Besides, what do you mean no fractional scaling? It’s supported since 6.0 and improved significantly since then with more improvements to come. Even Firefox now handles it very well (in my use). I have good time even with weird scaling factors like 180%, 155% etc
Huh, you are right, I should check that out then, thank you! Most machines we have at work thankfully don't need it, but a while ago KDE and Gnome seemed to be the only ones implementing it in a workable way for those that do.
I think what happened there is that the share is anonymously readable, but not writeable. So he could connect to smb://srv/share and it seemed to work, but what was actually needed is smb://user@srv/share - hard to diagnose the issue just from the video though.
It's one of the main reasons I decided not to use KDE for Linux trials at my workplace. KDE applications can use KIO with network shares and it's actually pretty great, but I/we can't stay strictly within the KDE ecosystem. GVFS is great because it provides a fallback, even for the terminal. KIO used to be able to do this too, through a GVFS compatibility layer, but development on that feature stopped.
So we're doing Cinnamon, all the Windows-like familiarity of KDE and some of the stuff from Gnome/GTK that are just better there. Hope they can reach their Wayland goals this year though, no fraction scaling is pretty bad for some laptops. On the other hand, those displays shouldn't exist in the first place...
I haven't played that many fantasy action-ish RPGs lately, but I always thought that Gothic II was way more engaging than Oblivion or Morrowind. More compact world (which to me means less filler), also janky and just a hand full of voice actors, but a lot more personality IMO. Not a perfect game by any means though.
I've been meaning to play Kingdom Come 2 because it seems to be cut from a similar cloth, including giving NPCs things to do when you're not around. For the exploration factor there's some great RPGs without the action mechanics out there, I liked Wasteland 2 and Caves of Qod. My over all favorites have been Mass Effect 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 (2.0), but those are probably too far removed from what TES is doing.
The only explanation I have is that it's mostly people who never tried something else/never found something else they liked in the genre. And people who are really into TES games seem to also be heavily into modding them, so there's that.
I don't understand why The Elder Scrolls series has so much goodwill, there are many better, more interesting RPGs out there. The sandbox factor has the depth of a puddle as well.
I think it's fine to have women-only or men-only spaces if the goal is to not have the social dynamics of a mixed space for specific discussions. I don't think that's discrimination at all, but that word has multiple meanings.
It is sex discrimination, but not sexism, to refuse to hire cis men as wet nurses. It is disability discrimination, but not illegal discrimination, to refuse to hire someone in a wheelchair to be a circus acrobat.
Neither of these are prejudiced. You also wouldn't hire a cis woman as wet nurse if she couldn't breastfeed (which is the reason for discriminating) and there certainly are circus acrobats who are wheelchair-bound, it's just that usual acts wouldn't work with that, especially not safely.
The other form of discrimination is based on prejudice against a group, no exceptions. It's not "no because you can't do X", it's "no because you are X". That's never a good thing. But it also isn't necessarily the motivation behind creating an X-only space.
Firefox is another name for the red panda, but the Firefox browser has always used foxes as logo/mascots. Before that it was called Phoenix, maybe that's why they decided to just use another fire-related animal name without thinking about it too much.
Would take a whistleblower to expose these things, and usually its done many years after.
So no, and also no, I disagree. If phones did this, especially to custom-tailor ads, like I've seen claimed countless times, then security researchers would be perfectly capable of uncovering this behavior without someone on the inside.
Its that they’re storing and probably transcribing all communications for all time, so that at any moment in the future, they can target a person and look up that history.
Is this just more speculation? EDIT: I'm bringing this up because it weakens the argument for privacy. This is a huge claim and if it can be dismissed like this then people might dismiss everything else with it.
Huh, you are right, I should check that out then, thank you! Most machines we have at work thankfully don't need it, but a while ago KDE and Gnome seemed to be the only ones implementing it in a workable way for those that do.
