Exactly what I feel when following the ext-zones discussion for so long.
This is one of the classic "#Wayland says No" situation.
I can literally feel the pain and frustration people have who attempt to push such solution forward.

I created a simple tool that helps Steam Deck users convert videos recorded by Steam's built-in recorder in a fastest way and share exported videos to PC via local network.
It's free and open-source and available on Flathub: flathub.org/en/apps/net....

I can finally replace ocenaudio with Audacity (when Audacity 4 gets released)!
Blender, MuseScore, Audacity overhauled their UI and UX and become very handy, now two more apps remain to have terrible UI/UX:
- Inkscape
- GIMP

Quick suggestion. Could you kindly add a dropdown next to the [New Message] button, and when clicking the down arrow, it shows a new [Plain-text Message] menu entry?
This provides a visual hint which could really improve its accessibility.

Somehow was talking about Thunderbird w/ my friend and I recalled this.
IMHO this is a textbook-level janky UI/UX design. From an end user's perspective they won't even possible to guess the correct way to enter plain-text compose mode.
I'll leave the correct answer below.

用了一段时间CSP，即便是很浅程度的使用，也还是发现确实是有不少易用性的东西在里面。
比如参照图层配合笔刷等工具的防止溢出选项针对上色就很实用，而且还可以直接在这个的基础上设置扩展选区而不需要手动创建选区。又如 Shift+Click 快速绘制直线就非常方便打框，不用来回切直线工具并且很容易画封闭图形/多边形。
Krita 的话，前者的参照图层部分，对于油漆桶工具其实有相对不太符合直觉的替代（选择颜色标签），但画笔就没有的防溢出功能了（或者我没找到）。而后者 Krita 必须手动切直线工具，非常别扭...

I have a long thread on Twitter* a few years ago related to why I don't use Firefox as my primary browser, I can't believe now this thread gets a *Bonus Time*!
None of the mentioned issues get addressed in the past 3+ years, and now we have a brand new ToS drama as well 🤣

DLC 初见总流程大概 ~4h，虽然感觉没有本体那么惊艳的脑洞，但是谜题设计很棒。值得一试！

Tesla 在德州的 Gigafactory 建造时，雇佣了 undocumented worker。这些人要么没有 document，要么一看就是假的。他们想加入工会又不能入，因为加入工会会被 e-verify 审查。为了赶工，Tesla 不管这一切雇佣这些人。现在 Elon Musk 反过来要求把这些人赶走，再加上 Elon Musk 初次创业时也没有工作许可，可谓虚伪至极。
