london on the track?

How are you up this early?
>>53698303
why is the aliased font in your panel a larger size than the anti-aliased font in your terminal? It's backwards and looks awful
>>53698567
it's because you're a smelly idiot and a paedophile
>>53698579
shut up Ben
More rice cereal please. What can I do to make this suck less?
>>53698395
please do this
>>53698347
is pretty good
Is there a basic I3 config file to get me started?
I'm too lazy to configure all this shit.
>>53698666
then don't use a highly configurable tiling window manager then, doofus. I doubt it will give you anything other than the superficial satisfaction of looking cool to your default windows-using co-workers.
>>53698666
There are only like 5 things to configure. Do you even rice?
>>53698666
The default one.
>>53698680
this is true but shut up anyway john

Except for keybinds, there is hardly anything to even configure??

I want to protect YuiKyo!
>>53698437
what? the sun has risen who isn't up at this time is my question.
Good evening, /g/!
>>53698567
Because I have to aim my mouse at my panel and click on things and I don't have to aim my mouse at my terminal font and also its the same size as my window title font for consistency it makes total sense and it's not backwards and doesn't look awful
>>53698303
>>53698769
I just feel like you should use an aliased font of equal size for visual consistency (especially if the aliased look is what you're going for)
>>53698680
Why are you here? Nobody likes you, autist
>>53698955
shut the fuck up anoymous. john is my favorite poster.

it feels overly complicated to have two pieces of software going for a single purpose, i don't know
>>53699305
this
>>53699320
you obviously don't understand the concept of client/server architectures then (and why it could be useful/better to have a music server running on some arbitrary port), but I guess your heart is in the right place.
>>53699320
ermm, it's not overly comlicated it is as simple as it gets. One is the actual music player (mpd), and something like ncmpcpp is just the interface, it's infinitly better than having both build into one single application you can't close.
>>53699305
Sadly, this appears to be true
>>53699320
oh, lots of other music players use mpd as a backend, but i get were you are coming from

thanks john
you're not as bad as people think
>>53699793
and while the enlightened academics and philosophers circlejerk over things that have real meaning to the populace and world, people here are trying to one-up each other with 'tiling window managers'/'anime'/absolutely horrendous taste all around. it's so obvious that all of these nu-posters are either 14 or literally mentally impaired.
>>53699826
shut up kisumi
so when did ca just become john?
>>53699832
And you are here trying to make them feel bad, what a truly great person you are.
where the anime posters at

there's no absolute ranking list on what deserves circlejerking afaik, you sound like an 18yo who needs to feel superior somehow, welcome to adulthood

of course they are. i just don't need to shove my superiority down your throat to feel I am above you
>>53699962
shut up john
>>53699951
thanks mane
>>53699969
the difference between you and me is the fact that I KNOW I am superior. I'm just here for the fun of it.
knowing you're superior while acting like you're not just makes you a conceited asshole. at least I'm honest about it.

Not sure where to start, maybe from how you can't infer that "difference" from my previous post. Ah fuck it, cba
>>53700048
the need to categorize oneself and tell others about it is often hand in hand with lack of confidence aka 18yo like my previous assumption
>>53700112

you'are gay, so you wouldn't understand a straight person like me

I just need some clarification , when you use those WMs like i3 or awesome, I never noticed the close button on windows. Dont tell me you always use keyboard for everything?
>>53700562
unfortunately, yes. some people completely abandon the idea of a mouse and just use their keyboard.
>>53700562
this is a common fallacy that new UNIX users fall for. they think the ELITE HACKER TERMINALS (using vim and stuff usually) make them more productive, but in reality, the mouse is the fastest tool for all computing.
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Mouse_vs._Keyboard/index.html
>>53700562
Using a hotkey to close a window doesn't mean you have to stop using the mouse.
>>53700562
I was skeptical but now it's terrible to have to use the mouse. Keyboard is much more efficient.
>>53700608
normally you'd be right, but on a shitty laptop touchpad, no
If you have a nipple mouse you don't have to take your hand from the home row anyway do it's fine for vim scrolling
>>53700647
>vim
LOL
>>53700608
You're insufferable
>>53700624
you're wrong.You feel more efficient using terminal/text-based programs "because you're always doing higher level cognition" GUI programs "might feel slower since you're acting instinctually but you're actually moving faster."
>>53700638
that is irrelevant since doing any sort of modern power-user computing using a shitty laptop touchpad is idiotic. just buy some $1 Chinese mouse and be done with it.
>>53700647

Teamspeak icon looks a bit blurry in comparison to the other icons on the bar, but that's gimp's fault.
Also I have no idea how I change the color of the user prefixes/modes in weechat.
What's next?
>>53701061
no I don't. I have a retro desktop. vaporwave is a damnation of the retro look by 20-something hipster "I'm not like other girls" college girls and bad taste teenagers. It's disgusting and my current project is in no way comparable
>>53701068
literally anything aliased, since that one: looks like shit at that size and doesn't match the rest of the desktop aesthetic. I've never seen a terminal irc screenshot with an anti-aliased font that looks good.

Good morning friends
>>53701128
I don't expect someone with taste as bad as yours to understand this, but the 'vaporwave' trend is a specific musical trend with a focus on retro WINDOWS aesthetics (usually) and ancient greek sculpture, from what I have surmised. I have been posting, theorizing, and amassing retro artifacts for YEARS before the stupid vaporwave trend even BEGAN.

one of my passions is building upon that from the past which I deem pleasing. I meld the present to it in order to form a more perfect union of aesthetically pleasing user interface design.
