huh? What happened? Who’s shitting on ARM?

Translation: our legal team has to justify their employment, thus we’re threatening non-profit open source projects that can’t fight back and pose no harm whatsoever to the company’s financials, market position, customers, or any other stakeholder.

It’d be awesome if the maintainers could get a pro bono advice / representation here to make a proper response. They’re volunteering their free time improving an extensive list of crappy products of a brand and this is what they get back? Disgusting move from Haier.

man man

I find –help to be often useful, but man is hard to sell. As a tool to know more details of an option or to know everything that’s available, it’s great. As a first contact with the CLI tool or a quick lookup, man past the first paragraph is often a waste of time. For most lookups cheat.sh is much quicker.

Though I’ve recently been using clipea with GPT-4, and it’s by far the best experience. Fastest way to have straightforward one-liners that do pretty much what you asked for.

My personal experience could never agree with that. I could never use Wayland on KDE on either one of my laptops with Intel graphics due to numerous glitches and incompatibilities, so nvidia is not even the scapegoat I wish it was.

I’m looking forward to plasma 6 next month, but at least on KDE, Wayland has not really been usable so far.

Selecting the address with a single click does make sense for the reasons I listed in my first comment.

And it’s consistent across most applications that have an address bar nowadays.

It doesn’t need to be consistent with other kinds of text fields because that wouldn’t make sense.

The problem is you’re expecting consistency between elements that should not have consistent behavior for having completely different functions.

A line of text in a PDF, in a WYSIWYG editor, text in UI labels, and text in an address bar all have different roles and should be expected to behave differently, idk why you’re surprised for this “inconsistency”.

Well, if they did it as you want it, a bunch of other people would complain they’re inconsistent because they’re the only browser that does that (today).

And what’s “everything else on the desktop”? I’m struggling to find more examples other than browsers and file managers. And a few popular file managers don’t even have editable text path inputs enabled by default, so you can’t even say this is a “rule”.

I’d be more annoyed to have to click it 2 or 3 times in order to search for something.

@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

wtf is this nitpicking

Every browser I tried does that. They’d be inconsistent if adopting a different behavior.

Idk about others, but most times I click the address bar I want to either copy the address, change it entirely, or search for something. Selecting the entire text just makes sense, especially on mobile where selecting things sucks.

Same. I felt I couldn’t live without Nova, now I feel like I can’t live without KISS. I really like the “swipe and type” flow to open an app and touching an empty area to open the recent entries. All that depends on your settings ofc. It’s not the prettiest, but it’s by far the fastest launcher I’ve had.

what are you doing, step bro?

My thoughts exactly. I still remember when the reversed engineered codes for the classic GTAs were out (RE3), all GitHub forks were quickly taken down.

@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

it’s like when they compute losses for pirated content, just assuming every download would be equivalent to a Golden Edition Purchase at the highest price charged in their history, when in reality they’d be lucky to convert 1% of those downloads into sales.

Knowing or not how to make them, they’re still barely useful. They convey less information than a written report, and nobody goes back to a slide deck for reference if given a choice between that and a PDF. When printed as handouts, they’re a waste of paper. Their “need” basically comes down to graphic information, which could be in a boring report too.

eager_eagle,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

all that depends entirely how one is writing the report and might also apply to slides

eager_eagle,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

[no solution for you, just a comment] - making slide presentations is such a waste of time that I actually think this is a great use case for AI-driven automation.

I’m almost sure they’re procedurally generated for some time now

Looks nice. Is anyone able to tell if I’m going to screw up my KDE install if I try it out? I’ve never tried WM / compositors on KDE that weren’t targeting KDE before.
