Is this actually a bug though? I just don't think krunner or many other calculators for that matter use delimiters anymore. Therefore, the only thing it is changing based on regional settings is the use of the comma or period to denote a decimal.

I could be wrong considering I had a bit of trouble understanding the post. I just bring this up because in American English there are no delimiters for thousands place or above either.

Also I don't see how from this post the decimal point is wrong. Sure it is simplified to one decimal place, but again many calculators do this. Perhaps op simply needs something that provides more fine grained control over number formatting than what krunner is supposed to.

Seems like they are making a big deal out of nothing. This isn't one of those instances where a false sense of security is being presented. If whatever tool that the user is using to test their ad blocking capabilities isn't adequate. They will very quickly figure that out when they still get ads. How does any of this result in "Doing more harm than good"?

i didn't have to configure it to do anything. paired the devices manually like normal while being on different networks. syncthing figures out the rest.

Syncthing does work across the internet. It uses nat hole punching to achieve this. Unless your network is behind cgnat / double nat I believe. Me and my buddies use it all the time.

For across the web I use syncthing.

It is a wayland feature to request access to allow for remote control of the device. In this case specifically for input. It shouldn't be happening every 15 minutes. That is a problem with whatever app you are using that keeps requesting this permission?

You can configure the kde clipboard manager to never delete things or keep a higher amount of things. That is how I have mine setup.

Again the type of people who probably visit communities like this know that. If the profile is accurate and they know that these people are more resistant to these kinds of tactics. Isn't just a waste of money to bid on showing that person an ad in the first place. I personally don't even connect my tv to the internet and I run linux, so I doubt either of said devices are talking to anything. Ads outside that someone play your favorite song would need to build a profile on you on your digital devices and then somehow correlate that to you the individual when you go into stores.

I know you said you don't think are all the way there, but without getting facial recognition involved. I don't see how they would correlate the two in the first place. Even then there are still holes, but that is besides the point. My main point is that someone whom meets the criteria that I described in my first comment seems like a waste on money to advertise to if you are one of the advertisers who are bidding on these spots.

Why is it that if they have this information and build these supposedly accurate profiles about you that they would still be willing to show ads at all to the kind of people who are likely to frequent this community? For example, if someone who runs linux, adblockers, firefox with strict profile, etc, etc is being broadcast to these advertisers. Why would they want to bid for advertising space for that person at all?
