Thank you KDE developers, you're the best! Thank you for all your hard work.

Thanks also for making the KDE community the most friendly and welcoming.

Plasma 5 has been a joy to use for the last 10 years and I'm sure Plasma 6 will be even better!

I've a similar setup as yours (https://i.imgur.com/D3McL6m.png).

You're wasting a bit of vertical space though with that empty titlebar. I turn off the titlebar for all windows in KDE Plasma and add this (https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons) applet to the panel.

I agree with you on this 100%.

Have you seen Android 12's new fisher-price UI? I would really love to hear your thoughts on this video:

Agreed. I thought that was meant as sarcasm at first, but apparently not. I'm shocked that is the top comment.

Just listened to one of the episodes. Sounds decent. I personally think it would sound a lot better if you slowed down the speed a little bit. 0.75x sounded much better to me.

> Please don't ask people to run non-free software to participate in your open source community.

Doesn't that imply the end of all macOS related projects? Not that I'm complaining, I'm actually very surprised by the amount of effort individuals put in to open source efforts (such as homebrew) to support a proprietary closed platform like macOS.

I didn't play around with it much. It might have the issues you're facing.

You can do this right now on android. If you're using chrome/chromium based browser, just visit vscode.dev and then select add to home screen from the browser menu. A similar option exists in firefox on android too, I believe.

Once you open the shortcut created from the previous step, it will open the webapp without the browser's UI.

LineageOS's default phone app supports call recording out of the box. I'm using LineageOS 18. I don't know if this is true for earlier versions.

I must be missing something, but can someone explain what's the point of a hardware wallet? Why not just use a password manager?

Hardware wallets seem to have so many downsides, as far as I can understand.

You can keep multiple copies of your password manager's database (something like a kbdx file), but you won't have multiple copies of the hardware wallet. Therefore a single point of failure. If the wallet is stolen, damaged in a house fire, crushed by some accident etc. you're done. Also, can't the firmware of the hardware wallet possibly have some unknown bugs that might cause some failure in the future? Is the hardware failure-proof? No possibility of manufacturing defect etc.?

Secondly you've to buy a hardware wallet and whatever the cost, it's not free. Whereas an open source password manager like keepass is completely free (as in freedom as well as beer).

> A few years ago it'd be the place to go for in-depth yet concise explanations from experts in all different kinds of fields, and for some very interesting perspectives on different subjects.

If by "a few years" you mean "a decade", then yes. Quora went down the drain between 2012-2013.

It's better to give the other person the benefit of doubt, and in case of confusion to ask for clarification rather than making the more uncharitable interpretation of the possible interpretations and thereby questioning the morality of the other person.

This is exactly what F. A. Hayek warned us about in his book The Road to Serfdom.

Could you explain that a bit more?
