Not sure the lemmy crowd is representative of the general public trends.
Oh I'm perfectly aware this is most likely a chain of pressure and responsibility dodging:
- the top demands more users more active,
- the bottom develops some solutions they demo while refusing any responsability for its impact.
- Some middle pressed to meet demand while having only one solution available at the time eventually decide to deploy it, maybe "temporarily".
Oh they absolutely know. Zuck's Meta is on trial right now not only because Instagram creates an addiction for kids, but because it was made delibarately, on purpose. Kids addictron was the goal.
They've always known. They just don't care for the rest of humanity.
Given you propose to chose between 2 federated solutions, I assume you want a good robust federation. So it's easy: XMPP, period.
Anyone who has experienced self-hosting knows Matrix is several times heavier on memory and CPU than XMPP, and that's one of the reasons 99% of the Matrix users are on 1 server, while I actually dnn't even know which XMPP server is the largest.:
He will probably claim to work a gazillion hours a week with an unrivaled efficiency, making him one of the most productive humans on Earth. Because these people are not just sociopaths, they're also completely delusional about their intelligence and true worth, out of money worth.
You think he would oppose a massive genocide of 99.9% of humanity if he could get an army of robots to sérve him in his new world?
Think again!
Pretty sure they won't care except if it ends with a multi-billions$ fine. The intent is that by the time, their "smart-glasses" are everywhere and banning them no longer seems reasonable.
So they'll settle for "privacy settings by default", meaning they commit to not record anything except if the user expilicitly activate it, and it should be very visible for people around.
They'll wait a good 6 months before an update introduces back a silent auto-record of some kind, because that company never gave a flying fuck about the law, its users or basic decency.
Let's just hope pissing off the judge on mïnute 1 may get them uncomfortable about the rest of the trial.
KDE can be considered heavy only if your idea of a desktop use is to launch it and stop right there.
But normally after that you launch apps and that's where the magic happens: it is so integrated, apps barely add any more RAM usage on top.
So instead of comparing DE x and y, compare what a desktop actively used looks like: browser? office suite? file manager? drawing app?
Only then will you be able to compare you RAM usage from one DE to another. Everything else is comparing cars fuel economy when they're all idle.
They're working on an alternative device with a large OEM they've not disclosed yet. They're aiming at releasing it in 2027.
Took me a bit more and I'm not autistic. But: see below.
Hint that helped me
Reading op claiming he figured it by just looking at it and not making complicated calculations on a piece of paper probably helped a lot.
They just wanted to pack that list. Who thinks child exploitation is a true concern while nothing is done about the Epstein file?
