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.

I’ve found that I’m actually less hungry throughout the day, if I skip breakfast. So, even when I then have lunch, I’m satiated much quicker.

My working theory is that my stomach shrinks when empty, in particular throughout the night. So, if I don’t shove down breakfast in the morning:

• My stomach can shrink even smaller until lunch.
• There is less empty space in the non-stretched stomach, so less hunger.
• When I do eat lunch, the smaller stomach fills up quicker, meaning I shove down less food for lunch, too, and therefore my stomach doesn’t get particularly stretched until dinner either.

I mean, not everyone has to train their voice to sing low notes. If it’s just your natural range, you won’t have much choice but to sing bass.

Anecdotal, but I’ve also had to be called back the one time I was singing in a choir, because I was too loud compared to the rest.
To some degree, I imagine that’s a physics thing, due to having a larger (resonance) body and being able to push more air through the longer vocal cords. But of course, you also simply don’t need to be as present as the melody on top.

Nah, I first saw this photo many years ago…

I kind of want to try it now, though. It’s a thing to fry rice before you cook it, so maybe you can also do that with oatmeal?

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

Coming at it from the Rust ecosystem, I’d primarily opt for uploading release binaries somewhere. You don’t particularly need a setup script, since Rust programs are generally self-contained.

Publishing a package in addition to that really isn’t hard, but would be my secondary choice, since users are not likely to have cargo on their system.
Well, and cargo compiles on the target machine, which is great for supporting unusual architectures, but you may have C libraries included where it’s just a gamble whether you can compile them on a given target system.

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.

Lots of folks also like the unmarketable names, because you know that it’s not a corporate project. You’re hearing about it, because it’s actually good, and not just because some startup got VC money to do marketing.

Heck, the reverse is true as well. This project is better specifically because it has that name. You just know some transfemmes are tirelessly hacking away at it, because they enjoy the silly name.

Yeah, it’s definitely a trope to make it obvious to the viewer what’s happening, and of course, to build up drama.

“Archive” is probably the word you’re looking for.

Well, unless it is an in-memory database (which isn’t too common), it needs to be stored on disk at some point. And for storing things on disk, you use one or more files.

Yeah, I have also played it on there. Just to give others an idea, we’re talking an MP3 player from 2007, that looks like this:

Here’s an article showing the successor model running Doom: https://hackaday.com/2016/12/30/sansa-mp3-player-runs-doom-unplayably/

Yeah, perhaps the real question is: What’s the definition of free will?

If you make your decision purely based on outside influences, then that’s not free will, that’s determinism.

So, you’d have to integrate something into your decision process that’s independent from outside influence. But something which is independent from the outside, that is either some constant (e.g. you always tend to say yes) or it’s effectively random.
Neither of those sound like free will to me…

Yeah, true. To both, your correction and your caveat. 😅

I do find it an interesting choice. Normally, you’d put a comma there, but you could also use a colon. If you combine comma and colon, you do get a semicolon.

I always recommend Oh My Git.

Thanks. 🙃
