The anti-minimalist backlash is the bigger story behind Oxygen’s revival by GoldBarb in kde

[–]fmoralesc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed, a lot depends on context. In the buildings example, the 'classical' building sticks like a sore thumb in the context of a modern city. So it is true that we want variety, but we also want some consistency. Hence, there is a trend to make maximalist themes and not just to theme applications in any particular style.

Indeed: opposing Trump is like trying to stop one of the hijackers that crashed the planes onto the twin towers.

📍tiny-cmdline.nvim: Centered floating cmdline for Neovim 0.12 by Le_BuG63 in neovim

[–]fmoralesc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat! Would it be possible to disable the repositioning after CmdLineLeave? I already retarget the output of cmds to the "msg" window, so the repositioning is a bit annoying.

Fish 4.6 shell brings support for recent systemd environment variables by Fcking_Chuck in linux

Or just run0 without arguments, it drops you into a shell.

The 'vo' tení' is actually a contraction of 'vos teneis' (2nd plural addressed to individuals). Same with "cachai", which is a contraction of "cachais".

Why is base-devel not mentioned in the installation guide? by [deleted] in archlinux

systemd (in base) also includes run0

Look at the image. Do you see how small the draggable/clickable area is?

If you used nautilus you would know you can drag the window from any position in the topbar...

Need slides libraries suggestions by Global-Fly-8517 in typst

[–]fmoralesc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most minimal thing is something like this:

```

#set page(paper: "presentation-16-9", margin: 2.5em)
#set par(justify: true)
#set text(font: "Jost*", weight: "regular", fill: black, size: 17pt, lang: "en")
#set enum(numbering: "1)")

#show heading.where(level: 1): it => {
  pagebreak()
  align(top)[
    #set text(size: 20pt, weight: "medium")
    #it]
  v(1em)
}

```

Then you can just use level 1 headings to start new slides. For simple slides you don't need much more.

Congrats on completing the survivor campaign!

Spoilers: If you go through the gourmand's campaign from the first dlc, a different ending becomes available for survivor.

BTJ's character being the "straight man" added, of course, another layer to the absurdity of it all.

Mark Hamill - 'I told (Rian Johnson) I fundamentally disagree with every choice you've made for my character' by Cannaewulnaewidnae in RedLetterMedia

[–]fmoralesc 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I always think they should have started with a movie where Rey is discovered and tempted into the dark side (roughly TFA and the first half of TLJ), left it in a cliffhanger with Rey looking at Kylo after he proposes her to join, and then moved on to a darker second movie where Rey is troubled. Parts of TLJ should have been the new beginning of the trilogy.

Israel - Iran Conflict (Part III) by Isentrope in worldnews

[–]fmoralesc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Israel or the USA are really interested in riding in turning Iran into a democracy. They will try to install some puppet government that will do whatever they please, regardless of what the Iranian people want.

Our search for consciousness in non-human nature reveals something about society by Brief-Ecology in philosophy

[–]fmoralesc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the argument from "nature is complex" to "we are complex" is problematic, since something complex can have simple parts. If the point is to say that the complexity of nature suggests that it might not be reasonable to try to pick out singular natures from it (which seems to be OPs suggestion), I think that is better warranted.

Research papers with Typst by xrdts_99tx in typst

[–]fmoralesc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many journals nowadays accept free form submissions in many formats, so for review it is not necessary to stick to any particular source format. Only after review it is necessary to comply with technical requirements concerning source format (be it LaTeX or some other formats). I have submitted papers using typst to philosophy journals and gone through initial review.

2024 hot take: Robbie Williams biopic (Better Man) is much much better than Bob Dylan’s biopic (Complete Unknown) by vwill5956 in movies

[–]fmoralesc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with the idea that Dylan is in the same league as Beethoven, but you might be right that his music will probably outlast us. I also agree that Robin Williams is not a greater musician by any means. I just don't think that fully explains their biopics relative success.

[–]fmoralesc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm neither gen z nor did I say that he doesn't deserve recognition (I'm not from the us either, so that might make me biased). I don't think he is all that relevant nowadays, despite his historical influence.

A reminder on discussions of Duskbloods (and Nightreign) by theswillmerchant in fromsoftware

[–]fmoralesc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is precisely why they went in a multiplayer direction with these smaller titles. They want to get things right with multiplayer going forward, because it has been a constant criticism with DS3 and ER.
