Wow! Thank you.

I noticed a few annoyances in the demo flow:

How do I make a new slide? I had to rtfm to find out about "---"

What language does code want? I eventually correctly guessed "HTML".

I want it to have a little dropdown menu in the style of godbolt.org for code snippets. That would be great for collaboration flows like: "This high-level code compiles to an integer increment, so don't worry about the lambdas".

Godbolt also does a good job of populating pages with hello-world examples. It might make sense to do that, at least the first few times a document of a given type was created.

For it to be my daily-driver backend dev environment, it would need git integration and the ability to ssh to a dev environment that I configured in the style of okteto. That feels like a different product.

If I was going to use this on a day-to-day basis, I'd want to be able to back up the data (in case your E2EE blew up, or I lost my password).

My next question would be how to use it while disconnected (For three reasons: (1) I want to host your backend server on a LAN that isn't exposed to the internet, and still use it for things like bank account info, and (2) I want to store travel itineraries in it, and be able to access them if my cell plan doesn't work overseas, (3) if the server dies, I have the data on my device, and would want to "copy" it all to a new server).

Anyway, I've been looking for something like this for years, and it looks like you hit most of my requirements.

Not that I'm even remotely surprised at the depths of racist, disgusting, or outright hateful behavior exhibited by 4chan users, but still, this is terrifying. This is par the course, if not outright expected. Of course 4chan users would stoop to this level.

The advice on polish applies mostly to venture-funded startups trying to get users to move from existing $SOCIAL_APP to new $SOCIAL_APP; in this instance, sure, polish what you can at the top of the funnel.

For B2B products it's a little different. When you're holding an MVP in your hands, it's really hard to tell whether you're grasping a rusty old anchor that will drag you to your death, or whether you're looking at lightning in a bottle.

One quick way to tell is if businesses sign up and user it even though it's as fugly as can be.

If, when pitching the product to a potential sale, the subject indicates that they need particular cosmetic changes before higher-ups would approve it, then you're likely pitching a dud product.

If, otoh, they interrupt you during the pitch of that fugly product, and offer to trial it immediately, or buy the prototype, or call in a higher up, then you have the proverbial lightning in a bottle.

Cosmetics is, I think, a good indicator for B2B products - if people want it even though it's ugly, you're selling painkillers. If people want it only when it's pretty, you're selling vitamins.

A lot of folks seem pissed off by this, but it cannot be denied it adds a lot of headaches for developers. Specifically really demoralizing to UI/UX devs who try and bring their skills to the open source world (either they are designing UI that is getting overhauled by themes, or they're designing themes that are getting shunned in missives like this).

But all of this feels like an expectation of folks who want the free software ecosystem to more closely resemble how their disciplines function in the hierarchical divisions of responsibility and control in the private corporate world.

Difficulty in owning a house in singapore is pretty similar to other developed countries. Like in HK, they have HDB (Housing Development Board) flats, which are government-subsidized housing, the median price is around S$500,000 (approximately $372,000 in USD). Only citizens and PRs can buy with subsidies for first time home owner. I would say around 60-80% singaporeans live on HDB housing.

An alarming trend I see with LLM skeptics is this general direction, where whole categories of real humans are about to be classified as sub-human because an AI has now surpassed their abilities. Every time an LLM skeptic uses the "it's not actually intelligent" argument, it comes dangerously close to dehumanizing actual humans.

Because traditionally UDP did not have any flow control, you just treat is as kinda CBR traffic and so you just want to leave it queues as fast as it can.

Speaking as someone not really involved in LLMs: i get the strong impression that prompt engineering is a scam (in the classical sense: taking advantage of an ill-understood new field to milk clients for cash).

It’s difficult to believe that in a system that’s (a) non-deterministic, and (b) is prone to sometimes serious hallucinations, prompt engineering would be generally effective.

Are there any good counter-arguments to this?

Fair.

I think what they mean by supported though is (in a very simple example) if you complain about a missing button but it's because your DE theme washes it out then they aren't going to help, otherwise they'd look at the issue and try to resolve it.

The article isn't saying what you think it is saying. Despite the clickbaity opening, this isn't calling for users to stop adjusting the appearance of apps.

This is about distributors applying system wide default theming to apps without doing any QA and then users being confused when the app doesn't work and doesn't match support documentation. Then these users file bug reports with the app developer rather than with the theme creator.

The letter is asking for specific changes so that the app developers don't need to take away user's ability to theme apps by hard coding a stylesheet (since that is the only way to disable automatic distro themes.)

> If you like to tinker with your own system, that’s fine with us. However, if you change things like stylesheets and icons, you should be aware that you’re in unsupported territory. Any issues you encounter should be reported to the theme developer, not the app developer.

> If you are a distribution who changes the system stylesheet and icons, please reconsider this decision. Changing third-party apps without any QA is reckless, and would be unacceptable on any other platform. Your actions are hurting us app developers a great deal, and are damaging to the entire ecosystem beyond your distribution.
So? If the reason is that the new one is far better, that seems fine. If the reason is that the old one broke beyond repair, that is not fine.

Yeah came here to say this. A complex turbine setup is large and complex. A panel setup with liquid cooling and a heat exchanger isn’t.

I feel like these sorts of things should be useful in situations where there’s a lot of excess heat in some other process that’s typically wasted. Smelters, incinerators, high temperature chemical reactions, etc. Because they are presumably not large you can clad and enclose the high temperature area in these sorts of panels and capture 40% of the wasted energy and divert it back into the process. That would have compounding effects.

Liquid cooling with a heat exchanger can be pretty low profile.

Moved from iOS to Android recently and the first thing I did was install a new FOSS launcher and Articons. The Settings menu and sharesheet still show the original app icons. App theming choices are much more limited, just hope they respect your system theme and font scaling, which the latter definitely can break layouts rendering some apps unusable.

I don't really have a point with all of this; I just think there's a middleground that can be met to let users modify whatever they'd like, and straying from the Happy Path that devs test for could show a warning or a way to let them choose to revert certain system defaults for your app.
Sure, and if they just said "we'll close tickets for anything to do with theming" or similar, it'd be fine, but instead we get:

> We understand the need for distributions to stand out. However, we urge you to find ways to do this without taking away our agency. We are tired of having to do extra work for setups we never intended to support, just to have that used against us when people tell us the breakage from theming is “not that bad”. You are not doing this to Blender, Atom, Telegram, or other third party apps. Just because our apps use GTK that does not mean we’re ok with them being changed from under us.

> Since you are shipping the GNOME platform, we assume you want this ecosystem to be healthy. If you do, we ask that you please stop theming our apps.

I'm sorry but just becuase you make some software that works together you don't get to designate it a platform and decide you should control it. Not in the free software world, at least.

Debian et al. aren't "shipping the Gnome platform", they're shipping package managers that can install many things including a bunch of Gnome software (and vastly more non-Gnome software). A very large proporrion of it can be themed or customised in some way.

Some people use Gnome "stock" but don't install or use any of the Gnome apps, others use aspects of the Gnome WM but without the default panels and interfaces, others install the whole lot, some run Gnome software but with a totally different WM or desktop environment, and then there are things like Regolith [1] which use some Gnome software but are pretty unrecognisable compared to a default Gnome install.

Gnome devs are just writing software. Their desire to deifne and own and control a platform is their problem, not ours.
