Sure, some probably do. And you can be sceptical and discuss why that’s a dangerous and undemocratic direction. Effective Altruism is a question, not an answer. In thr community, asking for and being open to critical feedback is encouraged as the main tenet of good culture.

But if you look at the amounts, most EAs donate most to helping the poorest people alive today. Because it is so obviously good, and proven to work with high certainty.

Nice clean dark theme! Love the thin top bar.

I don’t think there’s a strong consensus in this community yet, but I would also strongly prefer “customize”, “style” or any other word due to the racist origins of the use of “ricing” in the meaning “to customize”.

Love the clean and consistent look and I’m a little jealous. Blur is the only thing I miss in Sway.

Sounds great! Is there a reason you can’t share the repo? If you’re not version-managing your dotfiles yet, I highly recommend chezmoi. It simply creates a git repo somewhere in .local/share and then lets you sync your home dir to that and the other way around, as well as diff etc.

Looks great! I’ve been using a similar setup (Sway + Waybar + neovim) but on Arch.

I can live without animations but the lack of a blur option for transparent windows has me ogling SwayFX. I love my terminal semi-transparent. I use kitty for a terminal and have been playing with the extremely responsive and minimal tofi. Check it out, seems to match your vibe.

Waybar is styled using CSS. I just googled CSS character spacing and found this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/letter-spacing

Let me know if you need any more specific pointers.

Someone showing off their uniquely styled desktop. Usually showing multiple panes, one of which is an empty desktop and some apps in another to show the background and window styles. If you are used to things close to the Gnome/KDE/Cinnamon default looks and are confused, they did a good job!

River is a tiling window manager FYI.

The “dotfiles” contain all the relevant config. Most of it is in ~/.config usually

You’re right. I prefer dark mode personally, but the science is clear: light mode is better for the eyes.

Might I suggest changing your terminal to a light theme too? That would really complete this.

Are you running for a seat in the European Parliament next year?

Maybe this is a problem with my setup, but though I do see a dekstop in the thumbnail, clicking the link takes me to an r/funny post. Could you upload your screenshot in a comment here? @skqweezy@lemm.ee

I’m interested what it looks like, since AFAIK, XFCE is still the desktop environment to install on old potato-specd machines. But it’s a lot harder to get it to look good than stuff like KDE, and Gnome

So if gut bacteria have a serious influence on the brain’s behavior, does that make us cyborgs driving a mech?

This is awesome! I hope it takes off. Don’t have any tablet or convertible laptop right now so I can’t help with that but I’ll bookmark it for when I do.
