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?

I don't know what randomly selected one-off failure you're referring to.

I'm referring to the daily experience of clunk from kde or the smooth glidey uselessness of gnome.

You seem very intent on convincing multiple people we are more inconvenienced than we feel.

I think you are missing the feeling of smug superiority that comes from defeating the feeble multi-million dollar attempts to punish us...with 5 mouse clicks. So on the surface level it might be an inconvenience, but you step into the actual activity and boom, we're telling these dumbasses to fuck off. And that's fun.

That speaks to the historical purpose of journalism in the United States more than malice. When journalism doesn't do that you get fox. Or the entire uk press.

Onedrive is easy to completely disable with group policy or registry tokens.

Yes if only we had any way to get this information. Sadly you and I are both completely ignorant.

Yep

It's like when YouTube finds a way to show you an ad, and then you go to ublock and update filters and boom fixed.

Oh no Italy is requiring something unenforceable, hopefully nobody from other countries ignores this and provides VPN access unhindered.

Yep, playing Katy Perry's Roar very loud, I just saw it in another article.

Linux has always worked ok. It's the desktop environments that are unpolished. And the driver model.

But did you read the exchange this conversation is about? It sounds like you're operating on month-old headlines.

Why? Are you concerned that the date/time widget author is going to kill themselves? Or do you just not like the concept and don't think people should talk about it? Something else?

One of those options is unlikely and the other is just a taboo.
