That's true, I didn't think about this. It's a shame people here also have the 'new = bad' mindset.

Interesting. I'm curious, do you know if there is another asset Japanese people have that is very valuable if not their home? Or some sort of investment?

Yeah, it's a very difficult situation. Either few people from younger generation will have access to affordable housing and even fewer will own a home, or we cause a lot of misery …

The short sightedness is the problem. As far as I know, NIMBY is endemic in the USA, precisely because home owners are so worried about lowering the value of their home.

This exactly. It's in the best financial interest of a homeowner to stop as much new construction of homes as possible. Until we move away from the idea that owning a home = wealth…

'Just don't be exploited' by people who are literally paid to figure out how to exploit your psychological weaknesses?

I'll check out this, thanks!

Is it possible to use this import tool for my own local files without an Ente subscription? Because I have that metadata issue with Google Photos, but unfortunately I don't have th…

I have the exact same metadata issue after exporting from Google Photos. Would you mind to share which tools you used to fix it?

No one here said that GNOME shouldn't be appreciated. Just because I said GNOME is unusable for me personally doesn't mean I can't appreciate it. I have tried GNOME before, thanks …

You're the only one who takes this 'war' seriously. The rest of us here are adults who can appreciate all desktop environments, even if we don't personally like to use them. Go ann…

It's unusable enough for me that I would rather switch back to Windows than keep using GNOME. And I really don't like Windows. What does this discussion gain from you being pedanti…

Oh, I didn't know that shortcut for minimizing. Is there a reason the button is hidden by default? I never really understood how to efficiently use virtual desktops or what their b…

Well, that's why Plasma has that box I mentioned, so you can select without using the keyboard. But selecting multiple files requires you to press CTRL anyways, so I'm not sure why…

I understand that GNOME has a clear way how it wants you to use the desktop, but I don't like that way for the reasons I described. And it's not just a 'different' way, I feel like…

I don't really understand where you would put your hand instead. In your lap? Why not have it on the keyboard? Ok, I see what you mean by Miller columns now. I guess I wouldn't con…

Yes, 'just'. Do you not always have at least one hand on the keyboard? I'm not familar with Miller columns, but if you're changing the behaviour of your file browser, then I'm not …

Yes, this exactly. It's a small time investment that improves my experience significantly.

I experience some random visual bugs occasionally with Wayland, but yes generally it's decent. But I could understand if someone would want a more stable experience. Yes, I don't l…

Yes, absolutely. Perhaps not directly with the DE itself, but the DE affects how I work. On Plasma, I have it set up so I have all title bars hidden and I use custom keybinds to cl…

I absolutely agree with that. I was just curious to know what he doesn't like.

Fair enough. I guess I have a hard time understanding why you wouldn't be interested to make the workflow fit better for yourself on a device you spend hours per day using.
