  • XFCE + Compiz

    The unholy combination of accelerated 3D graphics and performance, all without the stupid drawbacks of wayland.

    Runs much lighter than KDE even with all the 3D cube and windows stuff enabled.

    Extremely customizable as well. XFCE already does a great job of UI/UX, it just lacks a compositor to add flare (xfwm4 has no animations, only some blur effects).

    Actually no, it’s just that the programs on Linux usually accept SIGINT, SIGTERM, etc pretty gracefully. Some are even smart enough to handle it on a thread hang. SIGKILL is last resort.

    Lots of Windows applications like to ignore the close request because Windows doesn’t have signals and instead you can only pass a window name to request exit which is the same as clicking the close button.

    So any hung software won’t respond and you have to terminate it.

    Systemd ignored my calendar override for the builtin raid scanner, so every week my server would chug to a halt to scan the entire array.

    In true systemd fashion, the documentation could not explain this behavior, so I had to make a full copy override instead of a merge override because reasons.

    Not unless I need to get some info from a niche country sub that barely exists on lemmy

    And even then no login, read only.

    Much prefer messing around here. I only just got my first ban from NCD because I said the US would prevent Ukraine from joining NATO which kind of made me look like a Russian shill which I assume is the #1 spam NCD receives.

    Otherwise I have really enjoyed being able to share my opinion without getting admin/mod banned, even on communities and instances with a lopsided set of users.

    I have pissed off both ml and world users which is funny because they each claimed I was from the opposite instance. But no such thing as shadowban or user nuking. I can actually discuss things here in detail, as well as receive quality posts from all of you :)



  • I wonder if any of this will at all backfire for Israel in the near future, especially considering they have the complete backing of the USA.

    Serbia’s genocide backfired when the Bosnians suddenly started covertly receiving ATGMs via Pakistan which changed the tide of the war.

    I just don’t see that happening here when Gaza doesn’t even have a friendly/neutral neighbor to the south, let alone a country willing to actually help. Egypt doesn’t even want to take refugees. Seems like Israel is just gonna steamroll ahead and we won’t even learn the full extent of the genocide for several decades :/
