You might add Bitcoin, Lighting or Monero to your donations page. Would've gladly dropped you a few bucks but I don't use any of the services you're offering.
Thanks for the suggestion, that’s a fair point. I currently rely on a couple of mainstream platforms mainly to keep things simple, but I do see the value in more open and permissionless options like Bitcoin/Lightning or Monero.
I’ll definitely consider adding at least one of them going forward. Really appreciate the willingness to support.

As I mentioned previously, the above approach seems to be well enough and good.
I actually wish macOS would clone Alt-dragging from anywhere to drag and Alt-right clicking to resize from anywhere from Linux (at least GNOME and KDE Plasma have this built-in). That would certainly solve most of the complaints in the original post.
*GNOME features, not Linux features. No such issues over here on KDE.
I have often felt like GNOME is the most Apple-y of desktop environments; they're very form over function. Not surprising to me at all that both would pick a design that seems beautiful until you try to use it.
Shortly after Windows 10 came out I was joking that Microsoft finally made a Linux distribution (by replicating all the jankiness we usually associate with it).
I believe the parent is referring to how GNOME 3.0 had some really bad resizing grabs. Single-pixel widths at the edges, and almost impossible to hit corners.
I was about to suggest Xfce as an example where window resizing is effortless due to the <super>+<right click> behavior. You can just grab the rough sector of a window to resize it.
> Yeah, because millions of people are just stupid remote-controlled robotic zombies who will, upon a command of the CIA, go into the streets against Basij thugs who are willing to shoot at them.
What a lazy and ignorant attempt of spinning this. That's on the same level as the "so many people would know, no one could keep it a secret" fact check drivel. You don't need people to be stupid, "remote-controlled" nor robotic zombies. You just need to keep on funding assets, recruit new people and the seeds will form a groundwork sooner or later.
> But I find the opinion that everyone in the world just obediently dances by someone's flute quite dehumanizing.
Basically no one means this when they speak of regime change operations and people participating in it.
I know a few activists who were involved in sending dialup numbers to fax machines during the Arab Spring during the Internet blackout in Egypt and most of them are pretty much aware that they were mostly pawns for Western governments.
Iranian economy is absolutely terrible, their government hangs people like there is no tomorrow, the ayatollahs dip their beaks into every viable business and steal like crows, the official ideology of the system is a primitive medieval theocracy pushed on educated and modern people. Plus the very same government, after spending a lot of money on arming itself, proved incapable of beating back an aerial assault of the "Little Satan" back in June.
If I lived in Iran, I would need no CIA to be angry about the status quo.
> Basically no one means this when they speak of regime change operations and people participating in it.
They do though. Spinning the 2014 Maidan Revolution as a fully illegitimate CIA-backed coup (with the implicit conclusion that it's against the will of the people) is one of the main rhetorical pillars used to justify Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Had to laugh out loud when checking this out. So now you're expected to keep two pieces of glass clean in order to a) not see smudges and b) not scratch the original display because there may be dirt on the touch screen and you can't just close your laptop shut anymore if you're in a hurry?
Not even a hint of a price region as well. Can't imagine anyone really asking for this. Just get an iPad.
Edit: Correction on the no price thing, it's relatively cheap for Kickstarter.
Not even close to security provided by GrapheneOS, ships Android 15 and the phone looks quite ugly with that big branding on it. I'll stick with GrapheneOS and Pixels.
Some data magicians unlocked the secrets of the Oculists are while back, which got me to finally dig into some occult literature and various secret societies. Hope this does the same for others.
All other interview processes (that I've witnessed or heard of) waste anyone's time with barely anything to show for though, regardless if it ever comes to a offer.
