    In case anyone else is also interested in the "what kind of music", this is straight from the study: >>The patients were asked to choose their preferred music from two prerecorded …

    Oh, that's right! They use KDE only for the Desktop Mode operation, not the normal one. So yes, not much is impacted.

    This is interesting to me, because SteamOS, so Steam Deck uses KDE. I really wonder how they are going to tackle going from X to Wayland on 4 million machines, and what that will b…

    1. It's the other way around: because people don't care that much, that's why there is almost exclusively proprietary hardware around. 2. The people who require the "higher grades"…

    And, for this reason, different entities ship different versions of the Linux kernel (and system) as well. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisquel The simple statement …

    I stopped drinking caffeine in my everydays, reserving it for occasions that are more meaningful to me, like a weekend of chores around the house, or going out to a party. Drinking…

    Maybe there are other factors too, I'm not very sure. When there are thin light lines on a dark background, that's really hard to look at for me. And strangely, the same dark lines…

    Yes and to make it worse, sometimes the unstyled paste shortcut doesn't work. For example, in Microsoft Notes.

    I'd guess so, yes. I think dark mode users leave the screen brighter than it should be, because in dark mode, it doesn't matter as much as it does in light mode. Then, after lookin…

    Many of these haters have astigmatism, which makes the dark mode hard to see for them. I don't think all of the people who have this realize they have this, so, it gets directed ag…

    I use the OS provided Night Light feature everywhere for this, and my eyes are loving it. I have it set up to follow the day-night cycle, so during the day it doesn't get overly se…

    Wiki already has the functionality for dark mode, but loads the light mode as default. They even have the Automatic option, but the user has to select it, so, it's like semi-automa…

    I have good news for you, the article is back in business, and the discussion is happening!

    I mean, there is not much substance in the article, but I agree. I don't like dark mode too much either. I read that people with astigmatism, so cylindrical sight, don't handle dar…

    Happy to hear that! Have you also played Fall Guys? How do they compare? I haven't played platformers for two decades now, but looking at the Mario screenshots, I got an immediate …

    Create text in higher resolution, rasterize it, warp it would be my process, if I needed to curve the characters themselves too. In case I didn't, because the shape is not that sma…

    In case you launch the GOG game because of Proton, then I suggest using Heroic launcher to start it instead. You can use Proton there too, automatically downloads and everything, s…

    DRM is optional on Steam, many games don't have it (or roll their own). In many cases of Steam DRM, activation is only one-time, after that, granted the hardware doesn't change sig…

    That's how it works in Linux land for two reasons. One, drivers live in the kernel (roughly). Two, Linux is aftermarket for many hardware, in which cases there's hardware first, th…

    I didn't catch on to that at all. I even wrote my own comment, but seeing your reaction to the other guys' comments, I have re-read your original, and frankly, couldn't figure it o…

    I read the comment several times, and I can't figure out your intent, or the message, because of how much it's coded in doublespeak. That might also be what trips others up.
