24.04 won’t have Plasma 6, but 24.10 will. In other words, fall 2024.

Or you can use KDE Neon, which is basically Ubuntu LTS, but with the newest Plasma.

Your goal as a company is not to sell as many, but to make the greatest profit. So let’s say that the new market price is $3 000.

You’re the new company. Your supply is 20 000.

Do you

a) Sell fridges @ $2 950/each, undercutting competition while selling whole supply, because of demand being higher than your supply, making $59 000 000?

or

b) Sell fridges at a reasonable price of $400, selling the same amount, because your supply is limited anyway, making $8 000 000?

The company still has no incentive to go B route. They only need to undercut the competition, not make prices reasonable.

Free market self regulates, provided nothing artificially screws with supply and demand and there are competitors. Both scalping and price fixing screws with it. It is literally the cancer of free market, and people screwing with it call themselves “investors”, while actually destroying the economy.

It is the government’s responsibility to prevent those situations before they happen, otherwise these changes may be irreversible.

Btw. A situation like this was happening recently in the GPU market. Nvidia had a crazy high demand for their GPUs because companies invested in AI were going to buy these cards no matter the price. So they bumped the prices like crazy, and they were instantly sold out.

Meanwhile Nvidia’s competitor - AMD - didn’t have nearly as strong GPUs for Ai as Nvidia. Do you think AMD’s prices stayed the same? Nope. They bumped it just like Nvidia, barely undercutting them, because there was still demand, in fact growing demand, for GPUs for gaming, while AMD’s supply was obviously limited.

2 years later, lower demand, GPUs actually in stock, but prices are still fucked (though not as much) because people got used to it.

It’s free market exploitation. If you believe a free market can exist without regulations, you’re imbecile.

Just imagine: People need fridges. All fridge manufacturers agree to raise prices of a fridge by 2000%. So what, people are going to stop buying fridges? No - because they need them.

You would say: it’s a free market, some new manufacturer is going to offer fridges at regular prices. Well - no you dumb fuck. What’s the incentive for the new fridge manufacturer to sell at lower prices, when people are going to buy fridges anyway, because they need them? The answer is - none. It would be a dumb business decision, because your supply is limited, and you’re going to sell it at market price, because that item is essential.

So how does the economy even work if that’s possible? That’s right idiot - because it’s price fixing and it’s fucking illegal.

You mentioned you changed firewall rules for that device. Any chance you have set outbound rule instead of inbound rule?

Anyway, what’s the output of ip route?

Ah yes, perfect data format, where markup takes more space than the actual data.

Mainly GTG response time and latency. For watching movies it’s generally not a problem, but when it comes to playing games with a mouse, latency can be a huge issue, and bad GTG response time leads to smearing.

But yeah, 4x the price is ridiculous.

Am I too 1Gb/s fiber connected to understand that?

If you know how to use git, you will know how to use docker (provided you know what you want to do). They are completely different programs, yet you can quickly grasp the other instinctively.

Now, Photoshop and Blender - they are also different programs, but if you know Photoshop, you still need to relearn Blender’s interface completely.

This is why I prefer terminal programs in general. Unless it’s more convenient to use GUi, i.e. Drag&Drop file manager, some git tools etc.

General rule of thumb: Comments say why is it here, not what it does. Code itself should describe what it does.

English is not my first not language. When I write something down in my first language (polish), it feels more like I’m transcribing things I silently say to myself, while with english I’m actually thinking about every word I type.

The funny thing is, the better I am getting at English, making those types of mistakes is getting easier for me.

But idk, this is just my experience.

Because they learned that from hearing, not reading so that makes sense.

The way for your desktop to communicate with the hardware.

It used to be X11 - A server-client architecture, which meant your desktop was effectively just a client that told the server what to do. The server was the one doing the drawing

Wayland is just a protocol, defining how programs and desktop should communicate with each other - without a middleman that was X11 server. The desktop does the actual drawing here.

The main argument to use password managers to prevent password leaks to all of your services (that you use with the same login/email). You can’t trust any service to store your password securely, therefore you should use different ones everywhere.

Using a password manager gives you the convenience of using one, strong password that’s being used very securely, and mitigating risk of password leaks spreading further.

If you abstract it that way, it by no means eliminates the risk of someone breaking into your database, but makes it harder and from a single entry point, instead of any service that uses your password.

Plus many of those password managers give you an option to use YubiKey for additional security.

Oh and also you won’t ever need to press “forgot password” ever again due to the arbitrary requirements that your password doesn’t pass, so you modify it slightly so it would.

It’s a go to solution for scientific papers.

Ok, if I remember correctly, YouTube barely generates, but generates nonetheless revenue for Google. There are many ways to make more money without fucking over its users by cutting costs:

• downgrade old videos with small watch count to 720p30

• make people pay for hosting >1080p60 content

• do not allow private/unlisted videos

• straight up remove 10h looped videos - they take so much space, but are technically spam - both for bandwidth and storage

And my go-to solution: focus on sponsorships as main source of revenue. They are the only ads I can tolerate and are actually effective from my experience. YouTube can just take a cut from every sponsorship on YouTube video and everyone will be happy.

Not only OS - written using 3D APIs closed source available only for your OS.

Have an actual sane developer experience? There is a reason why almost every developer that uses Windows actually uses WSL.

I actually had to refactor configuration module some time ago. These really came in handy. But was it worth it? Well… it saved some time, the time that could be used to debug problems manually, but it made me a lot more confident that the functionality that worked before, worked after.

95%? More like 99.999%, considering how many Wordpress sites are there.

And in many of these 0.001% cases, simple horizontal scaling would do the trick.

And if you need more than that, just use something that can work on the edge.

Actually “natural” gets a pass from me. It doesn’t feel right just because we got used to the opposite.

Imagine a paper scroll on rolls. If you slide the top of the roll upwards - the paper goes up, and you can see more bottom content. The exact opposite happens when you scroll the mouse wheel with default config.
