I think the fact that GNOME extensions break/need to be updated with each DE upgrade is a great reason to pick KDE over GNOME.


Yes it is a weak point. In the end, no matter what you choose you'll have to make a compromise. Some people prefer extra stability, others prefer a specific workflow or UI theme. It's entirely up to you and that's what makes Linux so great!


My experience has been that while gnome extensions can break with updates. KDE’s built in customization is already buggy as hell. So your choice is to either use gnome for a generally good experience and disable extensions when something breaks, or use kde and not know what feature will break what.

Gnome team probably made the (correct) choice that they couldn’t reasonably maintain a massively customizable de with their resources.

do you remember which one? hope it wasn't bitwarden :/

how about making it harder for them to stop a nicotine addiction, or get support after experiencing sexual assault?

if by "DOTA FPS" you mean their new MOBA Deadlock, AFAIK it's not related to DOTA in any way.


Other than being developed by the same guy, IceFrog, that originally developed (the final versions of) DotA. That's been the community "common knowledge" for a good while at least, I don't know if it was ever officially confirmed.


Oh, is Deadlock by IceFrog too? I've been keeping on its development but hadn't heard that.


Thanks. Yes, I mixed up the acronyms.


don't bring them to a protest, simple :)


Yeah, not sure many people are aware their beloved tech is spying on them. At this point face recognition and other tech can make it such that everyone is traced, filed and automatically sent summons of some sort.


wow. that almost perfectly summed up my thoughts about modern technology and its intentions.


Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1031/


I used to feel the same way until I actually watched a Formula E race. The racing is incredibly close at times (I think last race had a 3 wide finish for the podium), and features like Fan boost make for a really engaging overall experience


Agreed, I’ve been to two formula e races in past years, and have tickets to another two this year. I’ve been to Formula 1 which was definitely something, but still enjoy FE for the racing.
