@bedesqui That’s the thing about theming with KDE. They let you theme and customize practically everything but it all still feels very disjointed and non cohesive

i love how people build the most beautiful effects a computer could ever render, and we can all just fork their dots to use it ourselves but then I open bluetooth manager, or dolphin, or other software, and its the ugliest piece of interface ever made am I just bad at linux??

@bee_fumo This might be a meme but the Pipewire part is 100% true I know that much

Unemployment

@1ssve They have a spouse that works from home and don’t want to be around them

I’m trying to figure out why people “enjoy” coming in to the office over working from home, cuz there is literally NO valid reason

@AshCrypto If your coin didn’t reach a new ATH during the last bull run, it would be a good time to evaluate. And if it’s gone 2 or more cycles without an ATH then you just hate yourself

Wasted 5 years of my life for this shit

@softboywin I thought this until I dialed in the fit and stopped getting ones with the aggressive taper

The older you get the more you realize jeans are a terrible piece of clothing

@kartosiewicz @mussi3x @vmohv So do people like them, not really. They’re nothing spectacular just inoffensive

@kartosiewicz @mussi3x @vmohv Not really anything special because they’ve been using the same DBZ sounds since the beginning. Elbaph however has stepped it up since the old sound guy retired

If the pacing of the One Piece anime aggravates you so much, just read the manga, do anything else except watch it through One Pace, it’s a horrible experience.

@inkblotPrincess The average pace episode I believe is 2 chapters to 1 episode effects reducing the total episodes by half

@inkblotPrincess It’s a big improvement but still does drag for sure. A lot of unnecessary dialogue especially with the canon fodder, but if they cut too much then it’s probably harder for it to transition smoothly

It's a little scary, admittedly, that I am watching One Piece via One Pace--the edit whose sole function is to make the pacing of the show better--and my main complaint about the show is still that the pacing is really bad

@mussi3x @vmohv Music and sfx are the main reasons

@vmohv people will do anything but read the manga I don't get it

@litcapital Too dovish. Hopefully the next guy raises 100 basis points or the economy is screwed

The end of an era

I hate when people talk about credit scores. Isn’t 410 like super good

@samwell_gnarly_ My Experian is 808 but my FICO is 530

GNOME DEVS ARE CRASHING OUT ON MAIN DUE TO LTS DISTROS

@KobeissiLetter And people somehow still think that rate cuts are in the horizon which would put inflation at Covid levels

There it is folks: Interest rate futures now see a BASE CASE of the next Fed move being a rate HIKE. In fact, the odds of the Fed cutting interest rates before July 2027 are a mere 1%. As inflation hits its highest level since 2023, the Fed is left with no option. All as Consumer Confidence just hit a record low and the labor market is weakening under the surface. Rate hikes into stagflation are coming.

@GeekyVaishnavi @Windows @Apple Windows 11 is about to go from 8gb idle to 12gb

.@Windows got that @Apple skincare routine.

@KobeissiLetter Good, now he can raise the rates by 100 basis points and get us back on track before hyperinflation

BREAKING: The US Senate has officially confirmed Kevin Warsh as the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve to replace Jerome Powell.

@nicksortor Now raise the fucking rates please. 100 basis points or we are doomed

🚨 BREAKING — IT'S OFFICIAL: Kevin Warsh has been CONFIRMED by the US Senate to be the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve, 54-45 Jerome Powell is DONE! 🔥 President Trump's going to wake up in Beijing a happy man — if he even bothered going to sleep 😆
