Oh, huh, I saw the release announcement for Fedora 44 explicitly mention Plasma 6.6, so I figured it was tied to the release. 🫠

Yeah, it should come with the next Fedora release, which is scheduled for October 20th.

Feature updates, like this new Plasma version, get shipped every half year on Fedora. In between, you mostly just get security and bug fixes…

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.

Nah, I first saw this photo many years ago…

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.

“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, 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…

I always recommend Oh My Git.

Thanks. 🙃

My lappy has an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS with integrated AMD Radeon 780M graphics card.

In terms of dungeon crawlers, I frequently play [email protected]. I’d leave that game running 24/7, if it didn’t also happen to be near-instantaneous to close and re-open. It uses practically zero CPU.

I’ll also play simple 3D games at times, like [email protected] and [email protected]. You’ll hear the fans when those are running, but there’s still quite a bit of head space performance-wise.

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.

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

I mean, ketchup doesn’t have to be horrendously processed. You can get a basic ketchup by mixing purreed tomatoes, vinegar, salt and sugar.

But sure, whatever these burger chains typically serve as ketchup, that has many more ingredients…

Yeah, I always thought the typing thing was just people coming up with silly reasons, because they don’t like change, but when you do networking stuff, you actually need to type out IP addresses rather often.

Either because you need to manually set a new address. Or because you can’t reach the device via network until you’ve typed in its IP address, so can’t copy-paste it then either.

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.
