I just don't get what Ebassi has against desktop icons. How can he not see any use case for those. It's baffling.
>>109085128>It's baffling.imagine trying to comprehend autism.you cant, nobody can.
Can you provide a use case for desktop icons?
>>109085128Usecase for using a computer in a way that's even the slightest bit different from how I use it?
>>109085128MacOS has the most practical desktop system.Crazy how linux DE's won't copy this feature (it was added in 2018)
>>109085128Leave MY ebussy alone, I love him for who he is. Please only create ebussy appreciation >>109085128threads from now on.t. gnome user
>>109085178I use my desktop as a temporary folder for things I'll delete once I'm done working on them. The Home/Documents folders are for storing things that I actually care about.
>>109085305the dedicated place for this is /dev/shm or /tmp
Ebassi is just a retard. He is not smart enough to understand the usecase for desktop icons. Ebassi doesn't think.
>>109085128Use case for seeing use cases?
>>109085128desktop icons are gay, I disable them everywhere, even on my mobile.Ebased is right on this one
ebassi is secrety enlightenment fan a gnome desktop icon is just necessary evil
>>109085128He doesn't mean that, nobody is so retarded to hate desktop icons
>>109086303I hate desktop icons. i don't need a file manager open behind my windows at all times thanks.
you're more than free to use an extension for that purpose
>>109085128Use case for individuality? Resistance is deprecated.
>>109086366How about... if I don't want things on my desktop I don't put things on my desktop? Ebassi can not comprehend this.
>>109086366Why would you desecrate ebussy's hard work like that?
>>109085142>imagine trying to comprehend autism.I don't really think it's autism, I think it's just pure ego and God complex.Like, he knows better than the literal subhumans who use what he produces.
>>109085178Macos wouldn't need all that shit if they decided not to store screenshots and add every removable device and mounted installer images to the desktop.
>>109085128use case for clarity?
>>109086453MacOS understands desktop exactly, it's a temporary place for assorted things. Ebassi is sociopath aspergers, there is no such thing as temporary to him, he can not comprehend why anyone would ever leave a fork on the table when color coded box labeled "forks" exists so he tard rages the table away.
Desktop icons are just a folder you can't close. The desktop is for windows, not files and folders.
Desktop icons clash with the way gnome uses virtual desktops.
Why the fuck do you need desktop icons? He's right.
>>109085128You don't need them. I went from having them on Windows to none with GNOME on Linux and I get it. You simply don't need them with GNOME.
>>109087102You don't need them with any OS. The desktop is bloated garbage
>>109085128>I just don't get what Ebassi has against desktop iconsnothing. he literally only ever worked on gtk and nothing else.
>>109086511>Ebassi is sociopath aspergers, there is no such thing as temporary to him, he can not comprehend why anyone would ever leave a fork on the table when color coded box labeled "forks" exists so he tard rages the table away.I have diagnosed aspergers syndrome and this is probably the best description I've heard in a long time.
>>109086453You can just change screenshot folder
>>109085305i thought i was the only one. anything on my desktop gets moved/deleted once i no longer need it
>>109085128Let me guess, you need more
You don't need it. And most importantly, if you have an ugly cluttered mess of icons on your desktop, that desecrates our beautiful work of art that is the GNOME desktop and spoils our grand vision.
/g/ defending desktop icons? did all my frens really leave this place behind?
>>109085128As much as I like to meme on him, Ebussy is a high IQ autismchad who's right about desktop icons (and most other things).
>>109090271/g/ was never a monoculture of people who hate desktop icons, I've almost certainly been on /g/ longer than you (since 2005) and desktop icons have always been part of my workflow.
>>109085167He streams? Where can I watch him.
>>109090289>convenience is... LE BAD
>>109085178Desktop icons are a terrible design. Every linux system with an application launcher/universal search tool is far better. Imagine hiding the window you're looking at just so you can look at your desktop and click on things. The application launcher pops up on top of your window, does it job and then goes away.Windows users on the other hand have trauma from the terrible start menu searcher which is slow and broken so they dont know better.But dont mac users also use an application launcher now? whatever its called
>>109090251he's not that much of a blockhead
>>109090293lolicons are big on desktop icons, noted
>>109090339>Imagine hiding the window you're looking at just so you can look at your desktop and click on things. That made more sense in the 80s and 90s. These days you rarely need to run windows in fullscreen, and pretty much everyone has multiple monitors.A desktop is just a quick access folder with more organization. Why open up my file manager, navigate to "Documents" then open "Todo.txt" or whatever when I can just move my cursor to the right and click a text file?Why clutter the limited sidebar in my file manager with a bunch of "favorites" when I can just put a shortcut on my desktop?
I think ebassi is making threads on himself for some reason, or maybe some shizo that keeps making threads about him
>>109090316he used to https://www.youtube.com/@ebassi/videosunironically not a bad place to look for GTK development
>>109090487>A desktop is just a quick access folder with more organization.

File managers are mostly deprecated
>>109090778I'm not remembering and typing in a bunch of file names for my mostly temporary desktop files or reminders.
>>109090575ebussy is a MASOCHIST he loves to post about himself and jerks off to all the negative comments. he actually gets off to this stuff, no joke. but the meme is funny so play along and we can get more ebussy memes.
>>109090005Yeah, things right there on desktop reminding what I'm supposed to work on with a glance without descending into directory structures or opening an app. also>gnome has desktop directoryreally? what's the use case for desktop directory if there is no use case for desktop? checkmate Ebassi
>>109090462lol icons
>>109085128ebussy, what's the use case for wasted space on a desktop?
>>109091309god damn those /f/ shitpostskek
>>109085317Then you have to open up a folder to see your temporary files instead of minimizing the current application you have open, you stupid ass licking wad of fuck paste.
>>109086511picrel but unironically
My life improved once I did away with desktop icons.
