      Stupid computers, always doing what you tell them, never what you want. Guess that’s changing.

        Autocorrect/fuzzy search have been available on mobile phones and search engines since what, 10 years? 20?

          Probably longer. But still someone had to go tell the machine how to do it. And AI has shown us how hilariously wrong that can go when taken to extremes.

    Are we going to get the CTRL-F4 cube rotation effect that was removed like 4 years ago?

    I loved that effect, it was smooth and I used it to show off the cool desktop features of Linux (even though it’s worthless, it’s nice bling)

    KRunner, Plasma’s search/launch/unit converter/calculator/“but wait, there’s more” tool, uses fuzzy matching to look up applications. This means that even if you misspell an app’s name, KRunner will probably still find it for you. How search results are ordered has also been improved, and KRunner will start to provide those results after the first character is typed.

    Oh nice!

    I also didn’t know it could do unit conversions lol
