They did put a pretty massive gap between Skyrim and ES6. Of course, fans will start to wonder, whether anything's in the pipeline, when it could have realistically been close to release in 2018 already. I guess, they focused on Fallout for a few years, which is a valid decision, but I don't think, they ever announced that this means ES6 isn't yet in the works.

Taskmanager is actually privileged and can force close running apps. On KDE the same apps exist but they are not privileged enough

You can right-click on a process and select Send Signal → Kill. It will then ask for elevated privileges, if you're trying to kill a process not directly started by you.

If you mean that some program really hangs your whole session, well, the last-ditch option is to switch to a TTY and kill it from there. But yeah, that one isn't equipped with a nice GUI...

Possible, yeah. Falkon was previously an independent project (QupZilla). I don't know how much they've intermingled with the other KDE devs yet, but that's certainly no insurmountable problem either.

Yeah, it started its life as "Quick And Dirty Operating System" (don't know, why they renamed it) and even that was basically a ripoff of CP/M: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86-DOS

I guess, you can say that they did put in own effort into developing the windowing system. I wouldn't want to call that "innovating", since they were late to the party, but I guess, that would be moving the goal posts here...

Oh, I rather doubt it.

It is built on top of Qt, so I assume, theoretically, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to do the port, but you need someone who regularly tests+fixes it under macOS. And well, it's a non-commercial project, so you need someone who volunteers to do that...

Microsoft has rarely innovated themselves...

Edit: I just remembered that even Windows was externally acquired, so I believe, it would be more correct to say that Microsoft has basically never innovated something themselves.

I tend to use Falkon, which is developed by the KDE community...

Guess, AMP didn't give them enough control over servers, now they also want to capture the clients.

In my experience, it can be difficult to grasp for privileged folks, who do kind of have not that much to fear, if they don't hide their identity. But for minority groups and well, women, it comes a lot more naturally.

They got bought out and the new owner laid off 50% of the staff: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/oct/17/bandcamp-lays-off-half-its-staff-after-buyout-by-songtradr

You mean that it's undefined?

You can think of a cake. You can divide a cake into 4 pieces or 2 pieces or basically not divide it, by 'dividing' it into 1 piece.

But it's not possible to divide a cake into 0 pieces. It doesn't make logical sense. You have to eat it (subtract from it) to actually make 0 pieces. With division, the sum of all pieces has to be 1 cake. If there's one cake, there's at least one piece.

What's confusing is that we have separately decided that 'dividing' a cake into 0.5 pieces means you multiply it by 2. So, either 2 cakes or a cake that's twice as large. That is why some mathematicians do treat 1/0 as ∞.

Applies to both, American football and soccer. 🙃

Is that really easier to believe for you than it simply being a useful feature that they want to advertise to users who aren't techy enough to opt into features like this?

I mean, what kind of resource constraints are we talking about? If it's low-powered hardware that can't run Node.js, then it's obviously going to be worth it...

One of those things is telemetry — whatever that means to Mozilla

You can type about:telemetry into the URL bar to see what it sends.

That usually doesn't work, because you need all the dependencies, too. You can download each of those as .deb as well, if you really have no way of accessing the internet, but it's certainly no fun.

These images always look so fucking creepy...

Universities are cool (presumably only if you live in a country without tuition).

Yesterday, I was at this road-side toilet, standing at the urinal, when this guy came in after me. He also picked a urinal, unzipped and then, yeah, basically this noise. I really thought, wow, this guy had some pressure. Even he himself jumped from the noise.

...Turns out, that was just the flushing mechanism, going off in some interval.

I would not stand so close to that...
