they deprecated KDE as of 7 to 8. Guess how I know? Corporate IT upgraded our development servers.

lol at the salty downvotes. it’s kind of true.

Even here the KDE communication is better on details. the gnome quote is less crisp on what it means by “active development” where as KDE precisely defines what will and will not be supported

That’s actually on point for a university student. Probably young. Doesn’t have experience running a business. I wouldn’t be surprised if they struggle to get this off the ground without making fierce critics out of hyprland users.

I guessed palantir the moment I read “Controversial US tech giant” related to spying

Here’s a couple of good starting points for the line:

if you have to sell your time/labour for money, you’re not rich.

if you can take a day off and not need to tell anyone about it and not lose money because of it, you’re rich.

not really. Nobody asked to be born.

the world wasn’t born with companies. Trying to argue their morals as the ultimate truth is toxic to our humanity.

if all a company cares about is shareholders, said company doesn’t deserve to exist.

you argument is trying justify the status quo and arguing for a system that is innately oppressive and cruel. “That’s how it is” We should make it not be like that just the same as we made it be.

Funny how the people desperate to make money above all else in this world project their insecurity on the rest of us and try to gaslight people into thinking that’s how everybody works.

Truth is money isn’t everything in life.

Ah ok you’re comment was descriptive… while mine was idealistic.

that is not true. Speed and turnaround NEVER wins over skill and quality. You need skill to produce stuff fast that is also of value.

I guess I realise now that the value of something is not what people believe it to be. It is the length of suffering and effort the creator went through.

The letter ~ (tilde) is relative to the current user. When you use sudo, you become root. So ~ points to /root. Whereas if you are not using sudo then ~ points to /home/yourname

I was waiting for the itch to get worse so i can scratch it off… but you have convinced me enough to give it a go. Here’s hoping i don’t create an abomination!

they don’t solve them. They make it harder for you to make mistakes. Doesn’t stop a capable developer from still introducing vulnerabilities.

that html page without js and just links is MORE secure than anything with JS.

No I am in the same camp. I hate complexity. There’s too many crumbs of utilities to reassemble into the entire loaf of functionality. Hence I haven’t tried installing arch in a long while (I use endeavorOS as my daily) and I haven’t tried running nix. The need has not arisen yet.

Includes Gnome

LOL, LMAO even.

(PS. since you said please. But I think it’s cool. (I guess? I am too much of a grandpa to care so: That’s lovely, my dear))

sadly, most likely yes.

Nah… assistants were able to do this before LLMs

Because that other stuff used to work before the company fired all of QA and local devs. Then the bugs after that were used to justify LLMs to replace the “shitty coders” that outsourcing to a sweatshop usually entails. At least with the sweatshops there was some argument to be made that the people working there either had no other choice, or a slim chance they actually cared about their output and made it so at least it would do the bare minimum.

Now that corporate wants to justify their hype and investment in AI to attract the moneyed entities, they will go to any lengths to show it actually works. Even if the Emperor has no clothes on!
