Mad Mathematician Nicco is back with more features.
Wow this looks great, surprisingly polished for KDE (and I say this as someone who enjoys KDE)
Yeah I really like this… Especially the animation on the overview and the rounded corners on the dock. Can’t wait till they get Wayland support all figured out, then it’s gonna be 👌

That was all over the place, and browsing that video, I still have no idea what it’s about when a few paragraphs of text would have done the job just fine and taken less than a minute to parse.
It’s more of a sequel to his previous video on the topic, doesn’t make as much sense on it’s own
I’m sorry I just can’t bring myself to watch a video whose thumbnail looks like that.
What’s wrong with it? There’s no cringey exaggerated expressions or clickbait. It’s very functional
Yes, it avoids the worst of stupid thumbnail patterns that the YouTube algorithm pressures people into. Yes, nobody is making an O face, and the title isn’t misleading. But this is still in a style shaped by those same pressures, and IS cringey to me. Titling something “I did such and such” and the visual style… does this not scream dumbed down for the algorithm to you? Five years ago you’d have wondered if this was targeted at children or something.
Listen, I understand why people who may have good quality content make compromises to reach more viewers. You might think i’m being excessively hard-ass about it, but in my opinion, playing ball with the algorithm just contributes to the problem. The fact that the style of this thumbnail has become so normalized that people can’t even see what I find objectionable, IMO, just demonstrates what a slippery slope this is.
Why? It looks fine and clearly states what the video is about
