I wish you the best bro

Ah OK, welcome! I have spread MMT in Italy since 2011 but I am not very aware of the latest developments in the English-speaking area

@pluralistic

Because you are challenging the dogmas of macroeconomics in a way that is vaguely reminiscent of a heterodox theory like MMT?

@pluralistic

Never heard of #ModernMonetaryTheory and #JobGurantee ?

@atomicpoet

KDE is a community, not a DE, the DE is Plasma... and the platform is mostly Freedesktop with X11, Wayland, DBUS, Flatpak and so on. Plasma is just a Freedesktop-compatible DE.

BTW using the name of the kernel as the name of the desktop platform is something that just happened: it's how language works.

@atomicpoet

Who cares, Bash is a shell like the others; with "Linux" we mean the desktop OS opposed to Windows and MacOS. You must look at this from desktop computing perspective, not the definition of OS by informatics textbooks.

@atomicpoet

OK, be aware many use the term "Linux" as short for the desktop platform, not for the Linux kernel; it is a figure of speech.

Personally I don't understand which user can care if Android, ChromeOS or some embedded device uses Linux kernel or something else, it only matters to IT professionals or equivalent.

As an engineer who used only Linux distros as his desktop OS for 12 years, the only peculiarity I know about Linux kernel is that it has cgroups and namespaces that power containers that I use a lot.

@atomicpoet

Please distinguish between Linux-the-kernel and Linux-the-desktop-platform. The latter is basically Freedesktop standards and projects, DEs like Plasma and GNOME and so on.

Who cares if the kernel is actually Linux-the-kernel or something else.

@arnicas

More than ever we need #ModernMonetaryTheory and #JobGuarantee

Same with KDE and some Freedesktop initiatives. There was even the effort to unify instant messaging services in Telepathy that was integrated with the system. Not to mention Nepomuk and semantic search.

We still have KIO to make remote or "virtual" resources appear as files and folders. And KRunner can still be used to provide some unified search but a few third party apps take advantage of it.

And sadly tabs in title bars to make windows behave more like browser tabs are gone.

What's wrong with Glenn Greenwald now? No one is caring to reply.

This is why I love #Logseq : it stores data as Markdown or Org files but when running it turns them into a graph database you can query using #Datalog from inside the app itself or via CLI. It can even expose API as a local HTTP server so that other apps can create ad-hoc GUI or programmatically edit your notes/tasks. Its data model is so flexible that let you store notes, tasks and a relational database of arbitrary objects where you define keys and values.

> it’s *so cool* that copy and paste actually works across every app. what’s the next clipboard, or the next url?

I would like a timeline of actions taken on different apps, the ability to revert some of them like we do with Ctrl+Z and to turn a bunch of them into a script that can be run against new documents.

Now report this as "Russian propaganda". I assume this video is a so-called computer generated deep fake, right?
