> keeping ones movies or any other data on hard drives

Where do you get the movies to "keep" ? I'm genuinely curious, because I purchase games to keep using gog. What is the movie (or music - bandcamp?) equivalent?

You need to keep in mind that the entire bluray menu system was in Java. That alone was fun for performance.

Oh the irony...

The trick is that keeping honeybees can bring in dollars. That's why honeybees were "saved". Your single hive in the back of your yard isn't a problem, the industry that transports hives all over the country is.

Of what financial value are "The bumblebees, sweat bees, mason bees, miner bees, leafcutters and other native bees"? Yeah, the same as clean water and air.

Usually this happens because they don't have their own wallet, but use a service. If you use your own wallet, short of physically restraining you, they can't do squat.

We tracked that using jira tickets : IT had account deactivation tickets, tracking those gave a very precise overview of what was going on.

It also depends on the screens you have. I have 3:2 ratio. With KDE plasma I partially mimicked the MacOS way: menubar in panel on top, and fullscreen windows lose decorations.
The bottom panel is a "normal" panel.

I can't do panels on sides: 2 displays next to each other make sides a bit complex, and sides don't work for any kind of text without being ridiculously wide.

Why doesn't iOS accept your letsencrypt cert?
And, since it's corporate wifi, why don't you use MDM?

I guess you have no social circle, otherwise you'd know that's not the case.

> it’s a stretch for a psychiatrically-diagnosed 19 year old kid to blame their problems on “all the social media”

No, it's not. The algorithms suggesting content are designed to keep you hooked and scrolling. If the social network was without suggestion algorithms, I'd probably agree with you. Algorithmically curated feeds are a big problem.

you can read how XMPP usage of the signal protocol deals with this: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xe...

and then there's GMail with it's version of "encrypted email", which only indicates that the first SMTP connection in the chain was secured by TLS.
Wording does matter, but wording is the trickery.

plasma-login-manager exists since march 2025. "Drops support" is a big headline for a project that exists for less than a year.

yes it was forked from SDDM. Yes BSD support might have been already there. logind helps support the login process, why not use it? It's a dbus API, BSD can have its own implementation. Same as it uses the Linux DRM stack for video drivers.

Here's why it exists: https://blog.davidedmundson.co...

Then read The Ministry for the Future, and The Second Sleep by Robert Harris.
Both a grim but possible outlook.

Depends on the way it's done. If you want to see the Internet stop being a Common Carrier and have only approved content, then root for the Italian way.

From the article:
> I did take the time to install a KDE Plasma theme that makes it look like Windows XP, though. Just because.

That WinXP look isn't the default.

I will admit I did try baiting you just a little bit.
