    I find it annoying, because the hype means that if you’re not building a solution that involves AI in some way, you practically can’t get funding. Many vital projects are being cancelled due to a lack of funding and tons of bullshit projects get spun up, where they just slap AI onto a problem for which the current generation of AI is entirely ill-suited.

    Basically, if you don’t care for building useful stuff, if you’re an opportunistic scammer, then the hype is fucking excellent. If you do care, then prepare for pain.

    I believe, the problem is mainly white bread, which is what people typically have in mind for feeding ducks.

    As opposed to wholegrain, it only retains the endosperm, which is mostly just carbohydrates without many nutrients:

    I think, the lack of fiber is also particularly problematic. At least, I’ve heard that it gives them diarrhea, which probably means their guts don’t have time to extract the few remaining nutrients.


  • The description in the ticket isn’t too bad:

    allows users to make a window disappear and keep only its title bar visible.

    It really just hides the window contents. In effect, it is similar to minimizing a window, except that it doesn’t spring into your panel and rather stays in place as just the window title bar without the contents.

    It is a niche feature, if you couldn’t tell. But it isn’t some KDE specialty feature; various other desktops and window managers also support it. I think, it was more popular in the early days of graphical user interfaces, when we were still working out, how we want to do panels and such.

    And conversely, I do think it makes more sense as a feature on big screens like you can have today, where your panel might be quite a bit away.
    Don’t think, window shading will make a big comeback just yet, but yeah, probably enough existing users that use it, so that it would be cool to support that workflow.
