Or everybody remove your red wristbands to waste their time checking you again.

“I rape and murder just as many people I want, which is zero because I’m not a horrible person. How many is it for you, that only fear of metaphysical punishment is stopping you?”

Creating a nuisance?

Edit: I guess y’all didn’t get the reference.

It also helps that they also likely realize that the truth will get out sooner or later and don’t want to be among the ones who protected those monsters.

It’s about a decade late for that.

I’ve been wanting to watch the Olympics, but have so far failed because my previous VPN + Canadian coverage strategy doesn’t work (CBC requires an account now) and I can’t find my TV remote to switch the input from my set-top box to the antenna.

This would be possible to DIY if ‘smart’ TVs weren’t DRM’d pieces of shit.

they’ll just continue to scream and bleat something about gay books in the library being the biggest threat to children

Because this is genuinely what they want.

While we’re reporting issues, here’s two more:

• It doesn’t put the closing quotation mark on the output.
• It doesn’t use correct quotation marks for each language (in French, quotation marks «look like this», for example).

One of the defining characteristics of conservatives is their inability to understand that not everyone else is as shitty as they are. If you pointed out to them that yes, other people did in fact think something like that could happen, they’d just assume you were lying.

Took me a minute to find it again, but there was an excellent essay answering this question. From https://thompson2026.com/blog/deviancy-signal/ :

There’s a special kind of contempt I reserve for the person who says, “I have nothing to hide.” It’s not the gentle pity you’d have for the naive. It’s the cold, hard anger you hold for a collaborator. Because these people aren’t just surrendering their own liberty. They’re instead actively forging the chains for the rest of us. They are a threat, and I think it’s time they were told so.

…

On a societal scale, this inaction becomes a collective betrayal. The power of the Deviancy Signal is directly proportional to the number of people who live transparently. Every person who refuses to practice privacy adds another gallon of clean, clear water to the state’s pool, making any ripple of dissent … any deviation … starkly visible. This is not a passive choice. By refusing to help create a chaotic, noisy baseline of universal privacy, you are actively making the system more effective. You are failing to do your part to make the baseline all deviant, and in doing so, you make us all more vulnerable.

I hate to say it (bc Microsoft), but you should’ve used Bing so you’d get a Klingon translation.

Arrested for what? Littering?

Restraining the bard is what makes the game new player friendly.

Yo dawg, I heard you like 'taters…

Jesus, it’s like !anythingbutmetric@discuss.tchncs.de: MFs will really do anything to avoid switching to an alternative that’s actually Free Software.

That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard. Why would “we’ll capitulate once you give up your leverage” ever be entertained as a serious offer, in any context? You’d have to be an absolute moron to fall for it.

They are literally trying to murder our children. Why are we letting them?

In some other country, maybe (assuming the USAID cuts haven’t done it already). Even poor people in the US are rich enough to outbid people in the developing world on food imports, if it were truly necessary, so if we did fuck up our own harvest enough to cause a real shortage we’d just buy somebody else’s.

I want to see that and the half-width Jeep (also owned by the same museum) driving down two lanes side by side.

What I want is to set the default filter to “All Files” for every application that uses the file picker. I don’t want to do it per application. If there’s a setting for the file picker itself, I want to use that.

It’s not just the save dialog, I mentioned the file selection dialog (for uploading) in the post. The Librewolf “save page as” is just one singular example, not the entire problem!

Oh! In that case, KFileDialog might actually be (roughly) the part you want to patch.

(That was just what I found in a couple of minutes of looking, BTW. I’ve never programmed anything related to KDE – not even applications, let alone the library itself – so do your own research. I’m just going by generic software engineering principles, not anything specific to how KDE works, either technically or administratively.)

What would the effects be?

Depends on exactly which bits you change. The “save” dialog probably inherits from an abstract dialog or something. If you change the base class everything will be affected; if you change the derived class only the derived class will be affected. The trick is to find the right layer in the hierarchy that changes everything you want while leaving everything else alone.

How would I go about this? Would I need to alter the source code and recompile? What would happen when I update the software?

Yes, you’d have to alter the source and recompile. At that point, you’re basically maintaining your own small private fork of the software, so you’d have to merge your changes back in on each update.

Alternatively, you could try to get the KDE project to accept the changes, but I have no idea how receptive they would be.

“Saving HTML files with their file extension” can still be accomplished if I can see all the files at once. I’m not changing the extension, I just want to see where I’m putting them. There is no reason why viewing all files would prevent me from saving the same file types together.

If you’re saying that you’d like to decouple the filter of what file types you can see from the filter of what file types you can save as, that’s interesting. It might have merit in terms of user experience, but I suspect it might be a slightly more invasive change to code – and an even more invasive change to the public-facing API, which developers of applications that use KDE might have something to say about.
