I don't see any evidence of a flame war in this discussion, in fact there is an overwhelming consensus in the comments on the side of the author.

This is where I first saw it too, but 10 minutes later it was no longer there.

This is no longer on the front page of HN despite 200+ points and having been posted 1 hour ago.

I remember trying to cancel NYT subscription a few years back and it was almost impossible. I didn't expect it from such a reputable establishment.

My rule is that if you want to settle in the country, you ought to learn the local language and it doesn't really matter how much money you make in my opinion. I got to B2 and passed the test, but ultimately left Germany years ago. I don't intend to go back but I also don't regret learning the language.

As another commenter said that he acquired both with the money made on Facebook, they didn't originate within the company.

None. And I have a PC, a personal laptop, a work laptop, my current and my previous Android phone.

Yes, native UI toolkits are not perfect, even though I consider Qt very close to one (I'm sure naysayers will find nitpicks). In the end, the choice is between the apps that eat 1GB of your RAM and learning to deal with some idiosyncrasies of native toolkits.

Not until it's rolled out by our IT team. It's a managed installation.

It's a bit sad, but do most even care about elegant and efficient code these days in the age of coding agents?

I'd kill for KDE 6.4 crying in my work laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 with Plasma 5.27 :)

Soviet imagery has also been widely used by Russian propaganda in its current war against Ukraine

That alone makes it very bad taste to use any of the Soviet imagery. I'm not sure why it's even a debatable topic at this point.

Given the existence of both groups

This is a false equivalence between those who suffered from USSR and those who are ignorant of the suffering of others. I don't think we should care about feelings of a group who are for whatever reason nostalgic about a genocidal oppressive regime.

The genocide, as concluded by literally every independent body, including Israeli historians specialising in genocide.

Let's not pin it all on Netanyuhu, he is a good representation of his society.

Israeli here - I'll try to write this the least political

We are more than two years into full-on genocide and you hesitate to be political? This position reminds me of many Russians who prefer to "stay out of politics" because there are "two sides" to the conflict and it's an uncomfortable topic for them.

I run nextcloud on a NixOS server within a systemd container, so no Docker.

We are sick of devs thinking their app is so important it needs a visual presence at all times

KDE Plasma allows hide selected applications from the tray and make those accessible in a popup window. The solution to this problem is not to remove the feature entirely, but actually implement it properly.

Brockman

Let's not forget those from the big tech (you know the names) who kneeled before the king.

Because he is a solo maintainer and has an outweighed influence on the software I would depend on. Plasma community is much healthier as a whole.

You are using a 3 year old Plasma release (5.27). Give the latest Plasma a try and you should hopefully be positively surprised.

Anyway, what I like of this machine is the 15" screen with a keyboard without a numberpad: the center of the body of the user can be aligned with the center of the screen.

ThinkPad P1 is the machine for you and you can run Linux on it.

There is an initiative to bring Rust as an application development language for KDE

I used Konsole for years and it's great but since switching to Neovim as a primary editor I also switched to Kitty terminal which is in its own league. Kitty is the only one that I substituted the core KDE app for.

I think it's the best desktop experience.

Not just in the Linux world, it's also far better than Windows and macOS.

When did that happen?

Never used Gentoo, but what is its advantages over, say, Guix? I don't actually use guix or nix as a daily driver, although one year ago I did install Guix on a separate partition of my desktop PC and I use nix via Home manager to install various cli-based tools.

"Technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate and use it."

My comment under the post on Omarchy here got downvoted and flagged by the "technology is neutral" crowd because I dared to say that it is unethical to use software produced by a white supremacist.
