Re: [kde] Tell who did you PAY to include Akonadi?
On Sat, 31 Mar 2012 16:08:46 -0700 (PDT) John Woodhouse articulated: From: randomm...@mac.hush.com randomm...@mac.hush.com To: kde@mail.kde.org Sent: Saturday, 31 March 2012, 1:51 Subject: [kde] Tell who did you PAY to include Akonadi? There is Linus Torwalds. And there is me. I was born at the same holiday as him. And I will be talking as he. Who did you PAY to include AKONADI? Who was this *** MORON who decided that people need it? Tell us all the users of KDE How much money did you get to say this *** shit about it it useful. Please tell us the truth if not you are anyway MORONS. I personally don't think there is much wrong with it other than it's clearly crap software that needs writing by some one who knows what they are doing when low level functionality and speed is needed and the rest of the machine needs to carry on functioning. It smacks of c++ high level app programmers. The whole area stinks. I was utterly gob smacked when I found out what was being stored away and since I have disabled that general problem my machines still goes away at times and the drives clunk away for at least 5 secs. At it's shortest when that happens I type ahead by 3 to 4 characters - that makes me wonder what the hell is going on. Just how can something interfere with the keyboard to screen timing and hope people wont notice. It's worse than the response i would expect from an acoustic modem plus teletype and mediocre junk on the other end. What do I have running. kmail sometimes, maybe a couple of minimised okulars and opera with anything up to 20 tabs and maybe one or two other opera windows. I use opera because it's a reasonable replacement for konq. It has similar capabilities tab wise. They have also usefully replaced a toolbar with a drop down. I should add not running kmails makes no real difference. :-) well lol I am still on the same open suse I mentioned last time. Why. well I have rolled back changes to kernal functions that allow me to access a nas - totally crippled for no really good reason rather than being killed at the users request when they need it. The alternative is to sit there and wait for kde or what ever to get a server up and running - why I don't know cause I very definitely don't need it. Not that it works very well when it's running either because of more crippling elsewhere. If I can't click launch a pdf or a video from a nas or save to it I ain't interested in it. And no upgrade above all because it works. Use the kde facility at your peril - the distro one aint that safe either. I'm only using it all because I like what's left of kde. The screen effects are attractive as well. I even find them useful. Oh and I have to reboot occasionally but fortunately not very often. The machine going awol is so extreme by the way that the graphics effects get turned off occasionally. I have also had little messages pop in the past stating that things are getting a little busy down there. Not sure where maybe it's in Australia . I suspect that may have been removed at some point but wonder about the overhead involved in monitoring it. Additionally of late I have to refresh a browser window after clicking on a pdf usually as result of a google search. If I don't a subsequent click on a pdf does absolutely nothing. I don't think this is down to opera. And the other problems most definitely aren't. It is my opinion that there is no clear road-map for KDE. To many KDE supplied applications either work poorly or don't work at all. Part of the problem is they they are trying to support to many architectures / operating systems. If they focused on one I think they would be able to produce a better product. It has been my observation that every update corrects one existing problem but exposes a new flaw. Obviously, thoroughly testing is not part of the KDE's team focus. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

So if anyone wants to contribute user level documentation for any of those software components they are very welcome to do so. My understanding is that this is a rather straight forward process, basically just logging into userbase.kde.org and creating a new page or adding to an already existing one. That a mere mortal user _can_ contribute documentation doesn't account for the knowledge of what to write. I assumed that it was obvious that writing about some topic required some knowledge about it as well as some writing skills and a decent mastery of the target language. Of course somebody without the necessary skills or information, a mere mortal user as you put it, can't contribute that way. Doesn't make the contribution process less open. And personally I don't by this characterisation at all. Most people have decent writing skills and more knowledge than they might take credit for. It's the devs who know what capabilities and methods for utilizing them are being put in, not ordinary users, no matter what writing talents they have to offer. Creating something is not the only source of knowledge about that something. Granted Stephen Hawkins or other great physists are probably the primary source of information regarding current phyiscs theories, yet I doubt that any one of them wrote the wikpedia page on string theory. I doubt many users with the urge to contribute have the clairvoyance to know what the devs are thinking or the talent to read sources to figure out what to write. I doubt that as well. Yet magically way more complex things get written about on wikipedia. Maybe that's what those Nobel price winners do in their labs all day. Or maybe I am the only person who doesn't know all about string theory and everyone else could have easily written those wiki entries. A somewhat less plausible theory is that someone with interest in such an advanced topic had read some books or even research papers on that topic and created the wiki pages based on what they've learned. Maybe someone who wrote such a book or paper even bothered to correct mistakes or misunderstandings. But as you already showed, mere mortals don't read books or papers on advanced physics so it must have been those Nobel laureats. It is a well accepted fact that the worst writer for a specific project is usually the person who designed the project to begin with. They usually fail to grasp the simple concept that someone is not able to grasp a simple to them concept. Professional writers who specialize in writing documentation spend a great deal of time with both the author/developer of said device or software and then observe over an extended period of time just what happens when a normal user is exposed to the device/software sans any written instructions. This is fundamentally different from an author submitting a document on string theory for Wikipedia. That author has very likely studied the subject at length in a university or some other institute. He/she did not just pluck the knowledge out of thin air. I will agree with one of your statements however, specifically the reference to mere mortals and advanced physics. After graduating from college, the average individual will never again read a book on advanced physics or even calculus for that matter. I am sure you are familiar with the phase, A poorly written help manual is worse than no manual at all. The same applies here. Misleading or incomplete information is worse than no information at all. FOSS sans concise documentation has been its albatross since day 1. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

I currently use SOGo as groupware server besides my cyrus imap server and afaik only thunderbird and kmail2 are able to handle CalDAV/CardDAV correctly (on Linux). I no longer want to handle addresses and appointments in different programs separately. Interesting. I use Claws-Mail myself and am quite happy with it although, like I guess about any other program you can name, there is definitely room for improvement. Out of morbid curiosity, did you ever try to contact the CM developers directly and voice your concerns? I have done so in the past with some limited success. I don't expect them to jump just because I ask them to; however, they did address a few concerns that I had. Perhaps contacting them yourself or posting a suggestion or feature desired request on their bugzilla or mail forum might prove useful. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[kde] Re: OT Language (was Re: lost Desktop)
On Fri, 15 Jul 2011 19:44:20 + (UTC) Duncan articulated: Anne Wilson posted on Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:39:57 +0100 as excerpted: We have two types of adjustable spanner (not sure if both types are still available) - one that is adjusted by thumbing a wheel, and the other has separate jars, which are adjusted by putting in a pin, rather like a belt buckle. I've never known what that one was called. I think they are not made any more, but David, my husband, still likes that one for some jobs. Is that similar to your crescent wrench, or something different? The crescent wrench has a thumb-wheel (apparently often called a Bahco in parts of Europe, see the trademark note and the leaflet link at the bottom of the page). See the two illustrations a the top right, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescent_wrench That page also has an illustration of an English key, and older design not as common today, at least in the US. This one is said to be the original monkey wrench design. There's a couple other variants on the same thing as well. A pipe wrench (Wikipedia says Stillson's, in UK/AU) is one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_wrench There's also the plumber's wrench, which is a cross between a pair of pliers and a an English key. These aren't common in the US, but I found one at I think one of the dollar stores (Vietnamese run I think, possibly the reason they had them) and bought it. Most such buys are worthless, breaking almost immediately, but I hadn't seen this type myself before, so I was interested and thought I'd try it. It turned out to be surprisingly sturdy for a buck, but did eventually break. Had I known about them, I might have bought several (especially for a buck each! ) as it turned out to be quite useful and I was rather disappointed when it finally broke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumber_wrench But I don't see anything illustrated with a pin-based design and I don't recognize the description. If you could find some sort of illustration, I'd love to see it. =:^) You couldn't be referring to a monkey wrench: could you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_wrench -- Jerry ✌ kde.u...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
