Gotta say, for $20/mo, this is pretty flipping incredible!
kabel42Uhhh, s—sure, #Thunderbird. You go right on ahead and reclaim those 218 GB. 🤷♂️
It's really something that my e-reader has better and more usable scrollbars than most desktop interfaces (Windows, MacOS, and Gnome). :/
The scrollbar is thin, but the grabbable region is large (kind of like the default in KDE), and easy to manipulate directly with your finger. This is actually better than #iOS' implementation, and many #Android apps.
If anyone's curious why I'm always doing the little #LossyPNG dance, it's because you can get some crazy good compression sacrificing color depth, instead of using a traditional lossy algorithm which gives you good compression by sacrificing detail:

No, KWrite is a plain text editor, and is basically just Kate-lite.
Now that's what I call some lean #ScreenTime!

> I wonder if someone's already built a graphical environment where most of the apps are TUI stuff launched from desktop/XDG-Menu shortcuts.
Sounds like most tiling wm enjoyers' workflows, honestly. I'm attaching a photo of my own #sway setup and launcher (fuzzel)
> One thing I appreciate about DOS that the entire bootup/sytem configuration process is contained to two moderately long textfiles.
You should look into the various BSDs' init systems. They're relatively simple, and elegant.
> Never looked into the Linux init system debates, as the average Debian (and derivatives) install tends to work well enough out of the box.
*sigh* init system debates are usually about as productive as debating reproductive health issues, and about as polarized/unreasonable.
> The main thing that makes a program "bloated" in my book (beyond the use of heavy foundations/frameworks like Electron or whatever) is the practice of having a splash screen to mask loading times.
