I'm really interested. I've never gotten into the way KDE does things, so I've always stuck to gnome, but I'm always happy to see development and diversity in FOS Software. I'll definitely check out some videos about it

I thought about that for a while, but I think it's not that. At least not entirely. Probably some kind of non conforming fluidity kind of deal

My GF and I are generally not that into shopping, but if we do I enjoy it. I like to suggest clothes for her, though she usually goes for safer options than what I suggest. We are somewhat similar types, so it's mostly what I would wear if I was a woman.

Oof. An always online terminal with an AI that does who knows what with the things you type? I don't think so.

Also, Open Sourcing the client but not the server seems like marketing at best.

A quick Wikipedia also says that they basically run on investor money. Including Sam Altman and Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn who had three massive data breaches in as many years.

That's a hard pass for me.

It does look beautiful though

And if not illegal, definitely unethical

Yes, of course. But afaik the idea of flatpak is, that every program has a list of libraries and versions of them that it wants. So when program X was built with libfoo version 1 and program Y needs libfoo version 2, you basically download the library twice.

When you go through the package manager, you just download the current version that's in the repository. This can lead to problems when a program expects some functionality that has since been deprecated, but I never actually had issues with that.

Also, a lot of the libraries a flatpak downloads are already installed on the system, just in a different version, I noticed.

I'm on a home computer that I use by myself, mind you. So if something breaks, it's just my own problem. If I were to use software in production or even just administer the computer of a tech-unsavy relative, I'd likely use flatpaks or similar for stability and security reasons.

I've used flatpak for a while because it's the default ob Fedoras GUI Software Center, but I've recently switched back to dnf and native packages where I can.

The thing is, that I have a shitty 500GB SSD with a shitty 50Mbit Internet connection (which is closer to 30Mbit because my house still has lead cables instead of copper). So downloading 300+ MB of libraries for a 2MB Program is just not feasible for me.

I'm using chrome on phone, because it's basically part of the operating system, but I did like Fennec. It's a fork of Firefox mobile with a few more privacy features (or so they advertise)

This is the way.

I'm very much out of the loop actually, but the meme mentions Loli porn. So I assumed the question was about that.

Also, I think somewhere in this thread someone posted a link to screenshots of the whole ordeal, and there is a drawing of a very young person fellating a horse.

Many people find sexualized depictions of minors reprehensible. Regardless of whether or not they are illustrations or photographs.

Another argument I have heard is that people who consume loli might someday not be satisfied with drawings and escalate their consumption to photography or even try to act out their fantasies with real children.

Also, lolicon is outlawed in many jurisdictions (or at least a grey area) since it might fall under cp laws.

Personally I am suspicious of any "slippery slope" argument, but this topic is definitely not something I want to take a strong stance on.

I don't want to be too "we live in a society" but I noticed that - since I'm a man / was a boy - people in care giving roles usually assumed I want to prove myself. Because All Boys™ want to prove themselves all of the time. So it's good to be as adversarial as possible, actually. To grow their character.

Regarding her generation and type of character, I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that she thought she was actually doing me a favor. Also she co-taught our class with another teacher who quite openly disliked boys in general and me in particular. Which was probably also a factor.
