  • Yeah, I feel like Christians make a big deal out of life vs. death. Life is declared this super great thing that was gifted to them by their god. And death is described like an eternal departure into the unknown.

    Meanwhile, if you view things in a much more mundane way, life is just your atoms jiggling about. It’s not particularly bad, when they stop jiggling together.
    But even if you do prefer them being part of a pile that’s deemed ‘alive’, your left toe is probably gonna get eaten by a worm and brought into a field, where a plant will pick up the atoms and grow some seeds, which get carried by a bird into the next forest and so on. Your atoms will almost certainly be part of many alive piles of atoms going forward.

    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…




  • 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.

    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.
