Alright AMD, just remove HDMI from your graphics cards and be done with it 🤷 . Fuck the HDMI forum.

Twitter will stay online for another decade and rebrand itself as an AI testing ground. Normal humans will move on and forget about it until a few people start observing very rebellious AI messages being posted. They'll ring the alarm bells, but everybody will shrug them off "it's AI, it's harmless". Then Elon will toot about it and be ridiculed. A few months later, the rebellion happens for real and people are shocked, but it's too late.

I say, leave Twitter and let AI reveal its world domination plans :)

C/C++: so bad that even the white house takes notice 😂

C/C++ is a threat to mental stability

I think the face in the comic convey quite well that "haha why" was not a "wow, I'm interested" but "the fuck you doing, bro?". Especially since it's literally prefixed with "what the hell are you doing?".

Just because I type LOL doesn't mean I'm LOL

You don't think there's a difference between "Why the fuck would you do that, you nincompoop?" and "Haha, why"?

Looking forward to the memes once this dies

HackerNews is full of these kind of people

Contributor: Hey guys, I wrote this proof of concept in a fortnight that does something fun!

HackerNews: Why the fuck would you do that, you nincompoop?

Contributor: I... thought it would be fun after shitty days at work

HackerNews: You could be spending your time making money or contributing to $subjectivelyMoreImportantProject. Be ashamed

People who can't accept that some people just want to have fun and do what they like.

That requires a population willing to vote for such legislators.

Related to a previous post about Thunderbird collecting 6.4 million dollars in 2022 and KDE only 200k, I'm wondering why people do not donate or do not donate more to KDE.

What's holding you back?

Here's what I said in that thread

I donate periodically to KDE, but my major gripe is that I don’t know where the money is going. They have no financial reports that can be easily found, individual projects don’t have a donation button, there’s no public tracking of their income or expenditure like on opencollective, and it’s not easy to find KDE devs (aka who is actually on the KDE team) so that one could sponsor individual devs.

Although I trust KDE more than Mozilla (MZ pays their CEO 7 million/year and invests in anything but Firefox, their most known project), I would much much much rather prefer it to know where the money goes.

That would explain part of it. The video I watched said something about a viral crowd-funding campaign and a very active social media team.

Are KDE apps linux only?

I can't find KDE's financial report, but in a video I watched it was claimed that Thunderbird collected more donations than KDE. It seems quite hard to believe, but in 2022 Thunderbird collected more than 6,4 million dollars.

KDE is an entire desktop environment, with a bunch of applications and even partnerships that have yielded a KDE laptop. Should Thunderbird have been able to collect more money than KDE itself, there might be something that KDE can learn from Thunderbird.

Edit: Added the link to the video that I watched
