From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gajim was gnomed and I'm angy (rant post) (piefed.blahaj.zone)

(Gajim was gnomed since June actually, Void Linux repos didn't update to the new iteraction until a few days ago though so I wasn't aware.)

Gajim was the best XMPP client for desktops, with a nice UI and all the features I'd ever need in a messenger (YMMV).

So of course it should have been turned upside-down with a UI redesign that removes compatibility with GTK3 themes while also looking extremely out of place on my system. Modern GUI design suck SO MUCH.

It's nothing to do with length. I just don't make a habit of visiting any particular website to read it. That's what the threadiverse is for.

Alternatively: that's what RSS is for.

RSS was killed by greed. Too many companies pumping out too much SEO garbage that I don't care about, and not providing anything more than a headline in return. The threadiverse produces a curated feed of articles that are boosted up and down by the community. That's why I'm here.

This place is pretty depressing you should branch out. I rank you guys like 18th out of places I can Hamas-post.
