 the moment i see the whole screen taken up by six humongous panels for one program each i just want to throw out my computeri have a non touchscreen laptop and a desktop pc and if i want to fondle screens i can use my phone Barnyard Protein posted:the only computers that sit on desks any more are workstations and servers... so truly... 2016 is YLDT my server sits under a desk though Notorious b.s.d. posted:it's not like kde and gnome sat down and said "gee how can we consume extra resources" i thought this mostly referred to things like cutting out anything complicated in the gui that looks neat but doesn't do anything if you're not trying to actually use linux on the desktop in tyool so when dorks whine about lightweight distributions that are still too bloated do they mean distributions which just cut the gui down to ugly mode but retained all background functionality

its probably some overcomplicated obtuse garbage in KDE; in GNOME its Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Sound and Media > Play (or play/pause)

Spotify registers as an MPRIS service. The thing that handles the Play/Pause key sends a message to Spotify using the MPRIS protocol.

Look at this loving ligature. Why is the stroke on the second "f" lower than the first one? Why take away the dot on the first "i" if the second "f" doesn't even reach that far? Maybe 2016 will fix this font.
