@Techaltar any opinions on the current eInk phone trend? Do you see any value in a phone with incredible battery life and terrible refresh rate?

@hermzz @paige I think he's talking less about appeasing them and more about not dying to vindictive drivers hitting him out of spite

@paige I don't live in the area, so my opinion shouldn't matter. But had to say yes to congestion pricing on principle 😤

@that_leaflet @osnews Which is a little confusing to me. Why is it important for apps on the same system to share a design language? I have GNOME-looking apps, standard GTK-looking apps, KDE-looking apps, and they just look how they look. Is it an accessibility concern or something?

@osnews It's common for libadwaita discussions to talk about "integration" or a "worse experience", and I'm never clear on what that means. We're talking about aesthetic design inconsistencies, right? Or does this directly affect functionality?

@paige Imagine paying half the cost of the car just for a fancy car lock, because without it it's as good as stolen

@Techaltar doomed to fail? I just thought it was a minor aesthetic difference, and functioned basically the same as the ubiquitous app grid. Interested to see the video's take

@Techaltar Can't wait for the spambot arms race to find out what mistakes look the most genuine

@sesivany is this a dig at Qt / KDE? the recent round of corporate FOSS enshittification does make me nervous...

@ZachWeinersmith If you can't find black sauce of doom 2, sub with identical looking black sauce mixed with mystery ingredient you'll never find in any store
