Me using KDE Plasma because I prefer to work with my computer rather than work on my computer:

This is an odd card to play here because the protagonist only comes to value her appearance by seeing it through the lens of the male gaze. Ursula LeGuin or Becky Chambers would be far better places to look in that respect.

Lots of people love AI too, but that doesn’t make Midjourney an artist. Liking the taste of slop doesn’t make it not slop.

I’m sure it’ll have the “not like the other girls” protagonist who is smoking hot and doesn’t know it, but will it also retain the cringey dialogue and cliché teenage love triangle of the book? Those are the most important elements of that literary slopfest. It could truly become the next Marvel franchise.

It’s really a great distro, I’ve been using it fulltime on laptop and PC for over a year. Best one I’ve tried so far and for some reason it’s less buggy than EndeavourOS was for me. The only thing I don’t like about it is the name.

I’m surprised you didn’t hear about that, because it was a huge controversy. it was limited to a few countries though (or maybe only the UK?)

The equation they are thinking of, though, is “will the cost of those who actually quit using Windows outweigh the cost of building and maintaining this feature.” Funnily enough the inability to move the taskbar is what finally pushed me to Linux full-time, but the overwhelming majority will complain and stick to Windows.

I don’t understand how there could still be demand for this… Grays have been popular in aviculture for decades, so there’s no shortage of breeding stock available without needing to resort to taking animals from the wild. Hopefully these measures make a real difference.

Krohnkite? It unfortunately doesn’t have anywhere near the polish and ease of use as the PopOS implementation, for example its easy toggling between tiling and stacking. Nobody comes close to the way PopOS has done it.

Awesome, congrats to the team. I don’t use it anymore but I’ll always have a soft spot for PopOS as being the distro that finally made me a Linux fulltimer. I really wish KDE would implement their tiling system.

Default subs were already heavily astroturfed garbage. Smaller subs still generally fly under the radar, for now at least.

It’s worth it for the Elon burn alone.

I like that phrasing.

That’s true, but to reuse my comparison to Romans, we call Augustus “emperor” too despite the term “imperator” being co-opted from an earlier, different meaning. I can see both points of view here, I just don’t feel strongly enough to see it as a red flag. God knows there are lots of other, actual red flags.

I know, but convention is to use a person’s final and highest title. Nobody refers to Julius Caesar as “quaestor”.

I don’t think the Merkel comparison is accurate - no one called her Leader, we called her the Chancellor (Kanzler), because that’s the job title. “Chancellor” is a pretty specific word in English with a narrower meaning and clearer connotation than “leader”, which can be used in a huge variety of contexts. The problem is that English doesn’t have a 1:1 translation of Fuehrer as we do with Kanzler, and “leader” is too generic versus Chancellor, Prime Minister, President, etc. Maybe “Supreme Leader” would work, but I haven’t seen that used often enough for it to stick.

We also use “Dalai Lama”, for example. Changing it to “leader” would lose a lot in translation. There’s a very long list of more problematic things with Musk and this ego project than this particular wording choice.

Could be, but Rust has been around long enough that we’d see this already, no?
