Discussion Update on Rules and Quality Control

123 Upvotes

Hi everyone, it's been a minute since the initial discussion post about quality control issues. Let's talk about it.

The general consensus seemed to be that our ideas on what to change were good, though there could be more resources to help beginners. We actually have a subreddit wiki that anyone can contribute to, as long as you have 500+ subreddit karma and your account is 30+ days old. We also have a list of todo items for the wiki to help users find somewhere to start.

Another concern was that the stricter enforcement of the defaults rule may stop people from using existing color schemes or themes at all. This is not the case -- the intention of the rule is to remove posts which have little effort or just use premade configs, like many macOS and Windows lookalikes. It's about the spirit, not the letter of the rule.

With this in mind, we intend to go through with these rule changes. If you still have any concerns, please reply or send a modmail! We're most concerned with the quality of our community and welcome discussion.

Everyone, look here! Is this not amazing?!?

A comprehensive new design for Hyperland in Art_Nouveau, inspired by ancient mythology, science and art.

I don't know why diinki did not post on this sub themselves (or if they did, why does Reddit not show it to me). But this work certainly deserves broader reach.

Pretty simple, but I'm happy with how it turns out. Sorry if it's a bit awkward with a lot of pauses because I don't know what to show lol.

I'm particularly proud of the first part's media visualizer placement. It looks really cool as it's like masked on the text.

For the visualizer placement of the second monitor it's either oriented to top or to bottom of the horizontal beam(?), but I picked top oriented because Noctis' hairstrand is cutting off a bit of space if it's bottom oriented. I'm still unsure whether to remove or keep the now playing text though.

The terminal logo is my attempt at making the Kingsglaive icon somewhat recognizable.

Screenshot [OC] concord: Discord tui client, because Electron sucks

Post image
562 Upvotes

Discord's official client spins up a whole Chromium instance so my laptop fans always know when it's open.

Throw away heavy electron app. Concord is a full Discord client that runs in your riced terminal. No browser engine, no web view, no swarm of helper processes.

Features:

  • Messaging, attachments, mention autocomplete, search, reactions, etc.
  • Desktop notifications
  • Voice call supports
  • Inline images if terminal supports image protocol, video through mpv
  • Markdown with code syntax highlighting
  • Vim keybindings with customization
  • Theme customization

This is an unofficial client which can violate Discord's ToS but run it a long time without trouble.

My first rice. Wanted to make something themed around Disco Elysium. I created a color palette that reflects the game's whole aged oil painting look and i made everything around it.

Icons are Gruvbox Plus, fonts are Libre Baskerville for general UI and Fraunces for headers (i tried to get close to the game fonts), style/decoration is Klassy. I used AI to integrate my color palette in system, in my future rice's i will try to not use AI for it. In browser i use "Dark Reader" extension with sepia color.

OS: Fedora
DE: KDE Plasma
WM: KWin
Terminal: Konsole
Shell: zsh + Oh My Zsh + Powerlevel10k
Fonts: Libre Baskerville (UI), Fraunces (headers), MesloLGS NF (terminal)
Style/Decoration: Klassy
Icons: Gruvbox Plus
Colour scheme: custom my files

I've been using Linux for about a year now, but I've always kept Mint stock, for the first time I decided to give personality to my workspace.

In a simple and even trivial way, but finally now I feel it is 100% mine. The inspiration for the theme of XFCE was given to me by a post by a guy I can't find...

I'm still looking for an icon pack that has 100% to do with this rice, but I haven't found one that convinces me yet. if you have suggested pls tell me!
