And Trump is a billionaire. I mean he is now what with all the cryptocurrency corruption.

I know there are still a ton of trump supporters here though. They keep quiet and use their mod points when they get them. And they will vote for Trump in 2028.

Consider me stigginit'd.

"The lowest common denominator exists, and they code." ... for Microsoft

That seems an extraordinarily high efficiency rate. I am very dubious.

It's an interesting scenario for GNSS receivers. Most are multi constellation these days. They will have one of three or four constellations giving them a very different time and location.

I'm sure the better ones test for this scenario, but even there the proof is the real world application.

Biden doubled down on some of the trump nonsense.

He certainly didn't undo nearly enough of it. I don't know what is wrong with the democrats.

All that battle tested C++ code, both from a security and a compatibility perspective, gets replaced by poorly tested Rust. Microsoft fired most of the testers. They will likely use automated AI conversion and running MS Office as the test suite.

There is a reason why some Windows code is decades old.

There is no clock so talking about Hz isn't helpful. It's reaction time to pixels changing that matters in games.

Not just jobs. Without cheap, clean electricity, the economy as a whole is going to suffer. Some of the damage will be offset by passing the costs on to you, especially the pollution, but it can only do so much.

I expect he will announce tariffs on China for "cheating" by building so much cheap energy soon.

You could stop actively supporting and voting for rapists that would help. Because Trump fucks kids after all and you love Trump.

You could also stop punching yourself in the nuts. That's going to be real hard to do because you've been doing it your whole life but if you try real hard and maybe take a classic Community College you can figure it out.

And remember if you see an llm remind at the Trump fucks kids!

The desktop background is the modern customized splash screen.

Window decorations and effects matter to me, for both functional and aesthetic reasons. To me, KDE is a sort of modernized cross between Windows 7 and NeXTStep in that department. And it gets right things that Windows has gotten worse about in 11, like being able to read the fucking clock. I seriously don't know who came up with that idea, but on the same display, I can read the taskbar clock on KDE without glasses and not on Windows unless I scale everything and throw away the benefit of the high-resolution display. And that's on the automatic display mode, but you actually also get settings.

I tried using Wayland with Devuan Excalibur (Debian Trixie) and my experience with it was not good. I had some games not work and a lot fewer windows could reopen where I left them. This is with AMD graphics. With Nvidia on Devuan Daedalus it really just doesn't work at all for me, and I'm not interested in figuring out why.

This is irritating, but hopefully X will last until my next PC or even my next GPU, which will probably be from AMD. The Nvidia Linux driver situation is unsatisfactory — they will not miss my money in any case, which no doubt helps explain the lack of attention. While their Linux drivers are typically current these days, and have approximately the same performance as the Windows drivers, they still just aren't very stable. Also, the installer sucks, where with AMD OSS drivers that's simply not a thing.

I ran every wm under the sun back in the 90s as well, designing whole desktop and widget themes around each one, and now I just use KDE. Does it do every single thing I used to do, no. Do I care, also no, because it's a great desktop. It does pretty much all the things I used to actually do with compiz. The thing I really want it to do (per-window scaling) I didn't have with compiz either. Yeah I know compiz still exists, but it's flakier than ever.

It's little better on PC. Or Raspberry Pi, which should be one of the very best supported platforms.

I don't think anyone involved here is on the side of capitalism. This is a billionaire money fight and billionaires have pretty much had it with capitalism and consumers. That's why they want control of the media. They want control of the information you consume.

A lot of people want a Windows alternative, especially with all the hardware that can't run 11 headed to landfill. It would be nice if there was a Free as in freedom option, but for most people there isn't.
