Simple, they've been working with goals of each release, so most of the things that clearly aren't going to make it to the next release don't get top priority compared to the things that will. It also just so happened that a ton of these year-spanding works have finally being considered done today lol

Easy to imagine when you understand that this is developed to support hardware that is widely popular and that will be sold by a lot less in the second-hand market in a couple of years, and that this makes far easier for people that are currently stuck in this walled garden to experiment with free software.

KDE Eco is (AFAIK) a project by the KDE folks to try and push for better optimizations for energy efficiency for software projects in general and to try and push for free software adoption by governments with the main push being the limits of software support by companies and the landfill that limited support creates.

Read what I said again. It is not automatically bad, and it doesn't mean it can't be poorly used or poorly understood by the ones collecting it. It just means that it is an effective way to understand how your users are using your product.

Putting Mozilla (which from what I can tell is doing as much as they can trying to collect this telemetry data in a way that can't be used to identify its users) in the same domain as Microsoft, which collects pretty much everything it can to sell to third party advertisers is ridiculous as best and disingenuous at worst.

It's power-profiles-daemon. The new version came out a couple of weeks back (and reached stable bascially in the same day as F40 released) with much better performance, as it now detects if your system is running on battery and adapts both the balanced and power saver modes accordingly to save on power, it's pretty great!

transphobes get fucked 🦀🦀🦀🦀

don't you know? they're brown, so it clearly doesn't matter

Also, highly recommend checking out Universal Blue's Surface images! It's pretty much everything you need out of the box! https://universal-blue.org/images/surface/?h=surface

I know, I'm on the Flatpak side, just appreciate the intention behind snaps (although I quite frankly hate the execution).

It's a partnership for those that really want the distro branding and that want to see part of the money spent going back to fund FOSS development (as 3% of the sales goes to the GNOME Foundation). For those that don't, it's basically just a Slimbook Executive 16.

the TL;DR is people were coming from HN to harass one of Asahi's devs mainly for being a trans woman
