KDE is now my favorite desktop

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-22 11:17:51

From my last blog post, I am now using KDE as the desktop environment for my gaming rig. The reason is because I want a reasonably easy to use Linux desktop for when my wife needs to use the PC for something other than gaming, and this was the reason why my "traditional" Sway setup was a no-go. But, after using KDE for a while I am starting to really appreciate how good it is. And no, this is not compared to other Linux desktops, but also with both Windows and macOS (that I need to use often, e

I Can Never Forget That ‘Loonatics Unleashed’ Existed

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-25 08:40:21

Our current IP-obsessed age is doing anything possible with old properties, but that’s not as new a trend as you’d think. Such a practice was around in the early and mid-2000s, just in small droves—case in point, do you remember when the Looney Tunes were superheroes? Yes, that really happened in a show called Loonatics Unleashed. The Kids’ WB show launched on September 17, 2005, and was the franchise’s first foray into the action genre. Our premise? It’s 2722, and the Loonatics were normal peo

Matthew Prince Wants AI Companies to Pay for Their Sins

wired.com Katie Drummond 2025-09-29 08:00:00

My evidence that we're onto something is we've seen a handful of content deals, and the company that has gotten the best deal by far is Reddit. We know from their public filings that last year they got close to $140 million a year from Google and OpenAI. Hmm. If you compare that with a similar deal that was done for The New York Times, they got about $20 million. So Reddit got seven times more than The New York Times. Why? Well, maybe it's crazy … I think I know where you're going, and I'm go

WIRED Roundup: How Charlie Kirk Changed Conservative Media

wired.com Zoë Schiffer 2025-09-30 00:26:01

Zoë Schiffer: So where does that leave traditional right-wing media, like Fox News, for example? Is this a replacement of that or is it working in tandem? Jake Lahut: I think it's more in tandem. Fox's programming was dominated by Kirk's assassination last night. I think that for a lot of the mainstay Fox personalities, people like Charlie Kirk, and I guess in the Turning Point USA broader cinematic universe, these younger figures are really important, actually, for I think a lot of the more es

Foundation season three just dropped its finale episode, “The Darkness,” and it was jam-packed with reveals and twists. When io9 got a chance to talk to Synnøve Karlsen, who plays Bayta Mallow on the Apple TV+ show, we didn’t hesitate, since Bayta plays a crucial part in what happens in the climax, and there’s no doubt she’ll be having an impact on the show’s just-announced fourth season.

My phone is an ereader now I got a Kobo in 2016 after borrowing my mom's old one for a year before that. It probably is responsible for getting me reading again after high school.
