Lemmy client with Reddit integration? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Where in the app is the lemmy integration? I've been using it for quite some time and never seen that feature.

Do cats eat frogs? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Yeah, they're curious and will try to eat most animals or plants. Frogs often carry harmful (to cats) bacteria and parasitic worms though..

I hate how Linux window styling has gotten "better" in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Please read again or comment on where I'm not clear. I'm trying to express about the exact opposite, I don't really care that much about how visually pleasing it is, I care about how usable it is. That usability is largely defined by contrast, largely because I'm don't have the eyes of a 7 year old.

I hate how Linux window styling has gotten "better" (beehaw.org)
 

Don't get me wrong, the average X-interface looks great. Some are absolutely stunning. But, in my opinion usability has gone down the toilet. Almost everything that should be a clear distinction is displayed in shades of the same color, including icons.

I'm now running an XP-inspired theme on cinnamon so I at least have some functionality (e.g. title bar in a different color, buttons with clear borders, etc). I wish I wouldn't need to, to have a productive interface. I wish for something beautiful and productive.

Seeing screenshots of someones Aero-inspired Steam-mockup inspired me to make this post. I found it attractive while I hated Aero when it came out and never used it (it was around the time I switched to Linux). Is there any theme/window manager/setup I should be looking at that I obviously haven't?

These in-ear things never worked for me either until they started making custom hearing protection with removable filters which are compatible with most in-ear headphones. And the best thing is that you don't need active noise canceling (depending on the openness of the headphones) because the thing is made to cancel noise. Downside is that they usually amplify bass much more than regular tips so you need to use an EQ.

Btw, it's possible to get some custom in-ear headphones where everything, including the tip, is one piece of plastic, which is supposed to sound fantastic, if you're willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money.
