Traditional worm-type malware doesn’t really exist on windows anymore either.

Two things can be true at the same time:

• GNOME devs can pour hundreds of hours of free labour specifically into accessibility
• GNOME accessibility still sucks

And GNOME is not alone with that problem, it’s prevalent in the large majority of apps and platforms, because accessibility is really hard especially if you don’t have a tester with the specifically accessibility need on staff.

OOP says they have a legally blind and a semi-blind person on staff, but that’s by far not the only accessibility issue. Accessibility is much more than just screen reader support.

A big one is learning difficulties, and for that, having an UI that can be used the way the user wants/expects/knows how to is very important. And here, the very concept of an opinionated DE contradicts accessibility.

Not surprised that OOP knows better what users need than the users. That’s pretty much the whole concept of “opinionated” GNOME.

GNOME isn’t even accessible to non-disabled users.

Is there any decent way to run Plasma Mobile in Termux by now?

Nope, win64 works as well

That’s why I chose a laptop without iGPU, because only one GPU means less hassle.

Guess what: the Nvidia drivers aren’t setup for laptop dGPUs without iGPU. It’s horrible, even worse than my last laptop with two GPUs.

And the battery life is ridiculous.

I got you beat with my HP Mini running a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 that I use to develop games for the open source physiotherapy gamification device I made for my kid when I’m on the train.

Don’t want to carry my full-size gaming laptop to work just to do some light lua coding.

And that’s 60W while charging. In idle with the screen off, low end laptops often consume as little as 2-3W. Which is not far off from a pi.

With me too, my employer has to start worrying once I put my current position into my linkedin profile.

I agree with your final take, but why would you want to take frontend tickets if you can also do backend work?

Zionism is the one thing where anti-semites and Jews (at least zionist Jews) agree.

Zionist Jews want it because it gives them their own country where they are not persecuted.

Anti-semites want it, because it means that the Jews are not in their country.

That’s why even the literal Nazis supported zionism. Every Jew in Israel was one less Jew in Germany.

You get the same thing still today with the most right-wing politicians supporting Zionism/Israel. On the one hand because it’s a way to keep Jews far away and on the other hand because it can be used as a “I’m supporting Israel, so surely I can’t be a Nazi. Anyway, let’s go shoot some Muslims.”-kind of excuse.

Judging by the fact that I have never heard of the game or the company before, I guess it’s tiny and obscure, meaning it would have either been completely ignored by hackers or some hacker would completely flatten it with hacks.

Probably nothing about that has hanged by open sourcing it.

Tbh, immigration isn’t the worst “solution”.

We do have an overpopulation problem. Well, an overconsumption times overpopulation problem, really.

We could fix that by either consuming less (which we apparently, as a species, really don’t want) or by having fewer people (which we apparently really want).

So, in the end, reducing population isn’t a real problem. Even if the population shrinks by 50% each generation (~25 years, for the sake of the argument), there will still be 250mio people left even after 5 generations. The trend should probably be reversed sometime then, but until then it’s really not an issue on the species survival aspect and it would actually be really good for the planet and our long-term survival.

But until then we have mainly one problem: our economic system is based on infinite growth, which can’t work. So again there are two main solutions: either we bring in people from other countries, who benefit from a higher standard of living here while supporting our economic system, or we get rid of the real parasites and freeloaders in our societies: the ultra rich. And again, for some reason we really don’t want to get rid of the rich.

When two men love each other very much, they host a freetube instance where they upload their videos.

Beware, what you are comparing vsync off with vrr.

You have four options when it comes to screen refreshes:

• Vsync off, VRR off: you get frames as fast as possible, no latency, but also tearing
• Vsync on: the frame rate gets synchronised with the screen refresh rate. That means, sometimes the game will wait for the screen, leading to a lower frame rate (limited to the refresh rate of the screen) and slight latency, but no tearing
• VRR: the game can lower (not raise) the refresh rate. Compared to Vsync maximum refresh rate it will lower power consumption and do nothing else
• Triple buffering. Needs to be implemented by the game, not by the OS. Provides maximum frame rate and no tearing with minimal latency.

This. My print properties change with ambient humidity, temperature, and with how long ago I last dried my filament.

As an asexual person, you get just as much sex as most developers get documentation.

Last week I spent a day trying to figure out why the thing in the damn documentation doesn’t work.

Turns out, for that project “latest” doesn’t point to their latest release, but to what they currently have on their dev branch. And apparently they changed the whole module around since the last release.

Unless you are actually using your PC. Setting up everything involves much more than just installing the OS. If I want to get all my apps working and my data transferred to where it needs to go, and all my peripherals and stuff running, it takes me a day or two.

That’s why I’m still stuck on a distro with more issues than things going for it.

That sounds more like a bug than just bad performance.
