Because they worry about any other weapon? Or the extremely rare case that someone actually has a highly dangerous fire arm? My point is that they can have much less drastic standard procedures (and equipment), because the standard scenario of operation is significantly less threatening.

There are special forces that get involved with the real shit. But the bar for real shit here is someone has any gun.

He probably wasn’t arrested. It sounds like the police handcuffed him while checking whether he was indeed alone and then asked about what he was doing at his computer. After he explained, they asked him to turn off the stream, at which point I would assume he was freed again.

I assume they went on to explain the situation and then questioned him. If there is no evidence of any crime, they will just take his personals so they can contact him on any development. He is the victim of a crime after all.

Isn’t it amazing how you can “SWAT” (from the looks of it that weren’t special forces btw.) someone by knocking on the door, instead of blasting through it and charging in, ready to shoot anything that moves?

That’s something you can do if you don’t have to be afraid of shotguns and full-auto rifles when going into random people’s houses.

We have not failed to prevent climate change. We have failed to prevent some climate change. How much more we get depends directly on what we do about it now. And now the best you can do is keeping that in mind when going to vote and spending money.

Yep, no one takes the most appreciated language under programmers seriously. The surveys are all constructed to make Rust look better.

tldr: Linux can have driver issues and programs or updates might not work as expected. So anything you can expect from any major OS.

(This is also used for Plasma’s performance profiles, not just GNOME’s)

Eh, in terms of UI and shortcuts, Plasma is very close. If you sit a Windows poweruser in front of Plasma, I’m quite confident they will feel right at home.

That’s actually how I got introduced to Linux. Then I discovered the Settings app. Fast forward: EndeavourOS btw.

There’s a solution for that tho: Tags. If you have sane (default) tags, you type ‘terminal’ and konsole pops up. And I feel like KDE mostly has that.

You should almost always use amd_pstate=guided/active on anything newer than Zen 2, although Arch Wiki says active is the default since kernel 6.5. Even if it doesn’t seem to fix the problem, it’s the preferred way to run those CPUs (if it works). guided + conservative scaling governor might help. Maybe it’s just a reporting bug tho, wouldn’t be a first for AMD.

I find it kinda sad that KDE is attempting to stop it’s series of K-puns. I suspect that some app names are/were intentionally bad. Like Kcalc instead of Kalculator? Kome on…

Sounds reasonable enough. I think in most of Europe that’s about when kids finish elementary school.

Bruh, you can’t just submit entirely new data structures as “fixes”, let alone past the merge window.

It should not be hard at all to grasp that.

Make a habit of reading takes (from reputable / serious sources) that you think you’ll disagree with.

Even if it doesn’t change your mind, you will understand other people’s POV. This is very important for understanding your own stance better and finding flaws and uncertainties in it.

It also tends to humanise “the other side” (whoever that is for you), which makes it easier to have a constructive argument rather than meaningless fights.

If you play DRMed AAA stuff, that’s still true unfornately (if you can’t do VM with PCIe passthrough).

Personally I just opt to not play these games. The market dicides in the end.

I probably should try NixOS, but I’m tempted by BlendOS

And besides that, it’s not like you COULDN’T write a fairly capable and cross-platform anti-cheat…

You can select GTK themes under:

System Settings > Colors & Themes > Application Style > Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style

For Flatpaks you need to run

pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Support is limited tho.

I have used Google, DDG, Bing and Ecosia (which is basically Bing) at this point and ingl, none of them really stands out for its results. If anything, I think DDG and Bing beat Google.

Google might be the first company to create a monopoly out money and apathy. The apathy of users who don’t care about their search engine enough to even change the default.
