scratched together a few thoughts about #cybernetics and the idea of being a #SolarPunk #cyborg https://pospi.spadgos.com/2025/11/24/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-solarpunk-cyborg/
(and some working #UserInterface code & configuration for #Ubuntu & #PopOS users)

@hexaheximal gotta hand it to you, it's been a long time since I wanted to try something enough to compile it myself.
FWIW the dependency hell on #Ubuntu / #PopOS 22.04 only went as deep as: #Niri -> libinput; the rest was up-to-date enough to come straight from Synaptic.

Probably because of this, I have a freaking frustrating issue on GNOME and GTK. My window buttons are on the right side again, and I can't seem to change that. For Electron apps and some others, they're on the left like they should be, but for Nautilus, GNOME Terminal, etc., they're on the right.
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout has no effect whatsoever, and neither do GNOME Tweaks or Refine. I've even tried editing the CSS directly at $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css since GNOME Terminal seems to obey it, but the buttons still won't change.
I've been bashing my head about this for a while. Any tips, my fellow Linux nerds?
Please note that I use Gnome (Pop Shell) with X11 again.
