@schratze Honestly the reasons I switched away from XFCE weren't the UI; but the constant Unicode-related crashes and the lack of cohesive integration with stuff like MPRIS or Bluetooth... the UI itself was pretty nice

UI design opinions 

@schratze @kescher @AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe Honestly my ideal UI design wouldn't be far removed from this; some improvements to better handle complex controls in particular, but otherwise...

taking the post at face value 

@kescher @schratze @AgathaSorceress@eldritch.cafe I raise you

@foxes @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Yep, seen that pop up in quite a few places lately, it's a good development :) Though it's not *quite* enough for what I'm describing - because that also requires eg. multi-purpose zoning so that facilities *can* be close to residential buildings

@foxes @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev (And yes this requires significantly different city design, but honestly you're already 80% of the way there by just not designing your city around cars)

@foxes @evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Honestly I feel like this (like so many comments about public transport) still focuses too much on alternate *vehicles*. The baseline should be that most trips don't require *any* sort of additional motorized vehicle because they can be made entirely via sidewalk/bikepath. Whether on foot, in a wheelchair, on a bike... and then (accessible) public transport should be a reliable addition for the cases where that isn't possible.

i am going to dig into google-written cmake files, if i don’t come back you know where i went

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev It's basically exploiting early-career enthusiasm at industrial scale, neatly bypassing tricky topics like ethics in the process - I hate capitalism in general, but Google gets some special hate for this, and basically snatching such people away from the commons

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev (Which then of course becomes an ingrained part of the culture, the idea that only CS students can be trusted to do stuff right, even though the opposite is true in practice, if anything)

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev It makes a lot more sense when you consider that Google's hiring strategy is basically "hire grad students right out of school" to have a dependable and predictable source of vaguely-knowledgeable new employees who don't ask too many questions and have no idea what they are actually worth
