    very unpopular opinion

    True! I think your opinion sucks lemming! 😎 /s

    But seriously, while I do think STEAM sounds a little dumb compared to STEM (and I’m young enough where I saw the name changing happening in real time and despite being at the age where it’s easy to impress on kids, I never really cared for the name), I absolutely agree with the idea that we need to teach STEM kids and professionals more about the non-tech side of hard sciences and subjects.

    SHTEAM sounds and looks stupid as shit, but we should absolutely take steps to properly educated up-and-coming STEM majors that they need to understand how their work and inventions affect humanity, along with actually having an appreciation for the work that they will do. Not teaching these things is how we create idiots that are proudly declaring “Mecha hitler” and “AI will kill us all, and that’s good!”

    People complain about electives and gen ed classes in college like, “why do I, a science major, have to take an ethics class?” and then go on to become Sam Altman. As a STEM major, I fucking hate those people. I understand you want to get your money’s worth in college, but having to learn history and take one ethics or culture class should always be mandatory. I have learned so much about people and become more knowledgeable about humans and empathy through arts and ethics classes, and have gained an appreciation for them. It also affects how you do tech in general too. So often do I hear about coders, security analysts, data scientists, etc who make music, art, literature etc, and feel like it affects and improves how they work.

    Tbh I think the only thing about Liquidass I hate is the transparency and lighting. If they wouldn’t make that shit see through reflective glass with white text on top, it would actually be kinda fire and pretty. But it’s a fucking eyestrain for non-visually impaired people, so I imagine it must be torture for the visually impared.

    But i like rounded corners, I like the smooth feel to it, and I do like (minimal) shininess. The clay look of the apps is pretty cute too. But I hate Apple anything so I’m here on GOS with the flat Material You design, which is a smidge cute and “arts-and-crafts” like, but could use more pop.

    For cybersec classwork purposes we use Kali in a VM (I use virtualbox specifically), and today my display driver broke for no fucking reason lol. I wanted to fix it in TTY, but my VM had like no storage space for updates or anything. So I tried to use gparted on my VM to give it more space and I just. Could not get the new space past the swap partition and deleted it, but it fucked everything up so I just made a fresh VM. 😅

    I daily drive Fedora though and it works like a dream 98% of the time. I had bluetooth hate me about a year or two ago because I didn’t do a power cycle after a kernel update (didn’t know that was a thing tbh), and I had WiFi crap put on me once only to mysteriously come back 2 reboots later.

    Edit: Love that someone just downvoted me without their explanation as to why. Getting mad that people might have an issue one or twice with Linux and then not saying shit to help them is literally why people feel put off from it. Genuinely amazing that some people think like this.
