nah, i agree with you. win explorer with qttabbar, tortoisegit, and some tweaks from winaerotweaker
dolphin is pretty good though and it has some features that explorer doesn’t, like a terminal pane

but …surely you could just do the same thing with the old design? artist’s rendition:
in fact, now i look at it, it makes them look even more similar once i collapse the sidebar
meh, subjectively i find that creates a “worst of both worlds” situation. but this comment was more about the futility of the development time that went into this specific feature
maybe; but if the location of menu buttons hints at their use then the hamburger should collapse the side drawer like the one on e.g. youtube, but i doubt it does
I had to look up Fitts’s law, and I’m not sure I get it. Could you explain what you mean?
basically; the speed that it takes to click a button is dependant on the size of the button and the distance from the cursor. however, buttons at the edge of the screen have effectively infinite size, as they can’t be overshot. the most used actions should be placed there, as they are the easiest to click by muscle memory (particularly the corners, as they have infinite size in both dimensions)
on windows, kde, cinnamon, etc.; by default the bottom left is start, the bottom right is show desktop (this one i can’t explain), and the top right is close maximised window. the top of the screen is also used for other window-related actions like minimise, restore, change csd tabs, etc.
gnome flouts this by having most of the top of the screen doing nothing (most of it is completely empty) apart from rarely used actions like calendar and power. and the bottom right and left doing nothing[1]
did i explain well?
ETA: I kinda feel like mine was about KDE not being a fit for me personally, and yours was a slam on Gnome rather than a statement of personal preference.
nah it was very much a personal thing: some people like having a minimal and clutter-free feature set; i like having as many features as possible, because then i find features i didn’t even know i liked.[2]
as for the top bar: this one confuses me - it just seems objectively bad. but obviously it’s not as some people clearly like it. i haven’t had anyone actually explain to me why, though
i didn’t know how useful a terminal embedded in the file manager would be until i started using dolphin, now i can’t do without it ↩︎
every time i try to use gnome, i end up spending all my time going “dammit, where are all the bleeding features”
(also the lack of fitts’ law adherence due to that pointless bar at the top)
yep, that’s me
i’m not even sure it’s worth having an option. i don’t think i’d even have noticed a difference, apart from the menu button being in a slightly different place to every other gnome app. it’s fine; but it wasn’t worth the development time
who even decides what’s “modern” anymore?
edit: people are getting confused by the fact that one is tree view, not icons view so i changed the image. old image here
thank you for your work sunaurus, and i’m sorry you had to sort through this
(particularly annoying though, as i never got around to adding a user banner; and i had one in mind as well. i wish there was some way to externally host avatars and banners)
nakoichi, i don’t care. i’m not taking sides in an argument between you and randint: i’m saying that i like hexbear and i dont’t want to defed them, and if randint doesn’t like you i’m advising him in how not to get drawn into an argument
oh hi aktion. you know you’re being talked about?
and yeah, that’s mostly my experience on hexbear lemmyspheres, although i must admit i don’t do a lot of shitposting
really? just people posting their thoughts on your instance? what’s the point?
yeah don’t consider it, just do it. maybe it’s just me being influenced by tumblr cultr, but 1) he won’t know, 2) there’s no point in arguing with someone if neither of you are going to change the other’s mind, 3) it harms no-one. just block anyone you don’t want to talk to
i’ll admit i almost never blocked anyone on reddit, but there were so many people it was kind of useless. here it actually can make a difference to your experience, i think
i think randint is talking about the lemmee megathread where we were discussing whether to defed hexbear. i have no idea why he’d post this on your megathread
Well yeah I guess I should have expected this coming lol. But to be fair I don’t think me commenting on cth justifies their personal insults.
no, it doesn’t. but it also doesn’t justify you demanding that l.ee blocks them entirely. personally, i haven’t had any bad experiences w/ hexbear, and i’m subscribed to at least one of their lemmyspheres.
Also, another half of personal insults happened on !worldnews@lemmy.ml.
yeah, that i can’t (and have no plans to) defend. but my i did skim the thread i believe you’re talking about, and whilst some of your ripostes are quite good; my advice would just be to block AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net and just not engage. just walk away from the computer and make a cup of tea. i know that’s what i do
if you feel like being courteous you can tell the person that, or you can just block them and not respond
okay but here’s the thing - you commented on cth. what did you expect
this is like going on to 4chan /r9k/ or /pol/, being offended, then writing a letter to your isp saying “can you block access to 4chan for your customers”
don’t ask lemm.ee to defederate, just block the community
also the megathread is probably locked for a reason
sunarus said he didn’t plan on doing so, for security reasons - see here for info
which on one hand is a shame, but i can see where he’s coming from
