I'm like you, the reference *is* Windows Explorer, out of Win2K. After that they started adding tons of garbage (the ribbon !!!). Fav function was Ctrl-+ to optimize columns widths. But I digress, the folder view panel of Dolphin, combined with disabled folders in the main panel does pretty much the same things. And things like having the Konsole underneath is fantastically productive. The fact the it is highly customizable is a big plus, for instance you can add your own menus to the right-click with a moderate amount of digging. No, I'm not going back to Windows after 25 years !

Seriously, how is a job applicant supposed to be able to distinguish what a hacker asks them to do versus the typical humiliation ritual that passes for the standard employment experience we are accustomed to?

It's two slightly different flavors of abuse.

No. It's not white guilt.

And it's money coming from wealthy to the poor.

The best way to do reparations is to make sure nobody goes hungry and to increase opportunities.

I think that what everyone needs to realize is we are all in this together. 99% of the population is closer to the bottom than the top.

Let's ensure no one goes hungry, homeless or had injustice. Reparations to everyone.

We should show mercy because many decent people have benefited from evil.

We can't look at countries collectively. Religions. White or dark skin. We are not at war with nations, we are complicit in theft for leaders.

If we don't punish the results of war crimes we only empower the excuses.

The Trump admin removed everything that would have prevented this war crime and implemented AI to give them another thing to point fingers at.

I'm less afraid of Iranian justice than I am of Epstein administration mercy.

When the Trump admin fires oversight, the agency that prevents civilian casualties, and hires for loyalty and evil -- it's not incompetence, it's policy.

The "AI made me" was adopted from the same company that did it in Palestine.

They killed non combatant kids because they didn't are not to kill kids.

This is war crimes. And if we don't punish the results we will only improve the excuses.

Thank you for this comment. Iâ(TM)ve been trying to put the same idea into words; the Trump administration tried to do a Bush911 but failed due to incompetent evil.

Also, deep respect to the Iranians for not being bated into a trap. The Trump admin has lessened our cyber security. Poked every bees nest. Taunted and insulted. All to get someone, anyone to attack the American people or our electronic infrastructure.

Nope. Crickets.

They arenâ(TM)t smart enough to pull off a false flag. Too lazy to drum up support. But dumb and arrogant enough to try.

Oh, and rewatching that âoeattemptâ on Trump. He stands there waiting with a fist up while someone has the presence of mind to lower the American flag hanging from a winch so it could be in the photo. Thatâ(TM)s our patriotic pathetic narrative on display. Once you see it you canâ(TM)t unsee it.

No, but it will replace the half Planck.

We donâ(TM)t need long text for short word. We already have inch and ounce. The same value but ironically less character than âoeTrumpdicks.â

I'm typing this on the 2010 laptop I use daily. I just disable all animations in KDE advanced settings. Then it is snappy and always responds instantly. I have no problem doing raw image edition, even video edition.

Dolphin is pretty good. And colleagues are always amazed you can just F4 to get a console in the same dir as the file you are editing. It can even work as a full fledged programming project editor, although that is a beast to configure properly and IMHO not really its purpose.

I started on KDE with gentoo in around 2001 but some things in Gentoo I never understood (USE variables ?). I started using Kubuntu in 2006 on a tower PC, then successfully cloned the disk to a laptop in 2010, then upgraded said laptop to Neon, then a few years later 'downgraded' it back to Kubuntu (because some things [drivers?] in Neon were just too old; that was a beast to do without losing the OS nor the data). I'm still typing this on the 'same' OS I installed in 2006 !
What I like about KDE is the ability to customize.

The question has the answer. âoeSlave societyâ. The chains are hidden. We already had housing and food scarcity licked in the 80s. As productivity increased, more scarcity and excuses had to be manufactured. âoeWe have to stay competitive.â And apparently, profits to shareholders arenâ(TM)t a part of the price?

This is something that really paints the picture; around 2015 our MIC consolidated military contractors from hundreds down to about five. âoeEfficiencyâ led to 50% layoffs but a shoulder mounted rocket went from $25000 to $400,000. Now for the petro dollar or to end it, we are in Iraq. $2 million interceptors chasing $25k drone. Because thatâ(TM)s where your living wage went. To blow up a school in Iran rather than build one in the USA. The rest was sagely invested in a yacht, cocaine and comfort women and of course someone on TV to tell you some other reason.

So, if you ask the various chatbots who you should vote for for the midterms, what do they answer ?
