It feels like she knew she would get fired from this new job, leverage it nationwide articles and get even more subscribers to her OF page. She even references the teaching gig in her bio, and the new job in her latest posts.

Considering teachers practically work 100% of the time, it seems it would be difficult to genuinely perform the duties required while still maintaining a flourishing side gig like OF.

My wife is a teacher. I see how much they have to work at home. She probably wasn't a great teacher in the first place.

I feel her point about the pay. Considering the hours worked, teaching is barely approaching minimum wage.

Nate's blog has been really encouraging people to submit bug reports. So I think the goal of Neon is to have the bleeding edge KDE with a stable base, to rule out confounding factors as much as possible. I don't think it's a bait-and-switch since the product hasn't changed. They'd probably just really rather it be used for people willing to submit bug reports.

Yep, definitely what we already knew. I'm surprised to hear it's the default on the Slimbooks actually; that sounds like exactly what they were trying to avoid with the way they pitched Neon.

I agree on Neon being great, I love KDE's pace of updates. I read Nate's blog every week religiously. I'm spoiled to the AUR these days, though. Just for that I can't go back to non-arch based distro. Been rocking Manjaro and have the least headaches out of anything I've tried.

@mistral@lemmings.world Provide me a set of "special characters" as in characters that make others think you're special if you use them in an email.

It seems the hesitancy was fear it might be considered the de facto way to install KDE.

It's been clarified to be primarily for testing due to it's bleeding-edgeness.

 

The mental pretzel is finally over.

Considering the billionaires also own the contracts for manufacturing every piece of military equipment we have... That would get interesting.

If something like KDE Neon came preinstalled on a PC they'd be fine tbh. It's the act of having to install a thing that makes it undesirable

You will have a really bad time on Windows with 4GB ram and 64GB storage, though.

100%. Reddit killed the vibe for the people that appreciate it the most.

We just had a president calling up state leaders to try and reject the winner of the election.

No one took him up on it, primarily because there was no legal basis to do so.

If a state can remove a nominee before the election even starts, that would NOT be good for us. We've seen time and time again how political factions will use any leeway they have to solidify power.
