Snit, please make your next "Linux as crapware" videos using Linux on bare hardware
It won't change much - probably nothing at all - but it might eliminate a video or filesystem refresh issue here and there. Running Linux in a vm lets the cola losers /think/ they can dismiss the sad spectacle of their amateurish hobbyware failing at the basics, but running it from the hard drive will at least shut down that angle of kiddie denial from the "advocates". Plus, you'll get to learn about Linux screencasting! Thanks in advance!

There is nothing worse than being stuck with a Linux desktop system and no ability to click outside that VM to a quality system like OSX. -- flatfish+++ Linux: The Operating System That Put The City Of Munich Out Of Business.

Ho, friends again? Not nice! On topic: sure there are (mostly minor) bugs in KDE. So? That's more than sweetened by all the goodness you get from it. The last thing I did on my KDE desktop before I left work today was transfer a directory with SSL certificates from a Windows share to a Debian server, from one Dolphin tab to the other, just like that.

No OS should > require 8GB of RAM to run well. Yet the DAW and video guys swear by it. The gap is narrowing though, big time as some highly regarded cross platform programs, Cubase for one, have reputations for running better on Windows than OSX. Then there is the cost. Additionally there are companies that specialize in building DAW targeted boxes. And even if you don't use one of them, the Avid site (ProTools) forums have known to work perfectly builds you can copy. Make your shopping list and head to NewEgg or other. -- flatfish+++ Linux: The Operating System That Put The City Of Munich Out Of Business.

Why bother? You post links to legit bugs that users are having using Linux on bare hardware, and they're dismissed by the advocates anyway. If Snit makes the videos they'll find something else to nitpick about them. User error, wrong distro, Microsoft's fault, Apple's fault, the NSA used the actors from the fake Sandy Hook attack to add defects to Snit's video. There is nothing Snit can do that will shut down the advocates. So it seems pointless for Snit to take away time from his busy schedule of posting to make more videos that will just get the same reaction. Besides, even if Snit created the videos on real hardware, and all the bugs he found magically disappeared, what would that prove? Nothing, other than some small pedantic victory for Peter (the best kind of victory!). The problem isn't bugs in KDE or bugs in the OS itself. The problem is the craptastic applications. Couple the fact that most of the apps suck, with these other problems, and you get a really frustrating system for desktop users. The (lack of) quality of the apps is what makes Linux popular for many things other than desktop usage.

It's not about just transferring files. It's about the ease of use. On KDE I can access CIFS shares and SSH servers from one single program (and with a single click, thanks to bookmarks), and basically transfer files from anywhere to anywhere, regardless of the protocol (FTP, FTPeS, SFTP, CIFS, NFS...). On Windows one has to dick around with multiple programs to achieve the same. Same for OSX last time I used it (no way to access FTP or SSH via Finder, and CIFS was quircky).

This past weekend I did a bare metal boot of Linux and actually tried using it for daily desktop use. One of the first things I wanted to do was to use LibreOffice to create a simple chart. It failed miserably. (detailed in the "LibreOffice - "Crapware" would be an improvement" thread.) That's certainly the weak spot for Linux. The enterprise apps are fiine but end-user apps are mostly sub-par to what's available."Free" isn't such a bargain when the software doesn't work right. -- "It's Unix.

And that's what most users experience when they try Linux. The crappy end user applications. This makes them question their decision for leaving Windows or OSX in the first place.

True. Heck, many of the bugs I show I have reported. Here is how Peter

I make the videos as I work with Linux, but part of the reason was to get
used to new versions of my screencasting software. I am a beta tester and
often the videos are made during the beta or when they are asking their
testers for suggestions. When I am doing more "real" projects I tend to just
focus on the project and not report quirks I run into (though sometimes I
do). With these they are stand-alone videos and easier to keep track of the
quirks and lists of suggestions without breaking my work flow.
Does not mean I do not make these videos for the goal of making them and
showing people how Linux works. It is not as if there is only one goal,
though.

It definitely isn't. It's dicking around with multiple programs. And I don't have that inconvenience on KDE. It's all done with the default file manager. You don't see this as an advantage? Fine.

Why? Just add another partition or two to the system and let it dual boot.
Certainly a "premium PC" like a Mac has enough spare resources (IOW extra disk
space) to readily allow this.
It should be a simple matter really, unless Apple specifically makes the
prospect unecessarily difficult or problematic.

The problem with a VM is that it's going to suck resources away from
your host OS. You may not have it to spare. Some lesser Macs really don't
have it to spare. This can negatively impact both the host OS and the
guest OS too.
Unless you've got a bruiser of a box like a Mac Pro, I would not really
recommend running any VMs on Macs.

MacOS file sharing is rather unreliable.
Also, it's not nearly as abstract and "Unix-y" compared to the Linux
desktops. It's strange if you think about it. MacOS lacks a "unity of
interface" that Linux desktops have.
So much for all of that HID dogma.

And I > don't have that inconvenience on KDE. It's all done with the default > file manager. The big inconvenience: I have to click an icon on my Dock and then I get a UI specifically built for the purpose - with bookmarks, history, ability to copy the HTTP or FTP (or other) address, with a single click way to view items in a web browser, etc. Do not get me wrong: I would not mind Apple adding basic features to the Finder and the current status of its half-done FTP support is absurd. No defense for Apple on that... you can read but not write (maybe they figure that would take longer and confuse people... I do not know but find it stupid whatever their reason). I have not used it in some time, so maybe they have made it better - but I am sure if there were big changes I would have read about them on ars technica and the like. But even if Apple did make it more complete that would be good for people who just need it from time to time. I do a fair amount of uploading. I want a specialized tool that is focused on it. Cyberduck does that very well... and I would *not* want my Finder cluttered with all those options. Why would I? > You don't see this as an advantage? Fine. It is to me. A *huge* one. And I am OK with that, too. I am not saying you have to see it as I do - just noting how I would not want that type of clutter in the tool I use to work with my local system.

Windows and Linux run just fine on VMs. Well, some Linux distros. Others do not - such as Mint KDE would not even install though out Mint flavors would.

There's the important factor of /why/ you're running in a VM. If it's some attempt to benchmark performance then it makes no sense. But if it's to show some clear bug/issue with a app (bad dialog, wrong app opens file, etc) then running the app in a VM will (very, very) rarely make a difference. -- "I learned all my skills such as designing and building computers from scratch, writing operating systems using nothing more than binary and hex, and from that, general programming."

Exactly. I do not show benchmarks nor complain about the speed nor about
screen-tearing and the like. And when I do run into bugs TomB says are
possibly tied to the VM I add a notation to the video.
I also reported many of the bugs I showed... and the herd still lies and
denies. My favorite example:
---------------------------------------------------------------
<https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332544> Christoph Feck
-----
The tab widget is provided by the Qt library. Please report this
issue directly to Qt developers via

<https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-37812>
-----

Peter K�hlmann, in reference to that Qt library bug:

That stupid clown Snit Michael Glasser has not the tiniest of
clues who is to address with that "bug" ... It isn't a Qt widget
that incompetent "computer expert" is complaining about, it is a
KDE widget
-----
Peter K�hlmann claims Christoph Feck of the KDE team says things which prove
he is "incompetent" and "has not the tiniest of clues who to address with
that 'bug'".

You've stumbled upon a fine example of hypocrisy there.
HID dogma is important so long as Apple is percieved to have the
advantage and then suddenly not important otherwise.

Can you give an example of this? The idea of not mixing features into one program does not show this. Hey, I have an example: iTunes. Good grief Apple has tossed a ton into it. *That* is a example of Apple going against decent UI principles. And I am against it. No hypocrisy here. I also talked about how poorly done Apple's FTP features are in the Finder. Whole I would not want all the features of Cyberduck in the Finder (it would clutter things up and hurt usability), basic *write* features are missing. That is insane and I make no apologies for it. -- * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mavericks / Pages 5.1: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

I've said many times that a 1% desktop share for an OS developed by the community and distributed for free is an accomplishment in and of itself. There are a few rare cases of trolling and goofy comparisons sure, but for the most part, bringing up the quality of Linux and comparing it is in reaction to the advocates who insist it's on par with everything else, or the only reason it's not widely used is (*handwaving*) Microsoft. Also this group is "for the discussion of the positive and negative sides of Linux and comparison of Linux with other operating systems." So it's whole existence is for comparisons to proprietary offerings. You can talk about the strengths of Linux, and advocate Linux, without resorting to lying about the quality of desktop Linux and everything that comes with it. > Yes, I'm aware that the advocates insist the apps compete, but > that is beside the point I'm making here (it's equally goofy in > the other direction). That may be beside your point, but it's the entire point of this thread and the videos Snit made: to show bugs and shortcomings to the advocates who insist there aren't any.

For me what matters is how well a tool works and what it costs. But, sure, I expect a lot of open source software to work well - and to be as good or better than the proprietary counterparts. Off the top of my head: * Darwin: works great. * Linux: works great... likely technically superior to even Darwin. * WebKit: works great. * Blink: works great. * Apache: works great. * Cyberduck: works great. * Filezilla: works great. * VLC: works great. In each of these cases there are proprietary programs... and in each case the open source ones are as good or better. Does not mean these programs have no quirks - but they are all excellent and I use them because they are excellent. Being open source is no guarantee of quality, but it is not an excuse for being garbage, either. >> This makes *no* sense at all, yet, it's the cornerstone of trolling >> in COLA by people who don't mind looking like fools to make such >> goofy comparisons. > > I've said many times that a 1% desktop share for an OS developed > by the community and distributed for free is an accomplishment in and > of itself.

That's actually a pretty good pro-Linux point as 1% comprises a LOT of people.

It's all free stuff, any of it is, realistically, is a goofy case when your talking about looking at a app in an overall fashion ("craptastic applications").

They're as full of it as the people making the comparisons and some of them know it.

Comparisons in a specific sense make more sense. To say something like GIMP is 'Linux sh*tware' or some such as compared to Photoshop because it doesn't stand up to it in an overall fashion is pretty silly, isn't it?

It's not like that never happens, and it's not like there isn't a ton of BS coming from the trolling side of the table.

That I've seen, Snit is mostly talking about individual features in his videos.

Why? We can't compare a free application to a proprietary one because
we should expect the free one to be crappier? It's not like we're
talking about some middle schooler's class project that they released.
The developers of these apps and the advocates for them, want their
applications to be seen as on par with the proprietary offerings.
Is there a single post in COLA from someone who said GIMP shouldn't
be compared to Photoshop because GIMP is free and it's expected GIMP
wouldn't be as good? I can find plenty of posts where advocates
say GIMP is better that Photoshop. I can find plenty of posts where
advocates claim that there's no reason not to use Linux, since the
applications available are just as good. I don't see it as trolling
as much as it is a response to advocates who insist Linux is practically
perfect.
What should GIMP be compared to instead? In terms of my post and why
there are relatively few users of Linux, why is it not valid to look
at apps in an overall fashion?

Who does this anyway? When someone tries to suggest GIMP is comparable to
Photoshop I sometimes respond and note why it is not, but I also speak well
of GIMP. Who is Carroll even talking about?

That is also true. When I note KDE is a steaming pile of manure, I show why
- with videos. It is utter garbage. I also look at other DEs and speak
fairly well of them. Open source is not owed a pass for being free.

And I have noted where it has some advantages, say in how it works with
favicons (and how silly it is for Photoshop to be so bad here).

Yup. Any criticism is seen as a horrible attack. Others who use Windows and
OS X openly speak of the weaknesses of those products.

GIMP is better compared to Photoshop Elements and the like.

Here's a more sensical question:=20
Generally speaking, proprietary apps are created by teams of well paid deve=
lopers with a well focused plan and a sh*t ton of resources available to th=
em... so why *wouldn't* you expect the app they produced to be better than =
an app created in an environment where people are volunteering their time, =
plans are relatively scattered and they have extremely limited resources?=

That's all well and good but what they want is far removed from the reality=
of their development environment and their resources.

I already stipulated this in my first response.
> What should GIMP be compared to instead?
In this ng it's going to be compared to PS, obviously... but it isn't as go=
od as PS and we all know why (even the advocates who won't admit it). For f=
ree, GIMP is an amazing app but it's not in the same league. The only sens=
ical way to compare anything in it is to do just that, to isolate a given f=
eature for comparison. The totality of PS's features and the way they work =
together puts it on an entirely different playing field from GIMP. If this =
were not the case Adobe would have no PS sales.
> In terms of my post and why=20

> at apps in an overall fashion?
Because you're comparing two things for which it doesn't make any logical s=
ense to compare.
Can you name one best of breed Linux app, when taken in the total of its fe=
atures and how those features work together as they apply to the niche in w=
hich they are created (with respect to what they offer the end user in that=
given niche), that are better than the best proprietary app in that niche?=
Exactly... and no one else can, either (and, again, yes, I'm aware the adv=
ocates will claim otherwise).

A lot of open source software is as good and polished as proprietary software. From a past post: * Darwin: works great. * Linux: works great... likely technically superior to even Darwin. * WebKit: works great. * Blink: works great. * Apache: works great. * Cyberduck: works great. * Filezilla: works great. * VLC: works great. We should hold developers to high standards no matter what development model they use. We should also consider the cost. There are excellent FTP (etc.) programs I have not tried because they are not free. Maybe there is a better one than the one I use - but the one I use works very well and is free. That is a bonus. >> This makes *no* sense at all,yet, it's the cornerstone of trolling >> in COLA by people who don't mind looking like fools to make such >> goofy comparisons.Yes, I'm aware that the advocates insist the apps >> compete, but that is beside the point I'm making here (it's equally >> goofy in the other direction). > > If you're aware, why don't you question their lies and idiocy?

You're saying the exact same thing as me (minus the word "craptastic") but somehow I'm trolling and you're not? And of course the advocates will claim otherwise. Which is why it has to be pointed out to them that they are wrong, repeatedly. I'm still not entirely sure what you think the focus of this newsgroup should be. But I don't consider pointing out to the squealing advocates that the FOSS app they claim is better than a proprietary one, really isn't, to be trolling. I don't post frequently, and don't see every post, but if I do see an advocate make the claim, then I'm going to respond. It's not about what I expect of FOSS, it's about what the advocates claim versus the reality of the situation.

IIRC it was something like "Undo: Move". This one I don't consider to be a bug at all. Not the best way to do it, sure, but definitely not a bug. The menu option to put stuff in the trash is called 'Move to trash', so the 'Undo: move' make perfect sense. But something like 'Undo: trash item' would be better indeed. >> So?

Again, from memory, I think it was more like this: Would have to re-check, but from memory: * Move an item to the trash: it says this can be undone. * Empty the trash: it warns you this cannot be undone. Then it says it can still "undo" the move - but it cannot. The file has been deleted. If I recall correctly, though, the pop-up notification even tells you it is done when it has not been. That silly notification popup is useless given how it is wrong so often. Having the system lie to you repeatedly does not exactly build confidence (and I do not mean simplifying things or using non-technical terms, I mean directly lying to you as KDE does). >>> So? That's more than sweetened by all the goodness you get from it. >> >> We're not talking about your wife here, fella... > > Hey, you know us Linux geeks, right.

Ha, that's the one you mean. That's actually a misunderstanding. What
happens is the following:
* user creates new item from context menu
-> internally this is a copy operation (it copies the empty
from another location)
* user moves item to trash
* user select 'undo: copy' from the 'edit' menu
-> at this point the last undoable action is still the copy
operation that occurred when creating the new file, because
there is no 'undo: trash' option
While this is technically very sound, from a user perspective indeed
it is very clumsy and confusing, and I can agree that it is a (minor)
bug. The fix would be to obfuscate the copy operation that occurs when
creating a new file, and don't register it in the undo history at all
*or* list it as 'undo: new item'.
In the meantime an 'undo: trash' has been added to Dolphin, but the
above bug still occurs when 'undo: trash' is no longer the last
undoable item, leading to an even more confusing situation.
Truth be told, even with using KDE very often (almost daily), I never
stumbled against this bug, because it is not a typical thing to do
(which is why I consider it a minor bug).
And for the record: I'm not excusing this bug. It is a real one, and
deserves to be reported, but I definitely don't think that it makes
KDE 'a mess'.

It can if that Linux computer happens to run samba, sharing the
directory I want to copy to. AFAIK the only things Explorer can do
these days are local and CIFS, and nothing else (not even FTP anymore,
like it could in the past).
Plus of course the lack of tabs. That's a big one.

But notice even you, who uses KDE, gets confused by this. Even worse, if you delete it by emptying the trash you are told you cannot undo it - but here you are not. Why not?

Can you drag things from one tab to another in KDE? If I recall correctly you cannot - but would have to double check. OS X handles this very well. You can also drag a tab from one window to another, disconnect and reconnect tabs, close multiple tabs with the mouse without "chasing Xs", etc. Would have to review, but KDE was a lot clunkier with this. And then the tabs with different apps, while a great idea, worked in a very different way. Just a mess. -- * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mavericks / Pages 5.1: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

The fact that Snit can find so many issues proves it. Not when done in a VM. I've seen some Windows weirdness on a VM in OSX. There's no reason to believe that Linux is immune to such things. If he wants to prove it he needs to take your suggestion.

Compare that with reasonable people... if you say OS X has such-and-such flaw I am happy to listen. I also speak of many myself. Others who use Windows do the same with their preferred OS. This is not a religion. It is an OS preference. >> The fact that it's right there in all of its mediocrity for all to see >> is a great thing. > > Some of it is just plain untested, or it's tested and known to be bad > but they don't care. The fact that Snit can find so many issues proves it. Find them without even trying that hard. I was blown away by how bad KDE was.

What you expect, i.e. undoing a real delete, is an extremely uncommon expectation. Because of this expectation, you cannot grasp that the 'undo: copy' menu item is not related at all to your delete operation, and that it is definitely not meant to undo your file deletion. >> And for the record: I'm not excusing this bug.

Just drop a file on the tab you want to copy to, and it asks you if you want to move, copy or link there. But that's not the thing. The thing is that I can move files around using a wide range of protocols. The change that I have to launch (or even install) a different program to transfer files to some remote location is very slim (actually I never had to, unlike under Windows). And there's no clutter whatsoever in the file manager because of these extra features. You either click on a pre-made bookmark, or you enter the location URL into the locations bar (smb://server, fish://server, ftp://server...). No clutter whatsoever. An easy to use file manager, which can access files using many protocols. A *huge* boon for me. Another thing: the extremely useful way to multi-select (or deselect) files with the mouse only. Very handy, and I have never seen this in another environment. > OS X handles this very well.

Of course those work in a different way; it's an application feature vs. a window manager feature.

Given how you say you assumed this was a move to trash operation it seems you should have expected the last undo to move the file back from the trash. Without testing, I believe this works in KDE.

Yes, in the video I missed that but have spoken about it since. I focus more on the fact the system asks if I want to *delete* a file when I select to undo a copy, and then if I tell it to do so anyway it says it fails. The system repeatedly misleads and even lies to the user. This is a pretty big deal. .... >>> It can if that Linux computer happens to run samba, sharing the >>> directory I want to copy to.

Just drop a file on the tab you want to copy to, > and it asks you if you want to move, copy or link there. But it does not open the tab so you can copy it to a sub-folder in the tab. This seems a pretty big weakness to me (a lack of a feature, not a bug). To me this is another sign of the checkbox mentality of the KDE team - a bunch of features but they seem half-complete. > But that's not the thing. The thing is that I can move files around > using a wide range of protocols.

But when you work with a remote location you may very well have different needs.

It is a feature of the system... for a user it does not matter how it is implemented. Especially for the file manager which is generally seen as the "system" this is a pretty big usability error.

OK, very quick view before I run off... so admit there could be some errors.
So be it:
0:25 Lies about find options.
0:55 Lies about the up arrow allowing me to go up. We see this again.
2:02 Lies about number of files.
2:23 Lies about a folder existing (it later admits it does not exist).
2:45 Lies about a file being copied that was not. This is after I
asked it to create a new file - not copy one.
3:27 Lies about there being a way to compare files (apparently you
need other software for this to work).
3:45 Lies about me asking to delete a file when I asked to undo a copy.
4:00 Lies about letting me delete something that it later says
does not exist
That is with a quick look and some might be defendable as "technically
correct" but most clearly are not. It is also in a way deceptive on some
level to have the same widget do different things, as I show elsewhere.

And of course Unicode is no issue at all.

Where "bizarre" means creating and deleting and keeping track of files - which the Dolphin shitware failed at (put 3 files in a folder and the crapware only reports 2. Delete a file and the last Undo says Copy). It's just untested hobbyware produced by amateurs with no job on the line, no boss, no budget, no development timeline.

So use your Voldermort software and prove it. And explain why these bug

Delete a file and the last Undo says Copy). Where "bizarre" means creating and modifying files in the trash, as if the trash were just another folder. Where it means the things you snip and ignore: I don't see what his BFD is about doing nutty manipulations with files that have been moved to the trash. You either restore them or delete them permanently. In his videos he's doing modifications on the files as if the trash were just another folder. Get them out of the trash if you want to modify them! He deletes a file permanently and then wonders why undo can't bring it back? He's nuts. Windows won't let you do any of his manipulations with files in its trash. You can't even see the contents of a folder in the trash to check what it has before you permanently delete them. Where's the undo in Windows to restore items that were deleted in the Recycle Bin? > It's just untested hobbyware produced by amateurs with no job on the > line, no boss, no budget, no development timeline. It's laughable. If only your repeated lies were laughable. They would have some value than. So Snit has been accepted into flatfish and your club? I knew that would happen eventually.

To bad you deny they are bugs. Of course, when you try to speak of them

A 1.1 year old version is plenty current - so you fools can't use that excuse. It's slightly possible some of his bugs were caused by running it in a vm. Soon I'll install a distro (to hardware) and load the latest KDE/Dolphin and see if I can replicate some of his glaring bugs, issues and inconsistencies. One thing's for sure: when I do confirm them, it won't stop you lying cola idiots from dismissing the repeated proof. >> It's just untested hobbyware produced by amateurs with no job on the >> line, no boss, no budget, no development timeline.

When, not if? We should believe a known liar who has already decided what the outcome of his "test" will be, and accept it as "repeated proof?" Good job of shooting yourself in the foot though. I don't expect you have any toes left, after all the times you did that...

What lies? If you stopped harassing him and following him as you brag about doing to at least 12 forums you would not even be a topic of conversation. Your real issue is how he ignores you. That is why you fantasize about Slimer, me, and others being Snit. You need him to complete your life. When you are not seeking a mother-figure to fulfill your sick oedipal complex you are fantasizing about Snit's cock up your ass. http://www.seniorpeoplemeet.com/v3/externalsearch/singles?Profile=1AE1BDAAFC6D6F08ACA0C235BB8ED21D&Username=STEVECARROL "About the one I'm looking for...

You were asked to quote where I state how skilled I am. You failed. You
simply are spewing insults - showing how you feel about *yourself* and your
own lack of accomplishments.
Your response will likely be to try to boost how wonderful you are in some
other way. Whatever. You are demonstrating your own lack of self worth.

If you had *any* clue whatsoever about linux you would know that. KDE gets updated every few weeks. Even a 3 month old version could show "bugs" which are already no longer present in the current version. A KDE more than a year old (as is yours) *is* a *very* *old* KDE indeed The lying imbecile is you, Snit Michael Glasser: Nothing you claim can be taken as being true. Absolutely nothing

How true. Part of what makes COLA such an "interesting" place is sitting back and watching these Linux loons going to extreme lengths to Lie for Linux.

Nothing. Can I count on you hypocritically whining about an old post? Like =
I've said before, you can't shake a stick at the Google archive without som=
e of your BS falling out... here's some now (from that thread). Hmm, "inter=
esting", it's a claim of 'quoting' Znu, without providing any links, natur=
ally. You wrote (and quoted to your detriment), the following:
--
But it is easy to quote ZnU noting where DW does not handle semantic CSS:
ZnU
-----
These sorts of tools basically died a much-deserved death in
professional markets years ago with the rise of semantic HTML
and CSS. Particularly using WYSIWYG tools to create HTML that
developers are going to have to work with directly just seems
cruel.
-----
Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG features are worse than useless for
constructing modern semantically structured pages with
CSS-based layout
-----
It merely presupposes that people creating semantic HTML +
CSS layouts aren't going to be using Dreamweaver. Which, if
you understand how useless it is to this task, is not an
unreasonable thing to assume.
-----
Similarly, it is quite possible that the Dreamweaver
interface effectively encourages writing non-semantic code
even as DW training materials warn against it.
-----
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/yZf9FaA1Gy=
0/XhGAJhwZfP8J
This is a blatant lie, of course. Nowhere, in any of these alleged 'quotes'=
(providing they are even real) does Znu claim that "DW does not handle sem=
antic CSS". Very much to the contrary of this lie, Znu acknowledged that DW=
could simply be used as a text editor if needed and CSS could 'handle' it =
that way. But the more important point was that he right to assert that it =
didn't handle it properly "automatically", which is what he was talking ab=
out above and which is probably why you didn't cite this post from the same=
thread:
"CSS layout works, of course, by writing rules that might be attached to in=
dividual elements, but that are applied in the context of the entire docume=
nt, taking into account rules attached to other elements and what the defau=
lt positioning of elements would be. With CSS there are many ways to place =
an element in a specific location, and they have different implications for=
how other elements interact with it, what happens when the user scrolls or=
resizes the viewport, etc. There isn't really a workable way to, say, drag=
elements where you want them in a WYSIWYG interface, and have sensible CSS=
automatically written to reflect those choices.
AFAIK Dreamweaver doesn't even really try to solve this problem; its CSS la=
yout features are based around using manually written CSS templates." - Znu
What's most notable, though, and what highlights your disingenuous position=
is your followup post, one only needs to see the first sentence to spot yo=
ur BS:
"What tool are you using that does try to solve this problem for the design=
er?"
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/yZf9FaA1Gy=
0/pdON9vNCzEAJ
Gee, Snit... why are you seen asking Znu this question if you don't agree w=
ith or, at least, understand his position (that he stated a number of ways =
throughout that thread... just for you)? Bottom line, you lied and I call =
it a lie because you *kept* repeating something you were told and even ackn=
owledged you were "wrong" about. You wouldn't have ever asked this question=
if you weren't just being your disingenuous (lying) self.

Perhaps - but if he found someone maybe he would obsess over me less. It really is a sickness for him... and likely one of the reasons he has not found anyone yet. Assuming you were single, would you want to date a woman who was obsessed about someone online she had not even met face to face and did not even read her continual comments?

It would > be glaring obvious that he uses a very old version then Another bullshit Kohlmann lie about KDE being "very old". When Snit made those videos, he was using the very latest Mint available (v16), which was probably using the very latest KDE available at that time. Your incredibly lame version excuse is pathetic, but it's all you have. The shittiest software on the planet can't be defended. Windows Explorer has never - in its entire history - had the kind of bugs and issues and inconsistencies Snit found in KDE/Dolphin in 2013/2014. As I alluded to in my first post in this thread, anyone doing testing or comparing should reveal every detail that's relevant: distro name and version, desktop name and version, Dolphin version, in a vm or not (Snit hid that on purpose - he purposely chopped off the top and bottom of the screen).

"At that time". 3 month later it was outdated if not constantly updated to the last version. Once again for the mentally impaired (you are one of them): With my current KDE version I do *not* have the issues about file/directory creation or undoing you stupid bozos keep crowing about. The "Snit issues" of his videos are of no interest at all to me. After I found the first doctored video I knew what to expect. Nothing but lies

I once posted screen shots of the Nvidia permissions problem where you couldn't save the monitor/card settings. Of course the Linux loons claimed "works for me" and the screen shots were faked. Then I posted links to others having the problem and they claimed I was seeding the help groups. Finally I posted links to the bug being reported and acknowledged at which point they went silent and ran away. It's what they do. They can't advocate Linux on it's own merits and they can't accept Linux's problems so the net result is problems move from distribution to distribution and version to version without getting fixed. -- flatfish+++ Linux: The Operating System That Put The City Of Munich Out Of Business.

Quit trying to defend the indefensible - that's a cola chump move. vm issues would have no effect on the vast majority of the bugs and issues and inconsistencies in the videos.

I do not hide it, I simply am showing the UI screen, I have it set to be 16:9, which is common. To include the VM titlebar would make it not be that and would make details harder to see.

Sure, running Mint KDE in a VM makes it pop up all sorts of dishonest claims about files being copied when they were not and the rest. Idiotic. It may very well been tied to some mouse errors - TomB made that claim and I noted it in the videos. No other specific problem I show in the videos has even been suggested to be a bug from running in a VM. -- * Mint MATE Trash, Panel, Menu: <http://youtu.be/C0y74FIf7uE> * Mint KDE bugs or Easter eggs? <http://youtu.be/CU-whJQvtfA> * Mint KDE working with folders: <http://youtu.be/7C9nvniOoE0> * Mint KDE creating files: <http://youtu.be/N7-fZJaJUv8> * Mint KDE help: <http://youtu.be/3ikizUd3sa8> * Mint KDE general navigation: <http://youtu.be/t9y14yZtQuI> * Mavericks / Pages 5.1: <http://youtu.be/D3BPWANQoIk> * OS / Word Processor Comparison: <http://youtu.be/w6Qcl-w7s5c>

Negroponte wants to dump linux and make Windows the sole OS on the OLPC laptop
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080422/hundred_dollar_laptop.html?.v=2 <quote> For about a year, however, Microsoft has been working to get a slimmed-down version of Windows to run on XO laptops. As a result, Negroponte said Tuesday that he expects XOs to soon have a "dual-boot" option, meaning users would be able to run Windows or Sugar. Eventually, Negroponte added, Windows might be the sole operating system, and Sugar would be educational software running on top of it. That might disappoint advocates of open-source software who helped bankroll OLPC and cheered the challeng...

Poor people forced to use linux. Linux "bounties" a scam!
There was a story on the news tonight that a local Linux User Group is refurbishing computers with the Linux operating system in order to distribute them to poor people. It is unfortunate that people can actually be subjected to this kind of treatment just because of their income level. Forcing poor people and their children to use Linux will set them back in the corporate world because they won't be exposed to Windows which is used in every company. This puts them at a disadvantage when applying for work. They will be exploited by the GNU cult into creating software for "free&quo...

Found this interesting transcript <http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/04/unabridged-selective-transcript-of.html> of a talk given by Richard Stallman while he was over in the West Island recently. Among other things, he explains why he wants people to use the term "GNU/Linux" instead of "Linux" when referring to the operating system: However after people started using essentially the GNU system with Linux added, and called it Linux, it no longer led then to the philosophy associated with GNU - the philosophy of free software. Instead o...
