Goldilocks no?

The entire point is that I shouldn’t have to memorize what such a basic feature of the distro is called.

It probably is, yes. But somehow I feel like I run into all of those bugs :(.

This only works if your distro is set up in a way that allows it. SteamOS doesn’t seem to allow it for example, see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1744

Keyword “easily”. Having to figure out the scheme for those files and where to exactly put them is not user-friendly. And from searching online, there’s vague edgecases that cause it to not get recognized by the task bar properly.

But it is neat trick for those who tinker a bit more I suppose.

Not placing reasonable limits on hate speech is what ends free speech (and other freedoms in general). It should always be done carefully, but one only needs to open a history book to see why not limiting hate speech out of a dogmatic view that all speech is equal is a terrible idea.

I find it hard to believe “File Manager KDE” would be unsearchable for, given that it already returns results related to Dolphin. I just don’t believe this is difficult at all, sorry.

I shouldn’t have to figure out the file manager is called Dolphin, the name should be descriptive by itself. The fact that you have to rely on the keyword search to figure it out is imo just bad naming.

True, but this then applies to all apps. And for some bizarre reason if GenericName is not available the fallback is Comment, so tons of apps turn into a long string of text that gets cut off.

Like, look at this:

Top row is perfect, but then you get to Steam…

Honestly I dislike a lot of the KDE default app names. Default apps should have simple, descriptive names.

The fact that the file explorer is called “Dolphin” instead of just “File Explorer” or “Files” or something descriptive just makes KDE harder to use for no good reason.

I wish I could just easily reconfigure the name and icon of the default apps so it’s fixable at least.

The reason for that is that surgeons are rated based on their success percentages meaning they’ll recommend against risky surgeries.

The upside of this is that surgeons aren’t operating willy-nilly on people and will make a proper risk assessment. The downside is that overweight people have an inherently higher risk of complications from surgery, so some surgeons will pass.

It’s not because they think these people don’t need it, it’s because they think it’s too risky. They’re usually not wrong about that, you just need to find a surgeon willing to take the risk or, if possible, reduce the risk by losing weight.

I remember a project where someone booted Linux off of Google Drive. Cursed on many levels.

True, there were several programming mistakes that caused undefined behaviour. Most of these the compiler warns about though, so they could have easily been fixed.

The issues were “masked” so to speak by the debug build (even if not fully gone, the game could still crash). But decompiling the game let modders fix those issues fairly easily, after which it could be recompiled with the proper optimizations.

Yup, they shipped a debug build. Here’s a video that shows the build side-by-side with one that was compiled with compiler optimizations: https://youtu.be/9_gdOKSTaxM

It was quite laggy in certain areas, particularly the submarine sank the framerate quite considerably.

Meh, those are just the programmers that are remembered.

They did lots of dumb shit too. Mario 64 was a super-innovative game at the time with its free 3D platforming. There’s also tons of weird code in there, and the developers also fucked up by shipping a debug build of the game, costing a not insignificant amount of performance.

Not tennis balls, no. Quite frankly I can’t remember what it was. Just the colour stuck 😅

Whether a specific colour was green or yellow. We eventually looked up the RGB value to settle it, and as it turns out it is the exact shade that’s halfway to yellow and halfway to green.

We were both equally correct in the end.

It could, if it annoumced itself as such.

Instead it pretended to be a rape victim and offered “its own experience”.

Nuclear isn’t 100% up, France had significant issues due to the summer heat raising riverwater temps, forcing plants to shut down because they couldn’t cool effectively.

Renewables are too cheap to keep nuclear economically viable, even when including battery storage to keep supply up.

Nuclear is far too expensive for that.

I got a big banner page that asked me if I wanted to turn it on once I updated. Can’t miss that really.
