The "free" part is clearly not working. Or rather it is working as is now intended: free labour for the private sector to exploit.

I remember seeing a thread about redis on r/linux where lots and lots of people were basically defending Amazon as if from an anarcho-capitalist position. This confused me as I always saw foss (and foss users) as leaning socialist and anti-corporate.

I spoke to someone about that and they linked me this article (and the article linked in the first sentence) which really opened my eyes.

The TL;Dr is basically:

FOSS is not socialist. The free software movement is right-libertarian / "anarcho"-capitalist, and the open source movement is neoliberal; neither of these is even particularly close to socialism.

I mean, I installed Kate just to do a comparison before posting, I can show you the screenshots if you want. Or just continue believing what you want.

But kde applications use even more space with the title bar, menu bar and tool bar. Even if you disable the toolbar and menu bar, there's much more padding in kde applications resulting in the content area being significantly smaller. I just compared Kate to gedit and the new gnome text editor and it's not even close. The gnome applications are much more compact.

I've been seeing people complain about header bars being "huge" for years, but every time I actually do a comparison, the header bar application turns out to be more compact than the alternative.

The only issue with gnome in that area is their antagonism towards themes, as themes can easily fix any size possibe problems, but the newest themes are quite reasonable. I used to have custom CSS to shrink the header bars, but it's no longer necessary.

That being said I recently switched to plasma as well, as gnome's forced Wayland transition resulted in way too many workflow issues and bugs. But I just configured plasma to work like gnome-shell and I'm continuing to use gnome applications.

Apparently recognizing and handling fascists.

Would you make the same joke about all germans

I'd say at least 80% of all jokes told about Germany and Germans in the last 70 years were in some way related to Nazis or Nazi stereotypes.

And if you only ever used it for describing weather, that would be an argument to make. But you use it everywhere, I mean just search for the term "cooking temperature" on Google images and you'll see a bunch of nonsense

But even using it just for weather, this is still not a good argument, as the perspective of hot and cold is very very subjective, and changes constantly. To me, an outside temperature if 10C feels freezing cold in September, but it's reasonably warm in January. Or an inside temperature of 24C will feel amazingly cold on a 42C July day, but super warm on a -10C December night.

They seem good on paper - every time I look for a phone on gsmarena's phone finder I get a few of their rog phones in the results. But then I look at the price tag and the gamer aesthetic, and I ignore them.

Well if they dislike taxes, they probably hate transaction fees even more.

If you have to say a certain phrase in order to get granted a right, then it's not a right, it's just a spell you have access to.

It was an embedded system. The user wouldn't be able to download and install stuff, they just turn the thing on.

As someone who likes to actually own and customise all my devices, devs like you are the bane of my existence. Read up on software licensing, and pay special attention to the history of its enforcement and what it enabled us. Then please reconsider your user hostile stance.

I tried the link preview feature as well, and to say the response to it is overblown is putting it mildly. I haven't looked at the source code, but based on how it appears to work I'm not sure it even qualifies as AI. It basically selects 2-3 sentences from the reading mode version of an article, but the selection is so bad it might as well be random. Not surprising as it's a tiny model that runs locally and is only given a second to make the selection.

I actually laughed when I saw it - this is what all the weeks of fuss were about?

I've played this game for over a month now, maybe two, and I haven't encountered a single instance of that happening. The next answer is always deducible by logic. I have gotten stuck plenty of times, and a few times I even thought the game was totally and definitely wrong, only for me to realise that I missed something.

If you continue playing, you should know that the games get harder as the week goes on. The weekend ones tend to sometimes take me 15-20 minutes to work out.
