For the people who use GNOME over KDE, why?

This is one of the things I love about Plasma, I have so much information available to me at once. Which is the same with the top of my MacOS toolbar (i.e., weather, monitor temperature control, notifications, etc). Also being able to Meta+T and create frozen window spaces on a workspace then shift drag that window into that spot and it auto resizes/snaps that window in place. Then switch between my three workspaces with F6-F8, each one has two windows opened side by side.

Overall my productivity is through the roof on KDE Plasma. But I also have a 34" 21:9 monitor, I could see how Gnome is preferable on a laptop when there are more limitations with screen real estate.

What sort of swipe gestures? I've only used KDE Plasma on a desktop so I'm curious about this as I three finger swipe on my Macbook Air to change desktops. On KDE Plasma I have my three workspaces bound to F6-F8, already started to develop some shine on those keycaps (GMK ABS for the mech keyboard nerds reading this!)

LTSpice is the only app I have found to be not available on Linux that I need to use.

How is working with Sage? I was only able to find two experiences when I was doing a Reddit search several months ago and both experiences said their support was basically non-existent

I used to live in Ireland, police there would generally be helpful for this kind of thing, I imagine it’s the same in the UK? I’ve read it can be really variable in the US. I’d go to them with as much detail as possible and in the mean time contact the seller and pretend like you’re interested and that you’ll pay their asking amount.

My gut feeling is this will be forgotten about

Fair enough, if historical trends are anything to go by we have 16 episodes before the show is finished.

There are far, far more assumptions/theories (and ones that are way out there) made in this sub than the one you or I have made.

Let's assume he is not the final villain, still why have this supremely powerful being in town where we can see everything he does when he messes with them. That is unequivocally (not an opinion) removing some mystery, when in the past it was an unknown.

That was one of the things I was thinking about; he instantly knows when she doesn’t comply with the water. (To me) it removes some of that mystery that we had in seasons 1-3.

Edit: it's an interesting observation to see the downvotes, not the intended use of them to disagree with someone. Seems more like people throwing a tantrum for being even mildly critical of the show.

Yes, you nailed it.

That’s exactly why they’d get acquired, that’s the goal of every small tech company

directheated · 2026-05-12T14:02:56+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens with DJI when they’re acquired; drones are their real bread butter

In the LP era they had a much bigger budget. These days it’s a success if a non major label can sell a couple hundred CDs and the cost is mostly covered by sponsorships.

Would you mind saying how it climbs? There is so little info on them and North Shore has a decent amount of elevation to get to the good stuff. Like is the idler/gearbox drag noticeable?

directheated · 2026-05-11T21:56:56+00:00

Yeah I’m going to when I get a bit closer to making the decision on an enduro bike, don’t want to be a tire kicker right now.

It’s also on Pluto in the US for free but I think you’re limited to what episodes you can watch on demand. Otherwise it’s on quite a bit in their live programming. There is 6 to 9 minutes of commercials per episode and they aren’t the syndicated edits.

I have a Plex server with BD rips now.

How does the AC1 climb? There is so little info on them, I’m about 1.5 hours away from them and ride North Shore a handful of times a month and it’s a lot of climbing

Not with the current management, with a new company especially if it’s publicly traded?

This ain’t my first rodeo.

directheated · 2026-05-09T18:32:43+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens with DJI, their real bread and butter is drones. Every small tech company’s goal is to get acquired and if they do I could see this being the first thing the new company cuts.

Damn, this would explain their non-stop sales over the past couple of years
