Comment Re:Is KDE on old hardware really a good experience (Score 1) 124

My daily driver is an MSI laptop quadcore from 2015 running arch linux with KDE and it is still a great experience. I can decode and play seemlessly 4K 60fps video with no problem using mpv. My browser is chromium based and chrome://gpu shows most function as hardware accelerated. I'm sure gaming experience would be subpar but I'm not a gamer so I don't care. Only modification I made is replacing the mechanical hard drive with an ssd.

I even dual boot with the latest macos sequioa with all Apple services available and working. Ten year old computers with 16G of ram are far more capable than you could imagine.

Is it quite the situation the GP suggested... no, of course not

Still, some people will always jump on any opportunity to shit on Apple, always making stuff up even though there are plenty of real reasons to bash the company.

...and it could be doing something more with them

Phones, computers, smart TVs, routers, etc, could be doing anything with anything.

Comment You know what would GREATLY benefit this site ? (Score -1) 128

First post in this thread is that little shitfuck troll with rsilvergun-derangement syndrome. Posting anonymously of course, because that's what these spineless cowardly losers always do.

Do you know what /. would greatly benefit from ? If the moderation system was changed so that every anonymous post would start at a moderation level of -1 instead of 0.

This way we wouldn't have to continually waste our modpoints downmodding these trolls (which is clearly the goal here: making us waste or modpoints, that is). And it still wouldn't prevent the very rare actually relevant anonymous posts from being modded up if necessary.

That is, of course, assuming that the current moderation system isn't working exactly as intended by the /. gods.
