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…

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why are there no hard forks of Firefox, Chromium, WebKit, or other browsers?
1·1 month agoIt 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.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Why are there no hard forks of Firefox, Chromium, WebKit, or other browsers?
3·1 month agoI 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.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Should we ditch the idea of three meals a day?
71·1 month agoI’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 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?
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.

The original was already vibrant and bright, so they had to change up the light in a different way. 🙃
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:

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If free-will doesn't exist, why are corporations working so hard to make decisions for us?
2·1 month agoYeah, 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.
Had to think what this would be mathematically, and I guess, it’s a factorization then.
