    FYI, if you use code format instead of the quote, the entire text in the box is displayed in one line, so people reading it have to scroll the tiny box horizontally - and in my case when I’m trying to do that on desktop, the scroll bar obscures most of the text:

    This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time.

    an incredibly small thing that rubs me the wrong way more than it probably should about their setup is that they set Plasma animation speeds to much higher values than the stock Plasma desktop uses. sure, it could be just a part of their customisation tweaks the same way using fish as the default shell is, but it feels like a cheap trick to reel in the “I installed it on my desktop and it’s soooo much snappier” review kind of people. like, if your work is as good as you claim, you shouldn’t need to artificially make the improvements seem bigger than they really are.
