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.

Yeah, I very much feel like most uses of that lighting have no idea that it’s the bi flag colors and rather just think it looks cool.

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.

Their point is that the maintainer did not sign a contract that requires them to perform maintainer duties. They can choose to stop doing it at any point. They can choose to axe a feature that you deem essential. They can choose to rewrite the project in COBOL for the fun of it.

You may not like it, but that is how it is.
The only legal document involved is the license and any open-source license I’ve seen so far, has stated that the program is provided as is.

This is the license under which rsync is provided: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html
See sections 15 and 16.

The only way you get to have a say in the matter, is by forking and becoming a maintainer yourself.

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?

The use of artificial intelligence in biology really isn’t new, though, and they’re likely not talking about LLM-style AI, but rather something like a genetic algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_algorithm

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.

Oh man, that’s almost completely lost to compression in the post…

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

I imagine, they mainly don’t want to compete with the plethora of cheap+good vegan protein options: lentils, beans, chickpeas, nuts, tofu, tempeh, seitan, TVP, hummus, falafel etc.

Faking meat works as a market, because folks often just want what they’re used to, and then you’re primarily competing against real meat, which is much more expensive, so you can excuse quite a large profit margin.

From the original source:

Wir untersuchten gekühlte Pattys am Mindest­halt­barkeits- oder Verbrauchs­datum oder bis zu zwei Tage davor, die tiefgekühlten Produkte im Laufe der Prüf­phase.

Which translates as:

We evaluated cooled patties on the Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum (legally required at-least-good-until-date, like a shelf-life-date) or on the use-by-date, or up to two days before that. The frozen products were tested at any point throughout the evaluation phase.

If the product has started rotting at that point, that is entirely the fault of the producer, since they specify those dates.

There might be an issue with not everyone seeing the same article text. Here’s what it says for taste:

Plant-based options scored better on average for seasoning, juiciness, and overall cooking results. Some beef patties, meanwhile, showed up with off-putting smells, flat flavors, and shelf-life issues.

The original source lists more rating categories and the source we’re getting it from is biased, so maybe some taste categories with opposite results are left out here.

But it can’t be too biased either, though, because the original publication from Stiftung Warentest is also titled “Vegan beats Beef” (“Vegan schlägt Rind­fleisch”). They would not write that, if it misrepresented their data.

I am very confused. Are we seeing same article? @[email protected] below also seemed to not see a direct quote from the article.

Here’s the part of the article describing the results that I see:

The result

Vegan patties came out on top, and it wasn’t particularly close:

1. Overall rating

   Seven out of ten plant-based patties rated “good.” Only three out of ten beef patties did.

   The three top-scoring burgers came from Aldi MyVay, Garden Gourmet, and Beyond — and they were all vegan.

   This is a dramatic reversal from the last time this test was run in 2021, when meat still held the edge. The improvement in plant-based products over just a few years has been remarkable.

2. Fats

   Vegan patties averaged 43% less fat and 20% fewer calories than their beef counterparts — and the fat they do contain skews toward the healthy, unsaturated kind, while beef patties lean heavily on saturated fat.

3. Taste

   Plant-based options scored better on average for seasoning, juiciness, and overall cooking results. Some beef patties, meanwhile, showed up with off-putting smells, flat flavors, and shelf-life issues.

4. Food safety

   Antibiotic-resistant bacteria were found in 40% of the beef patties tested. One contained genuinely pathogenic bacteria. The vegan patties? Zero contaminants.

5. Price

   The vegan patties were, on average, 20% cheaper than beef. And that’s before accounting for the massive government subsidies that artificially deflate the price of conventional meat. Without those subsidies, the gap would be even wider.
