMto Socialism@beehaw.org•Modern Liberalism Has Become a Defense of Hierarchy and Deference to ElitesEnglish11·2 years agoThe amount of open support for genocide/ethnic cleansing I’ve seen from even high profile liberals since October 7th has been rather disgusting as well. Fascism is bad except when it’s not, I guess.
Damn, never doubt their power.
