I think it lacks adoption because people assume it’s trying to compete with the Internet as it exists now.
There have been experiments in delivering Wikipedia pages over sms.
If the current Internet fails (or is encouraged to become useless), Meshtastic might be the only way to get information from Wikipedia (mirrors).
Not for AI-generated JPEGs and YouTube ads, sure.
For organizing and communicating what actually matters? It’s plenty.

Oh nice, I think I’ve used that theme.
I was imagining something a little different.
I had in mind something like xfce’s XML files where settings can be locked at the system level, so when they’re generated at the user level, those individual settings refuse to be masked.
I think for Plasma I’d need a script that runs after the theme has been changed that flips the “group-by” setting back to “never”.
You’re doing it right now but your brain filters it out.
I just need to run a pacman -Ql on the package. I’m guessing it takes the normal sequence of ~ dotfiles if present, else etc, else var lib.
I looked it up, there’s some promising stuff in qmls in /usr/share/plasma, desktop configuration in plasmoids, but that includes a panel configuration qml higher up.
Even if I do tinker with that, an update would wipe it out. I wasn’t able to find any equivalent in etc, maybe as with most things on Arch it’s “some assembly required”.
Oh shoot, while we’re at it, is there a way to change default settings for things? I’m not even sure where to start looking, documentation-wise.
I want my taskbar to never group by names, but I regularly need to set that again each time I theme-hop.
It’s got to regenerate that from somewhere, right? Feels /var/lib-esque, I’ll look there
Your lungs have a smell
Wait, is Gnome really still default?
What about Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040?

In the Apocrypha, childhood Jesus got mad at another kid and turned him into a tree.
Now, I’m not saying they’re the same tree. But I am saying I can do whatever I want in my own headcanon.
2 And when Jesus saw what was done, he was wroth and said unto him: O evil, ungodly, and foolish one, what hurt did the pools and the waters do thee? behold, now also thou shalt be withered like a tree, and shalt not bear leaves, neither root, nor fruit.
I can’t argue with that.
With the systemd example, they’ve put the bus in /run, but with different sessions and slices and environments (which could all be concurrent), they’ll spawn a new bus, so there’s no general way to tell it which bus you want.
If you have a cron job (sorry, a systemd-timer job) set up to project your mailbox to your bathroom mirror on the hour, you’d want that isolated from your regular user bus.
I love where Plasma is these days (check out the Tiles editor with Meta+T), but I do wish it was easier to pick only the desktop elements I want. It feels like it’s all-or-nothing.
Whatever i3 is using underneath, somebody put a line somewhere to tell everything where to find the bus.
If you’re not using a full desktop environment then you’re choosing to cover the features you’ve opted out of.
I respect that choice, and I’m glad our ecosystem allows it. But also I understand that you’re not going to get the full benefits of a desktop environment without the desktop environment.
Yes, so it knows where the bus is. That seems… normal?
You’re right, it is closer to texting. Which means you’re competing with private gargantuan monopolies with only $50 and a few friends.
