Just discovered and fixed a (potentially serious) bug in Dolphin, KDE's file manager and generic file model:

Sorting by size would cause an unstable sort order under certain circumstances.

This sounds innocent at first, until you realize this also causes it to expand a folder's content into the wrong view parent: you expand folder A, but all its files show up below folder B.

You may think you're deleting an empty folder, but it's not actually empty 😟

RT @datenschutzratgeber Der Lehrerverband hat davor gewarnt, das Recht der Schüler auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung weiterhin zu beachten, schließlich hätten sich "zehntausende" Lehrer mittlerweile in Software-Produkte mit integrierter #NSA-Überwachung eingearbeitet, weshalb ein Umstieg auf Alternativen unmittelbar das Bildungssystem sowie die nationale Sicherheit bedrohen würden. Der Verband fordert daher einen EU-"Dexit" und einen Beitritt zu den USA, um rechtliche Probleme auszuräumen.

I have a video of the stream but apparently Mastodon requires videos to be at a certain FPS and rejects it.
