People always say KDE looks better than Gnome, but to me KDE always looks unfinished. There's too much going on. The spacing between items feels like it's from 2009, it's hard to describe. Gnome is no looker, but it looks better than KDE. I use dash-to-panel and desktop icons, though.

>>106509879
Why is floating taskbar popular nowadays? It takes away the ability to flick the mouse to show the desktop, the menu, click applications easily, and it also wastes vertical space. Do people not care about functionality anymore?

>>106518081
The floating taskbar on Plasma retracts when windows are maximised/come close to the taskbar. So, you're never going to lose real estate over it.

so only in a fantasy world?

also, FOSS still doesn’t work without hierarchy. a project lead has to set the standard and decide the direction of the software. At best they can trust the discretion of a few close individuals who share an understood common interest for what they believe the project should be. FOSS projects that don’t have this centralization and try to rule by committee just end up spinning in place. successful projects also have a select few primary contributors who do the bulk of the work to the extent that the project could just as well have survived without any of the one off contributions in the first place

>>106509879
Some are paid by KDE e.V. or by organisations contracted by larger organisations who use KDE.

The Sircles CEO is a egomaniacal schizo. It's not clear to me that he actually knows he's scamming people but he's a massive retard. Secondhand info I've gotten suggests that he apparently has never had a business plan. When he was asked once about a business plan, he pointed to some kid in the office and said "he's good with computers" and that's the closest thing he's ever had.
Same guy apparently has a tendency to threaten employees.

All the same people who do Sircles are also Tech2U owners. Apparently Tech2U is morally bankrupt as a company. Another ex employee told me once they had him do the same service call to a dementia patient like 6 times because the guy couldn't remember and kept calling. When he spoke up about it, they told him it wasn't his place to have an opinion

>>106518397
Oh also. Same CEO allegedly would bring suspiciously young girls into the office on rotation. Like changed on a weekly basis type thing. Same guy was accused of having a coke addiction. There's something super suspicious about that whole sect.

Most likely America. Boomers and older generations can't stand them here. My parents got fucking mad when they first implanted them back in the 2000's and it would only be like 1 or 2 installed in a store. I think some would even try to break them because there were always 1 out of order despite not being used much. Self checkout is basically a shame section because you get the dirtiest look if you ever use them.

Do you know WHY drastic measures like this had to be taken? Because cniles just could NOT stop writing vulnerable code. 60 years of the language and its subsets and they still couldn't figure it out, so something had to change and it's clear the cnile engineers weren't getting any better. Literally reaping what they sowed.

ASN.1, PKCS#1, PKCS#8, SPKI, PEM, are all their own thing instead of maid_serial parts
maid_keygen is now part of maid_rsa, and supports arbitrary exponents
maid sign now take PKCS#1 DER instead of PEM
maid info temporarily removed

Now it's much easier to add asymmetric encryption algorithm

>>106518475
>Should have been the default.
yeah, it should have been, but it was made in a time when that assumption could not safely be made so it wasn't until c99

>That doesn't solve anything with build system mess
it solves a lot of it, actually. if you don't need metaprogramming, or external build tools to generate things the final compilation depends on, you can turn the entire project into a single compilation unit, which effectively eliminates the need for build tools like cmake or meson in the first place

>no, how is that simple?
because it also completely eliminates external c build tools as a dependency leaving the only real dependency as the C compiler you need to compiler the code in the first place?

>the biggest pain is trying to use projects that are designed for different build systems as dependencies.
the problem isn't just build systems, it is external dependencies in general. that's really the fault of the developer introducing the complexity of managing additional dependencies and then offloading that complexity on to the end user, but that's a general problem, not just a C one.

>>106518711
>Go will replace C++/Java
lol, Go will replace C++ how? OSDev and bare metal applications won't touch it and gamedev is practically nonexistent. This is pretty much due to how Go's FFI support is terrible.
Java? Maybe. Go could take over Java's share of server applications, but I doubt it will ever take over GUI and Android app development.
>Rust is too hard and too long to learn for normies.
Eh, maybe, but most low-level C++ development is too hard for normies as well.
I could see Rust overtaking C++ in a decade or two (it is already garnering interest at major companies), just because of the tooling (yeah, the memory safety is neat, but who cares when you can wrap everything in shared pointers lol).

>>106516174
Straw man. You only think you need these.

>>106518816
>yeah, it should have been, but it was made in a time when that assumption could not safely be made so it wasn't until c99
It could have: just reverse the way things are done so you write typedefs for different systems using macros if you need it, instead of stdint where it sets typedefs based on the system to be the correct size.

>because it also completely eliminates external c build tools as a dependency leaving the only real dependency as the C compiler you need to compiler the code in the first place?
Surely there's a better solution than writing your own program for building your project?

>the problem isn't just build systems, it is external dependencies in general
Whut? You expect me to avoid external dependencies? Ah, let me just rewrite a hardware accelerated JPEG compressor from scratch.

Meanwhile, I can just call `cargo add turbojpeg` and have it ready to use right away (still needs CMake, a C compiler, and NASM installed, but there's no other setup involved; or I can just add a pure Rust crate like zune-jpeg).

>>106518977
>Surely there's a better solution than writing your own program for building your project?
Sure, but not for something as ancient as C. Odin and Jai eliminate the need for build systems entirely.

>Whut? You expect me to avoid external dependencies?
No, but I do expect you to take them more seriously when you add them to a project and do the work to include them from source directly when possible, bundle the source with the project and statically compile your project with them because the dependency hell we have now is nigger AIDS. If I need a docker container to build your shitty software, it's because you're a nigger.

>Meanwhile, I can just call `cargo add turbojpeg`
Yeah, I'm sure that'll still work in 20, 10 or even 3 years. This is why software sucks and you're too stupid to even realize it.

rolling release distros like arch are going to be your best bet for brand-new hardware support. i've been using arch since i got my 9070XT, never had any issues. arch derivatives like cachy are probably fine too, you can also consider openSUSE tumbleweed.

>>106518953
What annoys me about Tumbleweed is the patents autism forcing you to use Packman's repo for codecs (codecs that affect things like thumbnails' generation from your file manager so you can't just use Flatpaks for everything). It desyncs every so often, sometimes twice a week, forcing you to wait until they fix it. Snapper allows you to rollback updates, but is annoying.

nixos or debian + podman for my home server? need to run nextcloud and jellyfin specifically.
trying to keep it simple stupid because it's just those two applications and i'm the only user.
at first i thought setup debian and nginx, then use podman over docker. but looking at the nixos docs this doesn't seem too hard? do a minimal install then add a block of code to my config for each service? i mean if i do anything wrong in that case i can just rebuild right?
