Hey there, I'm Rokosun 👋
I first came here because of FOSS/privacy. But I also like Science, Movies/Documentaries, Memes or anything fun!

I'm very grateful for all of the awesome people I met here and became friends with 🙂

:xfce: Almost everybody I see recommending Xfce seems to throw in some disclaimer to the effect of, "It looks kinda ugly by default, but it's really easy to theme."

:thinking: I definitely agree with that; customizing Xfce is fantastic and incredibly simple, however, it shouldn't be something anyone has to do.
Why hasn't the default look of Xfce changed?

@tio had to put a lot of effort into making XFCE look modern for TROMjaro - https://www.tromjaro.com/

Initially he discarded XFCE because of how oldish it looked out of the box, but then he started customizing it and realized that it's actually pretty good - it feels like a middle ground between Gnome and KDE.

Finally Sasha got her residency approved here in Spain after 4-5 years of us trying, spending money, being stressed. After being rejected once because we did not have enough money as a family - imagine that! That was the actual reason.

But now that I had a "job" they made us wait 7 months from the moment we applied, and 2 complaints later from the lawyer about why they do not approve it, it finally got approved. And the reason was ONLY because I was a "trader" in this bullshit trade society.

How terrible that we treat people like tools. The value is in what and how much you can trade. Does not matter if you are a good human being. Smart? Doesn't matter. Calm and helpful? Nope. Scientifically minded? Nah.

I spent my life doing free things for others, never made a profit, but this has 0 value in this society.

Anyway, fuck you to those who support a world where we are divided into tribes and languages, and treating people like sole traders/marketers and not humans. We have global problems but so many still want to have their own "separate" tribe and care only about that. Fuck your flag, your language, your culture. Fuck nationalism. A primitive disease.

We are all humans with a 4 billion years long history, a mindblowing one. Single cells becoming what we are today. The way we are connected to each other, scientifically, dwarfs any bullshit man-made story about their own tribe. We have lego-brick-like structures we call the DNA that encode all of what we are. And all of what other creatures are, and how we are all connected.

We live on a giant sphere with a thin layer of atmosphere protecting us from the infinite universe out there.

So fuck you if you think your nationalism is so important, and your borders and stupid nonsensical laws.

I had to let this out because it is outrageous how primitive this society is.

Fuck you! :)

@tio I love how you mention the actual scientific history of human beings! Countries and borders are man-made fiction/ideas that we choose to believe in, and they keep changing from time to time - there is a stark difference between that and the actual scientific reality of our world. Science is often a very humbling experience I feel like, think of the famous pale blue dot image and how carl sagan described it......

@bigworldsmallsasha has finally released her new book that she had been working on for the last couple of years! I'm really excited to read her memoir because I know she has had one of the most interesting lives, if you're unfamiliar with Sasha I recommend taking a look at her website - https://bigworldsmallsasha.com

She has been traveling around the world for more than a decade with little to no money and has gained an extensive understanding about our world through these experiences.

I will definitely be more skeptical of data sourced from https://ourworldindata.org after watching this video. And I'm honestly a bit concerned about how ubiquitous they are, their data often gets cited by a lot of other publications so it's worrisome to see how skewed they can be.

I was reading this article by @Mer__edith, the president of Signal messenger app. There's a lot of insightful information there so I recommend giving it a read. I'm glad to see someone openly speak out about this and raising concerns about the increasing centralization of power and control in the hands of a few, both in the digital space and in the offline world.

It was about 60 Euros back then. Now 1 Bitcoin is 60.000 Euros.... Good investment.

I read some #rust people talking about their development machines, and they were saying things like "my machine only has 48 Gb of ram" no wonder rust isn't performing that well on my machine with 4 Gb of ram, I wouldn't think a programming langauge really would need that much ram though, it's kind of weird, or maybe I'm just getting old.

One of the things I've learned from the driving school is that newer cars that have a lot of safety features, are involved in more accidents than older cars that lack these features. They say it is because people do not know how to use these features or are more confident while driving thinking that the "safety" features are going to protect them.

Isn't it interesting!? Where is that news ha!?

Everyone talks about the new cool features in these new cars, but isn't it extraordinary to learn that they are less safe than old cars?

HA!

@tio it's unfortunate that you're having to learn from a bad English translation, but relevant info like this is what they should be teaching at driving school.

Very good conversation about AI. Here's the ALJazeera link www.aljazeera.com/program/stud…

I like the focus on "the system" rather than the "AI". The "AI" is not really the problem here, the system is, where it incentivizes the use of AI for bad purposes. From big companies who want to harvest people's data and show ads to them, or sell their "AI" as a service, and thus be incentivized to make this tool for profit motives, to individuals who are using these tools to create more shitty content online in order to get more clicks, more views, more money.

In the end it is what we talked about for years now: the problem with trade. We live in a trade-based society where everyone is forced and incentivized to trade. So instead of making a tool like AI for detecting skin cancer, or creating videos more easily, and overall to help the society, people, and be useful, humans make these tools in order to trade them: for data, attention, or currency.

We need to talk about that! We need to talk about our society more than we need to talk about AI.

Listening to this episode opened my eyes about the crazy world of cyber mercenaries, a part of the profiting off of wars.

Just added an initial implementation of Gtk.ColumnView to owlkettle. The widget allows displaying large tabular datasets.

@futureisfoss@fosstodon.org avatar

@CanLehmann Hey man, didn't know you were on fedi, I just wanted to thank you for making the owlkettle library. I help with a small linux distro called TROMjaro and was able to make a few GUI programs in Nim with the help of owlkettle. I also saw your video tutorials on YouTube and those were extremely helpful to understand the logic behind this UI framework.

One of the apps I made with owlkettle - https://git.trom.tf/TROMjaro/theme-switcher-package
(Note: The code may not be that great 'cause I'm sill kind of a noob 😅)
