Also has to be said that KDE on those slower-moving distros is actually buggier than on up-to-date distros. I have to use Kubuntu LTS at work and it has so many more glitches and crashes compared to openSUSE Tumbleweed and NixOS on my personal laptop.
Yeah, and you don’t have to know which fork to choose. Only the compatible fork will show up in the search.
(I was going to recommend that, but had something in the back of head, that you needed a manual step to enable the configuration. But I just saw that this is described in the Plasma 5 version, not the Plasma 6 fork, so I guess, it’s not necessary anymore…)
It is the first one, yes. Just the normal keyboard shortcut settings. And all the Krohnkite shortcuts are prefixed with “Krohnkite”, so you can find them easily.
I believe, that’s something which became impossible with Wayland?
But it wasn’t very good under X11 either. Even back then, it was much less clunky to use the various KWin scripts, which offer tiling. Well, and by now Plasma has built-in semi-automatic tiling, which those scripts basically just configure, so they do now feel quite smooth.
Should note that this is still a manual process. For auto-tiling, you want e.g. Krohnkite.
The one you linked is only for KDE Plasma 5. For Plasma 6, you would use this fork: https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite
I’d say we’re not there yet, but yeah, LLMs and image generators have accelerated it to the point, where I expect it to only take a few more years.
Gonna be interesting. There’s definitely going to be some enclaves, like invite-only places (in particular messengers), and potentially the fediverse won’t be worth targeting directly. But we do get lots of second-hand content here from places which are worth targeting, so yeah, will probably still notice the change here in one form or another.
I’m genuinely baffled how many oligarchs had contact with Epstein. I do believe their primary job qualification is a lack of morals, but there’s so many ways to be amoral, you don’t have to all be friends with the guy that offers pedophilia.
Yeah, I understand that it isn’t as bad, but it doesn’t explain why they didn’t go with something that’s entirely non-bad. We have the technology.
Yeah, one of the largest pieces of software humanity has created, next to Google Chrome and the Linux kernel, which are all around 30 million lines of code.
To give a frame of reference: With a team of 5 full-time devs at my dayjob, we can dish out a codebase of about 20 thousand lines over the course of two years.
A browser might be somewhat quicker to build, because the requirements are relatively clear at this point and you can start implementing many standards in parallel. But yeah, it’s still just an insane amount of code.
Well, the point is that GitHub is owned by Microsoft, so if they’re already developing an alternative to a Microsoft service, they would probably want to also use an alternative to a Microsoft service for their source code hosting.
We could start sending radio waves there and if something happens to be alive there, the response wouldn’t arrive until 300 years from now. 🫠
Was queuing at the checkout in the grocery store today and realized I wasn’t going to be done putting my foods onto the conveyor belt by the time the cashier would be done with the previous customer. Then a guy comes in to queue behind me and in the corner of my eye, I could tell that he only had three items or so. So, I turn to him and tell him that he can skip ahead of me.
At that point, I see that it’s a bouquet of flowers and a greeting card that he’s holding. He looked a bit embarassed, but then also somewhat touched, because he wasn’t sure, if I was being nice, because he’s carrying his emotions out in the open.
I wasn’t. 😅 I mainly just did not want to cause unnecessary delay. But was an unexpectedly wholesome encounter anyways.
I’m of the opinion that one should recommend distros that you’re familiar with, and ideally use yourself. Because they will have questions and particularly, if you actively use it yourself, you’ll also be able to test whether stuff normally works, which is broken on their machine.
I’ve heard the theory before that the collapse of cryptocurrencies was a larger factor, since you suddenly had lots of cheap GPUs on the market. If anything, I would guess that the pandemic slowed that down, because relatively many people got into gaming and we did have the chip shortage from factories being locked down…
Well, specifically because the conversions are so trivial, decimeters aren’t inherently more useful than specifying tens of centimeters. And with measurements of smaller lengths, you usually do need centimeter precision, so 57cm is simpler than 5.7dm or 5dm 7cm.
Well, and sometimes you also need millimeters, so 57.5cm is still conceptually simpler (57½cm) than 5.75dm.
All these combined mean that centimeters end up being used much more often. And then decimeters fell out of use even where it would still be a fitting unit (8dm instead of 80cm), because our brains work in patterns and will retain those patterns better that are used/trained more often.
I know conceptually what decimeters are, but if you tell me something is 8dm long, it does take a splitsecond for me to mentally convert that into 80cm, which is where all my brain’s patterns have been trained on. I have an intuition what “80cm” looks like in the real world, whereas I don’t for “8dm”, not without mentally converting it to cm.
In my experience, this happens in two ways. Yeah, sometimes a senior just overdoes it due to a lack of experience or shitty requirements or whatever.
But it also happens a lot that juniors just don’t understand why the layer makes sense to introduce. For example, juniors will readily intermix IO and logic, because they don’t yet understand that this makes code untestable and adds a load of additional complexity into already complex logic code. From that viewpoint, pulling all the IO code out will look like unnecessary complexity, when it’s not.
Well, advertising is more or less a zero-sum game. Showing more ads to someone does not mean they have more money to spare.
So, there’s only so many slices you can cut the advertising cake into. And this concept just feels like someone is spending far too much money for far too small of a slice, for them to be able to make that money back.
Well, and the nozzle company did go bankrupt as someone else commented, so I guess, that answers that question either way…

No manual entry for tainers
Yeah, similar to VR, they have their use, but compete with technology that pretty much everyone already has, so when push comes to shove, people will use what they have.
