Yes, please no discord.

Fediverse is free and open, while discord is a proprietary walled garden. I wish no one has to use it to communicate with developers of a project they use. Also it’s not indexed by search engines, so it’s just different people asking same questions over and over.

Discord is just bad. If devs want to use discord, it’s fine, I can’t tell others what to do, but please keep this in mind.

I wish it was only about software…

No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.

Modern UIs suck in general, be it FOSS or not FOSS. The “slick” and “minimal” apple style interfaces are just a mess of monochrome icons all over the place.

Yes, I’m ranting.

I’d say there’s nothing ridiculous in expecting FOSS thing to be as good as non FOSS, both are made by human after all, yes more work is done by paid developers than by enthusiasts, but there’s nothing impossible about FOSS software being as good as non FOSS.

What’s ridiculous is that people expect one software to behave the same as other software when the FOSS software does not imply in any way that it is a clone of a proprietary software and that it strives to behave the same way / be a direct replacemen. Like, yes, Inkscape is a great vector editor, but noone says it’s an Illustrator clone. You can ditch Illustrator and use Inkscape, but it isn’t a direct replacement, stuff will be different.

There are “free clones”, like double Commander is a clone of Total Commander, and in this case it is valid to expect one to behave exactly like another.

This is some mind blowing UX right here.

+1 for postfix.

I may also want to type out someone’s email NOT in an email client, while in terminal, for example in bash shell or in vim.

Is there Google and/or Outlook integration into a terminal (Konsole) I’m not aware of?

Because email clients are not the only place where I enter emails. And not every program supports address book integration.

I might be filling out online forms and enter someone’s email or phone number or any other long string such as full name I can’t remember how to properly spell.

Well you can have 1 letter sequences which is almost what you want. For example have a sequence that consists of single “u” key that composes into “ü” or something similar.

I don’t know if it’s the same in every DE/Distro, but in KDE I’m pretty sure I can both hold the Compose key and type sequences, or press Compose key once and then type a sequence.

But can’t check right now.

Could you please ELI5 what are spill ranges?

Tbh I don’t have an answer and this isn’t what you’re looking for, but have you heard of Compose key? I don’t know what is kmomad, but I’m pretty happy with my custom compose sequences.

To be honest I can’t give any answer, but I tried Paisa and it felt sketchy, so I decided to use GNUCash.

For some reason benchmarks won’t load on my device.

Could anyone please upload the images somewhere else?

Could you please explain how is ricing racist?

JXL.

I’m trying to tinker with my system and replace a perfectly good and well optimized default kernel for some kernel made for specific niche use cases and I don’t see any performance increase. Why would it be?

Yes, surprisingly the default kernel is optimized well rather than just being a badly written placeholder that users should manually replace for their system to become usable.

It’s 2025 and stuff is designed to just work out of the box.

But it’s used in PES (Passenger Entertainment Systems) at least.

Please.

If I wanted to read Musk, I’d follow him.

If I wanted to see someone’s tweets all day, I’d be Twitter instead of Lemmy.

I use Lemmy to read Lemmy, not to be reading screenshots of Twitter in Lemmy.

Thanks.
