This sums up how I feel nicely. No issues with parens...but whitespace...fuck that shit

Environment variables are easy to setup in bash? It's never been anything other than straightforward in my experience

Always has? It's supported java and I think python for forever

Huh, tbh I've never given KDE a real try. I used it way back in the day on OpenSUSE because I wanted a windows experience but that was when I was still playing around with Linux. I've never used it full time. My first full time DE was cinnamon and eventually I decided I wanted something radically different and so went to gnome 3 and never really considered KDE as radically different from anything I had used before.

LOL, yeah, honestly with how hard I got ratioed it's like I offended someone XD. I just found it an odd choice to complain about windows aesthetics and then be like "here's my fancier windows" but to each their own. Anyway, glad you like the project and find it useful.

That's fair, also I'm not saying KDE doesn't have a use case, for example people who are tired of windows for one reason or another but like the windows UI. Cinnamon has a similar use case which is one of many reasons I think mint is a great starter distro. I just found it odd that somebody who didn't like the windows UI went to that desktop over the other less Windows like desktops. Comment got ratioed so hard people seem to think I'm hating on the guy or his rice but I just find it odd to not like the windows UI and then go to one of the most Windows like desktops.

🤔 I'm actually surprised it's THIS customizable. We're talking functionally right? Not just style. Idk I guess I'm not a huge fan of the "start menu/task bar" and having a desktop, maybe I'm the weird one though. I ran vanilla gnome and then sway so desktops and taskbars and all of that aren't really my thing.

Yes I do lol, not very often I get recognized in the wild. Hello.

The windows UI being boring doesn't necessarily have to be caused by a lack of customizability. The windows UI is just a boring UI design even if you make it more customizable. Makes it better, but doesn't fix the problem IMO.

🤔 hating the windows UI and then going to KDE which is basically a more customizable windows UI seems...odd

Tom Scott actually has a video about this which also talks about why you can't end sentences with contractions. https://youtu.be/CkZyZFa5qO0

Funny, I actually recently went trying to find this exact video trying all sorts of different searches. Ik one of the girls names but that doesn't make finding it easier

🤔 that's a fair point...

It's actually not. Objective-C is a superset of C. C++ is not. It's MOSTLY compatible...but it's not a superset. See the restrict keyword, or the need for casting to and from void*, or the inability to name variables new or delete, or class, or this. I can't count how many C projects I have which use this as a variable name that WILL NOT compile as C++...or the need for extern C to call C ABI code...in no way is it a superset

EDIT: lol, you can downvote me if you want but I think you need to lookup what a superset is

There was actually a really interesting idea I heard to have no time zones. And I actually think it could be a good idea. It'll never happen because people would need to re-learn time but if it was always the same time everywhere it would make scheduling and business so much easier. No one would need to convert between different zones or be late because of an incorrect conversion. The downside is that times which are conventionally morning or evening etc, would no longer would be so people would have to get used to time just being a construct for scheduling and not a representation of the natural day/night cycle...but it actually doesn't sound like a half bad idea.

From a development perspective it certainly sounds easier to have one global timezone with DST than a bunch of smaller ones without it. Would that make sense in reality? Probably not but I definitely think timezones take more work to compensate for properly.

Where's the .EnableUltraUltraWideSupport(). Gotta have my 48:9 aspect ratio

🤔... I've never liked i and don't use it...not sure why. I keep thinking I should start but alas I just don't.

Yeah, I was ignoring apple platforms because Objective-C doesn't even have its own header extension as an option. Also not all C headers do extern stuff...and it doesn't fix 100% of compatibility problems when you do that anyway. Also I'm not really talking about it from a compiler perspective, I'm talking about it from an organization and human perspective. I know compilers generally don't care...which is exactly how we ended up in this predicament.

Yeah. My original comment should have been "I wish people would use a C++ specific extension for headers." I just picked hpp because cpp seems to be the most widely used C++ extension.
