Probably because people are being forced out of their Windows 10 systems, and onto an unwanted Windows 11. Also, you seem to skip other notable changes like enforced spam and enforced Copilot and enforced online registration.

Sorry for the small digression. It's on topic. Just a few minutes ago, while copying 63 GB worth of pics and videos from my phone to my laptop, KDE forwarded me the error "File <hard to retain name.jpg> could not be opened.

I understand the figured sense that you describe. It reverses the logical suite of cause and effect. Instead of describing the true cause (Apple chooses to drop the jack) and the consequence (customers "don't care", which I b

Using kde on Wayland for a while now, on a Nvidia card (debian trixie, just upgraded to forky a week ago), and i can't relate to any of those issues. My only complaint is a silly kernel module warning that pollutes my syslog.

What an LLM does is not an algorithm. It's called a heuristic. To have an algorithm, you need to have a concrete way to show than an output is the correct or optimal one. An LLM is satisfied by providing any random output that passes s
