What do you mean? They specifically say they received a counterfeit water bottle in their post.
Signed, someone who has received a counterfeit Canon DSLR camera battery, fridge water filter, and "official" Nintendo Switch case from Amazon. (Albeit some years back for all of them, as I rarely buy there any longer.)
There are a number of DE-independent clipboard managers that can do that as well as other features, like keeping a clipboard history so you can copy in series then paste in series, or having keyboard shortcuts transform the clipboard contents by way of a command, so you can e.g. copy some multi-line text then paste it as a single line joined by spaces.
This is neat, but I find the charts extremely hard to parse due to the color gradients and the similar shades, especially of blue and teal. I find the Merry Sky charts a lot easier to understand.
Thanks for the feedback. You helped make my app more readable (I went a little overboard on the gradients; I thought the gradients would help convey the sky condition):
- Also added shadow/glow to plot lines so they "pop out" more.
I'm not sure which parts you think are blue and teal. Open to suggestions for better colors! (There are only so many colors, and I like keeping the precipitation related colors all bluish.)
You mean you prefer C over F? Tapping any temperature will toggle between the two. (This always comes up, so the app should probably default to units based on the user's location: the default is F only if the app detects you're in the US)
- Toggling C/F also toggles the scale on the radar to km. Eventually, I will get around to adding a dedicated settings page.
- However, the app was designed so one could get a sense of the weather without numeric labels: temperature is a very relative experience, so use the spatial/color cues to compare yesterday, today, and forecast days.
- Notice now much more space C needs when toggling between C and F. F's 0 to 99 range fits the natural range of temperatures humans experience (weather, body temperature). Humans just don't experience anything beyond 50 degrees C. At the same time, a single delta C is too large for the precision human bodies can detect. (Humans need something closer to 0.5C precision, which is what 1 degree F is.)
- As as result C needs nearly twice as much horizontal space compared to F: due to going negative more often and needing an extra decimal for minimal precision required.
I'd sneak in 'Toggle C/F' somewhere and hook it to the same function you use on the numbers.
Fahrenheit goes negative at a measly -18C. Where I live -20 to -30C is not uncommon. Whether it's 17.5 or 18C typically does not matter, continual changes in wind and other factors will for pretty much all practical purposes quench that difference.
If there are actual tracks on the playlist it would be nice to see the song titles. Judging from the few I listened to they were AI slop so I guess that wouldn't matter. Maybe I got unlucky, but the AI backgrounds definitely don't inspire confidence either (a slideshow of free images with a creative commons license or something would be much better).
I get not liking it (even if it happens only once a year), but saying that the only reason is "greed" is not only reductive but incorrect in my opinion. The idea that KDE has an income source separate from large corps and vendors but regular users, for instance, makes a lot of sense to me. (And the negative blog post you cite clearly involves some not-totally-public drama; I would be very hesitant to judge a project based off something like that, especially since other people have contradicted that person's view elsewhere.)
I can't say I understand a lot of your other points (what does "Software should not be about putting pressure on people - it should be about enabling people" mean, and how does KDE put pressure on people?). And what do bad GTK docs have to do with KDE?
I should have looked for it myself but every time it happened I was busy doing something else and then I forgot (yay ADHD).
And thanks to you for making KDE. I really don't like this time where computers are becoming more locked-in and opinionated (e.g. I can't configure it the way I want). KDE is a breath of fresh air. I have extensively reconfigured it and I haven't even needed to use a single plugin. So I've donated for years now because I really appreciate the work.
Even more specifically, the full menu chain is System Settings -> Notifications -> Application Settings, which then includes a search bar where you can enter "Donation" or "Request for Donation". (Mentioning it since entering that term in the main search bar doesn't bring up any results)
I personally like the popup. At once a year it is far from intrusive and it gave me the nudge I needed to finally contribute to them this year. KDE is great and deserved my support.
Image looks the same to me in Firefox (Linux) and Falkon as it does in image viewers (Gwenview and GIMP). Which in all cases seems kind of washed out, so I think that's the "smoky," not "normal" image but I'm not sure.
Huh, I've observed the opposite, AI-generated text uses spaces most of the time. Might depend on language? Style guides I use (like Chicago) don't put spaces between em dashes so those always stand out immediately to me.
This is very neat, though the difficulty and time it took to get all this material speaks to the problems with subscription services and game preservation. As more and more services and games move to subscription-only models where individuals do not own or even control local copies of the games they play, once those services shut down (or specific titles are pulled) more and more games will be locked away, forgotten, and then lost forever.
