Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess

That’s some shitty ‘hacking’…

But what makes these shell commands ‘bash’ exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.

Also… why are ‘hackers’ always using a shell in some gui program?

This. Throwing your trash on the ground because you can’t find a trash can amounts to childish entitlement in my eyes.

No trash cans in the forest, is OP saying they just litter all through nature when they go camping?

Designers need to wake up and realize their job is to understand what the user wants not what they saw in a wet dream.

I missed this, someone have the TL;DR for the clueless?

I feel the same way about having to use Mac for work and going back to a Linux PC at the end of the day. God damn I hate Mac’s UX. From the entire UI, to the CMD key, to the fact that END functions as PGDN and goes to and of page instead of end of line.

There is absolutely nothing ‘Good’ about their will. Never has been.

Windows XP. I worked MSN tech support the year Blaster hit. I remember droning through the same repair steps every 15 minutes with caller after caller in a neverending stream that lasted for weeks.

After a couple of weeks of this, my coworkers and I had a weekend off together and we planned to party it up and blow off some steam with a LAN Party with Freelancer and beers. I had my comp all prepped and ready, it was freshly reinstalled and the game had been tested and benchmarked.

I came home from a long shift to find the one of the new Blaster variants, which used a new vulnerability that had not been patched until I had been at work that day. It had triggered so many reboots while I was at work it triggered NTFS corruption somehow. I had to reinstall… And I had done nothing to deserve that.

That virus fucking broke me. I went to work after that weekend and went to the Linux guru in Tier 3, and said “Teach me”.

I have never looked back with the exception of having to install it for a specific reason, and I’m usually appalled at the state of it. I just had to install Win 11 for a Google Cloud certification exam (DaFuq!?!?!) and with all the issues I encountered it took about 6 hours to get it ready for the exam. Win11 doesn’t come with network drivers anymore? Two NICs and a WiFi card in my machine, and none of them had drivers in the install. Nice to see we’ve gone full cycle back to Windows ME, except the OEM bloatware is a core part of the OS.

When my wife finally dropped Windows a month ago between the ads and recall, it marked the death of daily users of Windows in our house. I’m raising my kid on Linux.

Its a silly default. Might also be to allow people to edit /etc configs with the app since its a basic editor. With enough dummies complaining about “doesn’t work can’t access files in <directory>” the dev may have set that to reduce negative review bloat (seriously look at the flatpak and snap stores and the number of bad reviews due to people not understanding the permissions system).

I would be turning that off immediately until I knew how trustworthy the app was or not installing it, just saying I can see where that default setting might be coming from.

Flatpak could use a permissions prompting api, so a prompt could be displayed to the user when they try to access a file outside the permissions scope, but that’s probably a lot of work to get in place. Maybe something we’ll see in flatpak in a few years.

Until then I think there needs to be some way to point new users to Flatseal and a summary of what these warnings imply and how to grok them.

Sometimes when you get UI experts and users and engineers in the same room they iterate to similar outcomes because its the logical conclusion. Apples design in this case isn’t ground breaking or even original.

If multiple species of jumping spider can independently evolve the ability to see red from different branches of their family tree, multiple dev teams can come to the same conclusion about what is more comfortable for reaching with consideration for left and right handed people on various types of screens.

The problem is so scoped these days, its fairly logical for UIs to come to the same outcome.

“Cohesive”

I love it, but as someone with a red-green colour blind coworker, I always try to use blue for positive feedback, and orange for negative, as its better for representation for most colourblind types.

Democracy can only last so long while capitalism is allowed to twist and control the minds of the people in it, and the current generation of rich people who control the lobbyists and voter information being sent have realized that an authoritarian hard right democracy favors them as it is in conflict with itself and creates something for the voters to focus on that’s not regulating excess wealth or regulating the manipulation of fair and free elections by a rich few.
