I honestly don’t really see it, I think vanilla GNOME looks amazing, while KDE Plasma just screams Windows 7 to me.

Having said it that, both are great DE’s with vastly different approaches. So these can definitely just co exist, while we can both agree that both DE’s are great for different people and workflows.

Just a small bit of nuance that I neglected to give before, I do live in Sweden and $43k gets you much further in Sweden than in the US.

It’s a above median income, which is about $38k. (Both numbers are rounded, in total im line 6k above median per year). But still very significantly below what I can get with my same degree in industry.

It’s a known thing in academia, the pay is not great. Even very high ranking professors, who essentially could have a CEO-like position in industry, still don’t crack six digits here.

It’s not like the government is exactly paying fair wages themselves either. Ask any teacher, nurse, researcher or anyone else working in the public sector.

As a scientist, I’d get a major wage increase if I’d switch to the private sector.

As far as I know they are planning to maintain it their own way. But I’m not exactly sure about the details on how compatible with RHEL they plan it to be in the future, how it will affect their own enterprise release in the long term.

They’re not hunting for forks one by one, instead they don’t release the source code anymore for non-costumers of RHEL, effectively killing off hard forks.

I’ve never seen such a thing in my life, but then again where I’m from even iPhone users barely use iMessage

The led can just be put in the speaker grill though, I think my old HTC did this.

Leaving voicemails? Seems my dude never left the early 90s either?

I honestly don’t really care, as long as you follow the golden rule (don’t be horny on main), I’m fine with my Lemmy comment history being tied to my real life persona. But I totally get why one would want the option for private names.

I’m sorry, we’re not force pushing on anyone without explicit consent from the maintainer over here >:-(

If you think four years of technical debt is a lot, wait until you hear about Microsoft Windows.
