Out of interest, why do you use thorn to represent “th”?

EDIT: Nm, read your profile; I did wonder if it was to fuck with AI. Fighting the good fight.

It’s nice that it is Webkit based but the interface isn’t great; for example a lot of wasted space at the top due to the very old fashioned menu bar. Hopefully it will come in to line with other KDE software like Dolphin and move to a hamburger style menu? But regardless it is generally a little clunky and old fashioned.

I think realistically, Konqueror is just too small a project to be able to compete with Firefox or Chromium. It’s great that it’s maintained, but a little worrying that the last release was in May when internet security risks move very fast. I’m not sure I could in all conscience recommend it but I’m happy to be corrected if these concerns are misplaced?

Depends on the Pi in terms of how much you can do, but yes.

I have a Pi 5, and I’m running Pi Hole, Nginx porxy manager, Jellyfin, Syncthing, Paperless NGX, and a full servarr stack (including Qbittorrent and a VPN). No issues; 4.6 gb out of 7.9gb ram in use, and no appreciable bottlenecks.

I would just caution that things like Jellyfin are a moveable feast - I am 1 user streaming content on my own to 1 device without issues at 4k. But more simultaneous users and if you start depending on transcoding your mileage may vary. So yes Jellyfin and other services will run fine, but any server can be put under pressure if it’s not adequate for the actual usage.

While I’m glad of the improvement, Steam is a business and this presumably reflects the reality of the games industry right now: indie games are cheaper and get better reviews than many AAA games. Steam wants to sell as many games as possible so it makes absolute sense to make games that people actually buy and like discoverable.

Because they’re deliberately keeping its contents vague from the press. It makes Trump look good to his MAGA base, and allows Denmark and Greenland to draw a line under this whole mess.

I suspect that will change once the scarcity and scalping issues fade back. This is also the kind of stuff that 3rd parties will be able to produce too. I wouldn’t buy accessories like that until you need them; it’s wasteful to spend money on something you may never need.

I haven’t needed to replace the foam on my Index and I’ve had it for years.

Holy fucking shit. What the actual fuck. This is crazy! What a disgrace! It’s horrific to think about the poor children, now adults, who went through that.

The EU commission says one thing while the reality of getting it past the vetoes of 27 member states is quite another. CETA is still only in provisional effect with 10 member states still to ratify.

And there remains a huge issue that dare not speak it’s name: Canada is a member of NAFTA 2.0 (I.e. USMC Agreement). For all Trumps nonsense, it is still technically in effect, and the fewer barriers between the EU and Canada, in effect the fewer barriers between the US (and Mexico) with Canada. That complicates any relationship and treaties with Canada.

At this stage, the “associate membership” is nothing more than a PR exercise, possibly intended to put pressure on Trump or possibly opportunistic to bring Canada into Europe’s sphere of influence, and potentially going to piss off European governments if poorly handled.

Yes because they have no choice: the technology has plateaued and is beyond the point of diminishing returns.

This isn’t about making things safe; it’s about getting “ahead” of the stories of them failing to meet the crazy expectations from the market bubble. They are managing expectations as the bubble is bursting and this is a stratagem to try and talk them out of this mess. But they can’t change reality by just saying stuff, as much as them seem to believe. Reality is catching up with them.

You need to suck it up; work and school choose their email providers. Use it purely for work - not your personal life and not for anything private. Use it in it’s own browser container or even it’s own browser if you want. Especially if your college doesn’t provide POP3 or IMAP access. It is worth contacting the college IT to see if that is something you can use though - it my be something they can enable even if it’s off currently or provide instructions for the correct server addresses. It’d be surprised if they didn’t have either but they may want it all locked down in gmails services. More fool them.

My work (like many) uses Office 365 including Outlook for mail. So I have the crappy MS Office apps on my phone. But it is used purely for work (and I mute all notifications).

I use Firefox and have google account for my android stuff, which is in a container. And I also use the linux version of Edge (which is a flatpak) for the rare time I want to look at my work email of office online on my PC.

No it’s simple and not confusing at all: The models are well beyond the point of diminishing returns for investment and the AI bosses know they cannot possibly meet the crazy expectations of the stock markets. So instead of them failing to deliver, they are using this excuse to seem like they’re choosing not to deliver for everyone’s good.

It won’t work - the bubble is going to burst regardless.

It drives me up the wall when news organisations talk about “winning” elections with 45% in proportional representation areas. 55% did not vote for AfD, and AfD won’t get a majority if that holds.

It is still terrible news, but the results are not the same as they would be in the UK say where 44% has given parties mega majorities and they can do anything they want. It should also be noted, that Saxony-Anhalt is in old East Germany, which is where it generally polls better.

But yes, the direction Germany seems to be taking generally is worrying.

Yeah, although the big benefit of a mouse is it’s super portable, and it needs one output to the screen and that’s it. I suppose the current limitation is that the screen needs USB-C output for power?

But it’s a great idea tbh! I’d prefer a linux device rather than android but other than that, great.

Yeah, it’s an official release from rasberry pi: Pi400, Pi500 and Pi500+ are all keyboards with pi inside as an all-in-one. Bit like an Amiga 500 or Amiga 1200. Comes with a nice manual too for to help people learn a little programming.

Hey, the official documentation is here: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/blob/develop/docs/topics/AutoType.adoc

Essentially, KeepassXC Autotype is fully supported on KDE Plasma 6, and all configuration is done within the app itself. The KDE settings you may be thinking of was in 5, but that is no longer the case when running on 6.0+.

It uses XDG Desktop Portals when run under Wayland; it should all be set up already if Auto-Type is working but essentially you need XDG Desktop Portal and the xdg-desktop-portal-kde package to allow it to integrate with the desktop.

The limitations on wayland are that it can’t match to a specific window title and can’t track when the keyboard focus changes between windows (due to how wayland works). The overview does note that certain other input methods can conflict with Auto-Type. But other than that it should be working fluidly without issue.

The only other consideration I can think of is are you running KeyPassXC natively or as a flatpak? Flatpak can sometimes be more locked down than needed for some apps. You could install Flatseal and ensure KeePassXC has the right permissions to access services outside of it’s sandbox.

So the global total GDP this year is estimated to be $100trillion. Anthropic expects it’s revenue to eventually be equivalent to 30% of global GDP? US GDP is expected to be $32trillion this year. Antrhopic expects it’s revenue to be eventually be equivalent to 94% of US GDP?

And we’re supposed to believe we’re not in a bubble?

I’d say the data is pretty meaningless - at least the stuff presented in the picture and article - as it doesn’t compare X11 and Wayland running the same desktop environment. It’s X11 Xfce or Wayland KDE or Wayland Gnome etc. So who is to say whether it’s actually X11 or Wayland contributing to the differences? Comparing Xfce - a low power desktop by design - with Gnome or KDE is not a fair comparison; Gnome and KDE have way more bells and whistles. It’s interesting that X11 xfce4 under stress uses more power than Wayland KDE under stress, but it may be meaningless.

I’d rather see the figures of X11 xfce4 and Wayland xfce4 but the Wayland version is experimental at present so unlikely to be fair. X11 KDE and Wayland KDE would be a better comparison, but even then it reflects how KDE has developed their Wayland version, not necessarily just how Wayland compares to X11.

In terms of power usage, if that’s the primary concern, then go for the lightest weight desktop and run the least amount of software possible (including services). Switching from X11 to Wayland is not about power consumption, and a 1 Watt difference on a desktop PC that could run anywhere from 100 to 700 Watts isn’t meaningful. Even on a 100W low powered device, I’d question how important a 1W difference is.

Yeah I’d take this poll with a big pinch of salt. The french electorate is very divided, split 1/3 each between Left, Right and Centre. No candidate is going to win the 1st round, and the 2nd round is quite different from the 1st.

In the 1st voters vote for who they want, but in the 2nd many voters are voting against the candidate the hate the most. If Le Pen comes first in the first round, it’s really all about who she’s facing. If it’s Melenchon then things will be unpredictable as it’ll come down to who the centrists vote for - and there are plenty on the right who would never vote for Melenchon. However if shes against a centrist, then she’s more likely to lose even if they’re deeply unpopular now, because they’re the easier “anyone but Le Pen”.

The outcome of the election is very unpredictable; no one is going to give any idea of what the outcome might be until closer to the election in April and even then it’ll probably be down to the wire.

Steam’s terms of service mean devs/publishers can’t promote a game as being free elsewhere. It’s likely directed at preventing redirecting people to Epic or a sale at another store, but also by effect includes games like this. Either they put it for free on Steam or they sell it on Steam and can’t mention free downloads from their website, and it’s up to users to “shop around”.

I get what you’re saying, but I think if spending $10 on a game is something that would give someone pause, then the onus really is on them to search around first to see what the best deal is? People act like steam is a monopoly, but there is a lot of choice out there.

Sounds like good news; more sponsorship for KDE and an LTS release which will benefit all users.
