Please stop using UserBenchmark, they are dishonest to the point where they started throwing Intel CPU models scores out of whack negatively just to skew AMD results.

Why does Lemmy not prevent duplicate links, at least within a time window?

I avoid all of the modern gnome apps now as a result of this.

Even Windows allows the equivalent of server side decorations…

Everything in KDE is the bare minimum for core functionality. Anything less is not functional.

My problem with Gnome is the foundation itself.

They act like they know best, and rarely listen to user feedback.

They act like Apple, and that is very bad.

Not only that, but they also act like they are the default and only desktop on Linux, and rarely if ever cooperate with other desktop groups to make things work smoothly.

They are dragged kicking and screaming into following standards, and were the biggest source of NACKs (effectively a “veto”) on the Wayland protocol and a huge reason why Wayland still isn’t complete after over a decade of design.

The gnome desktop is pretty, but it is not functional. You can make it functional by installing gobs of extensions, but those extensions don’t follow a cohesive workflow concept, and often break with updates. It’s like trying to mod Skyrim or Minecraft.

To contrast that, KDE:

• Explicitly listens to its users and has scheduled times for specifically taking in user feedback (within the scope of broad goals)

• Actively works to be interoperable with other environments

• Follows standards and pushes them forward

• Has all the functionality out of the box, and can be made pretty with extensions/assets (the inverse of Gnome).

• Functionality mostly doesnt break on updates unless it’s major (like switching to Wayland as the primary development target).

Zero-party state let’s gooo

How’d they taste?

Oh yea definitely, I know this pain very well

File headers, magic bits, all sorts of stuff. Plus you can (and they do) try to load common file types, so if a PNG isn’t loading correctly, it fails the test.

“Oh sorry, looks like we couldn’t decrypt that traffic, those packets went to the burn pile”

“Hey there customer, if you want internet access on our network (the only one available in your area), you have to install our intermediary certificate on your machine!”

There absolutely is, it just takes effort. Many MMOs do this, and as a result almost all of them are playable on linux.

None. And F-Droid provides guarantees of trustworthiness that go above what getting it directly from the source can do.

Sure, but the CI/CD pipeline would take care of that for you for every single build. You build the pipeline once and then forget about it until Apple makes some breaking change. Meanwhile, you push the code to your repository one time and watch as the machine automatically builds all 50 installers for you in one go AND publishes them for you without having to lift a finger.
