What apps are open?

Are you using any extensions to modify the experience?

 

Here's mine, Ubuntu Linux 20.04 with Dash-to-dock modifying it:

My laptop, that I don't do my cool stuff on

What the horse considers play, the monkey considers business...

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

No, that's a legit Windows system. It's just inside the case of an old PowerMac G5.

i keep only the essentials as well, chrome, teams, anti virus, whatsapp, ok so maybe not essentials but definitely all useful stuff for a power user

image.png

Imagine everything i have written in a Linus Voice/ linus tone (Spock live long and prosper gif here ,idk why tho, i guess i just want to say that i like star trek and am waiting for new seasons of the ongoing shows), But seriously, a lot of what i type only makes sense when said in a Linus tone from an older ltt video (circa 2017-2019 & now 2024-onwards) basically before he got a beard and a lot of it should make sense even in a Linus with a beard face.

also note as per the latest typing test on my laptop, my accuracy is 69%

 

I'm not weird/creepy, I'm just observant I have ADHD and am not on any meds for it because I don't want to and don't need to be on meds. i also may just be depressed. If you find other things around you depressing, are you depressed or are you surrounded by depressing things?

Only file explorer and FF pinned. I hide all the shit Microsoft puts on my taskbar(Weather, Search, Task View[I use win tab for that]).

That's a bit some clutter on the right side.. Do you actually use that? I personally don't, and thought most don't too.

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

MKBHD is but an Apple propagandist and fanboy. Take his videos with a grain of salt, especially about anything Apple. In his video titled "I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!", he has shown that he makes no effort to fact check Apple's claims, and takes it at face value. I do not believe he can be trusted as an Reviewer/Influencer.

These are pretty much my "open on a daily basis" programs (F@H mainly for the events nowadays).

image.png.c9b9730e24d839c8b96f2e4b6607977b.png

I don't actually use all programs on a daily basis, i.e. I'm not drawing each day, or design a vector image, or a PCB/schematic (3rd, fifth and sixth icon respectively), but I use them often enough I just want to have them open at all times. Maybe I should just use my startup folder for these at some point.

 

I have bunch of more programs in the start menu, which aren't 'daily' uses, but often enough to easily click on them to open.

Some programs do get added/removed from the taskbar periodically, once I realize I don't actually use it daily (anymore).

My desktop is pretty messy, but I always have programs open so never actually see it.

I'm a nerd who runs Wayfire with no dock or taskbar. I have a panel at the top that shows the time and volume, but that's about it.

 

To switch between applications, I press a hotkey that nicely lays out all windows that are currently open, and I click on the window I want to switch to. Confusingly, this action is named "Scale" in Wayfire:

image.thumb.png.d44cc97e47e448d509817efce61027ef.png

 

To open applications I have another hotkey that opens nwg-drawer. My setup is basically GNOME Desktop but without the GNOME Desktop.

 

I never understood the need for an always on screen dock or taskbar, I've been using GNOME and recently Wayfire without one for years.

 

(btw I wouldn't recommend using Wayfire if you're not prepared to experience random crashes and a barely functioning desktop that needs a lot of complicated setup, and I still haven't figured out how to change the default wallpaper which is stretched to hell on my 10:16 portrait monitor, just use GNOME or KDE for something that works)

Isn't ChromeOS supposed to run on Low Spec Hardware that Most Mainstream Linux Distros out right refuse to install on?
