  • 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?





  • 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.









  • Oh, the massive loan fraud situation, corporate poatching of talent and patents, the fact that most collages are run by a bunch of greedy, nepotistic fucks, whose concern for acedemia begins and ends with football teams.

    The slow moving enshitification has been going on for years, and soon people who want to be taken seriously in the market place will either avoid US collages altogether or go to foreign collages.

    Uni’s will be fine, but collages? Without management reform, we’ll be seeing a downward curve regarding their legitimacy - from an academic point of view, of course.



  • But then who decides if the patient is of sound mind?

    Professional psychiatrists, the family and the individual… like seriously. Do you think the process is easy? Go on, brew some coffee or tea and then sit to search how certain countries handle dignified end of life.

    See how that process is usually a long series of tests, conversations and verification. It’s not “let’s pop down to the doctors and get grandma euthanised”. It’s an insane amount of beurocracy and a lot of time before you even get close to a due date, and even then you can cancel at any time.

    I think people need to get more informed about this issue, because you can’t exactly form an opinion without seeing how something like that can work IRL, when it’s been proven to work IRL. More people are accepting of it and a lot of pain and heartache will be spared because of it, because at the end of the day it’s about dignity.

    Forcing people to continue when they can have no life to continue, when they are a financial and emotional burden on their families and unable to actually grow and live, like an actual person, like me and you. To force them to just sit there, like a potted plant, like a doll you put away on the shelf when you return to your life. That is selfish, that is undignified.


  • That’s the same thinking that allows governments to justify poking holes in cryptography, only in reverse. “Oh we have to catch the terrorists and the PDF files.” Oh yeah? What about the journalists, the political dissidents, the leakers? All swept under the same rug.

    Saying that some people who will abuse the privelige is kind of wild though. Imagine going through the process for what, 4 years… 6 years, if getting a dignified end in the Netherlands, being constantly monitored by psychiatrists and talking with family members, as if it’s as easy as getting a smoke.

    In fact, that’s a great episode idea for South Park. Cartman disappears for a few years and we only get glimpses of him facetiming the boys from the Netherlands, because he’s ¼ Dutch (half the broncos have Dutch family lines) - and Cartman absolutely hates the Dutch. After 2 years, he gets bored and comes home.


  • Good. The right to a dignified end of life should not be infringed when the conditions of living are unbearable.

    Those who want some people to sit around and suffer, to not be able to participate in anything, to be a high maintenance ornament in someone’s life, because they feel it’s morally incorrect to give someone peace, need to get their heads checked and their morals examined pronto.

    Forcing someone other than yourself to suffer because of your morals is sociopathic. You don’t live that life, so you don’t get to decide. You already have your own priveliged life to decide over. It’s not your right to decide what other people do with theirs, even if you’re close family. If a person is of sound mind and wants to start that long, beurocratic laden process, then so be it.

    There should be barrier to entry, but not a complete ban.
