Quoting: Solitaryto stop just bickering about the issue and start doing something about it.
And you think that putting people in house arrest is "doing something about it" ?
Open borders and, in the case of Italy, 300.000 Chinese immigrants is recipe for catastrophe.
What brought us here was too much government; only the fall of these so-called social democracies and the return to healthy individualism will return Europe to its former glory.

Quoting: ssj17vegetado not confuse 20th century soviet productivism (which was sort of relevant considering the recent rise of ecology) and 21st century eco-socialism [External Link].
Do not confuse antiquity's pseudo agrarianism with feudal post mortemnism, particularly the latter being a precursor for quantic seropositivism.

We, the West, are Capitalist no longer.
We became exactly like our former enemies (Nazis, Communists) with an omnipresent State disguised as social justice. The current confinements are the final expression of this.
I hope this Covid-19 situation blows up the financial system (read fiat money) that underpins all this madness.

Quoting: Lolo01I'm tired of KDE :dizzy:
I didn't know that was possible :O
I must admit that Cinnamon goes from strength to strength, and I could use it on a second machine, but KDE... well, it's in its own league.

Protect the NHS
I thought the NHS was supposed to protect the patients.
Protect the NHS from privatization by keeping it a national service for all otherwise there would be no healthcare to protect the everyone during pandemics
Yes there would, and it'd be cheaper and more efficient.
"Protect the NHS" from its obvious and gigantic flaws.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAlthough I still think we should be suspicious of temptations to multitask; I would wager there are a good number of people out there who use multiple windows, screens etc. for the wrong reasons and think it's increasing their productivity when it is actually dividing their attention
I suspect the same.
I never could get anything done unless I concentrate on one window/one task.

Quoting: CatKillerKDE means that you can do all the customisation that you want without breaking anything. No fiddling around with text files, no searching around for extensions, no cryptic commands, just flick a switch in the GUI. If you don't like the result, just flick it back. Nice and easy, nice and discoverable.
This.
Also KDE can be used out of the box too, no tinkering needed, which is more than I can say for other DEs.
Plasma strikes me more and more as the DE in the Linux world.

Distro News - Ubuntu 20.04 'Focal Fossa', Ubuntu MATE and other flavours released

KDE allows scaling in steps of 6.25%, that's definitely more granular than 25% steps.

Ubuntu 20.04 has hit Beta (as have all the extra flavours) - help make it a release to remember

I really dislike the idea of snap/flatpak, I find it the opposite of the KISS principle, they're bloated and complicated, and maybe the answer to a question not asked, at least not in the desktop.
I like how this guy puts it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPzzcnVh__I [External Link]
