What exactly do you think the business model of streamers are? We're not talking about Joe playing baldurs gate with his 15 subscribers. We're talking about Rihanna showing up 4 hours late, drunk as fuck.

As long as you remember that the cloud is just someone else's computer that they have admin rights on.

In contrast, banks all universally moved to single page apps lately, and every one of them sucks. Some suck more (we don't support you having more than one tab open while you are researching stocks) and some suck less (what is the back button for, anyway? Just ignore it). But they all suck.

And yes, users do care about using shitty stacks when they make shitty results.

Empty land does, in fact, vote...under the racist system that our founding slaveholders pushed for.

If your state isn't green, call your state representative (bonus: the one more likely to give a shit)

It's on his Wikipedia page, this isn't something you have to try hard to identify.

You posted a thing celebrating a sociopath for using Linux. I think you need meds.

Ghost might be better for you, as it's aimed to be a more complete distro with an installer and desktop environment.

I mean, you computer's wifi still won't work, but at least you'll have a nice UI to show you all the ways it does not work.

You are getting into UPenn if your daddy owns an emerald mine and has pseudoslaves to work in it.

And yes there are a lot a looooottttt of dumb people at google, amazon, Microsoft, and apple.

Because you support nazis?

I enjoy the argument because it's a taboo, so nobody has a good argument. Nobody thinks it's a real command. Nobody thinks for a moment Linus even wants that person dead. It's Just Not How We Do Things here in Polite Society. We say "fuck you, c-loving geriatric" but "I can't wait to see you in a grave, old man" is considered different even though the literal words are irrelevant. The speaker likely has no real interest in fucking the other coder, nor seeing them in a grave.

This amusingly puts it in precisely the same category as like, grandma being upset that their gkid won't wear a bra or shave their pits.

What, precisely, is the user-facing problem with this (the volume one)?

I'm not going to argue that tech companies change UIs and usually for the worse and usually dont fix them. I mean look how shit gnome is after it merged together the worst parts of windows 8 and windows 11. It's awful. Or chrome's insistent efforts to return chrome to chrome even though it's point was being a low chrome browser. Or Firefox deciding that small chrome was too complex to support and dropping that feature. Or every bank turning their website into the shittiest form of single page app. I agree -- all of these behaviors are not great. KDE gets and deserves credit for being the same clunker with tiny incremental improvements it's been for years. I saw in kde6 they rounded some buttons? Good for them!

Experienced having more than one way to change the volume? Or you've looked into the source of kde and confirmed there aren't old sliders sneaking around taking up 3 kB of space?
