  • Proof by break: Before the break: “We will proof this theorem after a short break”, After the break: “As we have proven before the break…”
    Proof by unavailable literature: The prrof can be found in a publication only available by in-person request in one library of one university in Brno, Czechia. That closed 30 years ago.


  • Finally someone who sees things the way I do. I always hated it when after sports/p.e. my classmates would add the smell of cheap deodorant to the smell of their sweat. The sweat smell on its own would have been less offensive. (Provided it was relatively fresh sweat. But even in the case of days old rancid sweat, nothing can really take the place of plain old washing yourself.)










  • It lags for me whenever I access some filesystem that takes a while to respond. That could be a faulty or old device, or it could be an NFS share with multiple large file transfers going on in the background.

    And when I say it lags, I don’t mean it just takes a while to show me a directory’s content, I mean the entire UI freezes and kwin will grey out the window because tha application isn’t responding any more.

    This does not happen a lot, and if your file browsing is largely limited to a fast local storage, like a SATA SSD or even an NVMe, you may well never see this problem at all. But it does happen.



  • Okay, I’m generally on the side if dolphin UI-wise, but when it comes to the topic of lagginess, it has to be said that dolphin, and in fact, almost everything using the kio infrastructure, is the one shitting the bed here. You’d think a bit of multithreading will keep the UI from freezing up whenever the underlying I/O has some minor hiccup (which can absolutely happen in practice with network filesystems or USB sticks in combination with large file transfers), but apparently dolphin can’t do that.
