Also note that even a dual boot system is leaky. A kernel level anticheat has enough power to do firmware upgrades on peripherals or the UEFI, so a badly behaving kernel level anticheat could easily take over your entire system in a way that can never be gotten rid of.

So how do you juggle having to see dozens of windows at the same time then?

[–] justJanne@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm a software dev as well.

But I often layer multiple windows in the same tile of the screen. e.g. I may have the IDE with the software I'm working on in one tile, the IDE with the library source code I'm working with in the second tile, and a live build of the app in the third tile. But I've also got documentation, as a website, in the same tile as the IDE with the lib's source.

Now when I switch between the IDE with the lib's source, and the browser with the lib's documentation, I only want that tile to change. No problem, with KDEs taskbar and window switcher I can quickly do that.

But when using the applications menu on Gnome I get a disrupting UI across all screens that immediately rips me out of whatever I was doing.

Why'd you have to use TC? KDEs dolphin can do all that natively.

Personally, configuring KDE was much simpler and more robust compared to the dozen addons I needed for Gnome, which also broke every now and then after updates.

I tried that, but IMO it's much simpler and more robust to just configure KDE than to install a dozen Gnome extensions that end up broken after updates anyway.

Unless you're writing ruby on rails on a 13" macbook, you'll run into Gnome's limitations when working.

Gnome is in many ways so focused that it makes a lot of productivity use impossible. You always have to open the menu to launch software, you've got no system tray, and worst of all, Gnome apps are so simplified that you constantly run into the limitations when using it productively.

When working with dozens of windows open at the same time across multiple monitors, I'm a fan of KDE. And KDE apps tend to also have all the extra features I need to handle weird situations, files, and edge cases.

The 50€ Patreon tier perks include "everything ad-free". And there's no repo or source available anywhere.

WTF

If you can only have a good experience by installing malware, you don't have a good experience.

I really should finish building that nvidia jetson based hardware anticheat that'd allow anyone to cheat even in vanguard protected games with perfect accuracy for just ~150$. Ring 0 anticheat's only use is to spy on you and yet people will continue defending it until someone's proven just how useless it is.

The 5th booster brought my sense of smell back for a month, but it quickly disappeared again :/

Just go ahead with the tutorial. Kotlin is basically identical to Java with only tiny changes, and you can just look those up whenever you see something new.

You're conflating two different things. Law is political, and that's fine. Court rulings are not supposed to be political, though, they're supposed to be based solely on the rule of law. That's the only way to ensure the law applies equally to everyone, rich or poor alike.

I agree that voting/non-voting shares are bullshit, but so are shares held by anyone but the workers themselves (which would be a co-op).
