  • On KDE, it’s just one of the suggestions, I believe, that you could search this term on the web. If you trigger that suggestion, it then opens the web browser to do the search.

    As such, searching “terminal” wouldn’t yield a suggestion from a web result that matches, but I’m pretty sure applications are prioritized above other results either way.



  • Man, I keep having that problem, that some car or motorcycle sounds like it needs a repair to me, only for me to realize that, no-no, they want it to sound like that.

    Just yesterday evening, I heard someone revving before accelerating again after a stop at a crossing, and if they would’ve gotten out of their car at that point, I might’ve shouted over that, damn, sounds like they need to get their clutch looked at.
    Genuinely thought they failed to engage a gear multiple times. Meanwhile, they would’ve probably punched my face in, if I insulted their car like that. 🙃

    That is genuinely one of the reasons why I use light theme. Like, have you see how bright the fucking sun is? My light-themed screen is still a joke compared to looking outside the window. So, I’m trying to help along my circadian rhythm by at least somewhat simulating the sun on my screen.

    What I find most frustrating about this kind of incident is this:

    xkcd comic about the entire software engineering field not being trustworthy

    There is fucking nothing that would prevent humanity from actually building a ‘smart’ bed. Something that gives you data and allows you to control heating etc. based on this data, without these features being a liability.
    This would’ve been possible decades ago and technological advancements have made building reliable software easier ever since.

    But unregulated capitalism means that instead of using this to actually build reliable software, it’s rather used to cut costs. You still get the same unreliable mess.
    And the worst part is that this isn’t even in the interest of capitalism either. Sending shivers down the spine of any experts that hear about your smart device means that excitement among potential customers won’t be excessive either.
