The two paths merged reveal a third option: the manbear.

Both are great projects really, and big projects at that - big stacks, lots of moving parts.

Whereas GNOME tries to be more uniform, Plasma tries to be more bespoke.

I don’t care which one you use, really. I just love GNOME design principles and it’s desktop paradigm.

Is GNOME a perfect project? No. But when these troglodytes crawl out of their discord servers, I just can’t help but be infuriated by their pure malice and ignorance.

So fuck em. I’m done with this thread.

You have a nice day now, y’hear?

“16 years of paving the way for Plasma”.

There, fixed that for you.

Huh, I guess you’re getting to them then with your massive winging. Guess you’ll get your Rube Goldberg desktop you want and still complain.

“most very useful”.

List. Tell me which ones.

Do not, I repeat, do not infodump on someone today.

Hi, my brain is wired so that it obsesses over details, combs through data and sifts through documentation, over decades even, only some poor soul to give me attention, which promptly opens up the spigot.

Please be advised, you will know why VST2 instrument plugins can take audio input, but only because Native Instruments sort of “hacked it in” during the 2000s, even though it wasn’t apart of the VST2 specification, which Steinberg obviously isn’t a fan of, because even to this day Cubase won’t recognise audio inputs from VST2 instruments in Cubase, but you can with VST 3 instrument plugins, and even though VST4 was at some point announced, it was presumably scrapped because plans for VST5 was leaked time after, but never actually came into fruition. Really though, vendors should be distributing CLAP plugins and contributing back to CLAP, because we could really use an open standard beyond Steinberg’s proprietary SDK, but then people like Native Instruments, Arturia, etc would have to “port their plugins” over to CLAP, which shouldn’t be too hard since it’s sort of API compatible - though not really - but since they won’t see instant returns they probably won’t dedicate the billable hours… so anyways, I program Maxforlive devices nowadays - oh, wait. Butterfly…

Gotta respect boycotting Cloudflare on principle… but also, why?

Oh noes! Design spec?!? :( STANDARDS AND ETHICS?!?! No! I Want you to install my halfass, broken solution instead of waiting for a proper solution to come along! I’m such a special boy and know coding better than you! HOW DARE YOU HAVE PLANS!! /s

Like some of you are buffoons and need to go use something like Plasma instead. I love Plasma, not pushing that down, it’s just that if you don’t know the modus operandi of GNOME in 2024 already, you might as well give up trying.

At the very least give up complaining. You wouldn’t have Wayland if it weren’t for WONTFIX, ya daft cunts.

“Cuba is such a shit hole.”

Consistently has some of the best doctors. Also, healthcare workers from Kenya? Some of the best in the world.

Yeeeey I’m a majestic deer… don’t touch me!

It’s because of sticks in the mud like you that therapy exists in the first place.

What, is my writing too hard for you? =( Don’t read the post modernists, you’d go feral. In any case, both of you are idiots.

Can’t have different forms of positivity on this fucking platform beyond political sycophansy and in-group circle jerks, because imbeciles will take it the wrong way regardless.

“uH sOuNdS LiKe sOmE bUlLsHiT tO mE”.

No, you sanctimonious pricks. That was an affirmation for the people who find someone, anyone, who they can be a partner with - regardless of social hierarchy or convention - with determination and gumption… that’s laudable - in case you didn’t know, which was clearly communicated.

And you guys, being the rays of sunshine that you are - probably the most anticipated guests at any given party - took that in the worst way possible.

This is because your head’s are filled with brainrot, and probably also because you print out comments in form of metal sheet paper and shove it up your ass as a form of literary analysis.

Maybe not do that?

Some women are based. They’re just like “I’m gonna find a partner and just go hard. Let’s look on social media. Bam. Found one.” You have to appreciate, nay - be in respect and awe of the pure gall, the nerve, the gumption of this lady, the globes on this bitch. She made a life like it was nothing. I am intimidated, elated and my breath has been taken away.

God speed, dear lady. God speed…

Give it a lick…

It’s an art form, mom!

Nordics: what about summer solstice? It’s so nice to see that big ball of heat in the sky stay for weeks, as a nice treat before the darkness starts to reclaim the world, as it will all things in the end…

In short, it’s a backend/frontend combination that can be shaped using standards compliant web technology, i.e HTMX and JSON, to make it easier in prototyping federated platforms.

Prototyping frontend and backends in tandem is an undertaking to say the least. By creating a framework specifically designed to bridge that gap it will allow developers to more effectively develop, test and publish social media platforms.

…also, they coupled the decoupling… because of course they did. But yeah, if this makes it easier to create federated platforms, I’m all for it.

Better yet, tell them you’re dying, and if you need to, fake your death, move to Argentina, make that dive bar you always dreamt about.

Oh heck yeah. The first Godot driven VST effect? Yeah buddy… or clap. Do it in clap!

…this post is the oldest link in a chain of conclusions that we could find, which lead to a turning point in history, which helped to bring about a a movement similar to the early skinhead movement of the 1900s - before ethno-nationalists had co-opted it - the difference being that skinheads wanted to solidify the identity of fhe common man, the common labourer, where as a nuller is someone who rejects identity entirely.

You can’t be fully nullified, unless you’ve legally changed your name to null (all lowercase) and only partake in arts and entertainment dedicated to the nullification of naturalistic urges, to bring about enlightenment via the understanding of art and rejecting “the feels”. Nullers often wear bright clothing, signaling a blank slate of mind, with blank expressions, speaking in monotone voices. Even the way they speak is entirely clean, logical and direct. Therefore, to truly be a nuller, one must shed any form of identity. One must become null.

It’s said that people have never been forcefully nullified, but there’s speculation that certain collective communities partake in practices meant to nullify the individual more effectively. The question is wether or not it is indoctrination or grooming, as the collectives swear that these processes are completely voluntary. Certain psychiatrists however claim that FOMO and a want to become nullified negates any warning or critical thinking in cases when people suffer from weakened impulse control, feel the need to satisfy others or other conditions, that the collectives may be taking advantage of vulnerable people.

Whatever the case, nullers are found everywhere today. Non-descript people, who don’t adhere to race, nationality, religion or anything else. The famous author Dr Rinsegüld said: “a nuller is a puritanical humanist. They thrive on the idea of subverting, and even erasing the animal within. They’re tiresome sticks in the mud, who won’t dance around fires or joke at the expense of others. Whatever type of human that is, it doesn’t actually seem alive.”

They say many who become nullified change forever. Some say that the method of personality control - both from the individual and the collective - is so powerful, that the difference between a nuller and a computer can be negligible. The various collectives and groups have their share of members, as well as their places in various lists held by governments around the world. They are spreading rapidly and some people are concerned they may turn into a full blown political movement.

We here at TNN wish to tread carefully, but from what we’ve seen we are personally frightened and leave it up to parents out there to make the best decision for your children. If your children start dressing in all white, speaking in monotone voixe and talking with clear logical intent, unburdened by want or need, they maybe in the process of being indoctrinated. Be advised.
