I always wonder where are the mothers of these shitty young men?

Like.

If I even thought of going into a misogynistic phase during my younger years, my mother would have put me in my place, yanno?

Are anglo mothers less sprited than latin american mothers?

You're the one lying. Gnome 46. That's when it was added.

"Location entry on click" and "Detailed timestamps for files" listed proudly as "features" as if they aren't default on every file manager that doesn't treat its users like babies too dumb to use their computers.

Thanks, I was going to post a very similar rant.

The "just works" argument IS a valid one and they would have a point -- IF Gnome's defaults were in any way sensible. They aren't. The entire workflow is a nightmare. (I made the apple comparison -- Well, uhh... MacOS is also a walled garden that doesn't let you change shit, but at least it's got very decent defaults)

Gnome's file manager didn't let you type in FOLDER ADDRESSES until a few months ago, ffs. And sure you could, even then, use an alternative file manager.

.... But at that point you are fucking with the premise of "just works", because you will need to use non-default stuff.

Gnome in general is undeniably made competently by competent and talented people. If it wasn't, it would break a lot more.

Those competent and talented people also managed to make extremely bad choices at every turn, and seem ideologically opposed to the idea of customization, resulting in an environment that is fundamentally painful to use unless you very specifically fit the box of what they expect users to be like.

It sort of feels like an Apple product, in that sense. Very well-made, but god forbid you don't want to do things exactly as they say you should

Now I hate Gnome

But:

  1. Harrassing the creators is cringe, even if they make (undeniably-very-competently-made-but-by-virtue-of-dumb-choices-rendered-into) bad computer programmes
  2. Wayland is good actually, Gnome or otherwise.

I'm old enough to remember when these were called 'Accelerator Cards'.

Title. While doing some other work, he realised that underneath the console where his TV went, there were a bunch of cables from past-inhabitants-of-this-house's cable TV setups.

He reasoned he'd solve this by sawing off those unseemly white cables, thus opening space for new stuff.

Except... The ethernet cable that connected the internet router to the Switch that routed it all over the house, connecting to our shared family homeserver and such? Yeah, it was also white, and also down there.

So. My dear ol' dad took a saw to his internet. And chopped it down. Now he'll need to call someone to run the cables through the walls again (this is Brazil. Walls are solid concrete. Running new cables through walls is NOT easy!)

EDIT: It is fixed. And all it took was me and the technician spending 8 hours running around the apartment, pushing/pulling cables into/from holes in the wall, and yelling "DO YOU SEE ANY MOVEMENT?"

Title. It's very easy to find films in the original language or subbed. The megathread has plenty. But I want to build up a collection of kid-appropriate and Brazilian dubbed films for my nephew.
