Has he considered sending a message to the guy directly rather than posting about it on social media?

Ah yeah, that seems to be it. When I drop my keys in the right place, it goes into suspend. If I lift them back off afterwards, it wakes back up.

Neat. 🙃

Oh yeah, I was kind of playing devil’s advocate. It is certainly also cursed in many ways…

Hmm, that is kind of cool, in that you can have text on all 4 sides and it’s still generally readable. Not really possible for vertical panels…

Today, I noticed that my glasses case sticks to my work laptop like a magnet.
I played around with it for a few seconds, then the thought struck me, that it might be my glasses case that’s magnetic, and I might be fucking up the electronics or the HDD or something by holding it close to my laptop. Pulled away real quick then. 😅

I did try with my keys later, and well, turns out that it’s my work laptop that’s magnetic, so I guess, I wasn’t fucking anything up after all…

Damn, I’m seeing the ads for the first time, but have heard multiple times already of people calling them confusing, and I definitely understand why.

Imagine telling your mum you want an XBOX for Christmas and she buys you a laptop…

Feels like one of those jokes that explicitly shouldn’t go into programmerhumor. A programmer that doesn’t interact with Linux, that’s something to tell the world about…

Obsidian is not open-source…

I just saw this on F-Droid, will need to test it, but sounds like it could be really good: https://f-droid.org/packages/lu.knaff.alain.saf_sftp

I’m hoping, it works like mounting or FUSE on proper Linux, where you can just use normal applications to transparently access network files. Then you’d be able to use any old file manager app to actually work with the files…

You probably just misread, but just to note that SFTP is different from SMB. They’re similar in purpose, but basically competing protocols…

What we expect from candidates:

[…]

• Easily breaks software, deliberately or by accident

😆

Well, bullet bras were a thing for quite a while, too:

Yeah, this should be equivalent to interpolation search, which has an average performance of O(log(log(n))).

It helps that the months are separately indexed, so instead of a search on 365 input elements, you can do two searches with much lower input size, i.e. 12 and 31.

But yeah, you’re still in the larger O(log(log(n))) category with that.

From the article:

Before Nova, there was Firefox Proton, an update focusing on removing visual clutter with simplified menus back in June 2021 alongside Firefox 89. Going back even further, we saw the 2017 “Photon” redesign land with Firefox 57.

(The design that landed alongside the Quantum update was called “Photon”.)

Believe it or not, they make the browser not just for you. I don’t use the sidebar either, but a colleague uses nothing but the sidebar.

Well, their main problem is attention. And we are looking at a news article right now.

I’m seeing this trend towards rounded corners in quite a few places, though. Certainly feels like early days of a larger design trend…

Well, you certainly have more of a dictionary available than I do. For me, it looks like this:

(Which, again, might actually be broken on my distro by excessive minimalism. No idea.)

My About→Components section in Kate says this:

Kate: 25.12.2
KDE Frameworks: 6.23.0
Qt: Using 6.10.1 and built against 6.10.1
NixOS 26.05 (Yarara) (Wayland)
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
Kernel: linux 6.19.2

You could try setting the “Default language” in the Spellcheck settings to something else and see, if it still completes the same words, just to try to find out whether these dictionaries are connected.

But yeah, might be worth filing a bug report with the Kubuntu devs. At the very least, it would tell them this behavior may not be wanted by everyone, if it is intentional…

Hmm, that’s strange. Don’t think, it’s supposed to work like that, but that does not either seem like behavior that would manifest from a simple bug.

The words in your screenshot do seem to all be in the English dictionary, well, except for “trotz”, but that’s a German word, so might still be that it somehow takes a dictionary into account.
There might be some dictionary package installed through apt, which might enable that.

Can you check in the Kate settings under Editing→Spellcheck, if any languages show up there? On my system, I actually have none there. Perhaps, if I “fixed” that for me, I might end up with similar completions as you have there…

Also, sidenote: To my knowledge, the T₊ icon means that it is a word completion (normally based on words in the document), and not a keyword completion or similar.

Oh man, I don’t want to get deep into all the politics involved, but man, this reads like complete non-sense:

The outage comes following Iranian attacks on the UAE as retaliation for US and Israeli strikes on Iran.

If they did specifically target US corporations in UAE, that would make some amount of sense as direct retaliation.
I guess, you can also attack UAE and hope that they pressure the US to stop invading.
But in any case, this seems like a really good way to drag more nations into the conflict, or at least to force them to become active, which is not in the interest of Iran.
