Long time Mac user here because of a steam deck. I’ve enjoyed KDE so much because of how much tweaking I can do. It basically feels like my Mac now, with the dock and the placement of the window management buttons, but also more colorful and “game-y”.

A week ago, I started tinkering a bit more with some other new options and it just wigged out, forcing me to reset it to default appearance in order to see anything again, and I spent and afternoon putting things back to how I liked them, albeit a bit different.

Also, now searching for global themes only results in an error and I have no idea why, nor how to fix it.

Nothing I do really makes it perfect, and I find myself a little put off by things such as my window styles not perfectly color matching the application styles because they were created by completely different artists with different goals in mind.

That said, my steam deck is a toy, and playing around is pretty much the only thing I’m doing with KDE and Linux at the moment. I am finding fun in it, ever if frustration is involved.

Taliban: Humans cause climate change. We kill more humans. Problem solved.

Did they claim they innovated this feature? I wasn’t paying attention.

Fedia, though I made another backup account on brainbin.

Between Social, Run, and Artemis, I’m beginning to think kbin might be cursed. I’m on my fourth kbin instance, but have decided to revisit my lemmy account to enjoy some native ios app experiences again.

Well the south might as well retake the north now.

People have survived without tools like this for thousands upon thousands of years. I think we can afford to wait a few more until there’s a privacy-respecting method behind it. I know we won’t, but I’m sure we could have.

Couldn’t I just block whatever account throws in advertising?

I’m not sure. I haven’t subscribed yet.

Can’t afford two extra spaces to turn that comma into a “and”, apparently.

Or domestic?

Not a fan of whatever that D-pad is. I’m also curious about the battery life.

Thrilled to see twin touchpads though.

The more handheld PCs get made, the more I become aware of just how ahead of the curve Steam was with their deck design. I actually thought it looked gaudy as hell when it launched, but since using it, I can’t get over just how unexpectedly handy anything is. I just wish there were better haptics, since I’m kind of a sucker for that kind of stuff.

I started using Fedia.io

As of a few minutes ago I’m getting a 502 Bad Gateway error and having flashbacks….

I was thinking East when I wrote west. Something is wrong with my brain.

You mean 1,000 sq kms of East Ukraine?

Edit: I need help with my cardinal directions.

Not even for the betterment of humanity would I dare venture into such places…

I just made an account on Fedia, but I’ll sign up for brain bin as well later. I think my username might suit that instance.

Just made an account. I need time to go through and set up my subscriptions.

I actually miss the microblog integration on vanilla kbin, but I don’t think we’ll ever get that back.

I might just finally give up and settle on lemmy. There are a lot of really good apps for it these days.

Well I started on kbin.social, migrated to kbin.run…

Are there any other servers anyone would like me to ruin?
