This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

God I fucking hate the refusal of some linux desktops (GNOME, Cosmic especially, I went from enjoying to absolutely loathing switching to it) to make it easy to make shortcuts for apps. Why the hell can't these people code an automated .desktop creator? Seriously.

You are gonna love GIMP, then /s

I think the main reason is that Linux tools are made by skilled programmers and the intersection between "dedicated enough to finish a project", "has time to do a project", "skilled programmer", and "skilled UI/UX designer" is probably very small.

I learned GIMP in school, so less of an issue for me. I made my profile banner with it. It's not really a UI issie for me and more the fact that I found all of one GUI tool for making .deskrop entries (I just couldn't get a manually written file to work, use the deadbeef music player and it doesn't have a pre-made .desktop entry). And I wouldn't be going through this if I could have a "create app link" button on right click extension, but Cosmic is still lacking unfortunately. I have other issues with Cosmic aswell, but this is the one thing that has legitemately made my blood boil when using linux. I'm switching back to KDE just because it has a one click shortcut solution. (And you can link directiories in dolphin too, I would use it if it didn't break visual cohesion, and I'm really pixky about that.)
