Out of curiosity Apple M1 Chips being ARM-based (I own a m1-powered laptop) I... honestly haven't really noticed any slow down while using ffmpeg but granted I don't do encoding/transcoding a whole lot and my usage of editors

I feel like if KDE really wanted to build hardware specifically for KDE then they would and SHOULD bring in Qt Developers (The QT Company) onboard for the best optimizations of the desktop environment....

I may or may not be super knowledgeable on the subject have the KDE Slimbook team considered going full with ARM chips instead of the x86_64 processors? I keep reading how ARM is more "efficient" and lower power consumption altoge

I'm not really surprised at all this is still an ongoing issue. And by far I think people that work on the so called Human Interface Guidelines need to get off whatever ideology/belief they fed themselves for the desktop environme

I'd lean that they are probably control freaks. But there's probably more to it than that and ultimately it seems it boils down to "I'm paying you to work thus it's my right to track your every movement" Years

Thanks, I've never checked out Babel. I will truly suggest that to my lead, seems something we can take advantage of.

I believe so. I don't make a big issue out of it... but anything carrying the word const I expect it to be fully read-only with no "buts" in between throughout the whole execution of the program. I guess if they used "re

That's amazing. I was just scratching my head about const when I read the article, "so what's the purpose if I can change the value... but I guess I can't re-assign the variable with a new value .... that's it?&quot

Yes. I'm fine with Namecheap taking the domain down. Handing information like that just because they ask for it? That's a huge no. Let them proceed through the legal channels to get that information.

It's.... a bit hard to define my current workspace. I do software development but a lot of that development is on legacy applications using some obscure API, perhaps a super old version of a known open source project that nobody uses a

Sadly.... this was my conclusion as well. I'd rather have an iPhone(which I do, an iPhone X) than actually get a Android device. This is the case of going with the lesser evil.... and there's no way in my mind that Apple would be

How is this different from any other company though? It happens a lot where I live. You either know the higher ups through some sort of connection(school, event, family, etc) became friends and that's it you landed on a nice position.

Then I have no idea what it was (phone brand), sorry. I just know with what I tried to troubleshoot. I'm not a fan of Alcatel.... or Blu. But translating what you just told me to not just my parents but all older folks is.... not an ea

I usually just download and self-host for this reason. A software should never rely or be dependent to content delivery networks/repositories like Google Fonts. There's nothing wrong with Google Fonts as a service and repository (

I think it was one of those cheap Alcatel phones with Android One. I don't remember well myself but I'm pretty sure it was Alcatel. I ended up helping him getting a LG G6 and for his usage it's more than enough power for him.

I'd say it heavily depends as well, a year ago my father had one of those phones featuring Android One and it wouldn't let you use it unless you connected to wi-fi and logged in to your account. It's bizarre that functionalit
