COVIDIsn't over. I mask anywhere people are.
Mozilla: screens are bigger now, so we've decided to make using our browser on them maximally excruciating! Please clap.

getting tired of opening any type of projects I find cool on github, just to see:

"This app was coded using Claude"

ok bye

event.originalTarget from Firefox is one of those things that should be standard.

I don't mind sifting through direct elements, or even burrowing my way through event.composedPath(), but... nice not to have to.

RMC (now 'Retro Collective') turned into slop-shit. I need another tech history show.
Will say though, I do like the default window snapping behavior in KDE Plasma. It's gentle and includes *everything* so far, even weird non-standard unchromed windows through WINE.

Wait. KDE Plasma sets associations by broad type instead of extension? That kinda blows.

Edit: Looks like it's only that heavy-handed when setting associations through "open with..." -> "always use...". Setting up the mimetype and app maybe behaves? About to see.

Edit 2: NOPE! lol

Edit 3: Nah, we're good. Just had to restart nautilus.

Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

There's a bit of drama going on with the popular game manager Lutris right now, with users pointing out the developer using AI generated code via Claude.

"is this going somewhere?"

Yeah bud. And you were found incapable of following.

Little annoying thing about KDE Plasma (+Xorg) coming from Gnome (again, +Xorg):

Literally everything has an extra 0.5s-2s hitch before launching. EVERYTHING. It's goddamned annoying, especially for things like quick screenshots when milliseconds matter.

I've been able to lessen only one of the hitches (vscode) by telling it to stop looking for kwallet. But, uh, if a screenshot program (and I've tried several) is looking for kwallet, something's fucked up with the world.

fucking icon you have to turn off to disable their AI shit, which lives in its own service, so none of the (3? more?) AI disabler toggles covers it, but it doesn't work without Smart Features so lol
