I’m a monthly donor to KDE EV and to the Mozilla Foundation.

Because they’re doing it by mistake. They’re intending to register to vote as independent (no party aligned) voters, seeing “Independent” under party, and choosing that.

Yes.

Sorry, but I have no tolerance for intolerance /s

If people are frequently crossing between crosswalks, there probably aren’t enough crosswalks. If they’re pressing the buttons but crossing before the light changes, even if the buttons do cause the lights to change eventually they’re probably set up incorrectly and make wait times too long.

It took me 18 months of back and forth with my city to get them to fix a particular light. The beg buttons technically worked, but the light is where a major street intersects with a residential street, and all the beg buttons would do initially was make the pedestrian lights turn green the next time the lights changed. Problem was, if it didn’t detect a car there it would never trigger a change. What finally got it fixed was me sending the city council an 8 minute video of me waiting for the light to change before a car came along.

I would guess this is a matter of the media talking about all GNSS as “GPS” rather than the planes only supporting the US military’s navigation system.

Yeah, and when we find cases like this the best thing for the industry would be for a company or two who are very affected (e.g. Red Hat) to step up and offer a trustworthy person payment for maintaining it.

Until the user experience is not “spend hours on forums to find hacky fixes for things that just work on Linux” it’s gonna be a tough sell.

Why I personally can’t go back to Windows.

The trend definitely comes from the fact that new people get overwhelmed by cluttered user interfaces. But just having a clean initial screen doesn’t mean good UX. Good UX is the art of providing a clean, logical user interface that’s simple and efficient to use. Unfortunately, too many companies just go for minimalism and wind up with things both taking longer and ending up being harder to use.

Honestly, I’d rather have an ugly app with everything right there than the terrible UX trend that’s happening of everything being hidden behind 8-10 different menus just to make the home screen “clean”

The people being mocked are the ones who have made “gluten free” trendy and that labelling far less reliable for folks with celiac.

Yes, in Wayland it’s built into kwin.

I use the terminal on a daily basis. My job involves writing software for terminals.

Ctrl+Meta+Esc in KDE is still how I kill a misbehaving graphical app.
