Windows 10 wasn’t even on my list as it is not a modern OS any more (it has been replaced by Windows 11), but even so it had a better UI, without those weird UI features that just serve to look bad

• floating taskbar at the bottom, not actually at the bottom, above it
• those blue highlights around widgets that do not look good
• that horrible off white colour for widgets
• general bad design

And of course windows 11 and GNOME improve with even more UI features

• blur
• transparency that actually looks good
• rounded corners that look good

Basically, it’s not one specific thing that makes KDE look bad, but rather their general approach to design, which seems to be ‘we don’t care what we’re doing, we’ll just set the default to something random as we expect users to customise it anyway’ which is fine for advanced users, but not so friendly to new users

It might be GNOME or it might be Windows 11 (although of the Linux ones it’s still GNOME), but KDE is clearly (subjectively) the most ‘programmer art’ of the 3

Maybe unintuitive is the wrong word, but for new users the amount of options can be overwhelming, and the UI looks… not very modern by default, lol

It’s a big abstract to understand, are you trying to say that there are Linux enthusiasts that protest GUIs being made simple and intuitive, and that if they succeed, would-be Linux users will go back to Windows, which is more intuitive?

Maybe for KDE, but just introduce new users to GNOME, that’s perfectly intuitive and even looks great!

Mastodon is corporate social media?

Is this an April Fools joke?

Why is the reply green like it’s from you, but the bubble is coming from the left side, which is their side, rather than your, right, side?

fhmy.net?

Hmm, ok, I tried that, and the command hung without logging anything to the terminal or terminating, and /mnt/jack101 ceased to be a folder, and became a binary file - one I didn’t have permission to access

aarvi@fedora:~$ rclone mount jack101: /mnt/jack101/ --network-mode

Alright, I added the config, and could use an app such as Rclone shuttle to view the files, but at no point could I set a mount point and I’m still not sure how to do that.

Thanks, I tried that and it gave a different error

aarvi@fedora:~$ rclone mount ftp://jack101:correct%20password@oncilla.mythic-beasts.com /mnt/jack101 --network-mode

but I will try to fix it

Yeah, might well be there’s an error with this version - 0.9.2/8.9.1

But it also doesn’t seem the old version is available for download…

I tried out it and Jerboa on Android (from F-Droid) and besides for not showing user PFPs, Voyager is generally better.

If you choose the app first, and you choose Voyager, everything else - browsing, creating an account - is intuitive and just works.

As a neutral observer, it doesn’t seem to me that you’ve really tried.

I don’t get the meme, but is the title in reference to the latest Ryan George video?

I don’t use a VPN, and haven’t got a letter from my ISP in all the years I’ve been pirating.

You think they don’t have backups?

Surely you’d need TTS for that one, too? Which one do you use, is it open weights?
