>gtk is a joke>qt is a bloated and nonfreeHow do we save Linux desktop?
>>107645085Haiku is pretty stable but no point in developing for something nobody will ever use
Irix solved all of these issues decades ago. It's funny to watch how impossible it is to create a custom gtk theme from scratch. Default gtk.css file has 10,000+ lines in it. How does that even happen?

proprietary software is not inherently evil. There is nothing wrong with for example an indie game dev working on a game for months and then releasing it and wanting payment for it. Literally nothing wrong with that. Yes he has to keep the source code hidden and maybe even obfuscate the binary because if he didn't then people would just crack or download it for free. Yes he may need to put restriction checks in so you can only run it on one PC. Nothing here is evil, you are free to not buy it.Imagine you called a banana farmer evil because after spending weeks and weeks harvesting his banana trees he was charging for them at the local market. Imagine telling him he should allow people to go up to his banana stand and just take as many bananas as they want without paying. Imagine trying to claim he could techincally still make money by selling the bananas for money, he would just also have to allow people to take them free of charge at the same time. Morons.

why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks
>>107640319sounds like Rust in its entirety
>>107640271You being a retard with method B creates 10x the rework after you're fired.
>>107640271I recently joined a C++ help group and while a bit particular about stuff, the help I got was great because they spoonfed me a bunch of C++ concepts, more each time I produced real examples of what I was trying to do.Loved it honestly, I'll go back in a jiffy when I program in C++ again.
>>107640271The question answerer has an XY problem. They want to control the other person, but that's the asker's role.
>>107640808>paid money to be told to do it yourselfCollege is legit a scam. A couple months studying by yourself in a free library is worth more than years of shitty power point presentations and tens of thousands of dollars. It's only when you get to the top of the advanced classes which have special or difficult knowledge that it makes sense to have classes.
>made full offline backups of all my video games and software>canceled Spotify and went back to downloading music>forgot I already have ~6000 songs that are completely unsorted, some have low bitrates, ripped from Youtube, downloaded from Kazaa, screen recorded, etc. and need to be renamed, metadata'd, and in some cases redownloaded in higher qualityFuck.

>>107643089would you be kind to elaborate, my dear anon? :3
>>10764558312*spotify sub*5 years = $500+ which could have been spent on an HDD storing those. the reason people sub is to support the music machine, also it comes with a huge library etc.

>>107641767Why in the fuck would they need them? Nobody, not even google, is hiring programmers and software engineers any longer. Lawyers, programmers, IT consultants, software architects,... - that's all completely gone. They must be planning to use them to accelerate datacenter construction, but jeets can't build anything of high quality, it's going to be a massive failure.
>>107645821google will get assfucked when all their stuff fails like microsoft. they're both zombies. I do like the AI mode in the google search bar, but that's cause noone else indexes the internet as fast so far. all their other products are absolute trash and you should never get trapped in their ecosystem. degoogle.
>>107641901Because they paid for it.

>>107639695The part of collecting and probably selling all your shopping history to a third party.
>>107641106Stores already do that with their own apps. When you're close to the store, the prices for products magically drop, but when you enter the store, they magically raise back up. Even with shopping apps like Instacart, they set the price based on an algorithm, so you can pay a higher price than someone using the app right next to you. Once you realize that 100% of shit in this world is fake & gay, you stop caring.

AI bros are stealing art from 10 year old kids, what the fuck
>>107646328>Why are pro-AI people so anti-people?The "pro-AI" """people""" are all dysgenic tecchie adjacents whose obsession with technology stems from resentment against reality, especially their sad corner of the reality of the human condition. They unironically believe technology is magic and if they worship it hard enough it will help them transform the world to suit them better and take revenge against nature and its genetic winners.

>>107646435well yeah, but he's good at it anyway, and it's a lot of valuable information in less than 2 minutes video
>>107646453It's not really valuable, that's a stability nightmare, running 106Mhz FSB is just asking for filesystem corruption. He's also running 1:2 mode, MCLK is 4200Mhz, UCLK is 2100Mhz, so even though he's running 8400Mhz CL36, his actualy latency is still 63ns, which is equivalent to or even slightly worse than good 6000Mhz CL30 (which can hit ~58-62ns).

Where did it all go so wrong?
Use Linux and make a desktop that looks right for you with themes/configs. That's what I do. It's not even that hard, just takes a little time and elbow grease. Which is worth it for a "space" that you're spending a lot of time in.
>>107644162>>107644161I still don't understand one thing: why rounded corners and Fisher Price aesthetic are a thing? It represents offensive design language. If you have ever been to a psych ward in a civilized country, they have sort of weird interiors along with rounded corners etc because it's supposedly easier for the patients.No real designer would willingly create anything with round shapes or at least when it is associated with typography and usability.

MOM! YouTube broke Tubular again. And newpipeAnd pipepipeAnd noutubeAnd libretubeAnd materialious works but if you like listening to music or anything in the background, it shuts off as soon as you switch focus or turn off the screen. Still better than getting served ads in a browser, I guess.
