Ever since KDE made their software more modular with Plasma 5 / Frameworks 5, a Plasma session can be cut down by a lot. Personally, I don’t think it matters much because as soon as you browse the web, the RAM demands of the web browser dwarf that of even a fully decked out desktop anyway, but the options are there – perhaps for certain use cases that don’t involve web browsing.

Wikipedia then. Lazy people asking stupid questions instead of googling on their own are even more annoying.

maybe they want to gauge different opinions and reasoning.

If those people cared to google first, they’d stumble onto existing answers to the same question. Such questions get asked over and over again. Those people would know that if they cared to google first.

if u dont want to answer, ignore the post.

Same applies to answers you don’t like: Ignore them, don’t whine how toxic people are.

technology and the opinions around it change, so some new discussions should be started regularly, if just to prevent information from stagnating.

Not that often, no. This is among the questions that get asked all the time. It amounts to spamming. We’re not talking here about a question that was last asked 10 years ago and is now massively out of date.

People make regularly updated lists of possible alternatives to various applications. Finding them is a matter of firing up the search engine of choice and just entering the search terms.

Also: That question literally gave no context at all. Something along the lines of “My circumstances are XY and Gimp is not suitable because of YZ” is missing completely. I got a proper answer by asking Microsoft Copilot “What are alternatives to GIMP? I’m looking for an option that I can use with Debian 12. An open source application is preferred but not mandatory.” and got a proper list of open source and web-based solutions that includes Krita, Photopea, Pixlr, and Pinta.

My mom is approaching 80 years old and can do better web searches than the person from the screenshot.

Let this be a lesson and next time just spend 5 to 10 minutes browsing alternativeto.net or Wikipedia’s list of image editors yourself.

Not so unlikely that it’ll be Mick Schumacher but Ocon’s grid drop isn’t for Canada specifically, it’s for the next race he’ll attend.

The tech whizz, sometimes called ‘God’s influencer,’ died of leukemia in 2006 at age 15.

So finding a cure for cancer is not one of his miracles.

That title is wild.

That’s why I editorialized in brackets. It’s just too intransparent what the video is about otherwise.

It’s a quote from a sensationalized original newspaper headline.
