What makes mosques feel so trippy?
4d 12h ago in nostupidquestions from lemmy.mlIsn't "otherworldly" specifically the vibe they are going for? They are basically trying to make this portal to this other, heavenly world I always thought.
Not really. Some mosques incorporate imagery inspired by Quranic verses describing landscapes or scenery from heaven, but Islamic heaven is just gardens, rivers of honey, milk and wine, grand white or gold buildings and castles. So a mosque which incorporates them would look more natural and less "intimidating", nothing like the one in the picture. A mosque which fits that description is the Umayyad mosque.
Mosques are decorated this way most of the time because they're "houses of God". So they nearly always incorporate Quranic verses and names of God in specific calligraphy styles of Arabic, use "preferred colors" of Islam: white, black, green, red, dark blue, dark brown, and look luxurious and abstract.

13d 6h ago in linuxmemes from lemmy.blahaj.zoneWDYM Libadwaita is not customizable? Libadwaita is the most customizable UI lib I would say. You literally can just change every part of any app through css and call it a day.
I haven't tried doing it in a while, but I remember it being very difficult to change themes beyond tint and colors, with lots of apps having custom colors not in the pallet used in the "gtk.css" file.
Gnome is great.
Most Linux users can't deal with every single project not prioritizing customization. Gnome having a unique workflow (which is a great one) is unbearable for some reason.
I am not gonna place the full blame on the Linux community though. Gnome started out way more customizable, so maybe that suddenly getting pulled from underneath Gnome users so inconsiderately gave it a bad reputation.
Then they went and did absurd things with libadwaita to not only stop supporting customization, but actively interfere with people's choices of customizing Gnome and libadwaita apps so apps ~"are viewed and used as intended by their developers, and people don't accidentally break apps and complain to the devs" (i.e. Bullshit).
Literally the only foundation that made Linux usable, stable, unified and customizable.
I really can't see how. It's popular and user friendly, but I can't seriously give it that much importance.
For me at least: It just serves to show that Linux UIs can be clean, consistent, and user friendly. Which might pull in funding from companies and governments looking for a good UI to mass deploy.
But if it didn't exist, Plasma would've eventually filled that vacuum.

Bruh, it's the Hanafi school. It's Halal if she's a Muslim, obviously.

1mon 6d ago in me_irl from lemmy.radio"Wallah" and "Wallahi" are the same word in Arabic. The latter spells out all the diacritics, but the last diacritic of the last word can be dropped in Arabic so people may drop the "Kasra" (E or Y sound).
When you want to exaggerate a word you usually put extra emphasis on the last diacritic or letter if it's a vowel, so you must sound it out.

a slightly rusty meme, but it's still funny
2mon 17d ago in memes@sopuli.xyz from lemmy.mlJust yesterday I had the "Memory shortage avoided" message after opening the gazillionth Firefox tab. The wording with the bomb icon is very funny. It really makes you imagine the kernel murdering the unsuspecting process in cold blood and then reporting to you what was done and what actions are expected of you calmly.
What would you change?

"Some people like snaps" would have been closer to the truth, but it would still be an exaggeration of their numbers.
