    This week in KDE: a smooth release

    [04:19] schestowitz

    Last Tuesday, the KDE Mega-Release came out, and Im happy to report that it went well. Initial impressions seem to be overwhelmingly positive! Ive been doing extra bug triage and social media monitoring since then to see if there were any major issues, and so far things look really good on the bug front too. I think our 3 months of QA paid off! So congratulations everyone for a jo [04:19] schestowitz b well done! Hopefully this should help banish those now 16-year-old painful memories of KDE 4. Its a new KDE now. Harder, better, faster, stronger!

He tried to replace the sensor but it turns out he tripped Samsung Knox, so now Samsung Pay never worked again, or the sensor.

[21:54] DaemonFC I traded that in for a full credit to a T-Mobile iPhone SE of the next model. [21:54] DaemonFC My Buick: He managed to program a key that didn't work and deauthorize the remote control too. Had to take it to Buick and pay again and then contact my bank to take the money back from Battery Asshole when he said no refunds. [21:55] DaemonFC This caused a fight to break out where he told my bank I was a crook trying to cheat an honest businessman. [21:55] DaemonFC And then I told them he was an incompetent moron who should have just handed me a refund if he was honest, at all, and that here's a letter from Buick to that effect.

[22:03] DaemonFC Every 6 months, I check all the other companies because checking is free, and when they do, they do an account review inquiry on your credit report, then your current company sees that when they go to check and realizes you're looking closely at everyone else's.
