No they wouldn't. They would happily work with Republicans to fund Israel. I have no idea where you got it in your head that Democrats have any sort of tendency towards contrarianism; they trip over their own feet rushing to work with the Republicans on anything they can to prove they're "moderate" and "non-partisan".

I would bet the main reason is that KDE is way more willing to accept features and contributions outside of the typical use case than Gnome is.

You're the one they see every flight. Keep up the good work

You shouldn't put a protector on it. If you get a normal protector, you're basically just re-adding glare. If you get an anti-glare protector, you're further increasing the blurriness and darkening the screen, as that's how anti-glare works. The adhesive will also fill in the etching and reduce its effectiveness (search for "scotch tape frosted glass", same concept), but how permanent that is has never truly been verified; presumably, a good rub with alcohol should fix that problem.

The goal here is to make it difficult to link to things uploaded to discord from outside of discord. The malware reason is BS. If they wanted to curb malware it would be as easy as making it a nitro feature. What that doesn't fix is all the people piggybacking on discord as a free CDN.

Discord isn't even wrong for doing this. I just resent their dishonesty.

This sucked, but shouldn't happen anymore now the the flatpak is official.

Let's actually not advocate for a different proprietary software, and instead advocate for FOSS solutions like Mumble.

The computer didn't get it wrong; the computer did exactly what it was programmed to do. Blaming the computer implies that this can be solved by fixing the computer, that it "just wasn't good enough yet", when it was the humans who actually did it. It was the humans who were supposed to exercise their judgment that got it wrong. You can't fix that from the computer.

Why doesn't Israel stop doing things that require other countries to intervene

Convincing argument, but unfortunately a cursory Google search will reveal he was right. There is very little CPU overhead. The only real consideration is a bite extra storage and RAM to store and load the redundant dependencies of the container.

While that isn't false, defaults carry immense weight. Also, very few have the means to host at scale like Docker Hub; if the goal is to not just repeat the same mistake later, each project would have to host their own, or perhaps band together into smaller groups. And unfortunately, being a good programmer does not make you good at devops or sysadmin work, so now we need to involve more people with those skillsets.

To be clear, I'm totally in favor of this kind of fragmentation. I'm just also realistic about what it means.
