laying off the servo staff at least was a mistake

This is excellent news. I was always annoyed at the fact that Dolphin had to use its own thumbnailer API. Now apps can bundle one thumbnailer for their file formats that works with all file managers, which is great.

One thing that I always thought would be really interesting to see would be a Wine thumbnailer that would generate thumbnails using Windows thumbnails for Linux file managers. So for example installing Sketchup on Wine would give you skp thumbnails, since Sketchup is bundled with a Windows Explorer thumbnailer for those files. I know Wine already supports thumbnailer shell extensions in its built-in file manager, so it would just need to be able speak with Linux file managers.

Now I just hope to see something similar happen with service menus. Every file manager has its own unique format, but it's IMO the biggest obstacle to interoperability remaining with Linux file managers.

Really, it would work for one religion plus its derivatives.

This entire thing is just idealism vs pragmatism for the trillionth time. The idealists are mad because they think all ads are bad and we shouldn't try to work with advertisers in any capacity. They do not believe reducing the harmfulness of ads is a valid approach, because that would be an acknowledgement of ads. Common talking points there are about how this is technically working with advertisers and how the internet shouldn't have ads in the first place.

The pragmatics also think ads are bad, but believe that an Internet without ads is very unlikely to happen, so they believe attempting to reduce the harmfulness of ads is a valid approach. Common talking points there are about how this isn't giving advertisers anything they don't already have and about how this doesn't matter if you're using an adblocker.

Like all other debates of this type, this probably isn't ever going to be resolved to anyone's satisfaction and we've really just been seeing the same talking points over and over again since the beginning. So I hope y'all have fun duking it out, I don't think I'm gonna bother looking at these pointless PPA threads anymore.

There is no such thing as a fully uncontacted tribe. The term is used to refer to peoples that choose to remain in isolation. Therefore, "uncontacted" and "reclusive" can more or less be used interchangeably.

B was based on BCPL, which I assume is where the name came from.

But the actual A language would be APL, which stands for A Programming Language. It's a few years older than B and was pretty popular, so it could've influenced the name.

It would probably make more sense for "ADVANCE" to be "ADVANCED"

Yes you can. UI color is in Settings -> Window Color Scheme. Editor color is in Settings -> Editor Color Scheme. Both are editable separately.

If it is a royal we, then you are excluded from the conversation and the amount of Microsoft in your household is irrelevant.

 

FreeBSD has supported Plasma for a long time, but on OpenBSD, it's been a long time coming. I believe a KDE desktop hasn't been available on OpenBSD since Plasma 4, perhaps even KDE 3.
