That’s what’s great with projects like KDE. They’re run by programmers who can tell what this charlatan is pushing for is bullshit, not businessmen who would gobble all of those shiny empty promises up and drive their organization into the ground with it.

I mean AI data centers are a huge contributor to greenhouse gas emissions too

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

Oh look, Meta doing Meta things again. They should just jail Zuckerberg already. He clearly will never follow laws or even common decency.

The moment I realize a video is AI written (it’s pretty easy to tell once you notice the way they tend to go) I blacklist the channel.

hm, weird. It was in stock in my local store. The price is in CAD, which is about 260 USD. That explains it though.

Weird. I just checked memoryexpress where I bought mine a year ago and it still goes for the same price

My B580 works just fine for games. If anything, in Linux at least, it’s NVidia’s drivers that are absolute shit and problem-prone

In my area at least Intel’s B580 hasn’t risen a penny since its release. Why is no one talking about it?

I’d buy one of those and use it to commute and whenever I need to carry bulky things

Dead internet theory

Sudo dnf up

Downright quicker than opening a software center.

And it gives me the illusion of being some sort of super user

I do. But a proper one. All tiled. No glass that is a PITA to keep clean. No curtain that gets disgusting. Just step in, shower, step out.

But that stuff is out of reach to most people, including myself. And to be brutally honest, it is pure excess. But some people are still trying to imitate that with those crappy compact ones but it just ends up being stupid and worse than a normal shower.

People want doorless showers but most of them don’t have the space in their bathroom that would be required to build one that works properly.

Some of them can’t accept that fact and try to build one that relies entirely on the delusion that water respects boundaries.

I wasn’t talking about browser-based games. The middle click pasting makes the middle mouse button unusable in games at least in my distro (Fedora). Disabling it in the DE settings fixed that issue which was separate from the annoyance of accidentally pasting text while scrolling, which was also solved by disabling it in Firefox.

For me a quick web search turned up plenty of posts from people complaining about the desktop environment provided way of disabling it not working. Most of them had no replies. Others had tone-deaf replies suggesting to turn it off using the option they said wasn’t working. And finally a few suggested to run a variety of shady scripts that mess with the guts of the system with no way of undoing the if they break something.

And I’m so happy for you that it works for the games you play.

Edit:

Actual solution found:

After a much deeper search, I’ve found out that buried in there was the actual answer I was looking for: The Linux version of Firefox is independently applying a middle click paste on its own regardless of whether you’ve had it disabled in your desktop environment options or not. For those who are struggling with this: You can disable it in about:config by changing “middlemouse.paste” to false. If you’ve also disabled in your desktop environment settings, it should be gone for good.

One thing I wish Linux got its shit together for is the middle click paste selected function. I tried to like it, but if you work on editing a long text this shit is downright a liability. I was working on a 20 000 word essay and when I thought I was done and was about to submit it I realised that when I was scrolling through it to work on it the center click was accidentally clicked a few times and it pasted random bits of text throughout.

This also makes center click unusable in video games.

I want the ability to turn that shit off. Ctrl C and Ctrl V is plenty practical already. KDE has an option to disable it but it doesn’t actually work.

*Edit: solution in discussion below

We probably already have thousands of them out there but they never recieved the education they would have needed to unlock their potential and or are too busy surviving in abject poverty to contribute to the advancement of humanity.

Because shitheads like him hoard all the money and do everything they can so others around them are stuck in the poverty trap so they can use them as cheap, desperate and exploitable labor.

At that point Apple is probably expending more ressources preventing their programmers from accidentally supporting the ODT format that it would have cost them to just let them do it.

Oh Spy has known Scout’s mother for far longer than that
