he must work on their crypto side of house

Thinking about that piratebay interview from about ten years ago, when he said "We have another server in a place you wouldn't expect" and got dodgy when asked about details.

At the time, the rumor was that they had a cubesat in orbit serving files.

Now? I am warming up to the theory that the pirate bay was an early adopter of undersea data centers. Who would think to look in a ballasted box on the foundation of an oil platform in international waters?

ugh, painful.

I was going through Vala tutorials last night in preparation for a game project, and spent the whole time feeling like I was going on a furniture store tour that happens to be on top of a junkyard.

I'm sorry, this is an extreme noob question, but I have been trying my hand at proper gui programming and have a ton of questions.

To make gnome and related windows, you use gtk. To make kde and related windows, you use qt. gtk has become so obtuse in C that gnome devs made their own higher language called Vala that compiles down to C source. Qt has become so convoluted that even the guides on how to use KDE creator don't always work. Lots and lots of programs now exist that do not follow your window manager's decorations at all.

How did we get here? How did we do it back in the day?

I look at old screenshots of late 90s to early 2000s era linux, and I see a lot of windows that follow the menu conventions of the host window manager. I've found some tutorials from the 90s for X11 programming that makes a window, but doesn't include how to add window decoration elements to it.

I, a fool, thought that there was some standard for GUI applications that gets read by your desktop environment of choice to put the menus and things in their right place, which I guess is sort of true with gtk and qt, but I thought it was some centrally defined part of x11 or wayland instead of a couple of frameworks that we all collectively decided are good but different from each other.

@JessTheUnstill Gnome programs plus KDE for the window manager, using xfce (opensuse edition) icons

we should sell tiktok to Novell instead. What's the worst that could happen?
