@itsfoss@mastodon.social Their pay is so low, it was probably easy for FAANG to find rubes to fill their executive positions and slowly dismantle the company from the inside.
I might be hawking a conspiracy theory, but their behavior all but leads any critical thinker to the same conclusion..
While I love #Firefox (and #Thunderbird) and #Mozilla in general, their Executives are traitorous bastards that are bought and paid for by those who hate freedom and free software.

On one hand, *lame!!* Die in a fire, copycats
on the other hand, *cool!* it's not my imagination that kdeconnect is the best phone app ever. thank you to all involved!! ❤️
@PureTryOut The irony here is, the first time i ever saw window shading was *on* a Mac. It was an addon app that eventually wasn't available anymore either. When i found it again in Linux (in the late 1900's), i was thrilled.
Additionally,
Window Shading is a great way to make sticky windows unobtrusive, while still keeping them top of mind..
Especially true for things like mixers (like pavucontrol) and chat programs.
when i need to reference something in a browser behind my ide, doubleclick on the title-bar is ALWAYS set on ALL my desktops to window shade..
It's invaluable for everyday GUI tasks.
Sure, this might not be everyone's experience, but for those that know and use it, it's a huge miss.
I use it reflexively, all the time.
Window Shading is a great way to:
- get my windows out of my way when I need to context switch (without switching desktops),
- reply to someone in another window on the same desktop (especially little windows like KDEConnect's SMS, or or Element)
- show or access something on my desktop (icons? widgets?)
- quickly hide the contents of an app from shoulder surfers
It's far more convenient and flexible than minimizing, or switching desktops.

Now if only window shading worked, I could ditch #X11 for good.
@troyunrau @cyborganism brother, if I didn't want 348472759362 options In my Desktop Environment, I'd use GNOME, which only had 3 options.
Fortunately, variety and choice are good for the ecosystem, so it's nice to have both over-flexible (#KDE♥️), overly-rigid (#GNOME ♥️ on phones and tablets), and every in between (#XFCE4, #Cinnamon, #cosmic, #lxde, et al, ♥️)
May the UX/UI gods bless all of them, honestly.
