When their opinions are... very extreme.

Earlier today, someone told me that they'd wish someone were no longer living if they mentioned liking a certain type of pizza. It definitely wasn't said in a joking tone either (not that I'd really want to be around someone who made that type of "joke" in the first place) - that was a pretty obvious indicator that they were a bad person in my book.

It was done under the guise of "I don't like to sugarcoat things" πŸ™„

I don't generally go with the "Oh no, anyways..." comment, but that's truly how I feel about the whole Reddit drama at this point.

They made their bed, and now they have to lie in it. I have zero confidence they'll change, and even on the remote chance they wanted to, its pretty much too late for that.

Here's a link to the thread on nitter in case anyone can't view Twitter.

But holy cow, that's uh... I'm not even sure what to say about that.

Edit: Apparently the link breaks for some mobile users and Kbin users due to the underscores, [https://nitter.net/__silent_/status/1698345924840296801](I believe this one should do the trick).

The screen flickering issue is also sadly not limited to Mint. I was on Fedora over the last few months, and am now on Arch and still get that issue.

Also doesn't seem to be restricted to the DE either, just the driver itself being shitty it appears.

The Bitwarden clients all keep a cached copy of your password database, which can be viewed even if your server goes offline (you just can't make edits) - you can even export it when that is the case.

However, if you log out of Bitwarden, it erases the local cache off that device, which will require your server to be online in order to retrieve again (or export it from a different device that is still signed in).

Remember to actually kill the process though, since that will only background/suspend it in most cases.

(Be sure to save the file though first, Vim creates a "swap" / recovery file but its best to not rely on that, use fg to re-open, then press escape and type :wq)

It also has admin actions now as well, which I don't believe I've seen on any of the other apps yet.

For a lifetime purchase of Ultra, yes (depending on your country, there is regional pricing now). You don't need Ultra for mod/admin tools.

Gnome by default does not have those buttons enabled. Their design vision is for you to not actually have to minimize a window, but rather if you need to focus on a specific window either maximize it (in which you double click the app's header or drag it to the top of the screen), or move that window to a different workspace. The options are technically still in Gnome, and can be enabled via either dconf editor, or through the Gnome Tweaks app - however, a few distros enable it out of box. If you use a distro that has a more vanilla Gnome experience, such as Fedora, this won't be the case.

By icon tray / app indicators, I mean apps that show some sort of status or shortcut in the bottom right area of Windows / KDE (or the top right of macOS). On my desktop right now, that would be Discord, JetBrains Toolbox, and KSnip (the last two are extension icons).

The first thing I always hear from people trying out gnome for the first time is along the lines of "Where is the minimize and maximum buttons?" and depending on what programs they use "where is the icon tray" (app indicators, or the "system tray" on Windows).

Whenever I try to explain the devs' philosophies regarding those, they quickly have lost excitement so generally these days I just start people on KDE.

If only we actually lived in the Animal Crossing universe.

(For those unfamiliar, in the game Animal Crossing you can actually "create" money trees that you can harvest from every so often, and how much you get is dependent on how much you initially "invest")
