My personal experience with GDM was full of issues with AMD GPU, crashes, inability to go back from sleep, etc. I moved to KDE (and SDDM) and all the issues were gone as well.

Make an album with the pics. Once that album is full, take a pic of the album and throw it away.

Ten years ago, an employer gave me a Windows desktop and I did my earnest to make it my work laptop. I think I gave up when I realized the OS didn’t allow me to use custom hotkeys and I “needed” a tool for it that will be running, capturing my keystrokes ;).

KDE is fantastic, not as lean as other desktops, but very stable and feels as premium as a MacOS equivalent, but way more customizable. It has the same pitfalls as Gnome, with some kwin scripts, widgets and extensions jeopardizing your stability and becoming memory hungry hippos, but also being harder to spot than their equivalent in Sway or others. But IMO it lacks the issues I faced with Gnome with each upgrade (I miss a stable PaperWM).

Critical thinking: We would be in a better world if more people were capable of it.

Those gummi bears are sus.

But why use many word when few do trick?

Scenario: I wanna land a sweet security job, but I don’t want to have to work for it.

Once zoomers can vote and Mr Beast gets elected, things will change.

There’s also a couple by Cory Doctorow that fit to the tee.

But, do you know who, allegedly, would never instigate an insurrection?

I didn’t realize it until now…

This sounds highly illegal.

Yet, so alluring.

The dog’s bollocks and the dog’s breakfast.

God-botherer is fantastic, clearly god has better things to do than to keep hearing their complaints.

Ah, the timeless war of the Welsh against vowels.

But the water recycler is borked!

Wow, pretty cool the tree and total size options, kind of substitutes other commands I commonly use.

Only thing is though I find it slower than du and tree.

The sound of a baby or toddler’s head against a wooden surface that would make me shudder.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to do. We saw this car with big puffs of thick dark smoke coming out of it by the road, we stopped and I went for the extinguisher in my trunk, tried to operate it (I was clueless). But when I reached the other car, in seconds just burst into flames on the inside and saw the driver burning so I went to open the handle and it was like trying to lift a frying pan out of an open fire (got a nasty burn for a while).

I felt powerless, useless, I could see the scene by just closing my eyes for months, remembering the sound of it and definitely the worst part was the smell. I often wonder what I should have done differently that could have helped that person (breaking the glass with the extinguisher, carrying and using a window breaking tool, forgetting about the extinguisher at all and just bolting straight to the car to take him out of it…)

The scenario will repeat at nauseam in my head every time I drive and see a stopped car or look at an extinguisher or someone mentions a fire or an accident.

Note: this happened a long ago with an old car, maybe cars nowadays aren’t as flammable.

Either when my first baby fell out of bed followed by a big clonk, or when I tried to get someone out of a car in flames.

My eldest is fine, that guy didn’t make it and I will never forget the smell.

I think that trying to predict what would have happened if the Tiananmen revolt had been successful would be going straight into alt-history, but for a brief moment there was a chance for a democratic China.
