7 months agoThe config file in ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.
Search for the widget name. I will use org.kde.plasma.analogclock.
On my system this widget has a config section.
[Containments][53][Applets][186]
immutability=1
plugin=org.kde.plasma.analogclock
It is applet 186. Search the string Applet-186 for a section that has entries containing ItemGeometries.
[Containments][53]
ItemGeometries-0x0=Applet-112:1712,48,144,256,0;
ItemGeometries-1280x720=
ItemGeometries-1920x1080=Applet-186:1504,96,304,304,231;
ItemGeometries-1920x1200=
ItemGeometries-3840x2160=
ItemGeometriesHorizontal=Applet-186:1504,96,304,304,231;
The ItemGeometries are the layout of the widget on the desktop. I believe the last five semicolon separated numbers are:
- x position
- y position
- width
- height
- rotation in degrees
Nothing happened. It was always like this. Geeks got unduly put on a pedestal. They got a reputation that was never earned. They’re not any different than your typical psychopath executive.
I grew up in a town where a lot of these types of guys have become multimillionaires since 2010s tech boom. One person manages some hundreds of millions of dollars AI investment portfolio. That was before the GPT explosion. I have no idea how big they are now but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s billions.
Growing up they were almost all psychopathic. Lying, cheating, backstabbing type of people. Nothing like the timid altruistic geek that pop culture proliferates. The more normal people did not go into tech. The actual timid types have had modest middle class careers in tech.
