A match made in hell
I read somewhere that the reason Churchill became prime minister was because when we was the Foreign Minister, he never trusted Hitler from the beginning. He knew that Hitler was known to break agreements and thus could not be trusted, while the rest of the British parliament ignored him and believed that Hitler won't do anything if he's not provoked.
It was only after Germany invaded Poland that the British parliament finally believed him and he rode that support to become prime minister.

I think it was more like 7 years, not 20.

Who needs stable, feature-rich desktops anyway
It's hard to believe that KDE used to be considered one of the worst DEs around and now it's like Gnome is getting worse while KDE is getting better and better.

DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube.
One of the best addons you can get. Period.
It's like a paradigm shift when you browse YouTube after enabling it.
This plus using ublock to remove useless UI elements makes for a prime disenshittified YouTube experience.

Endeavour does it for me.
No nonsense arch setup without any bells and whistles.

Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian?
As for why they adopted KDE, they probably discovered how hard it is to work with Gnome developers.

What are devs displaced by AI going to do in the future? Is there an actual plan?
You seem like someone who hasn't really worked in software development.
Software engineering does not simply mean coding. A production grade software application goes through analysis, design, implementation (where coding happens), testing (several phases), release and maintenance. Not to mention infrastructure concerns (storage, databases, microservices, service orchestration, middleware, etc). The whole process is too nuanced and complex to conclude that AI would make the whole career obsolete. It might shake up some areas of software engineering but only a small part of it.
You'll still need people to verify that the AI generated application actually behaves as per the business logic, runs optimally with the hardware you have and scales as your business grows. Which means engineers for testing and reviewing the generated code plus engineers to setup the infrastructure where the application will run.

TIL the pyramids are closer in time to stegosaurus than we are
The time it took for man to shift from bronze swords to iron swords is longer than the time it took to shift from iron swords to the nuclear bomb.

Hyprland is now fully independent!
Does this have something to do with the author being banned from freedesktop?

Linux is the reason Windows apps are bloated these days
Aren't Qt and GTK cross platform? I have Dolphin and Kate running on my Windows work laptop.

I'm pretty sure Bill Gates was not the first to do so, but he was a major driving force.
Earlier, there was a trend of code sharing in magazine, BBSs, etc. So someone wanting to make a business selling software had to deal with rampant piracy. Software licenses didn't really exist back then. So if you "bought" a program you could share it with others because since you bought it you "owned" it and could do anything with it.
Bill Gates then famously wrote an open letter to the programming hobbyist community in 1976 criticizing the code sharing practice that conflicts with those trying to sell software. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists
