I think anyone is allowed to develop a KDE app. You have to go through a process to get accepted for the branding I think. But it not like they spent paid employee time on this afaik.
A good friend has one, also only for one ear. People don't really notice, I'd say. I don't think it really restored a lot of hearing but he still wears it usually as it is still better than nothing. He got it pretty quickly after his hearing loss, so no idea how that would be after 20 years. He got them for free through standard health care as far as I know. I don't think he'd be willing to pay a lot for it if he had to. But I never asked that directly. Not aure if that helps. If you want I can try to ask him some specific questions if I remember to do so.
I know this is the wrong place to say this, but I really like the Windows Explorer. Dolphin is a good replacement, but it would be one of the few things I'd like to keep on Linux.
It's based on a report from Deutsche Bank finical analysts that said that the enormous spending on "AI" is the only reason the US economy isn't in recession already.
It definitely is/was. Most user facing software these days is a web app, or native application using JS anyways. The event loop and async programming is also ubiquitous nowadays in most languages, especially server side.
If you want a fun read how, once again, the government socializes losses so the rich can keep their privatized gains. https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/115278892228192244 TL;DR they outsourced their IT security (to a company part of management owned), laid off staff and then got owned.
Shocker, LLMs are only built to predict the next most likely word in a sentence and nothing else. Glad we test all the things there not good for individually though.
People always hate on k8s, but rarely mention alternatives. Because either you use a cloud offering, aka k8s hiding behind a facade. Or a VM and then your tooling kind of sucks or is equally complex to k8s
I agree with the layoffs and maximizing monetization. But I think so far they haven't actively killed any of their purchased products. It is in their financial interest to keep things running as long as possible to get their return on investment.
Check out Hitler's paintings. He didn't get into art school, sure, but they aren't awful. It is certainly beyond anything the average person could just draw without practice. This is just garbage.
Oof three comments on the heating one and all are classic "oh no my economy" climate crisis denying dumb asses. Who would have thought that China was the only country giving me real hope for some reasonable outcome...
