Ronda Rousey finally apologizes for her now 11 year old tweet about Sandy Hook.
  • It's a pity she had to see her income go down to muster an apology. Regardless, it seems genuine - the general disregard for paragraphs (as well as avoiding a line of separation when we venture with one) being the dead giveaway here.

  • Linux desktop market share climbs to 4.45%
  • Has anyone ever tried to carry out a stochastic analysis of the data? I'd never thought about it, but the webpage's way of representing the data makes it seem like we're watching the stock market.

  • Celebrating 6 years since Valve announced Steam Play Proton for Linux
  • It would change the landscape of Linux gaming completely.

    I myself cannot afford to lose some FPS (as in most games I can barely hit 30), but I cannot wait for the moment I can buy a gaming device and enjoy all these goodies!

  • Would you buy an affordable EV made in China?
  • Without missing a heartbeat. Cars made in China tend to have extremely cool gadgets you never see in European cars. Be it front, back, lateral facing cameras or any other type of sensors. They've got so many cool stuff we're just missing out on, man.

  • European Commission cuts funding support for Free Software projects
  • As long as public money -> public code, this could potentially be a net positive for stopping predatory AI practices from Microsoft and buddies. Still, taking away funding from other projects could also be catastrophic for everything else.

  • What was the worst band or singer you’ve ever listened to?
  • Pink Floyd is underwhelming for a band commonly labelled as "prog rock". Most of their stuff is forgettable, albeit Alan Parsons Project came off it, so I guess it's not irredeemable if it inspired something genuinely good.

  • What's your favorite band's best album?
  • I was definitely not expecting to see ELO as the very, very first result here but I'm pleasantly surprised.

    Much like the other commenter, I'd also add that Eldorado is definitely a strong contender for their best album - arguably for the fact that I've never ever listened to an album that came anywhere close to it.

    Finally, I'd throw in Discovery + ELO's side of Xanadu, just for the mere fact that it's their work featuring not a single weak track, all of them being single worthy and massive hits around the world.

  • Privacy in academia?

    Hi everyone,

    I've been checking this forum but I have not managed to find duplicates (I'm using Summit for Lemmy). If that's the case I'll remove this post.

    I'm about to start a PhD. I've been told I will be required to partake in publications and other shenanigans. I am not against it, but I'm very concerned about having my full name flying around the internet, as I've always been hesitant of sharing any of that information (real name, pictures, etc).

    Ultimately, I only care for potential employers to know that it's actually me the one who has written this or that, which I would happily disclose in private.

    What's the usual stance in this situation?

    KRunner vs Application Launcher (use cases?)

    Lately, I found out that Application Launcher also features all the functionality I use from KRunner.

    In my particular experience, Application Launcher is snappier at first launch and also returns results rather quickly. For me, this begs an obvious question.

    What's the use case for using KRunner over the Application Launcher?

    So far I've noticed that pressing Enter on the Calculator results makes the entry be copied on KRunner, but this does not happen for the Application Launcher. I'm certain there must be something else to it, otherwise people would not be using it (even I found myself using it from time to time, but could not understand why).
