yeah you need to know the password or secret handshake (like a protocol handshake) to be let in! :)

“porte” in French means a door.

Imagine each port is a door, all neatly aligned… some of them can be opened and lead to something… (a service)

cooking! finding out about good ingredients and how to make them even better! fermenting too…

music is life <3

something you cooked from the bottom of your heart, inspired by that person, improvising with seasonal ingredients, with a touch of crazy zestiness (lime, ginger, chili)? something that would taste delicious and show how inventive and thoughtful you are!

fermenting? to make healthy, cheap, useful, durable and more importantly delicious foods?

…You wouldn’t download a car?!

same here.

my first switch from x to wayland was on the pinephone and that convinced me to make the big jump elsewhere. that feeling of snappiness you describe, from not having all the screen refreshed all the time i gues…?

I already have everything. I use Sway… :)

i got a cheap gamer’s keyboard that happened to have blue switches, the cheapest i actually found with Cherry MX Blue (so, some mechanical keyboard nerds will say this is sh*t and they’ll probably be right). It’s an “HyperX Alloy”. it has these annoyingly red LED, but i don’t really care. I recommend it for the price though (I paid around 90 buck back then)

In last 5 years for me:

• a pair of decent (second hand) speakers
• a cheap (blue switches ftw) mechanical keyboard
• a standing desk
• an ergonomic chair

(sorry it’s not single item…)

as said before: backup first. the rest afterwards…

wait… no alpine apk?! :)

Those are different dimensions that should be considered together. Of course we should still invest efforts into UI/UX, where possible and where it represents the will of the participants in the project… but when answering questions such as “which FLOSS piece is superior” i think we should always find a balance between those, and bring them together…

The thing I find hard to convey is that FLOSS software is superior to proprietary software for many reasons, most of which are non-technical: FLOSS software is superior to proprietary software if it isn’t spying on you, if it’s governance is collective, if it’s not build to make you pay for things that should be free, if it lets you decide where your data goes, etc…

we’re often missing the point when we attempt at side-by-side comparison of FLOSS and proprietary software… It’s usually one-dimentional, and playing on our opponent’s field: these companies racketing their users based on rent-based exploitative business models will always have more resources than independant developpers to improve “UX/UI”… so I think this must not be the only prism through which reading these things.
