schestowitzThis afternoon it's supposed to be sunny... http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/9 ... getting rather tempting to go out for some fresh air at that time. I've been having a pint this morning. I guess I could find an excuse to classify this "socially" because I am chatting and one single pint does not have a major effect. :-)Nov 15 10:41

schestowitz> You have been drinking a pint this morning? That is terrible behaviour? :pNov 15 11:04
schestowitzIt is also quite unusual. But it's semi-sunny outside and I have 10 hours to go before I get to finish writing. :-)Nov 15 11:04
schestowitz"I don't share much about my personal life, except with those whom I trust. In general, my writings are technical and they almost entirely omit any personal aspect in order for them to be treated professionally and not as bits of shameless self-promotion. My writings focus on how technology can better serve and respect out society in a world primarily motivated by greed and power (over other people)."Nov 15 11:09

schestowitz"Nov 15 11:45
schestowitzthe author points out the shift to unity and gnome3 as reasons for people dropping ubuntu in favor of e.g. mint. That's probably the case. However, he also points out thatNov 15 11:45
schestowitz"Unless someone decides to bring GNOME 2 back from the dead and fork it into an independent project, even Linux Mint and Debian users will have to accept a radically new interface sooner or later."Nov 15 11:45
schestowitzThere are a lot of hard feelings around now against ubuntu, but I think this is what many folks forget: ubuntu was just pioneering the change all of the other distros will also eventually have to go through. Ubuntu may be sometimes a bit too fast with adopting new standards (see e.g. pulseaudio) but at least they are not nostalic.Nov 15 11:45
schestowitzThe ironic thing is that other distros that do the transition to gnome3 or unity later will profit from all the user experience and bugfixing that was gained due to ubuntu's early switch and will be able to make the transition more smoothly. People who switched now and have bad feelings for ubuntu shouldn't forget about these things imo.Nov 15 11:45
schestowitzBtw. I am neither a unity nor gnome 2/3 user (I am a very satisfied openbox/lxde user on lubuntu).Nov 15 11:45
