Love the cheeky jab at George R.R. Martin, the site works fantastically, though as others have mentioned an ISBN search would make the entire workflow miles more efficient.

The given example is shockingly similar to what may actually pop up on the HN front page.

As a former moderator of r/unixporn (I went by u/fps_co1ncidence) and a longtime ricer of all types of Linux WMs/DEs, I can most confidentially assure you that there is nothing futuristic about what goes on there, just a lot of pointless tinkering and dotfile copy pasting.

The macOS experience is exponentially more polished and Apple will have to screw up phenomenally even from their current position to feel any threat from the FOSS community.

If I remember correctly it has something to do with Microsoft patenting window drag/snapping to the edge of the screen for resizing.

I mean, it's fast, that's all it claims to be really.

The UI is nothing that can't be fixed with an admittedly large amount of CSS tweaks :)

In such a situation I'd assume you have much more important things to worry about...

Oh my bad, i had a bit of a stroke writing my comment lol.

Pressing ZQ in insert mode also provides the same effect!

I semi-frequently send audio files to one of the aforementioned friends of mine, and that’s about it. Everything else is just images (which signal compresses to oblivion btw) and stickers.

The fact that there’s no way to view individual files that have been sent to/from me (+ their sizes) and remove them—like there is for messages.app in macOS—makes troubleshooting even harder here.

I will admit though that I haven’t looked too far into the problem but it’s seems to be an issue that just about every signal user I know deals with.

It also eats up disk space on macOS (and I assume every other desktop considering the client is the same), I've had to reinstall it multiple times now just to save almost a dozen gigabytes of space...

I'm not even an active signal user, I only have a few friends on there, I can only imagine what it's like for someone who uses signal as their only chat app, it must get crazy.

Disappearing messages (4 weeks etc.) help mitigate the problem a little bit from what I've noticed but it's nowhere near a complete solution.
