  • "China" has been colonialist for ~3000 years. The entire region has been a series of colonial projects since the dawn of civilisation. I can't even think of a period when they weren't colonialist.

    Edit: I don't mean to single out China here -- my point is that nearly everyone is colonialist and has been for a very long time, so any state saying they are not colonialist is most likely lying.

  • Depending on the region and how you measure the difference, the drop is anywhere from 25% to 75%, so yeah, it's a lot. For reference, in 2024 about 3.3 million Canadians went to Florida alone, and that doesn't count other states -- in particular border areas that heavily depend on Canadian shoppers. This nonsense started at the tail end of the winter travel season so the effects didn't have time to fully manifest but next year will be very bad for the US.

  • It isn't the snapping I was referring to, but the ability to make a window span multiple areas. In KDE the window can only snap into a single area.

  • It does, but in Plasma you can only snap a window to a single area. With FancyZones you can create a more detailed grid and hold a modifier key to make the window span multiple areas, so it's much more flexible than the fixed layout of KDE. For example you can make a 4x4 grid and choose to span a window across 4x1 or 1x4. That's impossible in Plasma (for now).

  • Yeah, but then I'd be using Gnome.

  • I miss the window tiling one. Its ability to span multiple "areas" with a window by holding a modifier key is something I sorely wish KDE's tiling had.

    Edit: FancyZones! Finally remembered the name.

  • The editor tells staff writers at their last meeting: "Advertising numbers are slipping. We need a piece of ragebait so egregious that it's guaranteed to get pageviews. Georgina, you're on it; have it on my desk by tomorrow."

  • To me, Lua will always be the WoW plugin language.

  • This is like me when I try to use my wife's iPhone. Where are the buttons? How do I exit the app?

  • I wonder what this guy has on his criminal record.

  • I'd prefer a retirement destination with a statistically insignificant chance of being murdered or kidnapped. Costa Rica is much higher on my list than Mexico.

  • I used to think I might become a snowbird, but since 2016 I found the US visibly declined every year, and that accelerated sharpy during COVID and of course far more so now. Needless to say I'm not going in the short term, and I'm not hopeful the country will still exist in the long term.

  • Exactly - LLMs by definition don't know or understand the meaning of the words they're saying. That technology can never yield something intelligent.

  • Never ask a Lemming what kind of leftist they are, or what is the best Linux distro.

  • Chad Romania vs Virgin Chad

  • Future queen of Belgium can probably go to Oxford

    If only the OP had a link with more information about this.

  • What a coincidence, it's trending in the White House too!
