TechrightsSocial@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: #ClassWar ends up being a digital war (e.g. Wikileaks vs Rogue Establishments) because that's where people and information live.Nov 09 00:06
schestowitz"You may be right, actually. I never thought of it this way. It may be a class war. However, I don't really think it's a good idea to support such division. I'd rather say there are intelligent and stupid individuals [and when I say "stupid" I mean "unaware", "unconscious"]. Original "class war" concept is corelated with economy, money, material stuff, etc. It's not the money that is a problem. It's how you use it [thus, we Nov 09 00:06
schestowitzneed intelligent individuals]."Nov 09 00:06

schestowitz"I truly see history repeating itself with Apple in the mobile scene as it did in the desktop/home computing scene. They had a chance to do something different (to paraphrase their old slogan) by being open especially given the open source roots of their proprietary OSes, yet they opted for going back to a closed ecosystem. Very rare that companies get second chances to rectify their errors, and I don't see it happening with Nov 09 15:34

schestowitzIMO it can be rather compared to Gnome2 or XFCE than to Gnome3. It has many effects but there are many options to control the behaviour and even turn them off. In this point, it reminds me of KDE, but it is just the graphical shell /the desktop instead of "everything".Nov 09 16:02
schestowitzYou are right, it is not as light as LXDE or a pure WM (E16 ;)) but is a useful DE, smaller than Unity, Gnome3 and KDE and it performs fine. I can only recommend everyone to take a look at it.Nov 09 16:02
