Is “superficiality” not valuable in UI design? I look at these other DE settings UIs and they’re an absolute mess. GNOME could do better also, but I pretty much can find everything common in an obvious place, and the more weird options are somewhere I can also find them, typically in GNOME tweaks.

In effect everything about UI design could be called superficial. But humans operate based on “superficial” things all the time. I could use a terminal to do many more things than I do (which is already a lot) but as a human I’m kinda evolved to operate visually, so I often opt for that. Nothing wrong with it.

Yes, and I prefer GNOME once it was modernized and made to look like it was not designed by 1990s developers (who are NOT designers, and it shows).

If the point is the GIMP’s name hurts it and Photoshop’s does not, I can fully agree to that.

Photoshop is not popular because of its name. It’s popular because it’s very powerful and was one of the first on the market. I’m sure there were a lot of anti competitive moves over the years also. But it’s not due to the name.

I’m not sure what this means. But wow what an instance name.

Alas, we cannot sue for wrong opinions :/

I dunno about the resource hog comment especially. I run it on a raspberry pi 5 just fine, and at least compared to mac os and windows 10, it always feels snappier to me on all the hardware I have been able to try multiple options on.

All I know is those older forks look like 1998.

Ok it’s weird enough I’ve seen one of these in person but now I’m pretty sure I’ve seen two different posts featuring it.

I mean, everyone liked XP and most everyone tried to keep using it years after Microsoft wanted us to stop. Everyone hated vista.

But modern gnome is excellent. My joke was trying to point out that hating it while liking the old version seems like a uniquely old man thing to do, just hating change for being change

Stream of consciousness. Ok …

Lol you’re going to get a junior position, use ai, break some shit and get fired inside 6 weeks. You enjoy that and I’ll keep earning money actually knowing how code works.

When did you stop using XP?

Tagged for future reference. Enjoy your pit of misery.

Yeah you gotta start blocking those communities. I’ve probably blocked 50 at this point and Lemmy is 100 times better without the stream of weird drawings of half naked teenagers

Probably need a spoiler tag… As this is, NSFW or something? Honestly no idea what is going on here

Lol that’s horrifying

Windows 10! Hell no I’m on windows 3.11 before they ruined everything!!

It’s pretty obvious you know absolutely nothing about code lol

No developer I’ve ever met is afraid for their job because we’ve all tried these tools and know how limited their use is right now. Vibe coding morons will not be replacing anyone anytime soon, not successfully anyhow.

If you had any intuition whatsoever you’d probably know that this post only exists because the lutris developer was an asshole about it.

Also, not everyone is 17. Even if AI managed to replace me a year from now, I’ll be fine. But I appreciate the horrific level of ill will you seem to enjoy hurling at a stranger because you talked out of your ass and they pushed back

I actually think she looks hotter as a natural woman instead of more like someone posing artificially

I am with you, but I think too many weirdos actually care. At least when it comes to body shaming on the Internet, they do.
