For me it's still total immaturity everywhere in GUI and consumer hardware. The most performant mail client, kMail, cashes too much, when it has more than ten thousand of emails its performance is very bad it's preferences are somewhat crazy. Still a mess with DPI scaling. Still a mess with the mix of different KDE/Gnome/Qt styled applications everywhere. None of the modern distributions can turn off my monitor by DDC when entering dark mode after computer inactivity. I'l kee my hackintosh as long as i can, it handles hardware much more better than any other OS.


kMail is not the most performant mail client. Neomutt works fine with > 10k emails.

DPI scaling works fine with Wayland + Kanshi, and a few environment variables for GTK+ applications.

The "mess" of application styling is an application-level problem, and the same problem exists in plenty of Windows applications.


I didn't use Windows for more than a decade, but I don't remember a mess with the standard dialogs in it. Maybe with the Qt-based applications, which brings their crap everywhere.

Neomutt is not a GUI mail client, and from usual distributives-oob clients, kMail seems to be most performant.

DPI scaling works terribly everywhere in Linux if you have more than one monitor with different DPI, none of the most popular distributives has it fixed.

I understand you wanna say that Linux can be usable on a desktop with a jointer and a file, but my talk about usual people and what is wrong in it from their PoV. I love Linux kernel and how it behaves on servers, but it is a still crappy non-uniform zoo on desktops. Some strokes of light and unifying can be seen with the systemd, but it's not related to GUI yet, and even there it has some strong integration counterforces involved. Linux needs systemd for GUI.


Apple starting to be full of annoying bugs, that's very disappointing. My iCloud photos stop to sync completely and can't be re-enabled in any way. That's pity.


I am living in Transnistria. Nice place btw.


Are you a native or did you move there? How's Igor? Still fishing?


I don't know what that piece of old crap is doing now.


So you're an occupier?


a "liberator" according to him

pretty sure that's the current propaganda line


I don't care about governments, I born and living here. Those who don't like that can go fck themselves.


That's why your pointing guns at your neighbors... cause you were born "there" but don't like people "over there" and you think you should take their place?


So dumb provocation, Try harder.


I doubt most of Ukrainians knows Ukrainian language.


Not a Ukrainian but I know a good few. The language is taught at schools so you if you’re not educated in the Soviet Union you will know it. Whether you choose to use it is a different matter. And data would suggest that the usage is on the rise.


I've been in Ukraine last year and one thing I noticed that while people speak in Russian or in a dialect in private, they instantly switch to Ukrainian in public, like when ordering an ice cream from the street stall. They then switch back among them. It's fascinating how things changed in a few years.


That what I mean above, most people don't speak "modern Ukrainian". Even the language itself drastically changed on TV just in years.


> if you’re not educated in the Soviet Union you will know it

My grandparents and parents and siblings all learned Ukrainian in school during Soviet times. This is in what now would be considered a predominantly Russian-speaking part of Ukraine btw.


Ukrainians should pray to USSR because of active Stalin times ukrainization.


If only there were some way of fact checking such a claim . . .

This is meant in jest, of course.


Nope. If they acknowledge you've been on 'occupied' territories, they will reject entry and prohibit it for 3-5 years.


You get similar treatment with an Israeli stamp in your passport if you go to many Muslim countries, not that they will actually stamp your passport anymore. Cuba and DPRK will also avoid stamping your passport for similar reasons with respect to American sanctions (no idea bout Iran).


Sure, I just answered on the question if the person visited Crimea will be jailed in Ukraine.


It's a little difficult to be aloner these times, need to force yourself to continue learning modern trends, because often your clients doesn't care about raising of your skill levels. But it's still possible.


Maybe in US but not in eastern Europe. Speed limits and road restrictions are significantly hardened last two decades, as well as casualties per capita.


There are more cars then years ago. Way more cars.


That's wrong. Perpendicularly opposite arguments for the same questions are in the well-crowded cities in exUSSR eastern europe. It's just a result of masses controlling. By the fear.


Really fun article for those who had chance to grew in one of worst holes of the freshly decayed USSR at nineteens.


Yep, that's all interplanetary warning due to fossil fuels.
