It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Be::Shell Installation

by *LaGaDesk, Jan 9, 2013, 2:19:25 AM
Journals / Personal

1. Be sure you have installed latest KDE of your distro
(state: 9th January 2013... >/= KDE SC 4.8.0 (older versions not tested by me))
Note: after installing a new main version of KDE you must recompile BE::Shell
you do all on your own risk!!!

2. Be sure you are willing to learn new things and read the wiki!

3. Install dependencies and what else we need (if not already done):

- git
- build-essential
- cmake

on Debian or Debian based distributions (Ubuntu, etc)

- libxcomposite-dev

(If you previously installed Bespin should already be present)

- libxrender-dev
- libxext-dev
- libqt4-dev
- libx11-dev
- kde-workspace-dev
- kdebase-workspace-dev
- kdelibs5-dev

4. Okay, now we do what the wiki taught us:

4.1 Load the source code opening a terminal and type: git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/be-shell/code be-shell
4.2 cd be-shell-code
4.3 ./configure
4.4 cd build
4.5 make
4.6 sudo make install

5. Run kcmshell4 kded in a terminal - that will bring up the kded manager.
Disable the "Status Notifier Manager" to get (legacy) systray icons from KDE applications.

6. Replace Plasma by copying be.shell.desktop and plasma-desktop.desktop (and optional krunner.desktop)
to ~/.kde/share/autostart/ (in some distros .kde4)
NOT to ~/.kde/autostart/ or ~/.config/autostart

Note: if you would now restart or relogin you would see... nothing (a blank screen)
It is very important to install a configuration and -recommendable- a matching theme first.

7. install a theme AND a config file:
you can use one from examples folder in be-shell-code
Note: you need a theme AND a configuration file (be.shell) -> "Copy the desired example MINUS THE SUFFIX to the local kde config dir, eg."
7.1 copy be.shell.win2000 to ~/.kde/share/config/ and delete the suffix (.win2000)
7.2 copy the matching theme (windows) from themes folder to ~/.kde/share/apps/be.shell/Themes
Note: in some distros the hidden folder .kde is .kde4

If you dislike win2000 look you can also download themes from our gallery...

Note: if you change a theme it is usually necessary to change the appropriate config file (be.shell)

8. logout and relogin or restart your system

9. for theming and configuring your BE::Shell read the wiki: [link]

+++ any improvements and feedback is very welcome +++
