Even has the signature “I’ve been working this job for 30 years” look.

[OP] accidentally untarred archive intended to be extracted in root directory, which among others included some files for /etc directory.

Yet more suggestions which you didn’t ask for:

1. GitNote might be up your alley. Its UI is not as slick as QuillPad, nor does it have as many features, but it does faithfully keep the folder structure.
   Somewhat of a deal-breaker for me personally: It can’t do reminders.

2. Embrace the chaos. 😅 I have a little program for managing my notes on desktop and it just dumps them all in one folder, too. If I need to find something again, I’ve got a little text search, which is basically the equivalent of grep -iR. I just make sure to mention enough keywords in each note, so that I can find it again.
   Personally, I much prefer this workflow, because you can start typing (and hitting Ctrl+S) and then later ensure that it has all the right metadata, rather than having to select a folder upfront where it will be saved.

I actually tried QuillPad not too long ago and couldn’t make it work for me, but being able to save as normal files seems to be a recent addition, so maybe that’s what I was missing.
I’ll probably try setting it up to work with my desktop note system then…

Well, Kate would be the obvious choice for KDE…

It’s the R programming language, typically used in statistics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)

Oh man, for some reason I thought the title was going to end with:

Of course, they’re just talking about offsetting the costs, not actually about reducing them. 🫠

To be honest, what I’m most mad about isn’t the typoes, it’s that someone generated this image and figured, yeah alright, that will clear things up.

On some level you want to believe that even if someone does not come up with a proper concept for a visualization, that they still check what the AI shat out, so that it’s at the very least not conceptually wrong and not confusing.

This image isn’t just shitty, it’s actively worse than having no visualization. They could’ve generated that, chuckled, and not used it. Just how do you blunder your perception check so badly that you decide to include it anyways?

Wow, it stole it badly enough that it might not count as copyright infringement in court, but it also stole it badly enough that it isn’t useful at all.

I admire your ability to interpret anything into this fucking picture…

Yeah, I’ve done that occasionally, too, but it adds a load of friction for moving windows between screens, in particular also when un-/replugging the screen, so it’s still painful enough that I don’t bother with a second screen.

I guess, it also plays a role that I do use lots of workspaces, so it’s 1) extra painful and 2) I don’t have as big of a need for a second screen, since I can just switch out what first screen displays very quickly.

I use one of these:

Oh boy, feature freeze for Ubuntu 26.04 is on Thursday. Hopefully, they still include this update.

My work laptop unfortunately comes with Kubuntu LTS and I desperately want the virtual-desktops-only-on-the-primary-screen feature on there. Currently, I’m the guy that actively disables all but one screen, because my workflow does not work at all with the secondary screen switching in sync with the primary screen.

I still wouldn’t assume it to actually go further than that. It’s a limitation of the EWMH standard, which is used for controlling the placement of windows.

I don’t have in-depth knowledge of the standard, but I assume, it can only represent 1 desktop as the active desktop and stuff like that.
Maybe you could try to be clever by e.g. always reporting the active desktop of the active screen and stuff like that, but yeah, no idea if you can do that for all aspects of the standard, and whether applications will still behave as expected.

It’s mentioned as the second point in “But that’s not all…”:

An optional new login manager for Plasma

Are you thinking of the volume icon in the systray? For that, it’s pretty standard that scrolling changes the volume, yeah. @muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works is talking about the volume of each individual application, though:

(I have hardly used Windows for the past decade, so no idea, if it has it.)

Yeah, a guy recently said that they’d jump into Mint and I could’ve said that I started on that, too (a fucking decade ago, apparently), but I was considering to tell them they could start with $BETTER_DISTRO right away for so long, that I didn’t end up saying much at all. 🫠

Ah, no worries! Taste is hard to describe. 🫠

I’m not saying, that the taste isn’t strong enough for me. I’m saying that it actively adds a taste, which I can best describe as “hollow”. Falafel or hummus with cumin tastes worse to me than without…

Yeah, I was thinking that recently when I realized I’ve known

for as long as I can remember.

I’ve also known

before I was even old enough to watch the movies, too.

I’m sure they’re cool movies, with lots of cultural relevance, but they’ve been spoiled in every possible way for me, specifically because the older generation loves them so much that they can’t shut up about them.

I can’t imagine the kids of today finding pogs particularly interesting, when they’ve got smartphones in their pockets. Maybe if you equip the pogs with an NFC chip that ties into some online game to give you monsters or items or such. But yeah, even that’s going to be a hard sell, unless the game happens to be Roblox or Fortnite.
