This was just annoying.

Very subjective, of course. I enjoyed this change. I think it made the tabs in vertical mode a lot clearer to distinguish. It became a lot easier to tell which container a tab belongs to, for one. Better contrast as well, IMO. Tons of improvements.

So I think this simple exchange proves the fact that not every change will please everyone, but they don’t do change for the sake of change. They do actually try to improve things.

Not sure what this all had to do with my comment, but sure. Always good to have alternatives for people who can’t stand telemetry even if it’s not sold on for advertising purposes.

So by that logic, people whining about design changes is a pretty good grade for Firefox? There’s nothing bigger to wine about? Sounds great. I’ll take it.

Really. I feel like the opposite.

I did go into the settings to check out the new “Compact Mode” and I noticed my UI was set to “Automatic”, and automatic for me meant compact for some reason. I changed it to be the “normal” one and it feels much more spacious now. Maybe that’s why I feel like it’s a nice change.

Do people have the same complaints against Chrome? I don’t hang in Chrome communities much, but I see rounded design is everywhere nowadays. I get the feeling there should be an equal amount of whining there?

I like it too. I don’t really understand the hate, tbh. There’s barely any change. Everything is still in the same place. Everything is still where you expect it to be. It just has an ever so slightly different shape, still as great click targets like before, if not better.

I’m always psyched for UI changes to see what the inspiration is now. Lately I feel like Chrome had been looking a little crappy. Like Chrome is the worst example of an implementation of material design, somehow. 😄🫣

I tried Dank for a while, but it just didn’t have the polish and feature set that I was looking for, that Noctalia had. Entirely subjective of course.

Parsing the output of rm, cp, mv, and such tools seems volatile. Better to use their return codes, no?

Niri + Noctalia combo is so OP. Also using that on regular Arch. Loving it.

Happy cake day!

Mosh is pretty good!

😂 Chrome 👏

For me it’s mostly about the library. If it doesn’t have the music I want to listen to, I have no reason to subscribe. I really, really wish Qobuz or Tidal had the library that Spotify does for my music taste. It’s a shame, but the bitter reality for me.

Yeah that’s a nice aspect to it, for sure. Like that band that took away all their music from Spotify in protest, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard.

Thanks, I might give this a shot. My whole family is on Spotify though so it’ll be a tough sell. We use it in order to play certain tabletop games as well, with printed links that open songs on Spotify. 😅

But this could be a fun experiment for just me.

it doesn’t even have to take as much time or drive space as you imagine.

I follow almost 2,000 artists on Spotify 😅

Is there a way I can probe this library you speak of so I can make sure it has all my shit before I devote all this effort and drive space?

It’s one of the things, yeah. I went through the Tidal trial period as well, and there were significant gaps in their library as well, with music missing that I really can’t go without.

And Apple… Well… No thank you.

I appreciate you giving me those tips though, thank you. 🫶

Well that sucks. They should be so happy that their API is being used on a platform where they don’t currently have their own applications.

What even happened? The dev didn’t really explain the reasoning behind this decision, just that it happened.

Okay then, wow. Glad I didn’t go through with my transition from Spotify to Qobuz. Fuck those guys. Both of them actually, but Spotify has more of the music I require. 🤷‍♂️ What’s a guy to do.
