• Recently I've been learning tricks trying to perfect the 'art' of maximising screen space/usage, seeing that many GUIs simply weren't designed to make good use of the limited space/pixels. Too much clutter and waste. This is where a DE like KDE comes very handy -- endless customisability.          ☞

• One thing I truly dislike in KDE (this has gone on for over a decade) is that many window decorations, including the official ones, don't include support for buttons/icons for some stuff like shade, on all desktops, menu, etc. This means that it's very hard to find what you want. Some styles and other things are incomplete. The developers include only what they themselves use/test with.          ☞

• On the Web, so-called 'traffic' (raw) is a poor measure of success and longterm prospects. You can get people to click by provoking them (or misleading them), it's not limited to trolling and clickbait, but then they will shun you and never come back. Better be modest, moderate, objective. This way you maintain trust and retain readers.          ☞
