One unfortunate aspect of the entire problem: Go back, let's say 10, 15 or 20 years, when forces were a bit more balanced than today. When all these issues were already quite obvious, but probably somewhat easier to solve. The same peo

Either it was there since day 1, together with Facebook and some others, or your blacklist is a pointless show. What nobody started discussing so far: Every user actively pushed these shady sites. They are/were all active parts of the

You see here how smart they are. And here you definitely read from the smarter one, compared to some average John Doe. So, no, there is no chance. Whenever you think "this might now finally help to make enough people understand",

On the one hand, this really sounds frustrated, and I know why you are (bcs we both know that I'm right). But beyond that unhappy story, your comment actually made me smile. Linguistically, let's say. And there is no sarcasm at al

Just quickly, because I have to leave: I actually do somewhat like the paradigm, from a user perspective. If done well, why not, could be cool... If done very well, it could be very very cool... But please let's not invent these new ki

Oooof... Okay, but quicker, bcs I need to leave at some point in time. I'll skip most of the parts where we are in a loop anyways. > Could that be because you haven't tried it and don't understand what you're talking

Two times some guys at Mastodon tried to convince me to try Bluesky. I explicitly told them that I want something distributed and that's a high priority, not a nice-to-have. Yesss, there's definitely some very cheeky marketing goi

In terms of wall clock time, on my system, it costs nothing. I can start a "Hello World" application based on Qt or GTK, and the window is there while I'm still releasing the Enter key. Technically, sure, a lot of things happ

My simplified model always was: If you give it to Google (or MS, Amazon, Meta, ...) you basically already gave it to all these agencies. Was that ever wrong?

Oh, thanks for the hint! Last time this happened to me was with one of the Gnome or GTK guys. And it felt a little bit less bad, because I really hated their decisions. Here, I feel now a bit bad because my wording was very direct. Let&#x27

At first, I don't expect anything from anybody; that's just way beyond my privileges, unfortunately... :D I can only comment things and add my 2 ct. All the terminal tech ecosystem is already somewhat beyond it's actual capab

Ohh, I've never seen that wallpaper before... Looks so year 2000-ish... :) And then you start some actual (non-E) applications... Which look completely different (i.e. not like something that MS Frontpage has desperately assembled out

No no, it always tried to do something, with a lot of self-confidence, but then constantly failed. I can spontaneously remember k3b (CD burning tool) constantly failing because the CLI tools behind it (cdrecord, mkisofs, ...) replied in som

KDE 4 was indeed a huge mess... All 4.x version. Even if every changelog had the sound of "Now the glitches are fixed; you can now start using it". It never was...

I know that people never want to hear such remarks... At least I never want... But I risk being the idiot anyways: KDE/Plasma doesn't crash here so often. I've seen it actually happening in the last years. Unfortunately!!!! M

This is maybe because it's quite hard to find some?! ^^

Well, I explicitly said that I dislike Gnome for that. Sure, there are switches that are fine for actual customization, in order to actually adapt to personal preferences instead of work around technical weaknesses. I love how configurable

I have absolutely no doubt that this is possible to do, particularly if you assume that you already have all kinds of libraries available, and if you don't care at all about the terminal ecosystem in general. And then you only need acc

PS: When can terminal apps get mouse coordinates in pixel granularity? Then Qt and GTK can have backends for terminal( emulator)s and I can finally run a graphical terminal emulator inside a terminal emulator? tmux and screen will be dead!!

by pino83 6mo ago
In a lot of cases, configurability is just a workaround for the issue that devs were unable to implement sth that just works 'fine'. So you could turn it on and live with its defects, or you turned it off and live without the feat

Well, what's the sarcasm? If someone already has MS Teams installed, and their Authenticator App, there is no compelling reason to not install Copilot. Unless the system permissions they ask differ substantially, let's say. Either

Yes, maybe. Although they explicitly promised the opposite some days ago, no? And there was also that article some days ago that told the story about all the management stupidities at MS from the last years/decades. It was very interes

Owwwwww...... :D I've no idea whether MS either has a veeeeery clever plan about what they are doing, and I just don't get it, or whether that's just completely stupid in the current times when Windows' fanbase is somewh
