There are many reasons. My biggest problem with it is that it enables the productions of a incredible deluge of cheap shitty content (aka slop), sufficient to drown out a lot of more interesting decent work.
This is coumpunded by big tech having decided that slop is preferable to real content. This leads to the general feeling that I’m drowning in an ocean of shit, and thus I dislike AI.
this would have cost him vacation time
After all these years my poor European brain is still struggling to understand this.
while sick …
ill-advised
I see what you did there.
I guess it’s a weird thing to complain about, but I stopped using VLC because I couldn’t find a way to change the icon theme. The monochrome dark ones it uses by default make all buttons completely blank with catppuccin…
I can’t prevent you from doing that, but there’s a use that fosters interesting discussion, and one that just fosters insufferable arguments.
Actually Debian stable has KDE6, unlike Ubuntu LTS.
Well, yes, but a Linux spicy enough to keep you above the riff-raff for a few more years.
Would looking at wave propagation from object (i.e. a piece of gauze) all the way to far field diffraction do it for you?
That’s basically the case even countries likes the Netherlands, which have a population 50 times bigger than iceland.
How is no-one here saying QubesOS???
My approach is running it in a container (podman, but if you use docker it’s the same) and simply backing up the mounted folders.
Thus way I can just move everything elsewhere and just restart the container.
And that’s absolutely your privilege to do, since you use KDE. Which is the point.
Some things i like to do in “keyboard heavy” mode, and for other things I want to be a one handed mouser.
I use KDE. My configuration for the title bar includes a “keep on top” buttons (it’s one of my favourite little Linux things, along with middle click paste, which of course GNOME also wants to remove). On the left side near the application icon. CSDs, which I sometimes use (e.g. Firefox) never include this.
I also can’t just access the KWin menu by right clicking, as I would on a normal window, I have to right click the icon on the taskbar (I do use the windows grouping in the taskbar, and that means even more clicks) or I need to use Alt+F3. Which is not too hard, but it means needing two hands for something that should need one.
So there are applications that manage to make CSDs so useful that the drawbacks become acceptable, but it’s honestly not too often.
As far as I can tell, the paid one also loses then plenty of money (possibly more than the free one?)
I keep hitting my face on the fact that DKMS modules somehow don’t depend on the kernel headers and these have to be installed manually. This happened to me both in Arch and in Debian.
Why does everyone seem to think that this makes sense?
Why was the feature added if my browser is going to browse to the page anyway? […] it could be a privacy preserving feature.
It’s just supposed to save you time and effort.
If anyone has real concerns about having their IP leaked they should be using a VPN (I think Proton has a fairly generous free tier) or TOR. Relying on a link preview feature like that would be like wearing a condom against the rain. It will technically increase your protection, but you will still be really quite exposed.
Love that you ignore all of the people who are currently seeing the popups and not understanding why.
No, I just took his objection at face value.
They create an AI feature, they realise people don’t want it, and realise a minimal one they can turn on for everyone in a thin-end-of-the-wedge approach.
OR
They create a feature with AI, realise it’s controversial, so they figure out a minimal version, they split the parts with and without AI, and enable the non-controversial one by default.
The facts are the same, just a different narrative. Which is legitimate. Realizing that’s what it is is non optional.
Germans behave (in the overwhelming majority) way better than this. But their sense of humor is often… A little different.
“German humour is a serious thing, it is in no laughing matter”
And I have the suspicion you are an Italian living in Germany anyway.
Not by a long stretch. There is one single toolbox that I use which requires MATLAB to run. The toolbox itself is under GPL, and it’s fantastic work, but the authors don’t have the time and resources to port it to pythonz and it’s the only reason why I (begrudgingly) use MATLAB at all.
