I wonder if KDE connect could leverage the way Syncthing does device discovery and pairing

It works across networks, with no configuration

There’s a reason I run Linux, and root my Android

Because it actually feels like my device now

(And fixing issues is significantly easier, if you know where to look)

Just a software dev furry passing by

Viral memes are born out of mutation, much like new viral diseases

I brought one into the office because we only had 1 plunger between 2 stalls

I just scheduled an appointment, after about 1.5 years

So yeah, I can relate

The downvotes aren’t surprising; it’s not a very popular idea

I still think it’s an idea worth exploring, though

Businesses won’t support Linux if they can’t sell something, and it gives us access to the code

We should have more “source available, but you still need to pay for it” licenses

Best of both worlds, the company still gets to sell a product, and we can inspect the source, or even submit PR’s (and maybe get a little kickback (but that’s pie in the sky))

Granted, it’s super easy to remove the license restrictions with the source available

That’s a lot of zeros, when written like that

Gimp is super useful

But the learning curve is insane (especially if you’re not already familiar with digital art/ photo manip)

I would use it, if KDE plasma would support it in their settings GUI

I’m so glad i can use Linux on my work PC

It’s an explicit “opt-out” by the OP, such that their content cannot (legally) be used to train LLMs or such (Chat GPT, Github Copilot, etc)

Well, that’s what I assumed until i read the license terms. It doesn’t explicitly mention AI or LLMs, but it does say

You may not use the material for commercial purposes

Which i assume has the same limitations for AI training, for commercial AI

(I am not a lawyer)

I said nothing about socialism

I said “political propaganda messaging”, of which i find annoying even if they support my political views

The thumbnail is a shot of kde plasma, not w11

You know, I thought that, with Lemmy being less popular than Reddit, there would be less political propaganda messaging on here

But it seems I’m mistaken

While i also disagree with python’s tendency to use exceptions as control flow

Python is a pretty stellar scripting language. I wouldn’t use it for app dev, but it’s quite handy for the odd automation or CLI task

Arch621

I just had this happen to me

I pulled a literal ball of pet fur out of the optical sensor

This is true

Although, i find this isn’t as much an issue if you use python’s STL as much as you can

Pathlib and shutil are really handy for file manips

But, yea interfacing with external CLI utilities like git is a PITA

Oh there’s also xonsh which is just a shell built put of python
