Happy birthday 🎉🎂

You should use Arch, btw

Part of being a developer is solving your problems and reduce complexity in a very complex field. So I guess when you want to be a good dev, most of that is part of your learning experience.

To your skills. I may suggest do what you like to do. Wanna tinker with Linux and systems? C/C++ or Rust may be a good start. Webdev? Have a look at typescript. Or just do some stuff in python (it’s really fun)

If you do not know what you like. No problem, just play around with stuff and find out what you like.

If you get stuck on something, THEN is moment to reach out for help. You hardly will have to pay for advice, there is always a helpful hand if you can describe what your problem is.

Apps looking odd or not is the job of the main drawing framework.

Qt themes are able to draw GTK but GTK can not draw Qt actually proves my point.

Switching the UI framework sounds like a massive refactor.

Qt is by far the better framework. This could also be a chance to implement a super UI/UX, it could also be a complexity hell. I will have a look at the project, let’s see if the outcome wil be a better product.

Ahh that makes sense.

Am I too stupid to understand the X Axes? 1Day, 1Week… that makes no sense at all

Sometimes is it worth to rethink the problem. Especially when your condition is based on set-members. Using quantor logic often simplifies the condition :

return 
    any(x for x in X if x==condition_a) 
    or all(y for y in Y if y==condition_b) 
    and all(x for x in X if x==condition_c)

I am not sure if JS has something similar, but this often helps by a lot

Ubuntu tries to be baught from Microsoft. They need one centralized (unfree) way of income to get money out of their customers. This is the reason for snap, their proprietary AppStore.

Tldr? Leave you fools. Leave!

Thunderbird

I mean you can (client side). But the protocol is agnostic of any encryption.

Xmpp is not encrypted. So sorry but without that, your sentence makes no sense at all.

Sabayon. It worked perfectly till I tried to update some stuff 💣

This was one the most stable and at the same time the most unstable distribution I ever tried.

Thank you for that story. I genuinely had tears of joy in my eyes

😫

No successful company would host their stuff on NT. Even Microsoft is aware of that.

You may have a look at bigwig. It isn’t exactly Fruity loops but is also a very suitable DAW and runs native on Linux.

For music: if (and that’s a big if) Spotify does not fuck that up they’ll have the majority of people off the harbours.

They deliver exactly what people asked for when it was common to pirate music. A monthly affordable fee, +90% of the music available and no advertising. If neither of these three variables are changing, there will be no big group pirating music anymore.

Let’s roooooope

I tried hyprland. It’s okish and very (very) colorful.

For a tiling wm it’s just over complex and does not integrate well with other tools. The configuration is a nightmare tbh.

If you want to get your fingers dirty on tiling WM using Wayland Sway is just fine. It’s minimalistic and feels almost like i3.
