Its been plasma since 2009, a year after KDE 4 came out and they rebranded a bunch of their projects. Whether 16 years amounts to "ages" ig is up to interpretation.

That is surprising. I didn't have much trouble getting LSP working either in og or neovim. My editor config is fairly barebones by preference, so its not like I spend a lot of time editing my configs either. I will say, Lua is a lot mo

On the other hand, the main reason why Y2K happened was because a lot of major orgs would rather emulate software from the 60s forever than rewrite it. I'm talking like ancient IBM mainframe stuff, running on potentially multiple layer

Wild pitch, but maybe we give everyone an education since we need educated people to have a functioning modern society?

NASA is a government agency, the US government made SpaceX happen by pushing polices to privatize various aspects of the space agency. I'm not denying the Musk is a good business guy, but his imaginings have nothing to do with the actu

distractions don't solve problems. "just do the projects" doesn't resolve the management issue anyway. the climate crisis is a result of our inability to coordinate mass actions on a planetary scale to avoid damaging our

Musk is a visionary in the sense that he bought an EV company and took government contracts to mass produce NASA engine designs and launch military and civilian coms networks. Nobody has deeper pockets than Uncle Sam.

Its not even about deserving it. How are going to maintain a terraforming project or build habitable orbital platforms if we can't manage keeping our natural habitat habitable?

It kinda sounds like you're upset that the consensus doesn't align with your preferences. (which is the vibe I tend to get from the anti-systemd crowd) Maybe a bunch of y'all should get together and make a linux distro that d

Modern life is really good at isolating people. I've faced plenty of struggles in my life and its always the hardest when I don't have a community to lean on. There's a lot to criticize about modern life, sure, but the worst

Yeah honestly. I've made peace with the past being past. Life isn't all sunshine and daisies obviously, but its also not an inevitable depression. Things changing is a part of life and every new stage has different experiences ava

My past led to me to my present circumstances . You must have a huge regret somewhere if your past hasn't built into a future and present that you're happy with and excited to continue building. I'm not saying there's no

If you don't want systemd, pick a distro that doesn't use systemd. You'll be a lot happier doing that than fighting a distro that has chosen to adopt a set of tools that you dislike.

I don't understand this at all. I love being an independent adult. I am certainly critical of how certain things are done where I live, but I really do not long for being a child. I had a good childhood, but I like being able to chart

I mean unless you're going to commit to maintaining xlibre or something, wayback seems like the future for x-based desktops. > [wayback] is intended to eventually replace the classic X.Org server, thus reducing maintenance burden of

I know people like to complain, but these comments are not really based in reality. systemd is really a suite of applications that work together to provide init, service management, network management, &c. there's no single giant p

Debian isn't source transparent in the same way tho. (I'm mostly nitpicking). That said, the contributions that Debian has made in terms of reproducible builds can't be understated. They built a wonderful foundation for the l

Markets are good at driving cost down via competition, but once you reach a monopoly steady state there's not much left to optimize. I think a search utility would work just fine. The main barrier to entry is the huge storage and proce

a lot of folks don't understand permaculture when they first dive into it and end up in a bad situation. cultivating a pleasing ecosystem is both complicated a lot of work to get right, but eventually it can mostly take care of itself.

It's not really reducing options. There's no evidence that LLM chat bots are capable of providing effective mental health services.

Totally agree, but I have learned that exciting isn't necessarily better. I just got busy enough that I had to accept the boring option to stay afloat. Which was a certain kind of excitement in itself.

I'm having a hard time understanding what you're getting at here. Homeless drug addicts are really easy to empathize with. You just need to take some time to talk and understand their situation. We don't live in a hospitable

Most of my daily agenda is also stored in my employer's Google Workspace. CalDAV is the common protocol for exchanging and storing events. Most of my task entries don't have a due date, I just sort them by priority. I understand

I spent several years trying to make a custom todo system and ended up back where I started using CalDAV and a basic todo app and calendar. Turns out I was always procrastinating because I didn't want to force myself to adapt to someth
