  • If anything, can you PLEASE get this to an actual working and reliable level?

    I’ll be honest: lately it sort of mostly finally kinda seems to work, but for the first decade it just NEVER worked reliable.

    The typical KDE conect experience has been:

    I might connect a phone, works? Miracles! Finally! Next day, doesn’t work anymore, refuses to ever work again.

    So please. If you can make it work, AND keep it working, that’d be awesome!











  • When Shah Alam did not follow police commands to drop his curtain rod, they Tasered and beat him, then arrested him, Macaluso said. The officers suffered minor injuries in the scuffle, he said.

    They tasered him, beat him, but then we report that the officers suffered minor injuries

    FUCK the officers, I’m sure they’re fine after assaulting an old blind guy with a curtain rod in his hands, how was he after that assault?

    I’m all for neutrality in reporting but this isn’t it. This is focussing on the grave injuries of the poor police officers who bravely sacrificed themselves against the scour that is a blind old man. Fuck that shit, those police officers should all be arrested and jailed yet here I am reading about how they had a boo-boo on their body after an assault with weapon.

    I’m really trying not to rage here


  • Meh, that’s tech details that you won’t have to deal with at all

    I’ve used Linux on desktop for decades now (started way back at 2002) and the lady time o touched the kernel for normal desktop stuff is literally multiple decades ago

    Windows too has a kernel but nobody talks about it because you can’t really do shit with it unless you’re a developer

    With Linux you can do whatever the fuck you want and it’s all relatively easy. I can access and modify the Linux kernel in 10 seconds flat if I want to. THAT is why people talk a lot about the Linux kernel, because it’s so easy and powerful to use. Microsoft Windows kernels aren’t even worth talking about.

    But as a common user, you don’t HAVE to do stuff with the kernel if you don’t want to. My 70 year old mother doesn’t either and she’s fine using the Linux desktop that I installed for her.

    For high intensity gaming you might have to make small modifications here and there in human readable text files, and usually documentation about it is excellent.

    Most of Linux is so fucking easy to setup that last time I installed both Linux and Windows, the Linux (Kubuntu) cost 30 minutes to install and that includes the time to download the ISO and burn it on a USB and includes drivers for printers and GPU which were all setup and installed out of the box.

    The windows 11 install cost me 7 hours divided over 5 days.

    Amongst all the problems I ran into, I had to make BIOS modifications because it refused to install at all, it fucked up badly because I had the gall to burn a standard ISO with a standard ISO burning tool on Linux, completely forgetting that Microsoft always sabotages their software so that it won’t work well with Linux. I had to install windows on a virtual machine install some special fucking Windows ISO burner tool, burn the USB there, then it worked. That cost me hours over multiple days of searching the Internet on why the frack such a basic thing failed, plus the time required to set all that shit up just to be able to START the installation.

    Then during the installation I got so many questions, so many questions… So many… Please sign up here, please pay more money, please rent our services, please please fracking please! The install itself took a bloody hour to finish

    What I’m trying to say is: Linux is friggin easy. Windows is hell. Windows costs money, spies on you, serves you unwanted ads and your computer is no longer yours.

    Why does anyone even use windows to begin with? I don’t get it.
