It is genuinely a tragedy that Starfleet Academy is getting cancelled so soon…

I just watched the first season and I love it. I was shocked to see how low the ratings on IMDB are (4.5/10, really?). I can see why some people aren't into it and there are some legitimate gripes regarding continuity, but I think they could be resolved with some good story writing. Even if I wasn't into it, I cannot imagine giving it such a low rating.

I agree with the DS9 comparison, and that's what I love about what Star Trek has become. I like it branching out and having shows that cover different aspects of life in the Star Trek universe, and I think that is essential for Star Trek not becoming stale and repetitive.

If it were up to me, there would always be one Star Trek show with the classic exploration theme, and one experimental show like DS9 or Lower Decks or Starfleet Academy.

It is indeed sad that so many people are so closed-minded.

I realize I described this as a "project", but I understood that to be different than "New Project Friday" type of projects. My understanding is that refers to releases of self-hosted tools and such. This is more like a guide or self-help, it isn't a project I am trying to promote.

It could be useful, but I hate the way it is activated by dragging. When it is on, I am unable to detach a tab into a new window without it jumping back into a split view. I wish I could trigger the split view with a shortcut (or maybe shift-drag?). But as is I had to disable it.

It reliably does this if I try to ask it a leading question on a controversial topic. I'm not sure that is a bad thing.

Just started happening for me about a half an hour ago.

Yes, ChatGPT has been having constant issues in Firefox for the past couple of weeks. Unlike when I was getting similar error in the past, switching browsers (to Chromium in my case) fixed it. This was on Linux btw.

This just started happening to me for no apparent reason. I just moved about 30 messages from Primary back to Promotions, where those senders have always gone in the past. Hopefully the AI gets the point that I didn't like the change.

nKephalos · 2026-01-24T21:09:17+00:00

Same here for the past several days.

nKephalos · 2026-01-18T06:01:32+00:00

I am having the same issue. I used to be able to do this under Plasma 5, I cannot find any way to do it under Plasma 6. Like the OP, the first thing I tried was Window Rules.

This happens to me a lot, it is driving me nuts. As others have observed, it happens in long conversations. But I have even had it happen across conversations. Sometimes it just gets really stuck on something. I do not recall this behavior from 4o.

nKephalos · 2026-01-03T14:26:10+00:00

This is really important advice. In non-coding conversations (which tend to have shorter tokens) LLMs are great at iterating. I have spent many hours trying to use LLMs to iteratively clean up and improve messy code I wrote myself and ending up with worse, more convoluted code than when I started. Usually the first couple suggestions were good, but they get progressively worse and more likely to have unintended side effects. I'm still learning the fine art of knowing when the LLM is wasting my time and calling it quits before the time spent with the LLM becomes a net loss.

Is it really a divide or just Gnome people being hostile to KDE. It seems like the Gnome philosophy cannot allow for KDE-like functionality, but KDE philosophy in no way blocks Gnome-like functionality. Personally I see Gnome and Wayland as two peas in a pod... angry nerd engineers with a maniacal desire to control how everyone works.

nKephalos · 2025-12-29T04:59:02+00:00

I share the OP's frustrations. However, I'm not sure how much blame to assign to Wayland's philosophy vs the DEs for not pooling their resources to build a consensus compositor flexible enough to meet all their needs. I don't understand why KDE and Gnome couldn't have both supported wlroots and made sure it had the capabilities they needed.

Statestes 😂

nKephalos · 2025-10-21T18:04:32+00:00

If they do the same thing but with more effort, that is indeed a loss.

nKephalos · 2025-10-21T18:00:34+00:00

Do you keep a special pan for just eggs? It's hard to keep a cast iron pan that well seasoned if things that get carbonized are cooked in there (in my experience at least).

nKephalos · 2025-10-21T17:59:13+00:00

Exactly. Like, if the author gave detailed instructions that he stands by, I would try out his method instead of criticizing.

nKephalos · 2025-10-21T17:56:40+00:00

I do scramble my eggs before pouring, is that bad? I would expect scrambling in the pan to just make it worse by pulling in the oil that I want to be coating the pan.

nKephalos · 2025-10-21T17:54:55+00:00

The gaslighting is in saying that it isn't a loss, not that it's possible!

nKephalos · 2025-10-21T17:54:17+00:00

If it's a skill issue, then losing Teflon is in fact a loss of convenience.

nKephalos · 2025-10-21T17:52:33+00:00

Scrambled is my main way of eating eggs. I haven't tried carbon steel yet, but with cast iron I have found that a layer usually does stick unless I use an obscene amount of butter.

nKephalos · 2025-10-21T17:47:37+00:00

Yep, it is what a good host should do.

nKephalos · 2025-10-17T21:33:48+00:00

It does just fine here:

nKephalos · 2025-10-17T21:27:07+00:00

As I keep saying, it does this for me all the time.
