    The thing that I find annoying is all the news that just gets reposted here. I come here to find interesting sites or conversation about subjects, but in the last year there is just a ton of news reposting. I wish people would post more interesting stuff. The other frustrating thing is that many of the new sites are behind pay walls.

    If this is what companies are going to do with AI, then we need to start our own companies and worker cooperatives, to avoid being exploited.

    make sure you pick a monitor that goes in 60hz increments. 60, 120, 240, 480. Otherwise you will have issues with video.

    I watched the interview by Matt regarding the situation between WP and WP engine. It sounds to me like WP engine just wants everything for free and doesn’t wanna contribute back to the community personally I think that sucks and WP engine should step up and Support WP it cost money to host and access API if WP engine doesn’t wanna do that then they could just host their own repositories. I think Matt has taken the right action to protect WP from being taken advantage of.

    I would, except Kubuntu doesn't use the latest KDE 6 which works better in my experience. Come October I think that will change With the new 24.10 release of Kubuntu.

    The file save dialog image is not fixed. I tried distros with the lastest Gnome 40 and it still doesnt show a thumbnail image. How I test is take the browser and save an image. Then go save another image in the same folder and the previous image you saved does not have a preview. But this does work in KDE. If this works for you what distro are you using?

    KDE notifications on taskbar icons show the background filling when downloading files, numbers showing how many emails and Spotify media controls on the taskbar icon like Windows and Mac.
