I continue to be dumbfounded by programmer articles (and project pages for that matter) that would benefit immensely from leading with screenshots and videos but instead bury or omit them, opting for "a thousand words" that fail to deliver.

You're writing about desktop environments. Show pics.

I don't think that the author could have conveyed the same thing with less text and more images and videos. I agree that many project pages (all those about an app with a GUI) could use a screenshot though.

Author here: maybe find another review from a site that is more interesting for you then? Not everything in the internet is for everyone, and this is also true for life.

This is my blog, those are my own rules, otherwise I would never get any blog post published.

Reader here: maybe listen to reader feedback? If your goal is to write into the ether to generate training data for LLMs, then by all means, continue! As a human, I'm trying to communicate ideas and thoughts to people. When people don't understand what I'm trying to transmit to them, I adjust my transmissions to better and more. effectively communicate with them.

		My goal is really... Nothing, I guess? I write things that I found interesting. If you look at the submission I wasn't even the person that did it, someone else found it and posted it here. My blog is not for other humans, it is mostly for me. Sometimes other humans find it interesting and that is fine, but they're almost never the target. If my objective was to have popular blog posts read by other humans, yes, I would definitely take the feedback by heart (even if the way OP worded is unnecessarily passive aggressive). But no, it is not, and this is why I said what I said (that not everything is for everyone).
