Isn't the same as when RT was not allowed to broadcast in Europe after the war? I wonder why the news about Al Jazeera and Israel makes more splash than the RT and Russia news

It's a new one? I guess you are not the target audience of this Windows manager if you are not willing to give it a try and explore the features and the experience before rationalizing it's usefulness

To add some perspective, I am the target audience for a new Window Manager, but I'm still gonna need a goal or mission statement before I try it out.
No need to be fancy, just use one of the following stock phrases:
For people who like eye candy...
A clutter-free, spartan environment
Smart(er) tiling/stacking/workspace management
Lean and fast
Big with tons of value-added features
Highly customisable
"It Just Works(tm)"
A (simpler|more complex) alternative to (Gnome|Plasma|Windowmaker|Xfce)[1]
A (new|old|ancient) way to manage workflows
Designed for (programmer|designer|gamer|salesman) productivity
After all, creating a minimal Window Manager is about 2kLoC (in C). Someone who went to the effort to write maybe 20kLoC
a) Ain't stupid or incompetent in the least
and
b) Must have had a good reason for doing so!
Telling the world that reason can only help - the majority of us support new projects, we don't diss them for no reason (for that, we go to reddit :-))
[1] Yes, I know that some of those are desktop environments and some are window managers. No, I don't want to argue about the difference.
Xmonad stayed under a thousand LoC for it's first few releases.
As for this DE, it's main feature seems to be having a topbar that expands itself on hover. But to me that seems like it's biggest issue.
The animation will always seem choppy. And you cannot click anything on the bar directly because everything moves around. And you will inevitably accidentally expand it. It's just bad UI...

So?
I mean, I agree it's bad UI, but some people will absolutely love it. I mean if it was so universally regarded as a bad UI we wouldn't be seeing the same pattern on every third website, would we?
It's all different strokes for different folks. Doesn't appeal to me (or to you), but I think there's enough people who prefer prettiness over ease-of-use; after all, look how many people still love their Macbooks, even though it's still got pretty a poor UI.
While I'm sure -I'm- not the target market for a new Windows manager, it really is helpful to understand up front why a project exists.
Sometimes it's a different feature set. Sometimes it's the same (or reduced) feature set or an emphasis on performance. Sometimes it's the side effect of using a new language. Sometimes it's just an exercise in learning.
While these things are all completely valid (and more besides) the underlying reason is usually helpful when deciding if I am "willing to give it a try". Context matters, and it's helpful to understand if the developer's context is compatible with my context.
Well, I'd kinda like to have some idea of what I'm getting before I download it. Otherwise, why even bother?
You are asking users to commit a certain amount of time, effort and resources to testing out your software. The least you could do is set some expectation other than "LOL, n00 S0ftW4rez, yo. CZekkit, b1tches!".
I am pretty much os agnostics, i sure do enjoy linux because of being so customizable and i am quite good at it but i don't mind using OSX or others if there was..
but when it come to windows, i can't for my life of it using it.. it's very slugggish for me (compared to the arch distro i have on that same laptop) and it's unbearably intrusive (so many shortcuts are owned by the OS that i can't disable)
I think matt has lost any credibility he had i have been following since openstack and the beginning of containers days and it has all been downhill from there...
i like yadm because it has simply no dependencies and can be installed literally anywhere on any archs (which is important to me)....
the yadm/awk templating system is good enough for me, it let you do some if host then output this or output that kind of things..... i never had a need for more.
It is not clear at this point whether or not the current military activity will be followed with settlements. There are certainly calls for that among some Israelis, even among high ranking members of the Israeli government. We should take those seriously.
Only weeks following oct 7. Netanyahu announced new settlements in the Gaza envelope, meaning the part of Israel within rocket range from Gaza. There have been documented cases of Israel expending the buffer zone on the Palestinian side of the boarder wall. I would certainly call that expansion, even though the settlements them selves are within Israel’s territory, their security infrastructure results in land being taken away from Palestine.
is glasskube a reboot of jenkins-x ?
