There's a lot of evidence showing that gambling as a child leads to gambling problems as an adult, and loot boxes are just gambling aimed to a large degree at children. Valve games are even worse for this because Steam trading allows 3

Any time I've tried an "abliterated" model, heretic or other, it has always damaged the capabilities of the original model and will still often refuse or produce garbage at a lot of "unsafe" requests.

Every piece of KDE software I've tried has been buggy to the point that it's now a red flag to me: Spectacle (silently failed to copy/paste), krunner (refused to close), SDDM (refused to login), Dolphin (ffmpegthumbnailer loo

I often see people lament the lack of popularity for D in comparison to Rust. I've always been curios about D as I like a lot of what Rust does, but never found the time to deep dive and would appreciate someone whetting my appetite. A

No, in the same way that I wouldn't cite Euler every time I used one of his theorems - because it's so well known that its history is well documented in countless places. However, if I was using a more recent/niche/unkno

HDR videos and games (both native and proton) work in both KDE and Gnome (and supposedly Sway and Hyprland, but I haven't tried either). I think support in KDE/Gnome landed in a stable release ~6 months ago. The HDR experience on
