KDE stuff is prone to fixing bugs in both the supporting libraries and software substantially after the versions that end up in stable distros eg n.0 sucks but n.4 ends up substantially improving the prior issues.
I would suggest a self contained version on stable distros or running on a rolling release whichever is practical.left to take advantage of said improvements.
I would also suggest that performance under Windows may be less tested. I personally wouldn't use it there.
People with legs are objectively superior to people born without legs. This doesn't imply those without have no value but it would be pretty silly to deliberately bring people into the world without legs if you could easily prevent or fix the problem
How do you know the one purple zebra wasn't just walking around in a way that meant they were always not where you were looking?
You can probabilistic say "it's extremely unlikely purple zebras exist" but you can never prove 100% they don't exist. And back to the real example, how can you prove there isn't a bug you just haven't found yet?
Analysis of Terri Schiavo's brain revealed that it was mush.
To put it more analytically
"She had developed hydrocephalus ex vacuo, a condition marked by enlarged ventricles filled with cerebrospinal fluid, because of this profound loss of cortical volume"
Half her brain was gone and it was the part we have identified as the seat of identity.
Her brain was so far gone that believing she still existed requires dualism.
Are you contending that she was simply medically dead?
Are you asserting that she wasn’t worth feeding, because her “identity” had been lost?
You are saying implicitly that Terri didn’t “exist” in some kind of philosophical framework? That is truly bizarre. What physician, judge, or pastor would claim that this person didn’t exist?
Do you even know what “dualism” is? Apparently not!
What are you really trying to prove with “analysis”?
Anything which supports multi-line input shouldn't submit on enter it should submit on button press so anyone can use it instantly without learning or remembering anything.
Then make it easier for users to learn that they can enter more quickly with control+enter which you can advertise via tooltip or adjacent text.
Better that 100% find it trivially usable even if only 75% learn they can do it faster
That isn’t workable for chat apps, at the very least on mobile. And that’s the most-used text entry interface that users nowadays grow up with. So I think you need to make an exception for such applications.
Mobile makes this much easier actually, send can be a different button on the UI than the newline button on the touch keyboard without having to teach this to users. That's exactly how my phone is currently configured at least.
I don’t understand what difference you are seeing. On the desktop you would have a UI button as well, and likewise a key on the keyboard.
The difference I’m referring to is that Ctrl+Enter is arguably acceptable on the desktop, but has no equivalent on touch keyboards on mobile.
Regarding the UI button, the way many people chat they would consider it too much friction to have to tap a button above the keyboard for every send — more friction than Ctrl+Enter is on the desktop,
No one uses the UI button to send a message on the desktop though. Everyone just presses Return to send, which is the most common need, and then once in a while realise they need to enter a newline without sending, for which there isn't a button so they need to learn how.
Mobile doesn't necessarily have this issue because it can show the send button and the newline button at the same time and they're equally accessible.
Regarding your edit:
> they would consider it too much friction to have to tap a button above the keyboard for every send
My finger travels almost the same distance from the home row to hit the send button above the upper right corner of the keyboard as the newline button on the lower right. I've been doing this for ages.
Actually, I do. Or at least I do in very similar situations where for some reason there is no keyboard shortcut to submit from the input field, so I press Tab (which moves the keyboard focus to the submit button next to the text field) and then press Return or Space to press the UI button.
Regarding on mobile, I’m familiar with chat apps that require a UI button press to send, and consider it unnecessary friction. It’s a larger mental leap to have to leave the keyboard.
> It’s a larger mental leap to have to leave the keyboard.
I find this interesting! I've never considered myself "leaving the keyboard" on the phone as if I were task switching. When I'm done typing I flow directly to the send button and let the keyboard go. The fact that the button is above the keyboard makes no difference to me as long as it stays accessible.
Technically you're right, because of your use of "only", but it is a fact that a minority of males reproduced, vs a majority of females, with historic ratios of 2:1 to 4:1.
The skew is weaker nowadays, but still more men are childless than women, and it is correlated with wealth to some extent.
Why do you think that we can define personhood without much understanding of the interior life of anything other than humans? Why do you think personhood is even required for murder? Does your pet have enough of whatever makes personhood important to qualify? How about the source of your blt?
Do you actually see construction workers being replaced? We need more stuff built than we have people or time. We have spent a century improving process and tools and if we 10 years from now could build 3 times as much with the same people we would find a use for them all.
We could probably grow a normal clone of you now and add the brain damage manually and have adult organs in 18 years. If you have 100B why would you not want to spend a trivial portion ensuring that you make it to 100 instead of 80 especially since this makes 200 or 2000 more likely.
