SerenityOS takes a lot from the win9x era of GUI design (with a little bit of classic Mac sprinkled in here and there).

People under extreme mental stress tend not to act rationally.

There's a chart (referenced from [0]) in TFA.

You’re right, they should just unquestioningly report on every latest shiny thing without talking about the negatives. That’s journalism, right?

> ClearTypefont display technology

Did it get renamed? I thought it was just called ClearType?

So enraged that it makes you write a blog post with profanities in red, bold type no less!

Sure, but it's pretty obvious that plastic experts would be talking about plastic recycling in particular.

OK, fair.

>KDE isn't "German"

Sure, its contributors are from all over, but

* It was started by a German living in Germany while a student at a German university

* Its current-day non-profit backing org[1] - which owns the KDE trademark and represents it in legal matters - is headquartered in Berlin.

Many of us were "there" in the sense that we were interested in FOSS desktops at the time. What does "there" mean in your case, and would you like to share a bit more?

I can't stand Musk but this author lays the disdain on a little too thick IMO. Simply reporting the moronic stuff he does is good enough, there really isn't any need to be quite this snarky about it.

Monzo gives me 4.6% instant-access and I manage it from the same app I manage my current account in. My savings are fairly modest so it really doesn't seem worth the bother to shop around for an extra ~0.4%.

The way the water/gas etc come in through a custom-designed assembly is so cool. Blew my mind.

My favourite is the verb mesmerize, which is named after physician Franz Mesmer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Mesmer

<obligatory "macOS is Unix">

> It really is just for general populace who are too gullible to know better

I know you didn't mean it this way but this is an incredibly funny way of putting it. "The globalists don't want you to know this, but the shopping carts at Publix are free..."

> had a chip encrypted on the motherboard

what does this mean?

My comment was aimed both at the author and the "dark mode lobby" they are complaining about.

Seriously, it's your computer, just use whatever setup you prefer. If someone comments, make fun of them for caring about what you use on your machine.

I like pastel colourschemes e.g. https://github.com/catppuccin/catppuccin.

>It’s probably hard to see the green-on-black terminal while wearing sunglasses in your neon-lit office cubicle

My vision is augmented.

What a ridiculous thing to care about. Just use whatever you think looks good. Jeez.

Raycast is great, I agree.

Warp... last time I tried it (very recently) it wanted me to log in before I could use it. Log in. To a terminal emulator.

I like macOS's window management in general but this is a good point. The dot indicators on the dock tell you whether an application is running, which on macOS doesn't necessarily mean it has any windows open. Clicking a dock icon results in a different action based on whether the application does have open windows, which is not visually indicated.

Hair, as in the main shaft outside of the follicle, is mostly keratin and doesn't contain any DNA at all.

To be fair, it's Slavoj Zizek. Not exactly a nobody, and he has a pretty big platform already. He's known for provocative titles like this.

This anglosphere obsession with single-word concepts in other languages like they're somehow transcendant things that don't exist in the English-speaking world (see also: Ikigai, Hygge, etc) has to stop. It's cringe.

You're not thinking like a modern *aaS company. I'm waiting for subscription-based pacemakers. $9.95/mo for up to 60 beats per minute or $19.95 for unlimited heartbeats. Sign up for a year now and get an additional 3 months free :)

IMO podcasts have nothing to do with music, and the fact that people expect one app to do both is entirely Spotify's fault!

UX looks slick enough, but is there really a market for yet another extensible markdown editor (for $10/mo!) when we have the likes of Obsidian et al.?

The 2nd gen iPod Mini is fairly easy to work on. I have one with a 64 GB SD card and a new battery.
