Ooh that’s a good point. I mean, not Linux Mint because as thanksforallthefish said below it’s not a Mint-supported DE but I actually installed Arch (btw) with the KDE Plasma DE onto an old laptop I have and yeah it definitely gives early-2010s OS X vibes. :)

That’s legit.

I hate GNOME because it feels like an iPhone.

That’s fair.

I don’t know much about what Ubuntu is doing but it surely can’t be that bad.

You would be surprised.

Yeah…

See, I used to like Ubuntu, but then Canonical had to ruin it for me by betraying the principles that Linux stands for.

Ubuntu is a shadow of its former self, and it saddens me. :(

You know, I can see that.

Still, mac users use macs because they just want the computer to work.

And the Cosmic DE is rather new so can be a bit buggy from time to time. It might look mac-friendly, but its stability is still largely untested so caution may be advised before recommending it in my opinion.

Ubuntu is heresy. Canonical hath turned against the users.

Also, I’m genuinely curious: why do you hate GNOME?

They didn’t say beeteedubs so clearly not.

If she’s a Windows refugee, Linux Mint.

If she’s a Mac refugee, fuck if I know.

If she’s a IBM OS/2 refugee, please let me know how to get the drugs she’s gotten. I want in.

I get panicky from time to time.

Then I try to remind myself of my threat model.

It helps me to re-center myself.

In a storm of emotion, logic can be my rock.

So I guess you could say it’s…Metadata?

I 100% agree, but to be fair, in some jobs there really isn’t much to do. Lol.

With dumbphones, you’re usually limited to regular phone calls or SMS/MMS messaging.

That’s kind of the point.

Sure, you can’t do much with them, but by that very fact you also won’t have nearly as much data to be spied on.

Likewise, you can do much more with a smartphone, but that comes with a much higher surface of attack, and you also have to work a lot harder to keep all the data away from spying.

Sorry for the late reply (it’s been a busy week at work), but yeah, unfortunately, not all software supports that method. For instance, it doesn’t seem to work on Matrix when using either Element (desktop) or FluffyChat (Android). So, I just got into the habit of do it that way everywhere because at least most places seem to support it. Lol.

Because there doesn’t seem to be any other way to have line breaks show up. Lol.

See? This line is actually separated after the above one by two lines.

It’s no trouble! I’m happy to explain! ^_^

Lol that sounds about right. As someone who works in retail (please kill me now), I can def tell you that people don’t pay attention.

That’s something I did not know. Thanks for educating me!

Well that’s interesting! :O

I’ve tried it and it’s a little too barebones for my needs.

I also do, unfortunately, care about layers.

But I appreciate the suggestion! <3

I definitely don’t mind trying new things, but that site says it’s a photo editor. A photo editor is not at all the same thing as a general-use raster editor like Pinta, GIMP, or Paint.\NET.
