Oh, yeah, these discussions as well... Precisely. Good that some people are able to translate my thoughts into actual English... :D
> Reminds me of Facebook engagement bait If you say so. I don't know. I was never an active part of that big problem (so btw I also had nothing to "solve"). You were?
One unfortunate aspect of the entire problem: Go back, let's say 10, 15 or 20 years, when forces were a bit more balanced than today. When all these issues were already quite obvious, but probably somewhat easier to…
Either it was there since day 1, together with Facebook and some others, or your blacklist is a pointless show. What nobody started discussing so far: Every user actively pushed these shady sites. They are/were all…
You see here how smart they are. And here you definitely read from the smarter one, compared to some average John Doe. So, no, there is no chance. Whenever you think "this might now finally help to make enough people…
On the one hand, this really sounds frustrated, and I know why you are (bcs we both know that I'm right). But beyond that unhappy story, your comment actually made me smile. Linguistically, let's say. And there is no…

Just quickly, because I have to leave: I actually do somewhat like the paradigm, from a user perspective. If done well, why not, could be cool... If done very well, it could be very very cool... But please let's not…
Oooof... Okay, but quicker, bcs I need to leave at some point in time. I'll skip most of the parts where we are in a loop anyways. > Could that be because you haven't tried it and don't understand what you're talking…
> Why would you want to work with a spreadsheet in the terminal when there's a perfectly capable spreadsheet application right there? Well, if these quick previews are such a vital thing, it would be odd to just support…
Two times some guys at Mastodon tried to convince me to try Bluesky. I explicitly told them that I want something distributed and that's a high priority, not a nice-to-have. Yesss, there's definitely some very cheeky…
In terms of wall clock time, on my system, it costs nothing. I can start a "Hello World" application based on Qt or GTK, and the window is there while I'm still releasing the Enter key. Technically, sure, a lot of…
My simplified model always was: If you give it to Google (or MS, Amazon, Meta, ...) you basically already gave it to all these agencies. Was that ever wrong?
Oh, thanks for the hint! Last time this happened to me was with one of the Gnome or GTK guys. And it felt a little bit less bad, because I really hated their decisions. Here, I feel now a bit bad because my wording was…
At first, I don't expect anything from anybody; that's just way beyond my privileges, unfortunately... :D I can only comment things and add my 2 ct. All the terminal tech ecosystem is already somewhat beyond it's actual…
> It took almost an entire second. Or, another way you could say that would be "longer than it takes terminology to pop up a preview". Yes. But how often do I spontaneously need previews of something? And how often is…
Ohh, I've never seen that wallpaper before... Looks so year 2000-ish... :) And then you start some actual (non-E) applications... Which look completely different (i.e. not like something that MS Frontpage has…
No no, it always tried to do something, with a lot of self-confidence, but then constantly failed. I can spontaneously remember k3b (CD burning tool) constantly failing because the CLI tools behind it (cdrecord,…
> Then it's not "exactly like" what I would do at all - you'd take your hand off your keyboard and switch to your mouse to use a graphical file manager tool. Definitely yes. That's what I'd definitely do. But there is…
> You're missing the point, which is that the EFL library just has media playback built into it - for a lot of different formats. As far as I understand, you're missing the point. Every format that someone now wants to…
KDE 4 was indeed a huge mess... All 4.x version. Even if every changelog had the sound of "Now the glitches are fixed; you can now start using it". It never was...
> KDE 1? Yeah, compared to Win 95 at least, it looked interesting in a positive way... Problem was: Whenever you clicked on something, some message box appeared, with some one-line error message that contained the word…
I know that people never want to hear such remarks... At least I never want... But I risk being the idiot anyways: KDE/Plasma doesn't crash here so often. I've seen it actually happening in the last years.…
This is maybe because it's quite hard to find some?! ^^
Well, I explicitly said that I dislike Gnome for that. Sure, there are switches that are fine for actual customization, in order to actually adapt to personal preferences instead of work around technical weaknesses. I…
