Absolutely, yep! I curse myself every time I just click "extract" forgetting that other file managers don't do this, and end up with files all over the place

I'm curious about what you mean by the issue with Android's security model. Apps can have whatever package name they want (... Well, I am sure you can't publish a com.google package on the Play Store) so that doesn't make sense.

The only thing I can imagine you're referring to is data sharing between applications signed with the same key, but that's not the package name.

And you really don't want it to either. That could cause all sorts of privacy issues if you accidentally include private information in the conversation - and as far as I have heard it is harder to remove information from LLMs than it is to "add" information to it.

Also Microsoft's Tay could adapt itself based on conversations and that went real well...

Someone could've compromised the materials used to build the CPU, better assemble the atoms together one by one.

Maybe your bug report didn't get collected into the other bug report, but it'll be resolved for Plasma 6 thankfully!

Or AMD, apparently. The bug report for this issue was explicitly renamed to say "Non Intel GPUs" - even though it seemed to be more likely(?) to happen to Nvidia users.

As far as I understand, its the major push for moving forward with Wayland and dropping X11 as fast as possible yet Wayland still doesn't work for a lot of workflows (say, making use of global hotkeys, or Nvidia users, etc).

Generally Plasma. I really like the look of Libadwaita applications, but the GNOME desktop is very much a "do it our way, or take a hike" - and some of the interactions that I've seen in the past between the GNOME group and others... well, lets just say whenever I see drama in the Linux community as of recently its always been either with GNOME or Wayland. That doesn't necessarily instill a lot of confidence in me using either of those.

Definitely, there are less posts here that I feel if I comment its just going to end up going south - especially if I have a differing opinion. Which isn't to say that doesn't happen here on Lemmy, there are certainly topics where if you go against the grain, the exact same thing will happen (some of those topics make sense and are worth "fighting" for, others not so much).

It's called "Caffeinate" (I'm avoiding posting the direct link just so I don't break any self promotion rules), I made it in the Android 7 days when the quick settings Tile API came out to replicate the similar tile that was available in CyanogenMod. It ended up getting way more downloads than I ever expected honestly - I just wanted to try the new API haha.

I know that Caffeinate itself doesn't use up a lot of RAM (the only thing it does when its active is create a persistent notification and creates a wakelock in order to keep the screen active), but perhaps the lower end Samsung device models just have less RAM available, so opening a browser or such kills it.
