My experience is aligned with this. I’ve barely had any issues at all, especially in the 6.x cycle.
There was one pretty annoying panel bug, which was caused by Nvidia, but i’ve sent them reports, and they fixed it in the next driver release. The other one is a thirdparty addon, where under a certain setting combination, your shell would occasionally restart, but again that’s not a Plasma bug
For nix-darwin specifically, the cleaned up build process, and SDK packaging is nice. It hasn’t eliminated all the issues, but a lot of those are less of a fault of Nix, and more an issue with macOS design. Hoping they can be addressed somehow, but for now, the issues with workarounds are tracked.
And just in general, Python has kind of been a pain in the ass to understand, so any improvement is exciting, as i’m still learning how things work here.
A bunch of packages I want got officially merged or updated during this release cycle too, and as much as I appreciate thirdparty flakes, I don’t want to rely on them too much
Been a very exciting release.
The nix-darwin upgrades come along right as i migrated my Mac to Nix, but even outside of that, all the package and module merges are always welcome. All my machines run Nix now, so the less work I have to do manually, the better
I dont know why this is controversial. I’m way more happy with 4x USB-C, than 5 unique ports, that will likely never be used on a regular basis, even when they were relevant
Valve already use CEF extensively in their client
With all due respect for Valve, they don’t need this. They exist in their niche, and they’re exceptionally good at doing their work
I just want to use my local library in peace
Can’t wait for this to be thrown out of court. No one is forced to buy anything on his neo-nazi platform

So pretty much everyone, who’s already got a reputation for being shit, or has fallen from grace completely, has returned. No surprises there
Very important distinction. I’ve deleted the apps long before, thinking i’d keep the account to occasionally look at someone’s feed. When they publicly reinstated neonazi accounts, it was the last drop in the ocean
Very well said
When will the AI slop end?
Most of common information is usually wrong. When programmers gaslight themselves into using it, the code is almost always wrong. Artists are all pissed, because both Nvidia and "Open"AI trained their data on hundreds of terabytes of stolen data too.
The only ones still satisfied with this, are the top 0.01% billionaires, who continue selling these products to companies, who in turn buy this only because of peer pressure
My point exactly. The brightness is great, when it works in your favor. But when a modern car sits at such a height, where the low-beams shine directly over the top of my car, it’s obnoxious
I’d love to do the same with mine, but admittedly, the hardware in it is so poor, that they just couldn’t get it to work properly.
It’s quite frustrating too, because despite being a relatively new router, they’re already behind on security updates, and after all the promises, still haven’t delivered the bare necessities as WPA3 support
Just imagine if that money went towards improvements in society, instead of a pump and dump scheme for the top 0.01%
I had no idea they even have this kind of money today. Was interesting to browse through the history for a bit
The last few generations were plagued not only by heat output issues, poor pricing, and underwhelming performance in all but gaming, but also suffered irreparable manufacturing defects. The new lineup is essentially more of the same.
I always try to buy the better product, when given a choice, and it’ll take a lot of convincing me to consider this
That’s current Verge for you. It only got worse since then
