I mean, I installed Kate just to do a comparison before posting, I can show you the screenshots if you want. Or just continue believing what you want.

But kde applications use even more space with the title bar, menu bar and tool bar. Even if you disable the toolbar and menu bar, there’s much more padding in kde applications resulting in the content area being significantly smaller. I just compared Kate to gedit and the new gnome text editor and it’s not even close. The gnome applications are much more compact.
I’ve been seeing people complain about header bars being “huge” for years, but every time I actually do a comparison, the header bar application turns out to be more compact than the alternative.
The only issue with gnome in that area is their antagonism towards themes, as themes can easily fix any size possible problems, but the newest default theme is quite reasonable. I used to have custom CSS to shrink the header bars, but it’s no longer necessary.
That being said I recently switched to plasma as well, as gnome’s forced Wayland transition resulted in way too many workflow issues and bugs. But I just configured plasma to work like gnome-shell and I’m continuing to use gnome applications.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•European propaganda DESTROYED
7·3 months agoAnd if you only ever used it for describing weather, that would be an argument to make. But you use it everywhere, I mean just search for the term “cooking temperature” on Google images and you’ll see a bunch of nonsense.
But even using it just for weather, this is still not a good argument, as the perspective of hot and cold is very very subjective, and changes constantly. To me, an outside temperature if 10C feels freezing cold in September, but it’s reasonably warm in January. Or an inside temperature of 24C will feel amazingly cold on a 42C July day, but super warm on a -10C December night.

Technology@lemmy.world•An Open Source Mirrorless Camera You’d Want To UseEnglish
7·2 years agoYeah, it seems the sensor costs as much as a decent used camera.
I was wondering if your tool was displaying cache as usage, but I guess not. Not sure what you have running that’s consuming that much.
I mentioned this in another comment, but I’m currently running a simulation of a whole proxmox cluster with nodes, storage servers, switches and even a windows client machine active. I’m running that all on gnome with Firefox and discord open and this is my usage
$ free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 46Gi 16Gi 9.1Gi 168Mi 22Gi 30Gi Swap: 3.8Gi 0B 3.8GiOf course discord is inside Firefox, so that helps, but still…
What does

About 6 months ago I upgraded my desktop from 16 to 48 gigs cause there were a few times I felt like I needed a bigger tmpfs.
Anyway, the other day I set up a simulation of this cluster I’m configuring, just kept piling up virtual machines without looking cause I knew I had all the ram I could need for them. Eventually I got curious and checked my usage, I had just only reached 16 gigs.I think basically the only time I use more that the 16 gigs I had is when I fire up my GPU passthrough windows VM that I use for games, which isn’t your typical usage.
Hyperconvergence or hypervisor.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why is UI design backsliding?English
9·2 years agoI remember people being upset by the ribbon back when office 2007 was released. Their complaints made sense until I sat down and used it. Found it to be a great improvement. I switched my libre office to the ribbon layout as soon as they added it. Because I don’t use it often, it’s great for finding stuff compared to looking through the menus.
The nice thing about the LO implementation is also that they added a couple of varieties of the design, like the compact one which pushes things closer together so it’s not distracting.
The text is probably made up, but people have done such swap posts several times before and got similarly opposite results. Usually the posts get removed from the sub when someone eventually notices the deception, but you can still read them if you have a link. It’s a very toxic sub.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL over 500'000 German prisoners of war died in forced labour camps, after the German surrender, while detained in the Soviet Union. With the latest survivors only being released a decade later.English
41·2 years agoQuite literally the first paragraph of the article:
According to Soviet records 381,067 German Wehrmacht POWs died in NKVD camps (356,700 German nationals and 24,367 from other nations).
Or in more detail lower down in the section titled Soviet statistics:
According to Russian historian Grigori F. Krivosheev, Soviet NKVD figures list 2,733,739 German “Wehrmacht” POWs (Военнопленные из войск вермахта) taken with 381,067 having died in captivity.

815·2 years agoI’m not sure which German you expect to have conducted this research other than a former Nazi, seeing as basically everyone left was a former Nazi. And I don’t see how you can just dismiss the government report as Nazi lies when even the Soviets report a figure of 350 thousand dead.



I remember seeing a thread about redis on r/linux where lots and lots of people were basically defending Amazon as if from an anarcho-capitalist position. This confused me as I always saw foss (and foss users) as leaning socialist and anti-corporate.
I spoke to someone about that and they linked me this article (and the article linked in the first sentence) which really opened my eyes.
