https://www.phoronix.com/news/GYESME-GNOME-Downstream
(Interesting project, I like the concept to make GNOME more flexible while keeping the overall user experience. I don't really get why GNOME wants to tie itself to Systemd. Also, supporting ather design systems like the KDE/Qt ecosystem would be nice (if they mean that), I face theming issues all the time with programs written for KDE, which make some programs unusable for me, while other than the theming, they would be great for my use case. I'm curious whether this project will shape up as an actual, daily drivable desktop in the future.)
(I don't really get what they mean about "Defaults are protected more aggressively than options." though. It sounds like they want to limit customization, while in the rest of the description, they emphasize flexibility. 🤔 Or maybe I'm just interpreting it in the wrong way.)
(But other than that I like their mindset of listening to feedback, adapting direction accordingly.)(more Linux and FOSS news in comment)

Hi!
Perhaps a Re-#Introduction is in order since there's so many more people in this space to share stories and insights with.I'm an #Alchemist. I manipulate symbols and materials to effect #transformations and thus transform myself.
My practice was revealed to me in a series of trances by an ancient #goddess who has many historical forms. Some of these are the #Kemetic goddesses known as the Eyes of Ra. She recently revealed to me that she would like me to refer to her as #Hathor. I'm not second guessing that advice.I'm a cis het old guy (58) happy married for 25 years. I adore women. Mostly from afar.
Race- white, blue eyed ethnic jew.
My technique is centered on an apparatus I built based on a design the goddess revealed. I later connected the components and operation symbolically to equipment and processes described in classic #Alchemy sources.
I'm a non-traditional Alchemist. I don't use a forge or do metallurgy. My device is electrical and uses a type of #crystal to focus energy. It can roughly be described as a type of lamp. The picture shows the output of my process. It's called a #Violograph.It is commonly asserted, and I agree, that the coveted philosopher's stone refers to the practitioners themselves. As the goal of the process it is in reality the transformed person.
This is done by separating the spirit and soul from the #body, changing them and then re-uniting them in the body again. Carl #Jung has some interesting ideas on this.Politically- #anarchosyndicalist and card carrying #Wobbly. I’ve been working at the same factory for 28 years.
Other areas of interest besides the #occult are listed below.
Music-
I write songs, play electric #bass and #ukulele. Not famous at all.
A few faves-
#Motorhead
#HankWilliams
#CarolinaChocolateDrops
#Budgie
#JudasPriest
#JohnnyWinter
#BuddyGuy
#HotTuna
#WilliamElliotWhitmore
#JackBruceArt-
#GustavKlimt
#JackKirby
#FrankFrazetta
#ErnstFuchs
#GilbertShelton
Philosophy:
#Plotinus
#HerbertSpencer (I know- cringe)
#MaxStirner
#Hegel
#Heraclitus
#Iamblichus
Food: #glutenfree, I'll take what I can get. Non-celiac.Drink- #pinotgrigio wine spritzers mostly.
A pinch of #weed goes a looooonnnng way. After 45 years of smoking I'm a total lightweight now that it's legal here. That's #Chicago (officially a suburb 10 miles outside city limits), btw.Everyone I’ve met here is awesome!
Peace and Solidarity! -
I've tried running #Debain (my distro of choice) #Ubuntu #Fedora #Solus #Manjaro and a few others mixed with #XFCE #MATEde & #budgie on this MacBook a1181
Debian + XFCE or MATE was the only combination that worked.
Manjaro + XFCE, MATE & Cinnamon somewhat worked but was picky about booting and the system would lock up completely often.
I thought about giving #ArchLinux a try before reinstalling Debian & XFCE but I didn't feel like possibly wasting my time getting it up and running. A quick search to see if there was any quick graphical installer for Arch brought me to EndeavourOS. I selected #Gnome3 by mistake somehow and it's running better than my Debain install. And I didn't have to dick around to get the wifi working!
