my answer was to change my GTK theme from Breeze to Adwaita. Still, I can't help but feel like the desktop Linux experience has actually gotten WORSE the past few years and a lot of it is GTK/GNOME's fault with its poor themeability and inability to even be consistent with itself

A desktop screenshot of Rawtherapee running in a KDE session. A menu is selected, it tries to center it around the current selection but it doesn't seem to understand the available size so there's a whole big empty area and most of the items don't appear until scrolling down

need to spend some time taking my github offline later. i don't want to exist to give copilot content and i think i've lost my passion for coding because of all this anyway. i'm just going to fade away

we eliminated a lot of tedious and pointless work WITHOUT the use of an LLM, just by replacing software that was patched together from legacy systems! every workplace i've been at has had these kinds of systems, but this work isn't sexy and doesn't get fortune investors excited, so...

as dilbertesque as my workplace may be sometimes, i do appreciate that (despite the rollout issues) they correctly identified that the way to actually improve efficiency was to replace aging systems with better conventional software, rather than throwing ChatGPT at the problem and firing everyone

an photo of a strip of 35mm negatives that has the outline of a flashlight holding the negative down onto a smartphone screen displaying a completely white image with the brightness all the way up as a light source, and the result has been inverted to create a positive image. the photo is of a girl on a boat

btw my mavica started giving a "For Infolithium Only" error or something like that and then shutting off even though the battery was fully charged... i wiped off the data contact on the InfoLithium cell and it seemed to fix it, so it's possible the contact is just a little worn out i guess
