mmmm

And what do we see? Virtually unchanged phones.

You say this as if it was a bad thing.

Yes, shaving is a chore - when you have to do it on a daily basis.

As a professional bald fart for more than 15 years, one of the reasons I'm thankful to be able to work from home is that I no longer need to shave head+beard on a daily basis. I really dislike the "shade" so always tried to shave as close to the skin as possible, which took me up to half an hour. Now that I have a job I get to look like one of those wojak characters with aggressive baldness and not worry about shaving for days.

Granted, with a safety razor that time came down to like 20-25 minutes and got less nicks than with a disposable razor. But when I had the chance to get a Leaf razor that came down to 15-20 minutes and never got nicks again. And with that one it's like the best of the two worlds - multiple blades to speed and make easier the shaving process and the non-disposable razor with real cheap and superb blades.

It's because they think being dumb makes them tough.

I don't think there are any other options - as I understand that would require coloring an icon on the fly, wether a default icon or a custom icon

Not sure if this is what you're asking for but as with Dolphin 25.04.0 I can right-click a folder, select "Properties" (not sure if that's the actual name in english; or just hit Alt+Enter), click/tap the folder icon within the modal and search for a color in the search box - lots of tinted folders (but not so much colors, though) shipped with the default Breeze icon theme

Everyone seems to poke on the vim vs emacs/gnome vs kde/systemd vs everyone else but it seems to me the most toxic feud in the foss world has been x11 vs wayland. People had throwed shit at it because of their own specific issues and its "slow" development pace without realizing it's a titanic endeavour and the hate and toxicity brings absolutely nothing positive to the table nor the development of Linux & FOSS in general.

To each his own, and though I have never consumed any kind of drugs nor think I ever will (nor can't understand the need of drugs beyond medical field, pretty much contrary of what it is stated in the quote of this post), I concede keeping it illegal while at the same time alcohol and nicotine are both completely legal is one of the reasons I still think our so-called "civilization" is extremely idiotic, mediocre and pathetic. Either make all of them legal but regulate their consumption or make it so it never bothers anyone else or anything else in any way, or make all of them illegal - but the disparity of current legislation about all of them around the world is just nonsense.

And the rest of the world too.

My strongly held suspicion is that it's a form of the dunning-kruger effect. People have a lot of experience using software-A so much so that they tend to overlook just how much skill and knowledge they have accumulated with that specific software. Then when they try software-B they misconstrue their lack of knowledge with that specific software as complexity.

You just answered yourself. They're just tools.

I'm a professional graphic designer and I will never EVER support any initiative trying to get privative support into Linux and this kind of shitty mindset from colleagues actually irks me. I will support any initiative trying to improve what we already have. You don't even need to be a developer nor donate money to help - bug reports and translations are also a thing. That's how we got to get high quality software like Krita, Inkscape or Blender.

It boggles my mind people can bear a device that can end lifes in an instant and feel like they are fun. I guess this is making my unpopular opinion.

Do yourself a favor and hear that cover bit they did for Metallica's "Sad but true". They're pretty good musicians actually but they just choose to do more corny/commercial stuff – which imho is not valid reason for the hate. Sad but true.
