Well, you sure sound upset, and you’re downvoting both me and the other guy who replied to you, so…

I don’t mind it being a rule, but I do mind it being a secret. It needs to be mentioned in the sidebar (probably as an addendum to rule #2).

You’re the one who’s upset about it.

Does this community not allow videos? I tried posting a link to it directly yesterday, but Automod removed it instantly.

One of @[email protected]’s comments linked to a bug report about it. Turns out the real reason is that Krita uses a plugin architecture that allows additional file types to be supported, so it can’t actually know the complete list of MIME types to put in the .desktop file at application install time.

Krita makes it possible for plugins to extend Krita with additional file format support. Those plugins come with a desktop file that tell the desktop that krita can load those file types. Of course Krita’s main desktop file cannot have the full list of supported file types, because that’s implemented by plugins. Most of those plugins are shipped with Krita, but that is not necessary. People can create extra import/export plugins that still need desktop files so your desktop can know that Krita can load this file format.

I’m not completely convinced that’s a good reason (compared to, say, having each plugin installation modify a single krita.desktop file or something), but I think it manages to upgrade it from “indefensible.”

Why don’t you file the bug report, since you apparently feel so strongly about it? Instead, you’re not even complaining but meta-complaining, which is even worse!

What exactly is wrong with Chromium?

It gives Google hegemony over web standards.

It still absolutely floors me that we’re even talking as if he’s eligible to run.

I literally haven’t bought gas in a month.

It’s more insidious than that: by adding it to all even when they don’t use AI, they give cover to people who are vibe-coding. “Nah man, I totally wrote it myself. VS Code just puts that message on everything.”

All leveraged buyouts ought to be illegal, not just this one.

I knew about the game but not the thought experiment that inspired it.

Does at least once per flight really count as “infrequent?”

I replace my 911 rotors and pads once every 6 years?

Tell me you’re wasting your 911 without telling me you’re wasting your 911.

The only single-point-of-failure is the brake pedal.

And even then, only on cars with those stupid electronic parking brakes instead of a proper mechanical emergency brake.

That doesn’t make UBI a bad idea. It makes allowing the ownership class to continue to exist a bad idea.

The sad thing is that Sony is multinational, and they weren’t prosecuted in Japan or anywhere else, either.

Do you mean that time they installed a rootkit on people’s PCs when they went to play (what was supposed to be) a music CD, or the time they retroactively and remotely sabotaged Linux on people’s Playstations?

Just wondering which massive felony that should’ve landed the entire C-suite in prison you’re referring to, since there was more than one.

I’m seconding the request for a writeup.
