Perhaps in the next version of Debian I will get a KDE which has this feature. I didn't realize how far behind they were even in Trixie until this story came out.
It's probably for the best, because in the past when I've run cutting edge KDE I've regretted it.
When used properly/carefully, it can be very safe.
It can be safe for humans, but not for bees. I've seen people out spraying it on flowering plants poking up through sidewalks. Hey assholes, do you want to have a future or not? Guess not.
Drupal has done the same thing. I installed their new turnkey distribution ("Drupal CMS 2.0") and it came with an AI bullshit module. Naturally this was the first thing I tore out. (Followed by the new package manager, which also means losing automatic updates, but neither thing works well anyway so the only reasonable way to manage Drupal is from the CLI using composer and drush.)
On the plus side, it's easy to not use these misfeatures.
If I wanted AI to do something for me for Drupal, it would be to write me a theme. Fuck that's gotten annoying since olden times.
If it's edible, inexpensive, and nutritious, there's a MASSIVE market among the food is fuel crowd.
This is why people everywhere eat beans.
We evolved to enjoy meat, because it's efficient to eat it.
Those processes both are and aren't random. That is to say, they are orderly and work based on rules. This is not different from vat-grown "meat", except that the rules are different. An animal grows in an egg or a womb, the conditions differ from a vat (or another container) even if you put in all the same stuff, which they don't.
My concern about vat-grown "meat" is that when the proteins go wrong the animal becomes nonviable and probably isn't even successfully born.
What's the evidence that they had to be paid to deny it? Nobody wants to be Cassandra.

This study is based on executives taking surveys. It's not based on executives submitting financials for review.
But how much more documentation are we really requesting per person overall? The population has almost doubled since I was a kid, so there's a lot of increase in work to be done right there. The DMV isn't requesting any more documentation from me than the first time I went. Most things which didn't used to require documentation still don't. About the only place I've actually noticed an increase in paperwork is in medical institutions. Filing my taxes is still easy and the even IRS doesn't require me to provide any of the forms I get to use in my tax preparation except the one which says how much I owe — and I do that electronically.
Times of old were simpler if you mean before the Romans invented bureaucracy, but that was some time ago. They required written legal contracts. It's all been downhill since
After the Science establishment got people fired for warning against Covid GE mRNA vaccines for saying that they kill people (calling us anti-vaxxers)
You're anti-vaxxers.
then later admitting that this was, in fact, the case, and was known all along
Even when injected with a placebo some people will have negative effects. Everyone but anti-vaxxers knows this. They're also all better at math.
There is no safety or cost reason to prefer this over normal analog protein vaccines. Only advantage MRNA has is reduced up front capex.
Well, good thing capex doesn't matter because we don't use capitalism
There is. It's the kind on a cord with buttons on it, like you use to control things. There's one in our bus to control the chair lift. I've serviced and replaced them on hydraulic dump trailers. The word means something suspended or hung.
I do begrudge there being two major competing toolkits in Qt and GTK
It's just not a problem in practice as you can easily run them both at the same time, and there have been tools which theme Qt with GTK or vice versa for years so you can have essentially the same look across both.

I'm going to Disneyland!
I'd suggesting using the same interface since as you say it's somewhat well-defined and works across different compositors. There's also no reason that X11 cannot have a standard compositor which does the bare minimum. In fact such compositors already exist, so they could be used.
Oh, I'm not trying to talk you into anything. I'm only pointing out that you can configure things. You don't have to learn new things unless they work totally differently. A lot of what a DE does is happening behind the scenes and making things more harmonious by applying similar settings to different applications. If that's not relevant to you, why indeed should you spend the resources?
A lot of key combos are just weird in that you have to learn them, like anything with an fkey. But the least weird of those are the commonest simply by definition. But then there are the downright logical ones like alt-tab. Tab is where it is because it's good for tabbing. Alt is convenient to press. Where there's an alternate switcher I map it to Super-tab, but otherwise, why would I want to use anything else? It's not about learning it, it's about convenience. Also, if I have to use some other system for some reason, I'm not reflexively pressing some combo that doesn't do anything.
If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders. -- Hal Abelson
