  • I am happy if someone uses AI first to come up with a coherent message, bug report, or question.

    LLMs do not add anything of value to bug reports, they add unecessary padding requiring me to filter out the marketing speech to get down to the issue. I would much rather have the raw brain dump of theirs.

    If somebody sends me their ChatGPT text I now ask them to send me their prompt instead so I don’t have to waste my time on their lengthy text that has the same amount of information as the original.

    I am annoyed if it’s ill-researched/understood nonsense, AI assisted or not.

    Being coherent is rarely the problem in bug reports, it’s the user not properly typing out what the actual issue is.

    I have gotten bullet point list bug reports that read like they were written by an insane person that were more useful than a nicely written ChatGPT message with 0 information in it.






  • The first one I think is a fundamental limitation in that display preferences by default is per-user. Maybe this makes it work for you? https://feddit.online/post/1350756/comment/6636228

    I don’t really have this problem anymore since I got rid of my projector which advertised a resolution it couldn’t handle. Had to login into the void since the login screen never showed up. Looks like this might be fixable nowadays.

    The 24h clock might be similar - check your system-wide locale.

    The locale is set to American English but the time format is set to German, something the lock screen can handle but SDDM cannot. I also tried applying the Plasma settings to SDDM a few times but it doesn’t really change anything.











  • The display looks great and mine doesn’t have the stuck pixel or the buggy lines issue you experienced

    They have since fixed that.

    though I do have very noticeable ghosting artifacts

    Unfortunately just the nature of the technology. If you’re just reading, DU4:3 works the best, for manga I use the full G:4 mode with screen refresh for every page flip enabled.

    I wrote some custom profiles for each (Default, Book, Manga, Notes, Notes (Landscape) which I have on my desktop, I can send you the scripts if you want.

    Couldn’t find a good way to use browsers on it yet since they all smooth scroll instead of jumping in fixed intervals.





  • So I’ve resigned to settling for any phone that’s cutting edge.

    If you drop the “cutting edge” condition instead, you could grab a Fairphone, which ticks all the other checkboxes.

    Unless you game on your phone, you won’t notice a thing between modern high end and low end phones as long as they put enough RAM in.

    Samsung is the opposite of everything you mentioned besides cutting edge.
