  • When this sorry undeserving species is all dead, alien archaeologists will learn how religion was the biggest, most successful device used by the powerful to sedate the poor and keep their interests driving everything (including destroying the habitability of the planet for short term luxury), from the early civilizations until the very end. Then they will find your comment on an HDD and fucking laugh at you, at all of our stupid asses.





  • Yeah GNOMEs limitations are sometimes extreme, but sadly it’s the only desktop to focus on the single-entry workflow that cosmic removed (by separating out functions of the activities overview). The s76 team seems pretty against that flow in their design vision, so I’m not really sure what I’ll end up doing because my brain just does not jive with memorizing like 5+ multi-key shortcuts just to get around my apps and desktops. I’m hoping the rust desktop restores the ability to use the full overview where you can see windows and desktops, type for apps that aren’t already open if you need, and then also at the same time drag them to desired desktops. Before I could start my session then type firefox and drag it to a workspace then type blender and drag it to another, etc lightning fast, then click on the desktop i want to go to. I tried and tried to use cosmic’s separated and siloed functions, and it’s just way way slower for me. And the amount of time i press the wrong shortcut and get irritated and out of my flow…


  • Thanks team for the hard work, this is shaping up to be a good platform. I would like to learn more coding and play with making some simple apps. I read the rust book (and completing the exercises) and the borrow checker and syntax seem friendly to me even only having only dabbled in light scripting and querying. However, I don’t really know much about actually making a full program. Like I’m not super clear on how to best store persistent data, hook things into a GUI, etc. I don’t have a lot of experience building an api and best practice with exposing private/public, etc. Outside of school does anyone have any advice for getting started on application building? Also will libcosmic be getting some documentation and quickstart type material in the next year?
