Hmm, to my knowledge, tx generally means “transmit”, as opposed to rx – “receive”.

I don’t think, there is much logic to it…

I think, the problem is that management wants the expert humans to use the non-expert tools, because they’re non-experts and don’t recognize that it’s slower for experts. There’s also the idea that experts can be more efficient with these tools, because they can correct dumb shit the non-expert tool does.

But yeah, it just feels ridiculous. I need to think about the problem to apply my expertise. The thinking happens as I’m coding. If I’m supposed to not code and rather just have the coding be done by someone/-thing else, then the thinking does not occur and my expertise cannot guarantee for anything.
No, I cannot just do the thinking as I’m doing the review. That’s significantly more time-consuming than coding it myself.

Never used one…

I would also definitely recommend to get started with learning Rust. You will need to learn more concepts along the way, but you can still learn about them while you’re coding Rust.

Or rather: I always found it most productive to learn about concepts, while I’m actively using them in a project. So, I would even recommend to jump into Rust now, try to tackle a few smaller projects, and then continue learning general concepts later.

Sort of in the vein of Pixar movies is also Big Buck Bunny, which I had to think of. (With the caveat, that I’m the opposite of a movie person. 😅)

But well, it’s only 10 minutes long and freely available, so IMHO definitely worth watching.
You can do so here, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Buck_Bunny#Plot

Not entirely sure, if ReactOS would count. Its documentation has a section on WiFi and one of the screenshots on their webpage shows Firefox, but that looks to be a rather old version of Firefox, so no idea if modern versions of it work, too, well, and how well the whole WiFi business works, too.

Well, and one could argue that it’s part of the Windows family.

Yeah, similar to VR, they have their use, but compete with technology that pretty much everyone already has, so when push comes to shove, people will use what they have.

I mean, for the bugs in the screenshot, it is more than plenty, if even just 1% of bad code slips through.

And AI-generated code is extremely time-consuming and tricky to review, because you can’t assume there to be rhyme and reason to the changes, so I would be surprised, if they actually put in all the effort to properly review.

Really my biggest frustration is that it isn’t transparent what’s generated and what’s not. If a human wrote the code, then I want to teach them, especially if there’s glaring logic issues in the code.

But at the same time, the most likely cause for glaring logic issues, is if they generated the code. And then it’s just a complete fucking waste of my time to try to teach them.

Also has to be said that KDE on those slower-moving distros is actually buggier than on up-to-date distros. I have to use Kubuntu LTS at work and it has so many more glitches and crashes compared to openSUSE Tumbleweed and NixOS on my personal laptop.

A few years ago, I found Kaffeine and was so surprised that I never saw a video player before with controls in a collapsible sidebar.

Old screenshot, but this is what it looks like when a video is playing:

It seems like a rather obvious idea, but I guess, it doesn’t get copied much, because most video players don’t have a ton of controls to begin with…

Yeah, and you don’t have to know which fork to choose. Only the compatible fork will show up in the search.

(I was going to recommend that, but had something in the back of head, that you needed a manual step to enable the configuration. But I just saw that this is described in the Plasma 5 version, not the Plasma 6 fork, so I guess, it’s not necessary anymore…)

It is the first one, yes. Just the normal keyboard shortcut settings. And all the Krohnkite shortcuts are prefixed with “Krohnkite”, so you can find them easily.

I believe, that’s something which became impossible with Wayland?

But it wasn’t very good under X11 either. Even back then, it was much less clunky to use the various KWin scripts, which offer tiling. Well, and by now Plasma has built-in semi-automatic tiling, which those scripts basically just configure, so they do now feel quite smooth.

Should note that this is still a manual process. For auto-tiling, you want e.g. Krohnkite.

The one you linked is only for KDE Plasma 5. For Plasma 6, you would use this fork: https://codeberg.org/anametologin/Krohnkite

I’d say we’re not there yet, but yeah, LLMs and image generators have accelerated it to the point, where I expect it to only take a few more years.

Gonna be interesting. There’s definitely going to be some enclaves, like invite-only places (in particular messengers), and potentially the fediverse won’t be worth targeting directly. But we do get lots of second-hand content here from places which are worth targeting, so yeah, will probably still notice the change here in one form or another.

I’m genuinely baffled how many oligarchs had contact with Epstein. I do believe their primary job qualification is a lack of morals, but there’s so many ways to be amoral, you don’t have to all be friends with the guy that offers pedophilia.

Yeah, I understand that it isn’t as bad, but it doesn’t explain why they didn’t go with something that’s entirely non-bad. We have the technology.
