IMHO, if they purchased the books etc, it's fair because, for me, it's like a biological neural network (i.e human) reading and watching the contents and memorizing them.

A bit off topic about the word "lahar", we Indonesians use that word to mean "lava", and we use "lahar dingin" (lit: cold lava) to mean volcanic mudflow.

lately I saw a post [1] about Doorman Fallacy [2]. I strongly believe this is another example of that.

Re:Turbo Vision 2.0 – a modern port on Saturday April 25, 2026 @02:19AM (#47899160)
I am still wishing for the "real" Turbo Vision, the Pascal version because the C++ one is more like a port of the Pascal one.

"Uses" is keyword in Pascal, for example, so "including" a module by "#define"-ing feels like a "hack"

I guess it doesn't matter, nowadays.

Re:KDE at 30 on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @11:05PM (#47858393)
happy to know that KDE has thrived for this long. It was my first DE I used from around 1998. And any time I use linux distro, I tend to gravitate to Kubuntu, although I find Gnome based Ubuntu quite nice. My only grief for KDE Plasma (at least until 2 years ago, I only use mac at home and Windows at work) is a lot of space wasted in its widgets.

I still smile every time I remember fictional interview with Konqi, and it said that its footprint grew to be a full blown DE.

Hope KDE continue to thrive, and also Calligra's quality and popularity to increase
