Is there a "government" version or similar, where security is paramount? Like, how does MS sell windows 11 to the navy or whatever...?

Sometimes people get caught up trying to find exact matches for software, when instead it's a combination of tools that gets the job done on another OS. The annoying thing is learning new toolsets -- but it's only annoying until you know them.

KDE Plasma recently added a once-annually notification requesting donations to the KDE e.V. (who pay for things like server infrastructure to support the project). Is this past your line, or acceptable?

Windows 7 still has a similar market share to desktop Linux. I suspect that some of those users are holdouts, rejecting the Cortana nonsense but too stubborn or lazy to switch. But I'd also wager that, in the longer term, a decent portion of that 3% ends up on Linux.

It's really rare for a project to completely rewrite to a new toolkit. VLC in circa 2007 did it (moved to Qt - even stole their volume control widget directly from Amarok at the time). GCompris ended up as a KDE project despite originating in Gnome (along with toolkit change, but it weirdly kept the name). LXDE->LXQT also. But I don't actually have that many examples.

Very possible. But wanted to presume bad coding over outright falsification.

Scrolling through the list. The timestamps are too regular, meaning it is interpreting a lot of ambient noise as music.

But you mean you wrote it in python with tkinter as a toolkit, rather than writing it in Tcl (which is its own language, like python).

Serious question: I've never met a programmer who has ever actually written anything in Tcl in the real world. If you've working in Tcl, tell me about it! What did you use it for and when? Was it awesome/terrible/etc.?

I agree, so I've been posting photos and things. What we don't need is a bunch of autoposting bots.

If you want to find the busy threads though, sort of Active and All. And just see what is going on across the lemmyverse

Forward slash doesn't throw a mental syntax error? ;)

What is the plural of mail? ;)
