  • Find’s aus utilitaristischer Sicht eigentlich auch ganz sinnvoll, weil einem die Stadt bei der Durchfahrt dadurch eher im Kopf bleibt, und es so mindestens auch zur Orientierung hilft.

    Aber manche der Skulpturen sind auch echt schräg. Habe schon öfter einfach nur irgendwelche verbogenen Bleche und verrostete Stahlträger gesehen, die so Mikado-artig zusammengeschweißt waren.
    Ist bestimmt extrem günstig, aber leider auch recht streitbar, ob das das Stadtbild aufwertet oder lieber den Schrottplatz zieren sollte.

    Fänd’s halt viel cooler, wenn es irgendwas aus der Stadthistorie ist, oder zumindest etwas, das man bei einer Wegbeschreibung benennen kann.








  • Yeah, and you don’t have to know which fork to choose. Only the compatible fork will show up in the search.

    (I was going to recommend that, but had something in the back of head, that you needed a manual step to enable the configuration. But I just saw that this is described in the Plasma 5 version, not the Plasma 6 fork, so I guess, it’s not necessary anymore…)



  • I believe, that’s something which became impossible with Wayland?

    But it wasn’t very good under X11 either. Even back then, it was much less clunky to use the various KWin scripts, which offer tiling. Well, and by now Plasma has built-in semi-automatic tiling, which those scripts basically just configure, so they do now feel quite smooth.






  • Yeah, I often hear that. A few years ago, I tried to get into Krusader, because I also liked some of the features it has, but after two weeks or so, I realized that I don’t use the file manager nearly often enough to make progress in learning a different workflow. 😅

    Well, and I also kind of had the problem that navigating into directories is quite fast on the terminal, especially with Fish shell, so I often do that there and then run open . to launch the GUI file manager for the thumbnails or dragging into other GUI applications.
    And that Frankenstein workflow is kind of diametrically opposed to dual-pane file managers, where you really need to navigate to different locations in the respective pane from within the file manager. 🫠




  • Yeah, one of the largest pieces of software humanity has created, next to Google Chrome and the Linux kernel, which are all around 30 million lines of code.

    To give a frame of reference: With a team of 5 full-time devs at my dayjob, we can dish out a codebase of about 20 thousand lines over the course of two years.

    A browser might be somewhat quicker to build, because the requirements are relatively clear at this point and you can start implementing many standards in parallel. But yeah, it’s still just an insane amount of code.
