It’s not just that people are “perverts”, it’s that they’re wearing a camera on their face constantly filming people who have a reasonable expectation to privacy. Even in public most countries would protect that expectation in a lot of cases.

So unless somebody wants to be violently assaulted and their glasses ripped and smashed off their face, then it might be best to not buy them at all, or only wear them in private.

I will happy when this bubble bursts. OpenAI, Grok and several other companies offer nothing substantive and if they’re burning cash and disrupting economies then just die already.

Satellite internet is a last resort. People shouldn’t be using it if they have fibre broadband or 5G options that provide the same speeds. It’s a lifesaver if you’re on a boat, or live off grid, or just a few miles from where the broadband ends. But if it’s anywhere with other people then it’s going to max out with horrible contention. At the point the only option is “moar satellites”.

The best I can say about KDE is they’re not as bad as they once were. But even today the KDE human interface guidelines essentially say “do not hide options or move them to advanced dialogs”. It’s no wonder that KDE Plasma is dogshit from a usability standpoint even when it mimics Windows. There is nobody at the wheel controlling it and it shows.

Microsoft put their software in front of people who want to use it to do stuff. They ask them to copy a file, launch a program, select something and copy/paste etc. and they observe their reactions, how long it takes them to find & do the thing. Then they focus on where the people had issues and try to simplify the flow, rinse and repeat.

I would never say Microsoft puts in as much effort to UX as Apple, they still put a fuck tonne more in than any Linux dist. Even GNOME. And the KDE desktop is a dog’s dinner despite basically copying Windows and trying to play the same tune without understanding the notes.

As much as people hate on Windows, Microsoft very clearly put their software in front of people to learn where the pain points are and fix them. Maybe Linux desktops should do likewise because some of them are a usability joke and it hurts uptake. I was playing around with Ubuntu 26.x with KDE last night and there is so much noise and grit in the UI I wonder what is going on with it.

I’d prefer it over whatever that thing is. I assume that’s a concept car because it wouldn’t survive a single trip on a public road.

I don’t think the car looks bad at all. The outside is a little bland tbf but it’s not ugly. I think the interior is incredibly tactile and well thought out. I think when we see people tearing around tracks that preorders are going to be extremely strong

No but the people using GrapheneOS by and large are.
