All good, but I think it’s really often a misconception that a DE like KDE, which is big and brings tons of features, must be more ressource intensive than a (feature wise) smaller DE. Which, as the benchmarks show, is surprisingly not the case.

Look on phoronix for benchmarks. Plasma consumes less RAM and CPU than even XFCE.

Those are some rookie measly numbers.

FTFY

It would be weird if the protests had a big effect on the predicted votes. Who would be all for the AfD and then suddenly go “yeah well, I changed my mind now”?

The protests should mainly convince the government to finally start the process to ban the AfD.

4 million.

2 million would be 1%.

Legal Eagle? Let’s french this up a bit and call him L’Eagle.

In the middle of what you believe was a two minute song.

They should have code-named this release “Brooklyn”.

I would definitely want my door locked for that.

But that’s a good thing. If everyone considers the status quo as final, no one would research anything. It’s fine to question stuff, if you at least follow scientific methodologies. Just saying “nah, I don’t buy it” and then leaning back doing nothing is just lazy, and not critical thinking.

If we only ever act on things we think we got 100% nailed down, we will either be as ignorant as these fools who locked Semmelweis away or we will stop doing anything at all, because realistically there is always a chance we got some seemingly basic understanding wrong.

The only intelligent thing is to work with a good mix of “what you know” paired with a sane amount of “critical thinking” and an assessment of potentially involved risks.

Covid was also an example (at least here in Germany). People fought against the invonvenience of having to wear masks or stay inside (or get vaccinated) because (as they said) we don’t know for certain how dangerous the illness really is and/or how effectice these measures are.

For me the calculation was simple: doing these measures and being wrong has far far less fatal consequences than being wrong and not doing these measures.

IMO the common sense part isn’t “oh right of course those are germs”, but following the observation that points to some correlation. They don’t have to know or understand the root cause to at least consider (or accept) that something is wrong.

I think it’s technically still there… hidden behind custom fronts.

But daddy…

Google had deals that were revealed. For example Spotify was exempt from paying those 30%.

There’s nothing wrong with UDP. At least not that I know of.

Motion denied.

Tell me which so I can develop a competing service and steal your userbase!

You should consider using distrobox and/or apx, so you can effectively run any software from any package manager from any distro.

You could have a bottled archlinux where you install and run cutting edge stuff.
