Expecting the runtime/browser to ship a native implementation of virtually everything you might want to do in a turing-complete language, is also really not sustainable, though.

Well, in hopes that you’re not just trolling, maybe you’ll believe a dictionary that “stable” is ambiguous in this context. Because this is one of the listed meanings:

(computing) Of software: established to be relatively free of bugs, as opposed to a beta version.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stable#Adjective

It also lists your meaning. I’m not saying that you’re wrong. I’m saying it’s ambiguous, i.e. there’s two meanings that could apply here.
Well, and personally, I do feel like more people will interpret “stable” to mean bug-free here, because Debian is a piece of software to them.

Yeah, but that’s exactly the meme that I’m talking about.

It’s always ambiguous what is meant by stability. And as soon as you complain about Debian actually breaking very easily, folks will readily tell you about the technicality that it just means it doesn’t change very often.

Having btrfs+snapper set up by default sounds good. I wish Debian-based distros in general would finally make a move there. It’s a bit of a meme that folks laud Debian for its stability, but you can easily break it with one wrong command.

And who knows, maybe TuxedoOS adopting it can serve as a proof of concept and get Debian itself to adopt btrfs sooner.

I also like how they claim it’s completely different to KRunner and then, save for OCR and whatever “circle to search” is, these are all features in KRunner.

Yeah, we’re also still on 24.04. And from what I’ve seen, 26.04 will ship with Plasma 6.6, not 6.7.

Maybe the kubuntu-backports repository can give it earlier than that, but yeah, I don’t even know yet, when we’ll upgrade to 26.04.
Good point, though, about the .01 release. Maybe I’ll start bothering IT when that’s out.

I would have a use for it at $DAYJOB, but unfortunately my work laptop is on an ancient version of Ubuntu, so gonna be a few more years before I can use it…

Gonna throw in EtherPad. It’s been like ten years, since I properly used it, but I believe, it’s relatively minimal, so pretty much just Markdown.

There’s also lots of publicly hosted instances you can use: https://scanner.etherpad.org/

(“Russian Facebook” is pretty accurate.)

Yeah, basically if you want to play Morrowind, at this point you want to do so by using OpenMW. You do need to own the original game, but OpenMW makes it much easier to run on modern operating systems and has lots of quality-of-life improvements, like higher resolution, higher viewing distance, as well as most loading times eliminated.

I find that setting the power profile to “Power-Saver” makes a huge difference.

KDE has support for that built-in, although I’m not sure, if distributions install the corresponding daemon on desktop systems: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon

You should be able to cycle through power profiles with Meta+B on KDE.
You can also see and change the profile via the systray icon for the battery, but on a desktop system, that presumably won’t be shown by default.

Otherwise, powerprofilesctl is also an option, as described in that link.

Hmm, seems to work like you want for me. Using Plasma 6.6 with the icons-only task manager…

Should perhaps add that you can generally run Linux distributions off of a USB stick for that first impression.

Just follow a tutorial for how to install Linux and when you see the actual installer on screen, you can just close the installer without installing and then click around in the UI.

It will be slow, because it’s running off that slow USB connection, but otherwise this is pretty much the operating system as it is when fully installed.

Not sure, I’ve heard of it before myself, but if this is the webpage, then some dev log was posted 18 days ago, so I imagine, there’s also still players. 🙃

Ah yeah, that’s tricky. I’m not actually deep into it myself. Maybe you can find a group to play with, like friends, colleagues etc.?

Wikipedia calls it a “spiritual successor” to Tremulous. 😅

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unvanquished_(video_game)

There’s quite a few old-school shooters that are open-source, for example:

• https://xonotic.org/ is a Quake-like arena shooter.

• https://unvanquished.net/ is an asymmetric arena shooter (humans vs. aliens) with RTS elements.

Alt+F3 can also work (possibly in addition to Alt+Space)…

Same. For whatever reason, I kind of hate all cursor themes. I disliked Breeze the least, then thought about how I’d want to change Breeze to improve it, realized that would look much worse, and since then I’ve been content with Breeze.

Had a refinement yesterday, where we decided that we should add all tickets of an epic individually into the milestone (except for two).
And for whatever reason, our project manager had decided to use the in-browser split view and was struggling against that, but also just was about to do it in some cumbersome way. I think, he wanted to manually compare the list of issues in the epic vs. the milestone.

Either way, I could tell that he’d need 10+ seconds to even get started. And telling him how to do it would probably take equally long. So, I just open each issue of the epic in a new tab and check on each tab that the issue is in the milestone or add it, then close the tab. And yep, I was long done when he was still trying to find the issue list for the milestone.

That was certainly one of those moments. 🫠

He isn’t entirely familiar with that issue tracking UI, so it’s fine, and of course, it is my job to be good with computers and all that, but still felt wild that he could’ve easily needed ten times as long to do the same thing.
