2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Wobbly windows are cool, but have you tried the effect that burns up the window when you close it? That one is lit

    [–] [email protected] 46 points 10 months ago

    Yeah that effect is fire.

    If that's actually a thing, I need it!

    Oh yeah, party time.

    Edit- really wow this is much more advanced, many next level effects

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Wow that's a cool idea, though the fire shader has some room for improvement.

    If only some of those VFX shader developers from the gaming industry found their way to this project...

    Will definitely give this a try next time I use a GNOME DE.

    It's also available on plasma.

    something like this would be really neat if you could have it interact with the borders of your other windows

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    Haha that's a way to do it. Awesome visuals though this is probably more CPU heavy than it's worth for the use case of destroying application windows.

    Not sure if simulating every active window is a good idea either. What if you accidentally set fire to your Facebook page?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    I want it to behave like Little Inferno and if the fire touches other windows they also burn.

    I set it to glitch when close, its great

    I used to do it with Beryl and Compiz close to 20 years ago, so I assume there's a modern version available.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    I used compiz fusion. Sadly it appears to not be available anymore.

    [–] federatingIsTooHard 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    compiz and emerald are still in the debian repos.

    This is how I remember it, it let users adjust the burn speed too https://piped.video/watch?v=mbT7FGMzVFw
