KDE cares about your input [devices]
  • Honestly I wish those developers would focus on the basics rather than esoteric input devices.

    KDE isn't stable enough with a regular mouse and keyboard, let alone fancy input devices. It crashes WAY too often and has too many bugs which require the user to constantly have to use the terminal to work around.

    KDE: get your priorities straight and focus on basic stability and usability first.

  • Help Mozilla Test the Thunderbird for Android Beta | Mozilla Thunderbird is an open-source, privacy-focused email app
  • No that will not work, users already opened an issue and asked to remove the spyware and Mozilla closed it:

    https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8199

    Mozilla has gone full evil already, they took the only full featured, completely privacy respecting email app on the platform and killed it and they did it sneakily as well just like they did with PPA on firefox.

    Luckily K9 in its existing version is fully functional. Users who care about privacy can continue to use K9.

  • Help Mozilla Test the Thunderbird for Android Beta | Mozilla Thunderbird is an open-source, privacy-focused email app
  • K9 is a near perfect email client.

    All Mozilla did was take an existing privacy respecting app (with zero user tracking) and add their spyware telemetry code to it: 544mozilla.telemetry.glean.

    Now they are gas lighting users by advertising this new version as "privacy-focused".

    Mozilla is like a virus at this point.

  • Help Mozilla Test the Thunderbird for Android Beta | Mozilla Thunderbird is an open-source, privacy-focused email app
  • Mozilla added hundreds of classes of spyware to K9 in their mozilla.telemetry.glean.* (which previous to Mozilla's involvement was spyware free) and rebranded it "Thunderbird" and now advertise it as "privacy-focused" wow..

    From an exodus privacy scan of the code:

  • Help Mozilla Test the Thunderbird for Android Beta | Mozilla Thunderbird is an open-source, privacy-focused email app
  • "Privacy focused" how can Mozilla lie like that? Mozilla must have a pretty dim view of users if they think they can take an existing private email app, add their disgusting user tracking code and advertise their new changes as "private".

    Mozilla took over the K9 project and stuffed it full of intrusive telemetry just like firefox and Thunderbird on the desktop.

    K9 has no telemetry, tracking or spyware, this version does.

    PPA for your mobile email client, coming your way.

    Pass I will not use this client.

  • SketchUP 2024 running flawlessly on Arch Linux using Wine (system 9.17)
  • Could you elaborate on this further? Is it just a generic KDE panel? How did you combine the two to get that effect?

    Specifically how did you get the min Max close buttons from the active window titlebar to merge into the panel like that?

    I known you can set no titlebar and frame for a window but how do you get the window buttons into the panel?

  • This week in Plasma: Stabilization for 6.2
  • It seems that KDE spend 100% of the development time rounding corners and 0% fixing the multitude of crippling crashes and bugs that plague the software making it unusable for daily computing.

    I don't think this organisation has its priorities straight.

  • Intel Core Ultra 200V promises Arm-beating battery life without compatibility issues
  • What specific driver and linux tools do you use to throttle your CPU?

    Also throttling often produces the opposite result in terms of extended battery life as it likely takes more time in the higher states to do the same amount of work whereas running at a faster clock speed, the work is completed faster and the CPU returns to a lower less energy using state quicker and resides there more of the time.

    I would be interested to hear your results. Have you done any tests comparing a throttled versus throttled system with the tools you are using?

  • Starlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies
  • Its simple like many Musk projects he over promises and under delivers.

    Starlink performance is slow and unreliable. Sometimes you get 100 Mbps and sometimes you get < 1 Mbps with the average being around 25. So it cant even really be considered broadband.
