I don't get it... it looks flat to me?

Is anything really "free"?

XMPP always seemed great, buy I have yet to find a client that can replace Telegram's client on both desktop and mobile.

It still doesn't actually display a window my end until I press a keyboard key or move the mouse. So very often I sit and wait for it to open, only to realize I have to press a random key for it to unhide.

Terrible Linux support.

I downloaded the Radicle desktop client yesterday, entered my new username and password and... nothing happened. Tried restarting the app and do it again, but I never got past the account creation/login screen. So my Radicle adventure ended there.

I just run Gemma4 12B MLX via Ollama and it's been doing fantastic work!

Is Gemma 4 E2B actually "usable"? I've been running Gemma 4 12B and it handles everything very well! But the second I've moved down to E4B it's been unable to perform the simplest of tasks. So I can't even imagine how E2B would do... Or am I doing something wrong?

I want to use Thunderbird, but it's so... weird. And why can it not be minimized to tray? Am I supposed to sit and keep the Thunderbird window open at all times?

I absolutely agree. I just don't like this American superiority on HN.

Probably because they're not corrupt America. They don't walk around checking their back every minute for "Uncle Freedom" screwing them over.

1.0 and Zed still won't appear until I touch my mouse or press a key after it's been started...

Daunk — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 14:55:57 +0000

Every KDE app I try (and the Plasma desktop) seems so good on paper, and they promise me the world! Then, wen I actually try them out, they always end up crashing or doing something weird. Like I cannot stand GIMP, so I've tried using Krita, but I don't think I've ever managed to finish something in it before it crashes. It's the same with Kdenlive.

Damn shame.

This happens to me when I brush off my mousepad too fast with my palm. It will also cause my wireless headset to "reboot".

I recommend changing the key to Super. As holding down Alt and clicking/dragging is often used by many applications and simply won't work then.
