Because they worry about any other weapon? Or the extremely rare case that someone actually has a highly dangerous fire arm? My point is that they can have much less drastic standard procedures (and equipment), because the standard scenario of operation is significantly less threatening.

There are special forces that get involved with the real shit. But the bar for real shit here is someone has any gun.

He probably wasn’t arrested. It sounds like the police handcuffed him while checking whether he was indeed alone and then asked about what he was doing at his computer. After he explained, they asked him to turn off the stream, at which point I would assume he was freed again.

I assume they went on to explain the situation and then questioned him. If there is no evidence of any crime, they will just take his personals so they can contact him on any development. He is the victim of a crime after all.

Isn’t it amazing how you can “SWAT” (from the looks of it that weren’t special forces btw.) someone by knocking on the door, instead of blasting through it and charging in, ready to shoot anything that moves?

That’s something you can do if you don’t have to be afraid of shotguns and full-auto rifles when going into random people’s houses.

We have not failed to prevent climate change. We have failed to prevent some climate change. How much more we get depends directly on what we do about it now. And now the best you can do is keeping that in mind when going to vote and spending money.

tldr: Linux can have driver issues and programs or updates might not work as expected. So anything you can expect from any major OS.

(This is also used for Plasma’s performance profiles, not just GNOME’s)

Eh, in terms of UI and shortcuts, Plasma is very close. If you sit a Windows poweruser in front of Plasma, I’m quite confident they will feel right at home.

That’s actually how I got introduced to Linux. Then I discovered the Settings app. Fast forward: EndeavourOS btw.

In the end, a Heinz a conquered GB. Eat that Brits!

There’s a solution for that tho: Tags. If you have sane (default) tags, you type ‘terminal’ and konsole pops up. And I feel like KDE mostly has that.

CC FU-GO-AWAY 1.0

You should almost always use amd_pstate=guided/active on anything newer than Zen 2, although Arch Wiki says active is the default since kernel 6.5. Even if it doesn’t seem to fix the problem, it’s the preferred way to run those CPUs (if it works). guided + conservative scaling governor might help. Maybe it’s just a reporting bug tho, wouldn’t be a first for AMD.

I find it kinda sad that KDE is attempting to stop it’s series of K-puns. I suspect that some app names are/were intentionally bad. Like Kcalc instead of Kalculator? Kome on…

Bruh, you can’t just submit entirely new data structures as “fixes”, let alone past the merge window.

It should not be hard at all to grasp that.

Make a habit of reading takes (from reputable / serious sources) that you think you’ll disagree with.

Even if it doesn’t change your mind, you will understand other people’s POV. This is very important for understanding your own stance better and finding flaws and uncertainties in it.

It also tends to humanise “the other side” (whoever that is for you), which makes it easier to have a constructive argument rather than meaningless fights.

I probably should try NixOS, but I’m tempted by BlendOS

You can select GTK themes under:

System Settings > Colors & Themes > Application Style > Configure GNOME/GTK Application Style

For Flatpaks you need to run

pacman -S xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde xdg-desktop-portal-gtk

Support is limited tho.

Tell me your favourite news outlet is less credible than you’d like without telling me.

Soulslike is when game hard, 3D, combat and boss fight focused, with dodge mechanics and real time combat. Or are you gonna tell me Super Meatboy is soulslike because it’s hard?

It’s mainly supposed to be simpler and by extension faster than btrfs (which is kinda proven by the fact that fewer devs made this thing work in less time when compared to btrfs). It happens to enable some extra features that way too.

However, while btrfs annecdotally had many issues, it’s used by big players like SUSE and even bigger ones like Facebook these days. bcachefs on the other hand is nowhere near as battle tested, so I’ll stay away from it for a little longer.

I mean, it is the market. The market collectively agreed that buying stuff and raising rent is better than building stuff and cutting margins in favor of volume. That and they made sure to buy as much land as possible, so no one else can either.
