For a media PC GNOME is goated, specifically their overview! One button on the “magic remote” mouse to easily switch between desktops, windows, control basic settings, and launch other applications is awesome. Generally prefer KDE and did choose it this time when reinstalling the media/coach-gaming machine, but really wish there was anything like GNOMEs overview on KDE.

(Yes, the Plasma overview is awesome, but you can’t launch new apps from it without typing).

Except if the AI companies get what they want, and age/id verification goes through globally as seemingly planned, and they get a convenient “this is safe to train on” stamp on all their data.

The death of online privacy for most/all, better training for the models they use to manipulate public opinion, easier protection against scrapers (can’t have your competitors stealing the things you’ve stolen first) and a sweet deal for the advertisers that can rest easy knowing their ads are shown to real people.

Yay.

I think that was the reason he gave for using clippy?

“Clippy didn’t spy on you, he just wanted to help”, as a contrast to copilot etc.
