LIES PROGRAMMERS (who wrote the Gnome Clocks app) ALL BELIEVE PART 2: you can only ever possibly have a need to have one timer active at a time
EDIT: pretend I'm on one of the cool mastodon instances where I can apply formatting to all my text and I used it to cross out the statement above
LIES PROGRAMMERS (who wrote the Gnome Clocks app) ALL BELIEVE PART 2: it is extremely obvious that I would click a cross on the title bar to add a timer instead of close or maximize the window
the baffling location setting thing went away since I last opened this app, so that is progress at least

@aeva God, Gnome Clocks is so painful. I know Gnome as a whole has a reputation of "what if we brought bad phone UI to computer?" but Gnome Clocks is so out of the "Gnome UI Overton Window" that I'd imagine even the most staunch Gnomers would look at it with disappointment. Not even the worst Android clock apps are that bad.
I'm on KDE at home and their clock app is just... So good. It's no TimeR Machine but it allows multiple simultaneous timers, alarms, the whole shebang with nice clean UI.

@aeva oh yeah, it's cool how the timer quietly sneaks the "+" into the title bar only after you have your first one running.
"You don't need this option at this exact moment, so we'll hide it." Once you do finally need it, *your prior knowledge of this interface is working against you*. Finding the new button is like proofreading your own writing - your internal model dominates your ability to take in what's in front of you.

man, it rearranges the timers every time i start a new one. this is terrible

@lritter ok sorry for the delay, i forgot about your request, but i was reminded when tavy suggested kclock last night. I gave it a try tonight and it segfaults when I try to run it, so unfortunately this means I cannot at this time determine whether or not kclock is a worse program than gnome clocks. Under normal circumstances, one would probably consider immediately segfaulting to be a significantly negative quality for a program to have, but I think that could improve gnome clocks.

@lritter ok tavy told me how to fix it. kclock appears to be quite nice actually!

@lritter I am happy for you. almost as happy as I am to have a satisfactory clock app

@lritter but not as happy as i am that installing this did not pull in like 60% of the KDE dependencies and kill my audio

@storiespettinate @devol @_elena @informapirata @max @TeresaPotenza Mail mandata ancora prima del mio post iniziale. Ma io sono contraria al "o con me o contro di me". Non possiamo pretendere che la gente rinunci al traffico sicuro, per avere un forse. Perciò occorre dare un piano B, per rendere l'iniziativa più diffusa in varie fonti in quanto se i social decentralizzati decidono di chiuderti, lo fanno. E perdi tutto. Mentre qua, se anche perdi di là, hai la ruota di scorta.

@andre123 loro capitalizzano con la complicità dei social, non ci sarà scampo.

@ro è il loro momento, finché Bannon (l’eminenza grigia dietro le quinte), Trump ecc. restano a galla …. E finché non si riorganizza una alternativa credibile ….loro vincono purtroppo
