I find that setting the power profile to “Power-Saver” makes a huge difference.

KDE has support for that built-in, although I’m not sure, if distributions install the corresponding daemon on desktop systems: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon

You should be able to cycle through power profiles with Meta+B on KDE.
You can also see and change the profile via the systray icon for the battery, but on a desktop system, that presumably won’t be shown by default.

Otherwise, powerprofilesctl is also an option, as described in that link.

It was one of the stated goals for Servo itself to be designed like that. But I don’t think anyone at Mozilla expected Servo to take over from Gecko. They were already quite happy that they were able to incorporate Servo’s style engine and URL bar implementation and such into Gecko.

I don’t think that’s quite right. The Linux kernel, Firefox and Chromium all sit around 30 millions lines of code, last I checked, so if you add the rest of the operating system, it should still have more lines of code than the browser.

But yes, similar order of magnitude.

Hmm, seems to work like you want for me. Using Plasma 6.6 with the icons-only task manager…

Should perhaps add that you can generally run Linux distributions off of a USB stick for that first impression.

Just follow a tutorial for how to install Linux and when you see the actual installer on screen, you can just close the installer without installing and then click around in the UI.

It will be slow, because it’s running off that slow USB connection, but otherwise this is pretty much the operating system as it is when fully installed.

I always recommend Oh My Git.

Not sure, I’ve heard of it before myself, but if this is the webpage, then some dev log was posted 18 days ago, so I imagine, there’s also still players. 🙃

Ah yeah, that’s tricky. I’m not actually deep into it myself. Maybe you can find a group to play with, like friends, colleagues etc.?

Not quite a direct answer, but I feel like this world view is linked to seeing art primarily as a commodity rather than a way to express emotions.

With expressive art, it doesn’t particularly matter whether you write the millionth poem in a standard rhyme scheme and meter, so long as what you express comes across.
But commodity art is explicitly ‘clean’, it does not carry a message or at least not a particularly complex/interesting message.

And then, yeah, suddenly you ask yourself why would someone look at this particular drawing of a dragon, when there’s been a million drawings of dragons before.

Wikipedia calls it a “spiritual successor” to Tremulous. 😅

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unvanquished_(video_game)

There’s quite a few old-school shooters that are open-source, for example:

• https://xonotic.org/ is a Quake-like arena shooter.

• https://unvanquished.net/ is an asymmetric arena shooter (humans vs. aliens) with RTS elements.

Those are actually two different etymologies/meanings. Amazingly, the word “impregnable” itself has two meanings, which are kind of the opposite of each other.

See etymology 1 and 2 here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impregnable

For “impregnate”, it lists the meaning “to fill pores or spaces with a substance” under the same etymology as knocking someone up (which is etymology 2 above): https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/impregnate

Glad that assert_matches!() is finally stable. Pulling in a dependency for that functionality never felt good, nor having to provide an elaborate format-string every time, just to get more information than “should’ve been true, but was false”…

Alt+F3 can also work (possibly in addition to Alt+Space)…

Same. For whatever reason, I kind of hate all cursor themes. I disliked Breeze the least, then thought about how I’d want to change Breeze to improve it, realized that would look much worse, and since then I’ve been content with Breeze.

Nah, you can have a license that says you get a cupcake and another license that says you need to give up your first-born.
And then you can mush those licenses to say that you need to give up your first-born, but you get a cupcake in return.

Unless the specific license terms contradict, this is totally possible.

AGPL is specifically for web services. For example, if Nextcloud were provided under the GPL, Amazon or the like could serve a modified version of Nextcloud without having to hand out their modifications. As far as the GPL is concerned, Amazon is the user and the software just happens to accept requests from the network.
With AGPL, those who use the software over the network are also deemed users and therefore have the right to access the source code.

I imagine, the scenario would be that the cloud service links against a library under the supposed new license.
And then, even if you’re just using the cloud service over the network, you can demand changes to the source code of that library to be open-sourced.

I imagine, it’s just too much of a niche and practically not enforceable anyways.

You would need to somehow know that a web service is a using a modified version of your library, then you’d be able to demand those library changes to be open-sourced.

And well, just in general, covering all kinds of niche use-cases isn’t terribly healthy for open-source licenses, because each modification is something that can be challenged in court and which might be incompatible with other licenses.
Ultimately, a library under such a specialty license would probably not see much use either. You could only really depend on it in AGPL applications. And at some point, you do have to ask yourself, if it’s even useful to develop your library then.

Yeah, certainly not uncommon for dictators to murder people on one side, but portray themselves as loving animals on the other…
