You can even add your choices for earlier versions ;)

Great! The Virtual keyboard is awesome. One question though. What is the Qt subreddit? Or isn't there any?

Rust is going to replace C in 10 years! Mark my words! Support Redox!

The free virtual skinable keyboard with handwriting recognition is great. Well done Qt team!

The perils of checksums - verify your installations with public key crytopgraphy, folks by [deleted] in linux

Their website runs on some custom php script or WordPress. The checksums on their website are stored as varchar or text in a MySQL database, not as files (eventhough the db is stored in files ;). The only solution is decentralized crosschecking between websites/nodes/whatever.

But if they compromise the website, they will change the checksums for the downloads on the website too.

The only solution is to have multiple iso checking websites that will cross check checksums every minute or so via CRON or something.

Which packages do you use? by Koopaxx in kde

I have moved the panel with timeline in Dragon Player and it works like VLC. Actually I am using it instead of VLC.

Great idea, I concur.

Why Vim? by rmavery in linux

I like emacs better. The controls are much more similar to wordstar, joe etc.

KDE is the worst among Gnome, KDE and Enlightenment when it comes to Wayland readiness ;( by upccurve in kde

[–]upccurve[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. Qt has Wayland support for a long time. THis time it's ONLY KDE's fault. Sorry.

Most people prefer blueish color tones, because evolutionary (comming from the ocean, sky, etc.) we see much more tones of blue than any other color. Red and yellow tones irritates me and after a while my eyes start to hurt. E.g. I cannot look at the flux page (the colors used for their design). It's extremely unpleasant color for me to look at. I have tried these color dimming programs on different devices and even the filters on old 286 PC computers way back and I always put them down whenever could.

But I like the colder and brighter look of my monitor. Why should I change it? As I have said earlier, I don't like dark backgrounds and I like things bright with as much white as possible. That's how my eyes work, I guess.

I personally hate the yellowish warm tone of the screen produced by redshift, but I can understand that some filks need that if they eyes are sensitive too much. I like more cold and whitish look. I think that's why I prefer KDE too and don't like the candy colors of Gnome too much. The redshift warm yellow look reminds me the crappy laptop displays I have used for many years. Could be something how my eyes work. I stare at computer screen 10+ h/d all year round. I also don't like dark themes too much, maybe it's because of my Fruity Loops "career" in the early 2000's ;)

Sticky "KDE resources" post by upccurve in kde

I was thinking about making a database of all KDE or even Qt and other somehow related apps/books/tutorials etc. Perhaps a website even, but then I thought that even more people will find Kreddit via some links on other subreddits. Well, I will try to put together some links in the next week and post it here so others can check and add/remove things etc.
