This might be what I was looking for all along in a window manager. For the longest time, I’ve been dissatisfied with the drawbacks of both floating and tiling WMs, but hopefully this can deliver the best of both worlds.
The special counsel investigation into Donald Trump secured a search warrant of the former president’s Twitter account, @realDonaldTrump, according to a newly unsealed court filing.
You know, I've always read that COBOL projects still get maintained to this day because the costs of rewriting these projects just are too high. I wonder if there's a cutoff point where maintaining them starts costing more than the rewrite. I just don't see how organizations can justify maintaining these projects without these kind of changes forever.
I'm incredibly interested in COSMIC DE! For multiple different reasons, actually.
Rust - I'm very interested to see how performant/memory-efficient this DE will be compared with other DEs. Also, I wonder how the Iced toolkit will evolve and be adopted in other projects.
Benefits over GNOME - I'm looking forward to seeing how much out-of-box customizability and features come with COSMIC over GNOME (which I'm currently using).
Maintainability going forward - Since the DE basically started from scratch and is using a much better language for robust software, I wonder how much easier and faster it would be to maintain the desktop environment. This potential improved maintainability could be huge in overtaking other DEs sometime soon.
And the GNOME project doesn’t just use C/C++ right? It uses Javascript for developing all sorts of components and Python for scripting/misc utilties. That’s what I meant by more memory-efficient.
My experience with the Fediverse has only been through Mastodon, through which I struggled to find a community I really gelled with. Either it was supper overwhelming with meme posts or NSFW, or it was too chill to the point of nothing. Or, it was hyperfocused like FOSS/Linux and became uninteresting after awhile. May try again,...
Yeah in general, I like forums better than the format Twitter is in. I like topic-based discussions more than discussions spawned from short, potentially out-of-context messages.

What are your thoughts on the upcoming COSMIC DE?
Basically title, with System76 moving from gnome to their new rust built COSMIC environment what are your thoughts?
I like this significantly better than Mastodon
