The good thing about Dolphin is you can have the real tree following your navigation. Want to go up a few levels, just click once, directly where you want to go next. None of this up, up, up nonsense. Great for snooping in many different folders in quick succession.

As more people commute, simple commuter bikes will dominate. It might be boring, but for many, cycling is for getting from a to b. Not some exciting novelty, but an everyday tool. For me, a basket on the back is the best thing ever. Never wear a backpack and get a sweaty back. And somewhere to chuck the lock, or extra layer or gloves. Brilliant.

The users on Windows range from casual not techies to full on nerds. In between there are people with different interests and different tech experience. The next likely new Linux users will be at the techy end of that range. Bunching them together is really poor usability analysis. Talking about average users is also nonsense. Out of 100 users, there might be only one average user.

I've been using Linux full-time at home for 14 years+ without needing to use the command line. Linux is far from perfect, but misinformation should be avoided.

At work I need Eindows for our CAD application. FOSS CAD is OK for some use cases. But falls far short for my car design use cases.

Set a large pencil brush size and click a large black dot. Then make the brush smaller and white, then click once in the middle.

I'm not saying its the aliens, but I have heard they've been buying stuff, including LoRa gear, off AlienExpress

Lease out the prisoners for manual labour. Include shackles in the leasing price. This would save prison costs, make money, and we can all say Trump brought back slavery.

They should get out more.

You could be surrounded by cool people all chatting away. You'll never know, unless you buy a device. I have absolutely no need for one. But I've ordered one out of curiosity. I'm actually quite excited about getting it. Later, I might get bored and disconnect.

I knew they should have built a real smoke and engine noise generator into the cyber truck. So that all those who insist on polluting, don't have to be left out.

Oh great! The planet has already got a carbon dioxide atmosphere. So we can't go there and burn stuff to mess it up like web did to the last one.

Yes. I use that option. But as I rarely see the desktop, hiding any files or folders makes little difference to using Plasma.

My desktop is hidden by all the open apps all the time. Sure you can get there via the file manager, but it's just another folder. And sure you can deliberately minimise all the apps. But the content is, by default hidden, and not in your face, to be stumbled upon like an inbox. Desktops can only contain closed files, and are a flaw in the UX logic.
