    The main two things I like about start menus is that it keeps all your apps out of the way, and in some resemblence of organizatoin, instead of just barfing them all out in one big cluttered mess, which is part of what turns me away from Apple, or Gnome. However, they’re not as easy to use on touchscreens. That said, ads deeply nerf this advantage.





  • With all the shenanigans on Reddit still going on, and r/linuxquestions (best I can tell) still being down, I also would love to see them extend to the Fediverse.

    …though I am wondering why on my Mint installation, Firefox running causes my sound to crackle. If I try the same site (say, Odysee) in Midori or Chromium, everything is normal, but with Odysee playing, if I so much as open Firefox and let it sit on the landing page, my sound will begin to crackle until I decide to close it, at which time it quits in a few seconds. It also sounds like crap when I try to send Firefox to Odysee. It’s the same for if I send it to another site, like YouTube or Pandora, as well as finding videos on r/BreathOfTheWild via Reddit.




  • Good luck with that, though. If this is America, and I think it is, we find ways of making a good public transit system suck. I also think we need to take a hard look at how our towns and cities are desined as well, and make them to where they’re optimized to be able to drive into a central location then bicycle or hoof it to whrever you wanted to go within a couple miles.
