I’ve no doubt the staff are friendly, and that the vets genuinely care.

I myself was with the same practice for ten years, and the price for the yearly checkup was reasonable.

Until my boy was diagnosed with kidney failure. The care was excellent, and the diagnosis correct, but the price for the bloodwork and kidney ultrasound raised eyebrows.

I went looking. Straight up scam. The place was owned by a group that owned several other vets in the area, all with a pattern of low prices for the basics, and then 5-10 times the “norm” for everything beyond that.

The next practice over charged 1/5 for the same bloodwork, and could have saved me over a 1000€ on the ultrasound.

So, just double check. If you’re getting the best price in your area without compromising on the care, good. But if you haven’t made sure, you should.

Until the guards spot you and put you in there with them.

If you can, try to find a practice that hasn’t been bought up by private equity.

Pumping prices on pet care is another straight up evil thing happening, because people will pay anything for love.

With the result that people who really can’t afford it, either go into debt or lose their pets early.

My turn to hold her off, everyone run!

Ah, no. I’m not familiar with how to do that.

But I wouldn’t think so? I’m more familiar with KDE, but with it at least I’ve always found ways to edit some files somewhere to accomplish what I want.

So far.

For this I’ve just been creating folders and setting their icons manually.

You mean the icons?

At least in KDE dolphin, you can edit any folder and set the icon as whatever you like. It’ll follow the theme color too, if you use the right icon.

Hauntings? The solution is gay.

You can see her in the second panel.

Sure.

Saying people would end up “cowering in fear” and telling KDE to reassign the person who came up with making their own distro to kcalc was entirely pragmatic on your part.

You walked in with a lot more anger, and pointed it at a VOLUNTEER PROJECT that produces FREE SOFTWARE. You attributed profit motivations to them like they’re some kind corporate landlords out to capture the “market”.

The other person commented with info that shows KDE does not have the goals you suspected.

My comment explained why you were insane to have suspicions in the first place.

KDE is not a company, and doesn’t have profit incentives. I’m sorry if I corrected you on that a little too vehemently, but that doesn’t invalidate the point.

Or even my heated tone in response to your heated post.

Volunteer projects, have volunteers. Not project managers you can punish by “assigning” them to do stuff they have no interest in.

No.

I had fun watching it, but I would not call it good.

I also enjoy how cute this piece makes her.

The slit pupils help for some reason.

You don’t have a problem with the “noise”.

You have a problem with other opinions.

You just call it “noise” because it lets you feel like you have a valid point.

Yeah… Except GoodYear is a commercial entity. While KDE is not.

The reason corporations pull that kind of shit, is because there’s money in it.

Why the fuck would a FOSS project start locking down functionality? They don’t sell anything. Even when FOSS projects charge, the second they’re unfair about it, people will just fork the project and take it for free.

KDE doesn’t have “sales”. They don’t care whether they have a thousand users or a million. The money they “make” is the same. Because KDE isn’t a product you buy. Their revenue doesn’t go up or down depending on how many people they can get to use their desktop environment and applications.

In fact, if anything, doing what you suspect would cause people to donate less to the project.

The thing about FOSS projects is that if they forced you to use them in a way that upsets you… You can just not pay. With GoodYear, making you unhappy is worth it, because you still have to buy the car.

It’s because he knows how screwed OpenAI, actually is.

He acts like he’s surfing the wave. He looks like he’s exactly as deep in the hole as he actually is.

ChatGPT is the next Theranos.

He hasn’t just scammed consumers. He’s scammed investors. And that’s the one crime that actually lands people like him in prison.

Discover is far from ideal for managing arch packages. AUR support is not a thing.

Not like square panes were going to fit anyway.

I feel like Frieren would be the type to point and laugh.

I usually go with Kubuntu.

Set up flatpak, share internet from my phone via usb to install broadcom wifi drivers, and modify the KDE desktop to work more like MacOS (add top bar with search widget and alt menu, turn bottom taskbar into a dock, move window buttons to top left).

Hand it back to the post-MacOS-user. No complaints so far. In fact one came back with another Mac and asked me to do it again.

Exactly.

Or if you really need to save, have two ammo feeds.
