I don’t really know how to install something like a beta version of KDE, especially without messing up things on my own computer.

None in particular. Just the totality of the changes. Many of them are small default changes or usability changes, but when taken together it sounds like a nice, somewhat overdue bundle.
Plasma 6 for sure. I'm a Gnome user waiting with bated breath to see if it actually delivers the goods.
Always hoping for Nvidia to stop being bullshit. Definitely not buying from them again.
Israel in its current form should be eliminated. It's an apartheid state. Until it changes by enfranchising the Palestinians that it has trapped in open air prisons (Gaza, West Bank) it has no right to carry on. I will never support an ethnostate that places the supremacy of one ethnicity over another. If we time traveled back would you say that apartheid South Africa deserved to continue as it was? Rhodesia?
It's funny that you are wasting time defending Israel with that kind of defense. "Hamas regularly admits" -- show me where? Here? Oops, that was just some of the many documented statements from Israeli officials declaring their genocidal intent. You know, the thing that is actually happening right now considering Israel has shut off food, water, electricity, and fuel into Gaza. When Netenyahu compares Palestinians to Amalek he is telling his hardcore right wing faction a very clear message. Maybe you didn't understand it? Or, a worse thought, maybe you understand it perfectly and pretend otherwise?
Some Wayland core folks don’t want applications to know if their window is visible or not because it’s mild information about a user’s attention that should be private.
I do like that. I have encountered a number of bullshit things like HR mindless training videos (ok, the fourth time I've seen this guy contemplate accepting a bribe... I get it. Don't accept bribes! Leave that shit to Clarence Thomas) or ad playbacks that refuse to proceed unless they are focused. It's annoying as hell. The problem you point out also sounds really annoying.
I wish there could be good, honest transparency on these figures. Figuring out which streaming service actually best funds musicians is almost like playing with a Ouija board.
I remember people giving Spotify shit for increasing their monthly price from 10 to 11. It was the first price hike in over a decade. That doesn’t seem devastating or bad or wrong.
Compare it to something like Disney plus and how drastically they increased the price since service introduction
I'm visiting my parents this winter so it will be a good chance for me to look into trying something like this.
I remember once a girl I was friends with lamenting that someone sent her two text messages when it could've been one, because each one counted against the free quota before you were charged per text.
I can see that since 7 October Israel shut off electricity and water to Gaza, bombed bakeries and hospitals, forced the northern half of Gaza to evacuate to the southern half while still accosting and shooting them. I know that when Israel released the names of the so-called victims from the day Hamas breached the Gazan perimeter that a huge number of them were IDF soldiers, not civilians. I know that over 10,000 Palestinian civilians are currently dead due to the indiscriminate bombing campaign that Israel has conducted with the approval of the USA. This is what's actually happening, not whatever imagined scenario you are conjuring.
As for Hamas, I know that its creation was partly due to support from Israel itself. I know that birthright tours are designed to conflate Judaism and Zionism and to encourage settlers to come steal ever more land from Palestinians. I know that Palestine is thoroughly occupied by Israel. The people of Gaza do not control their own border, or ports, or airspace, or anything else. Until Palestinians are uncaged and allowed some form of self-determination their efforts should be applauded as resistance against an apartheid state and the people who take up arms are freedom fighters.
This is precisely why any argument against gpl is laughable. Android is Linux. But a kernel without a userland is pointless. And that’s how Google operates: they use the kernel (which they want to replace) and then rewrite as much as they can with MIT licensed or proprietary code. The goal being to lock down the platforms in spite of the so-called “open source” software.
This comment is sent from my iPhone where the story is even sadder. Darwin does what Google wishes Linux could do, as far as licensing goes.
