My parents are pretty much the same. Trying to get my dad to trust and/or use KMyMoney (or GNUCash for that matter) is like an uphill battle.

My family used to use Signal after the whole WhatsApp fiasco a few years ago. Everything was going fine until we switched back because of a family emergency. I suggested switching back several times after that, but to no avail :(

I remember having this exact conversation/ epiphany yesterday night with family

I have a few friends who know how to sew, and they all say it's an essential skill, and they did actu use that skill. I am also thinking of picking it up....

For context, me (and my friends) are all under 20

They no longer put [...] cigarette lighters in vehicles

I thought they still did? Just isn't referred as "Cigarette lighter" anymore?

This might be me being kind of pedantic, but this might actually be adwaita instead of LO. I've noticed on RNote (a GTK app that uses adwaita), that the save icon is as you described, whereas on KDE's breeze and oxygen icon themes (and I'm sure many others), the save icon is still a floppy.

The current Virtual Keyboard solution on KDE ( maliit ) isn't working quite as much as i'd like. It only works on GTK apps, and only sometimes shows. When it does, it won't relaunch after dismissal untill you kill it. Add to that it's not as feature-dense as its windows alternatives.

I hear that they are working on their own plasma-keyboard, and I hope that will fix most of these issues, but I haven't had the tim to update my system.

I installed power-profiles-daemon on my laptop (and configured it in the settings) a while back and noticed a bit better battery life. Maybe it could also be the kernel? I updated mine a while back and there was also an improvement.

Yeah, that is a big plus too (that, and the federation). This can hopefully mean that lemmy can never turn into what reddit currently is.

From a previous comment of mine on the same topic: 

I was browsing around on r/kde sometimes, and there was a banner-thing Saying that KDE Supported open platforms like Lemmy. I took a look at Lemmy's Wikipedia, and browsed around a few days later. I liked the stuff on c/programmerhumour, So I joined. Also my Reddit account got banned (i think, might be deactivated, idk) due to inactivity (I wasn't on for 2-3 years), and I didn't care to do anything about it. Also, as a bit of context for the above, it did take a while from hearing about Lemmy and browsing and joining.

I have recently switched to PieFed because it has a faster development cycle and more features (same username).

Tipping culture is just so companies can justify paying their workers less [than the minimum wage].
