Hi, developer of the site in question here. That popup exists to warn users that the fingerprinting protections, namely farbling, can cause minor amounts of visual noise to appear in their art. For a pixel art editor, this is not desired, and I received many bug reports about the behaviour, which lead to the popup pictured.

NeedCoolerShoes does not have any fingerprinting in place, and utilises only a privacy friendly analytics tool called counter.dev, where site analytics is public for all to see: https://counter.dev/dashboard.html?user=Moxvallix&token=d7TgWkme7Jo%3D

Zerotier has been the best alternative in my experience.

My dad got me a Linux laptop as a kid (I was 10 I think?), and I am so grateful that he did.

To be fair, I already had a huge passion for computing, and it meant that I would constantly toy around with Linux, breaking things and learning how to fix them.

I have been a Linux user ever since, and I feel have learnt so much about computing because of it.

(I started on Ubuntu 12.04, with the glorious Unity desktop)

Suyu has to be an ironic name right?

It’s actually when they mention the Lemmy community. Mastodon users seem to get confused which accounts are Lemmy accounts vs which accounts are Mastodon.

The name being the same causes the confusion, but is not the reason for the post coming to Lemmy.

tbh i dont think i’ve ever needed w3schools, mdn has always been plenty for me.

Using Rice/Ricing is perfectly fine. Words change meaning and evolve with different communities. In a Linux minded community such as this, you’ll be hard pressed to find people that will confuse Ricing for anything other than a fancy DE/WM.

Most people will understand Rice by the r/unixporn definition: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/wiki/themeing/dictionary/#wiki_rice

I love xonotic!

Do you know why there’s KDE, XFCE and others? Because there’s also a lot of people who dislike GNOME.

If we are getting pedantic here, the above quote is clearly implying that alternatives exist and are actively developed because people dislike GNOME. Your statement does not take in to account the possibility that people just like the other alternatives, and may still like GNOME as well, or feel indifference towards it.

No one is claiming that GNOME has the superior desktop experience. Rather, GNOME has a more opinionated experience, that suits some people, and not others. For some people, it will be superior. For others, they will prefer KDE, XFCE etc.

Umm well akshually 🤓👆: KDE doesn’t exist because people don’t like GNOME lol. GNOME was made because KDE uses QT, which used to be proprietary.

Thanks for the reply :)

Good site, thank you! :)

Thanks for the recommendations! (I should have done this around Black Friday lol, that would have been smart)

Heh, I think the link is a little broken…

No issues tho, others have linked it in other comments. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the recommendations! Linking to a build was a nice touch :)

This is all a lot to take in lol, I might have to start a spreadsheet.

Ha yeah sure. Haven’t used Gnome in over 3 years, daily drive KDE. Just happen to not be 12.

This is honestly really sad. I really don’t get the hostility towards Gnome and it’s devs.

Gnome is certainly quite opinionated, and isn’t to everyone’s tastes, but this doesn’t make it ok for memes like this (a pretty shit meme regardless).

Gnome has done a lot for the linux ecosystem, and Gnome developers don’t owe you anything.

Grow up.
