Yea it definitely used to be. I remember having to turn bluetooth back on to use some headphones.

Wifi, bluetooth, and cell signal all use different antennae and serve very different purposes.

Why would a space exclusive for feminists ever not be a safe space for women?

and “AI” is NOT something that learns from its mistakes. ever.

This is from someone who could program together a radiologist “AI” within a week that could beat the average radiologist.

The problem is not the hit %. It’s the accountability chain and the economy.

Regulate “AI” properly, and have a healthy safety net that would leave a radiologist comfortable after a layoff, and we could start to talk.

Before then? Fuck you.

You need swap for hibernate.

I’ve tried many distros. Nothing you’ve said is unique to Mint.

Just don’t use Manjaro.

Doesn’t Alma still require you to register with RedHat? How the hell is that more left than many OS’s that don’t require a phone home?!

You started the uncivility first. Intereating how you cannot understand what you yourself say.

Just one little aoldier following orders. There are definitely not copious numbers of examples of that going poorly…

I’m not a headline Andy. They literally said, in the PR, that it was also to address these laws. It is not a slippery slope fallacy when they’re citing it as a reason. It’s part of the fucking motivation. It’s part of the reason it exists in the first place.

Just because you are too young/naive to understand how this kind of shit turns over in the real world, and/or too illiterate to read PR comments, doesn’t magically make all the people upset about it alarmists.

They literally said it’s to address the laws in the PR.

Never had a problem with XFCE, even doing some weird stuff with metrics in the task bar.

Though I do not tinker like I did when I was younger, nor do I know what Plasma has over XFCE that’s not cosmetic in nature.

Ironic given XFCE is supposed to be the light weight one and the steam deck is the portable device.

I like both of them, though. Plenty of customizations in both, not that I tinker around much any more.

Also clean the filter in the bottom. Do not forget proper maintenance or you’ll just be cursing him for not listening to advice he does give.

ELIZA effect in full swing… Humans really are gullible.

Not just with their web hosting. I’ve had so many updates break random crap it’s not even funny. Recently, a random update I did not approve suddenly had kwallet not working. A core piece of a DE they provide a bundled version for. I had to start kwalletd myself every time I wanted to use it.

It didn’t start that way on the fresh install. I didn’t do anything myself except reboot. Then suddenly my scripts that nab from the keystore are failing and asking me for passwords and what a mess.

That’s just a more recent example. I remember having quite a few random issues on update in the past, though the only other one I explicitly remember is the DE suddenly failing to start. Like, at all. Luckily I had a recent timeshift backup saved elsewhere, restored, and ignored the update notifications for a long while…

XFCE has always seemed to cover most any “normal” desktop experience I’ve ever needed, still even beating Windows hands down (as if that’s difficult, especially these days).

Granted, I don’t use KDE Connect or … what ever else KDE has over XFCE. The styling options are fun, but I’m too old to care about style these days.

I have NOT compared them to confirm any of the supposed lesser resource usage of XFCE, so if you’re going to roast me, tell me why (preferrably with direct data so we can all know).
