Wait, wait, going via a wayland protocol means each piece of software requires you to opt into what it collects, on X11 they can just read everything all the time no matter what, spyware in X11 is trivially easy, it’s much harder when it goes via a wayland protocol.

Also, is what you’re describing on gnome or KDE? As I understand it, KDE separates those parts out, so one shouldn’t block the other.

So, it does work, just not the way you would prefer it to?

https://superuser.com/questions/1189467/how-to-copy-text-to-the-clipboard-when-using-wayland#1377550 In KDE, you can rebind the keybinds for anything, it’s under system settings in the keyboard section, I’m not really sure what you’re talking about. You can add custom ones to run any command, too, if the app doesn’t register a keybind, so you could, for example, send a dbus signal to the app. The way it’s done in wayland is different, but KDE supports all the stuff you mentioned in wayland from what I can tell.

Yeah, but LLMs still consistently don’t follow all rules they’re given, they randomly will not follow one or more with no indication they did so, so you can’t really fix these issues consistently, just most of the time.

Edit: to put this a little more clearly after a bit more thought: It’s not even necessarily a problem that it doesn’t always follow rules, it’s more so a problem that when it doesn’t follow the rules, there’s no indication it did so. If it had that, it would actually be fine!

Try the auto tab discard extension on Firefox. That’ll reduce firefox’s memory footprint.

Yeah, the axes on this are weird, why would the opposite of a systems language be a toy language? And why is Lua, a very popular and commonly used language in tons of stuff, a “toy”? And Lua is a nu Lang? It’s older than Java, maybe it just feels newer because each release isn’t necessarily backwards compatible?

I think you’re using this meme template backwards - the car should say most people and the text for the directions should be flipped. The car is supposed to be going somewhere it shouldn’t, not somewhere it should.

Honestly, I would have expected C++ to end with the SIGSEGV and nothing else, then for python to reply.

They probably are waiting for the open source driver to be rock-solid, and it’s getting there.

SteamOS will have the same issues, Nvidia doesn’t like to play nice on Linux.

Sure, but them stonewalling KDE for months with libadwaita theming preventing gnome apps from using the breeze theme properly on KDE is a bad decision - one that should never have happened. They eventually worked it out, but they shouldn’t have first told the KDE devs to essentially pound sand, especially given KDE goes out of their way to make their apps use gnome’s themes correctly no matter what, so your gnome system looks right when using KDE apps. The same courtesy should be expected from GNOME, at least to provide the scaffolding for that.

That is the kind of bad decisions I thought of when they brought it up. Or heck, why isn’t dash to dock built into gnome at this point? Like a quarter of the gnome users (and yes, they checked their telemetry and found this to be true) were using it - that’s obviously something that even if it goes against their design philosophy the DE should have built-in at this point. I think if you’re not in the GNOME weeds, you won’t see the kinds of boneheaded decisions they have made over the years.

All of those languages will convert numbers into booleans, 0 is false, all other numbers are true.

I understand what you mean here, but how can KDE realistically make commercial software vendors port their software to Linux? What group or groups could incentivize this, and how can it be done without creating significant user growth first? (it’s a chicken and egg problem, so you can’t wait until the users are there if they’re waiting on software to be available)

No, you’re not understanding what I’m getting at here. Linux is not windows. It cannot and should not aim to recreate it exactly, that’s a stupid idea from the get-go and will fail if attempted. Making every windows program work on Linux is also very difficult, but also, that’s the Wine team’s job, not KDE’s - KDE devs don’t have the expertise or knowledge to do that work. MacOS isn’t bad because it’s not identical to Windows, Linux should be judged similarly. It not being identical being seen as an issue is a mode of thinking that cannot lead to success. KDE has to be worth using because it’s good in its own right, not because it’s Windows without Microsoft.

To be fair, a lot of the things you listed are impossible for KDE to fix. You can’t make every single windows program work on Linux, you shouldn’t make KDE have exactly the same workflows as Windows, KDE isn’t gonna make it easier/better to install Linux on NTFS, and they have no control over tutorials that instruct people to update their software - How could any of these be used as a roadmap?

It has an integrated browser in Ultimate, not in Community.

If they’re on android, try revanced. It’s a patched YouTube apk, so the interface is the same (unless you change stuff, like, for example, disabling shorts - but by default, it’s the same).

It’s C, NaN is never equal to itself in floating point, that’s not just a JS thing.

Or a wireless winch, if I were to hazard a guess.

“Creates a whole game in assembly” is probably referring to roller coaster tycoon, which was written by a man. (lots of other games were written in asm, like many NES games, but I’d wager RCT was what they were alluding to)
