GIMP doesn’t mean anything though (besides for GNU Image Manipulation Program)? Why are you bringing it up?

I would also recommend the chatbot HuggingChat, it uses open weights models

I haven’t tried it myself, but isn’t GTK supposed to be good at that?

I’m not wealthy by any means, but I’ve made the choice I’m not going to sell information to people. If necessary I’ll sell my labour to companies, which may include creating information, but outside of a job if I create something, it’s free for anyone to use.

People can have standards, unless they would literally die otherwise in which case do what you can to survive. But I doubt the authors of that book are in such a situation.

That’s no excuse, Walled Culture is available as a DRM free, gratis ebook. If they wanted to make it free, they could’ve.

I think most birth doctors know how to help a trans man give birth.

Most local AI apps have cuda support for local GPU, only a few have rocm

Windows 10 wasn’t even on my list as it is not a modern OS any more (it has been replaced by Windows 11), but even so it had a better UI, without those weird UI features that just serve to look bad

• floating taskbar at the bottom, not actually at the bottom, above it
• those blue highlights around widgets that do not look good
• that horrible off white colour for widgets
• general bad design

And of course windows 11 and GNOME improve with even more UI features

• blur
• transparency that actually looks good
• rounded corners that look good

Basically, it’s not one specific thing that makes KDE look bad, but rather their general approach to design, which seems to be ‘we don’t care what we’re doing, we’ll just set the default to something random as we expect users to customise it anyway’ which is fine for advanced users, but not so friendly to new users

It might be GNOME or it might be Windows 11 (although of the Linux ones it’s still GNOME), but KDE is clearly (subjectively) the most ‘programmer art’ of the 3

Maybe unintuitive is the wrong word, but for new users the amount of options can be overwhelming, and the UI looks… not very modern by default, lol

It’s a big abstract to understand, are you trying to say that there are Linux enthusiasts that protest GUIs being made simple and intuitive, and that if they succeed, would-be Linux users will go back to Windows, which is more intuitive?

Maybe for KDE, but just introduce new users to GNOME, that’s perfectly intuitive and even looks great!

What?

Libraries are important to free exchange of information, it’s dangerous to not have librarians.

Mastodon is corporate social media?

Is this an April Fools joke?

Lol

Honestly default GNOME is probably less confusing than this for old people, and even less confusing once you customise it a little.

Seriously, this is good effort! But anything based on XFCE or Plasma is going to look technical and confusing.

Sorry, I should have mentioned in the post: curl worked by itself, just not with curlftpfs. Someone else suggested using rclone, so I’m going to try that

Yeah, I tried without the mount point too, but I think that’s just the same as what Nautilus does. There is nothing under /run/user/1000/gvfs

aarvi@fedora:~$ gio mount ftp://jack101:correct%20password@oncilla.mythic-beasts.com /mnt/jack101
gio: file:///mnt/jack101: volume doesn’t implement mount
gio: ftp://jack101@oncilla.mythic-beasts.com/: Location is already mounted

I think it is already mounted, but under the annoying computer:/// virtual directory, not where I want it, and what does it mean by ‘volume doesn’t implement mount’?
