That's true, I didn't think about this. It's a shame people here also have the 'new = bad' mindset.

Interesting. I'm curious, do you know if there is another asset Japanese people have that is very valuable if not their home? Or some sort of investment?
6.
by anneessens 2y ago
Yeah, it's a very difficult situation. Either few people from younger generation will have access to affordable housing and even fewer will own a home, or we cause a lot of misery and hardship like during the 2008 crash, but for even l

The short sightedness is the problem. As far as I know, NIMBY is endemic in the USA, precisely because home owners are so worried about lowering the value of their home.

by anneessens 2y ago
This exactly. It's in the best financial interest of a homeowner to stop as much new construction of homes as possible. Until we move away from the idea that owning a home = wealth, then I don't see how this problem can be signifi

Is it possible to use this import tool for my own local files without an Ente subscription? Because I have that metadata issue with Google Photos, but unfortunately I don't have the programming skills to write a script.

by anneessens 3y ago
I have the exact same metadata issue after exporting from Google Photos. Would you mind to share which tools you used to fix it?

No one here said that GNOME shouldn't be appreciated. Just because I said GNOME is unusable for me personally doesn't mean I can't appreciate it. I have tried GNOME before, thanks for your assumption, so I know for a fact it&

You're the only one who takes this 'war' seriously. The rest of us here are adults who can appreciate all desktop environments, even if we don't personally like to use them. Go annoy someone else.

It's unusable enough for me that I would rather switch back to Windows than keep using GNOME. And I really don't like Windows. What does this discussion gain from you being pedantic? Everyone with common sense knew what I meant.

Oh, I didn't know that shortcut for minimizing. Is there a reason the button is hidden by default? I never really understood how to efficiently use virtual desktops or what their benefits are compared to one desktop. Would you mind to

Well, that's why Plasma has that box I mentioned, so you can select without using the keyboard. But selecting multiple files requires you to press CTRL anyways, so I'm not sure why it why you think it would be weird to use CTRL fo

I understand that GNOME has a clear way how it wants you to use the desktop, but I don't like that way for the reasons I described. And it's not just a 'different' way, I feel like I lose functionality and flexibility in

I don't really understand where you would put your hand instead. In your lap? Why not have it on the keyboard? Ok, I see what you mean by Miller columns now. I guess I wouldn't consider that image preview on ths side 'opened&

by anneessens 3y ago
Yes, 'just'. Do you not always have at least one hand on the keyboard? I'm not familar with Miller columns, but if you're changing the behaviour of your file browser, then I'm not sure why you're suprised singl

Yes, this exactly. It's a small time investment that improves my experience significantly.

I experience some random visual bugs occasionally with Wayland, but yes generally it's decent. But I could understand if someone would want a more stable experience. Yes, I don't like that about GNOME either.
23.
by anneessens 3y ago
Yes, absolutely. Perhaps not directly with the DE itself, but the DE affects how I work. On Plasma, I have it set up so I have all title bars hidden and I use custom keybinds to close, minimize and maximize windows, which saves screen space

I absolutely agree with that. I was just curious to know what he doesn't like.

by anneessens 3y ago
Fair enough. I guess I have a hard time understanding why you wouldn't be interested to make the workflow fit better for yourself on a device you spend hours per day using.

by anneessens 3y ago
Well it's not a hyperbole, my productivity would suffer immensely if I had to use GNOME. And since GNOME doesn't offer much customisation, I couldn't make it work better for me, which is why I use Plasma. That doesn't m

You can just press CTRL and click the item. And on Plasma specifically, there's a box on the corner of the item with a '+' you can click which only selects the item. Well, I don't have my desktop set up to use drop down

I believe improving Wayland support was one of the major goals of Plasma 6. So if it was just the Wayland integration putting you off, then maybe consider trying Plasma again soon.

Well, I can understand why KDE made it default since it's the behaviour everybody else expects now. But it's weird that it became standard in the first place.

If you haven't tried single click to open before, I would highly recommend it. I used to hate it as well, but going through folders and files is so much faster now that I'm used to it. And if you think about it, a single click to
