I guess this is the way dictators see things.
Re:Rethinking Window Management in Gnome on Thursday July 27, 2023 @01:42PM (#36897369)
I have no problem with the way windows work in Gnome right now. Using the window switcher is really convenient. The only things I would like to be better are 1) It's too hard to find my way back to the right window in a window group, for example if I have 4 IntelliJ-windows active and want a specific one, takes too much time to find it and they also look alike. Perhaps naming them and using some ex command (dmenu-ish) thing? 2) The window switcher is only shown on the main display. I know the Gnome devs are quite fixed in their opinions about this, but imho it would be better to show it on the active display, which I would define as where the pointer is or where I interacted last. Solve these two things and I see no need for either mosaic or tiling.
Re:Todo apps are meant for robots on Sunday July 16, 2023 @08:52AM (#36746450)
I like the app (or webpage) Workflowy. It uses bullet lists which resonates very well with my way of structuring things. I also find it better to do weekly plans than daily or context based and then just move unfinished tasks to the next week, should they not be completed. If they hang around for too long, I just delete them.

I find the gdpr-popups themselves to be far worse than any ads I’ve ever encountered. I really don’t care that they profile my data, build models, try to trick me into spending as much money as possible etc. I’m like the meme dog in the house fire - This is fine!
Although MC is great, I really like Ranger, and its somewhat faster sister LF, which is written in Go.
Pixelmator! Wouldn't say it's not well known though.
