m4,

I absolutely agree but because of selfish reasons - I'm so tired of smelling marijuana smoke on park walks. I'm so tired of smelling cigarrette in the streets. I'm so tired of drunk people being stupid and framing alcohol as something cool and the only way to socialize.

m4,

Because compiz. No, seriously.

I got to know Linux back in 2006 in a hackathon-type-of-thing at uni and they gave me a Ubuntu 5.10 CD and my jaw dropped with the cube animation thing.

Ended wiping my hard drive trying to install it, finally could install it, tried XFCE for a time, went back to GNOME, was tired of Ubuntu and tried Gentoo and somehow could install it, with the GNOME3 drama moved to KDE, considered FreeBSD for a moment just to realize pkg/pkgsrc is absolute shit compared to Portage.

Oh and it seems KDE went back with the cube for Plasma 6! Alas it's still masked in Gentoo and who knows when it would be ready, but it's a bit great I'm not the only one for that cube nostalgia.

m4,

Especially that Linus Torvalds guy.

Wait until you learn about the beloved OpenBSD leader Theo De Raadt.

Imagine being so hard no other but frigging Linus Tolvards says you're "difficult".

m4,

Gentoo comes with OpenRC as default so I roll with it. And it's simple and it works.

Plus the idea of having to randomly wait for some obscure stuff to block for a minute the boot/shutdown is not my thing.

m4,

No need for the atheist/anti-theist words to say that social media is cultivating indifference and hatred.

m4,

I wish actual teachers were that considerate. Thank you Calv.

Thirded one on the xperia line. Previous to this 1ii that it's being with me for 3 years and a half, I had a Z1 that lasted 7 years with me until fell off my hands and the screen cracked.

That being said, their software support is shit and I ended rooting them and using LineageOS (I even had a MIUI ROM with the Z1 at one point) so that's something you have to have in mind. LineageOS on the 1ii is good, better battery life than stock but I lost screen mirroring.

m4,

It felt like it had a bit of sensationalism, which alas is not uncommon in today's journalism, but can it be too much that a major newspaper like the NYT covering this story can bring indirect attention to the problem of hugely underpaid/no paid people working on (and mantaining) critical FOSS stuff?

m4,

KDE prioritizes features and customization over stability and out of the box experience.

I mean, the fact that the very new major release of KDE almost hadn't added new features and focused on a rather smooth upgrade kinda proves otherwise.

m4,

I got the 1ii. It's still rock solid (maybe the battery life is a bit hurt, but everything else is going flawless) but yes, the 2 year software support is simply ridiculous.

I ended installing LineageOS - can't say it's better to keep going with Android 11 or going custom ROM for every case, but I don't regret it.

That 'it's still rock solid' is the main reason my previous phone was a Sony (Z1) and decided to got another one from them - their hardware quality is just superb. Used my Z1 for seven years and it worked great all the time - until shit happened and fate decided I had to get another one.

m4,

Because propaganda is something else. We have a term for them, "morenazis" (something like brown-skin nazis").

One of the reasons I got so bored with Reddit is that in the largest sub of my country, r/Colombia, there's a clusterfuck of right-wing neckbeards obsessed with politics who truly believe the world and the country is as they learn from it from social media (not only from Twitter or Facebook, but even from Reddit and 4chan themselves) and live inside a bubble, most probably protected by mommy and daddy. I recall those morons making fun of people watching open air TV because they think everybody should be watching streaming services, in a country where about half of the people don't have access to the internet, another chunk don't even have a TV and there's people with no access to electricity at all. Hell, at this very moment there are kids dying from hunger. At the time I left they even created at least a couple more subs to openly ventilate their stupidity, r/ColombiaReddit and r/ChomposCol.

So, it's kind of privileged and near-sighted people with the IQ of a potato blaming less fortunate people for issues their class have caused in the first place.

m4,

Sadly it only works in english

m4,

I'm a bit curious about why you have been waiting for it "only" for half a decade, since that feature was gone since 5.0, more than a decade now.

All in all there have been no mention of it coming back whatsoever, and for what I understand they removed it because the code behind it was causing lots of trouble with Qt5 and was impossible to mantain. And they've stated they won't be reviving this feature.

m4,

Haven't used it but as a graphic designer I can't see myself using it. It seems it's great as a LaTeX alternative, but that's precisely the issue I have with it - it follows the same model as LaTeX where it offers some 'standard' document designs (which cover some popular but specific needs) and every little thing needed that differs from those needs a third party plugin. I'd wish it had followed the ConTeXt model in which everything is more centralized (and, imho, powerful) and the need for third party plugins is quite rare .
