There's also Xfce4, MATE, Cinnamon which come ith man, OS installers as an option. Not to mention various smaller projects (e.g. LXDE or whatever the cool kids use nowadays). Personally I've been spoilt by Awesome WM since 2008 and can't live without terminal/shell.
What parties?
Needing to use command line for some things that should be a right click
Right click where? All major DE's/WM's implement stuff in their own way. The problem here is we don't (and won't) have a unified GUI that everyone uses, unlike the other two main OS's. (Note: I don't see this as a problem, more as a result of the FLOSS ecosystem being such a rich soil to build stuff on.)
I think Neal Stephenson's In the Beginning was the Command Line has some valid points even today.
Many parts of FW work a bit like an abstract painting where each viewer finds their own interpretation, each of those equally valid and independent of what the author possibly intended. An AI dumbed down version would just show one path through the work, the one it thinks is the main road. But yes, at best, such version could sparkle an interest and function as a gateway to the work. Or extinguish all interest for good.
Interesting. I'd definitely skim through such a version, albeit it totally abolishes the intricacies of FW.
I think it's just a side effect to Lemmy doom-scrolling.
That's actually not that bad. Of course missing all the smells and taste of the text, allusions and double meanings, but as a very coarse synopsis it'll do.
It's Finnegans Wake, without the apostrophe. Obviously a book full of puns and riddles must have them in its title as well.
Pretty much, yes. In fact this bit is on the clearer side compared to most of the text. It's very challenging and one should probably not dive into it unprepared (there are a lot of side literature and guides to accompany it). However it's well worth the effort once you learn how to read it (e.g. the words draw their meanings via how they're sounding in addition to how they're written).
Or like a study in UK concluded: fuck all.
This popped up today on my phone when casually tapped on a text field. As a long ass time MessagEase user this makes me sad. Even though it has its issues, it's also been pretty much unbeatable when you need to type text on Android without looking using only one thumb. Looks like MessagEase Pro subscription fee is 1,09€/month. Not that much but no thanks. Enshittification spreads. As a FLOSS enthusiast I've always dreaded this sort of thing when using "free" proprietary products.
Anyhow, do I have to go back to Gboard or are there any free/oss alternatives around to replace MessagEase with?
