What would you replace the taskbar with?

I haven’t read about this before.

It’s interesting that (judging from the screenshot), they even tried to recreate the Apple menu, which on macOS isn’t a start menu after all; but I do wonder what is the way to start apps in this interface? Did they try to clone macOS in that regard to and do that through the “Finder” (probably Dolphin)?

Obviously the way the previous commenter worded it would infringe on the platforms’ free speech, it’s only workable if we replace “harmful” with “illegal” (e.g. libelous).

unfortunately this is mostly an instance of https://xkcd.com/1102/

Me neither. Anyone know what advantages or disadvantages it has compared to Shotcut?

In GTA 5, get on a train, get a wanted level, try to keep the wanted level for an entire round-trip around the map, then try to escape the wanted level, all while staying on the train and surviving.

(it’s been a few years since I tried this and don’t remember if those were the exact rules, but they were something like this)

The law will be the same in all EU countries, including whichever parts you think will be “not mandatory” (I did read those news articles and am fully aware that mandatory scanning is no longer on the table).

misleading headline, this isn’t a list of countries in which the law will (if it passes) be different (it won’t be, it’s an EU law, so will be the same in all EU countries), it’s a list of countries that currently support/oppose the law

That looks good, I might try it over the weekend. :D Thanks for the effort.

If you come up with one, I might start to use it. I generally like the classic Windows style because the first computer interfaces I ever used looked like that, but nowadays I definitely insist on dark mode.

It isn’t any of my business whether other people use light themes… but IMHO dark themes are just so much easier on the eyes, no matter the surrounding light, that I don’t get why anyone would if they have the option.

In my mind it’s weird to use any light theme at all now that dark themes are widely available, but if you are going to, this isn’t any weirder than any other.

Another disadvantage it seems to have over many other themes is that in tabbed interfaces there is no color bar on the currently active tab, so you can’t spot the currently active tab as quickly.

The FSF has a page dedicated to this exact question: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html.en

Why do I want this? There are already many browsers available, and this one isn’t even (apparently: yet) FOSS, so why should I be excited about this one?

It reminds me more of the AWS outage last month.

It’s probably not half of the Internet, but the fact that it’s so many very visible sites should be a warning sign to everyone that the Internet is nowadays too reliant on a few points of failure (which can cause other problems, e.g. censorship).

likely not either (much) better or worse than any other place where you store your files unencrypted on someone else’s computer?

Not sure what exactly you’re asking.

hmmm I see; could not at least aimbots still be detected on the server side?

I’m not a gaming dev, but a full-stack web dev; is it not common sense that data needs to be validated on the server side, not client? I don’t really get why client-side “anti-cheat” is a thing, but may be missing something.

When I read things like this, I struggle to understand the economic logic behind it.

How much money does Microsoft really expect to get from more people using Edge instead of Chrome? I mean, both of them are provided free of charge anyway. Does the control over the default search engine or the advertising technology or something like that really bring them more money than these “rewards” cost?

KDE uses “meta” to refer to the Windows key. Emacs uses “meta” to refer to the Alt key. You are correct that GNOME calls the Windows key “Super”.

This causes some confusion, obviously we Linux users don’t want to call it the Windows key, so the best solution is to call the keys “Super” and “Alt”, those are unambiguous.
