KDE isn't so bloated that it doesn't run on a 2010 laptop with a first gen i5 and 4GB RAM. Sure that laptop struggles with Chrome and heavy websites, but that is an issue with modern websites, not KDE. I do think there's plenty of room for improvement but when on Windows or Mac, I miss the various KDE and Linux niceties and customisations I'm used to.

An interesting experiment I did on a Lenovo T450 (4th gen i5, 16GB RAM) was to disable all but one core and throttle that core to 800Mhz. Still usable, if a little sluggish. Overall KDE is a nice balance when it comes to features and bloat.

I have KDE under Wayland (kubuntu) on this laptop, and KDE under X11 on others. I barely notice the difference (the main one being that this is KDE 6 whereas the X11 ones are using KDE 5).

I did most of my window manager hopping in the late 90s. Before KDE got the point where I jumped to it, I daily drove Windows and only ran Windows on server machines. Then about 3 years ago I gave KDE another spin and things rapidly changed. Now I only use Windows for creative apps for music and graphics which don't exist on Linux.

Is even shooging against the law now?

Trusted third party that collects and batches multiple orders into lumps big enough to keep the tariff overhead reasonable.

Of course it would have to charge its own overhead for receiving and dispatching orders... never mind.

I have to think that there were a few other steps between #1 seller of robotic vacuums and chapter 11. Maybe even 10 chapters :-)

Guh. How long until my 'bot is a brick.

I work with Germans, believe me, you will get another understanding of commas (and capital letters). Point is, you need to know what you're doing with any punctuation. There are plenty of situations where a semicolon is more appropriate than a full-stop.

Teachers these days use green pen because itâ(TM)s less confrontational. Youâ(TM)re clearly traumatised! No idea what their problem was, but semicolons are very useful.

What youâ(TM)re missing is monospaced text and fixed line lengths that are longer than the mobile view by a few words on their own line and annoyingly too short for a computer display. The holy warriors of the Usenet will then be very happy.

They sold their future long ago and yet next time it will be different. Just get back to a nice, simple but extensible browser that doesn't get in the user's way with arbitrary constraints or continuous god-awful re-designs.

I'm no economist. But the way I see it, companies making 100m's out of such trading are extracting 100m's of realisable value from the economy while contributing nothing materially back to it. What does society gain in return for the 100m's these traders make from trading?

Previously you had to engage image mode to do an image search. Now you can Ctrl-V an image into the normal search box.

Maybe they should have been a little more nervous.

It's going to collide with their bilateral agreement with the EU that provides freedom of movement between Switzerland and the EU. Will be interesting to see how that works out.

So the great monocultured unwashed masses will be ruled by diverse or wealthy foreigners? What could possibly go wrong?

I'll be surprised if I find out EOs have any authority outside the executive branch of the federal government. Otherwise a presnit could just unilaterally ban abortion, change federal, state, and locals laws and tax rates, disband Congress...
