I really don't think it's a matter of "haters". It might be more logical and consistent if you have no other frames of reference, but most Plasma users come over from other OSs who all use double click (Windows, Mac, even Gnome). If a new user blindly tries KDE and keeps accidentally opening everything while trying to select it's just an immediate and big annoyance. It's not even clear that it isn't a bug because there is no clear explanation of how to select and how to open.

Edit: we are of course all used to single clicking on touch screens, but there it is contrasted with the long press to see options and some "select mode" for file management. There is no system that works exactly like Plasma single-click, which makes it disorienting.

No, there are those big plus signs appearing on the top-right corner of the icon, if you click there it selects instead of opening. I guess it's a matter of habit, I can't get used to it

The whole eating insects idea is motivated by carbon emissions and similar concerns: insect meal is around 60-70% protein (beans are around 30%, maybe bean meal is more but I have never seen it anywhere), and its cost in terms of emissions and land use is much smaller than either meat or plants (especially stuff like soy). Nobody is arguing that it should replace beans. Rather, it could help diminish meat consumption.

After 4 years on btrfs I haven't had a single issue, I never think about it really. Granted, I have a very basic setup. Snapper snapshots have saved me a couple of times, that aspect of it is really useful.

I broke it the same way years ago! And now I haven't updated openSUSE Tumbleweed in 4 months and I know I won't have any issues when I do, there's no rush!

Ok I admit I never thought about using ublock on thunderbird but it sounds interesting, could you explain what advantages it and those filters give? As far as I know TB already blocks some elements within emails for security and privacy purposes

This looks very promising, thank you very much! I'll try it as soon as I can

I did look it up, it's great and faster than my layout for the big languages – German, French, Spanish and Italian – because the accented letters are on the third and fourth levels directly and not written via dead keys, but it's harder to write most of the others like the Slavic languages (š, ů, ď, ł, ć, ̦ż, ą), Romanian (ș, ṭ, ă), Hungarian (ő, ű), Catalan ( · ), Azeri (Ə), Portuguese (ã), Turkish (ş, ţ, ğ, ı. İ) and Maltese (Ħ, Ġ). In EurKey each one requires Shift+AltGr+DeadKey+letter and a few are missing, while in my layout most of these require one less key. Of course this is not useful to most people, but I'm happy with it.

Dixie Dregs' 1975 debut album "The Great Spectacular", for some reason it is not considered a proper release, more like a demo, and is extremely rare in physical copies as well as online. Luckily I found what I believe is the only high quality rip in existance a couple years ago, it was a long search! Worth it, it's their happiest and most delightful work, just half an hour of Steve Morse's great and eclectic guitar work

I agree, all these preferences (currency, time, date, measurements) shouldn't need to fit in a determined locale box, but if you customize them it's possible to run into issues. I believe choosing English (Ireland) might solve your issue? Either that or I have found a way to customize it way back and then forgot.

That's great, enjoy your holiday!
