I've had to limit my interactions on both here and especially Hexbear because of this toxicity. Idealistic based bickering and hatred of individuals. Constantly wishing death on groups of people instead of understanding the material reasons they act the way they do.

I found memes like "To the wall with them!" amusing enough at first; but then I realized that more often than not the meme is being used seriously.

Playing devil's advocate - it looks like the main advancement made by SpaceX is the reusable rockets. Do you think this has a material benefit to space travel going forward?

In terms of the real economy, I would think this is beneficial.

Devil advocacy aside, I'm skeptical that reusable rockets should take priority over other possible areas of advancement; and of course, the inefficiencies and waste of the private sector should go without saying.

Yeah, I mean desktop environment when I say "UI." It's less about customizability and more about stability for me. Dolphin just crashes way too much for me in KDE Plasma. Like, anytime I do a search. I just go to the command line instead, which is unfortunate for a UI.

Compositing with X server is a mess with multiple monitors running with different refresh rates. Need to try Wayland and see if that's any better.

Also the snap-to on the edges for organizing multiple windows isn't quite as smooth. Still a million times better than Mac OSX.

But, it's open, free, comparable to Windows DE, and yeah you're right, much more customizable.

Also to be fair it's been awhile since I've given Gnome or some other DE a shot.

It's so good that even Windows has the Linux (optionally) embedded now.

Still like the Windows GUI the best, though KDE Plasma comes close.

Honestly I feel like it began with First Contact, but yeah Nu Trek is largely unfortunate.

Still kinda like Star Trek Beyond though. Probably most I enjoyed a Star Trek movie since The Undiscovered Country

Plant the seeds. Don't get dragged into a protracted argument if it doesn't turn into a good faith conversation. Take a deep breath. It's ok. Things take time.
