The more data you have, the more confident you can be that the resulting categorisation is correct. If you're saying this is incorrect, I disagree with you. If you're saying absolute confidence that the categories themselves are correct is impossible, then I agree with you

The opposite result (predicting sex but not gender) would also be interesting but less so

I disagree. It could be wildly interesting if somebody born a male got a scan and it revealed a female brain. Dunno if "anti-trans" people would agree then that a sex-change is valid or if they'd disagree and start finding other excuses.

Zig isn't memory-safe

Maybe wobbly windows 🤔 But I haven't been up to date on windows effects ever since the cube disappeared.

He might have to kiss his presidenty-seeking ass goodbye then.

Close enough. Graphics are about equal

That would be a place to upvote and ask progress on. Do you have a link?

Would you have any idea where to find the financial statements? I could not find that information anywhere

Is there any reason to move away from Bugzilla?

UI and UX are terrible. Filing a bug against the right application is really difficult for me. Imagine how hard it is for the average user. Account creation is not easy (it sends you back and forth through multiple domains with multiple emails), finding the right project to file a report against takes a lot of clicks and guessing (is badly detected monitor a graphics problem, a desktop problem, a software screen configurator problem, a distro problem, or a linux kernel problem?), then it is not clear how to find or add logs, and I have never been able to get KDE's crash handler to send off a bug report.

Gitlab and Bugzilla are no the the only projects that exist for this. I don't have suggestions right now as I'm just describing my experience.

Also afaict the language thing is more of a choice than anything

It's a lack of choice. Qt's support is not the issue, it's KDE's support for Python that's the issue. Try writing a KDE widget or component in Python. Where is the KDE Python API documentation? https://github.com/KDE/pykde5 last commit is from 10 years ago. What is https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdev-python ? The README just says "read installation instructions".

KDE Frameworks only has documentation for "C++ with Qt and QML". The API documentation does not have a single mention of Rust nor Python.

You need a lot of donations just to hire one developer full time. There’s always going to be a lot more jobs in closed source software than in open source.

What I'm saying is that KDE could learn from Thunderbird. Imagine a budget of 6.5 million dollars for KDE. The money is there, it's in people's pockets, but there's a reason they don't donate to KDE.

I donate periodically to KDE, but my major gripe is that I don't know where the money is going. They have no financial reports that can be easily found, individual projects don't have a donation button, there's no public tracking of their income or expenditure like on opencollective, and it's not easy to find KDE devs (aka who is actually on the KDE team) so that one could sponsor individual devs.

Although I trust KDE more than Mozilla (MZ pays their CEO 7 million/year and invests in anything but Firefox, their most known project), I would much much much rather prefer it to know where the money goes.

Doesn't work for me either. Tried some other random language and it didn't work either, so I'm assuming only "Undetermined" works.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's because he's overloaded with messages, but if the lemmy community becomes large or loud enough not to ignore, then something might change.

Flakes are optional

I think the bigger point is that they are experimental. Who wants to go into production with experimental stuff? Unfortunately, if my employer were to read a suggestion of using experimental stuff in production, it would be immediately rejected.
nix itself, however, has been getting some people interested at work and if things go well, might be integrated into production solutions we sell to customers.
