In the original post on GitHub it's mentioned that it was a manual review

I don't really think that's fair. I agree with your suggestion that it should be a multiplatform DE rather than just its own distro but I think having polished and design opinionated distros is important. I know a few Mac guys who have become interested in Linux when they heard about ElementaryOS.

I get that a lot of people hate on GNOME too for being annoying to customise and being highly opinionated but I think that's the key to getting the average person interested in Linux. The average person just wants their desktop to look nice out of the box and maybe offer a dark mode. Anything more than that gets too complicated.

Edit: and yeah having access to programs like the MS apps is important but it's not like that has to come before having an appealing desktop

There are actual physical mushroom stores in my city even though it's not legal in Canada. There's one a few minutes away from me called The Mush Room. I love to see it, it reminds me of when weed was about to get legalized and stores were popping up before it was official.

I just want a small phone again. Wish they'd bring back the Minis

Are there any plans for enabling a global menu like Unity had or if writing an extension for one is possible? I miss it every day 😅.

It's looking great though! I'm very hyped to try it

Please visit my farm in FarmVille!

It's probably cocaine

It was sort of like this when I worked for Cisco, although they'd generally hire you officially after a little while. For me it only took around 6 months but for most of my coworkers it was around 3 years.

Yeah that's me. I signed up for and used beehaw for a month before switching to my current lemmy.ca. My old account would definitely be counted the same way as someone who signed up, got bored and left

That does seem more like their kind of style

Fish's autocomplete is enough for me. I do like having Copilot in my editor but I can't really think of a reason I'd need it in my terminal. Most of my time in the terminal is just installing things, git or moving things around and I have all those commands down as muscle memory.

At that point, they were also open source which was super cool. I always wanted that profile badge you got for submitting a merged PR.

Reddit really went downhill fast after ~2015. I think Lemmy will get there eventually. I remember reddit being a lot smaller back then as well. It took a while to get to the point where niche communities could thrive and I do believe we'll see that happen here as well (even if it takes a decade or so)
