Well, I skipped October, oops. So it’s been two months since my last Plasma 6 update, but you can find all kinds of other good stuff about Plasma 6 on including this post from Kai. Probably t…

November Plasma 6 update

Probably the big news is that we released the Plasma 6 Alpha today! What does that mean? Well, go read this blog post by David Edmundson to find out! In a nutshell, you should try out the Plasma 6 Alpha out using one of these distros (or by building it yourself using kdesrc-build) if you’re an adventurous person who has a backup and wants to help make the final release better by reporting bugs or even fixing them. It really does help!

  • Thank you for relaying this information

    Vulcan is a proud Relay user and relying on this app for Reddit for years, but The Snoo Platform alienated me away and nowadays, Vulcan is roaming around here and fediverse.

    Still, this doesn't inspire confidence towards The Snoo Platform, back-end wise.

    Digital Realty Singapore uses electrolysis to clean its cooling water
  • Ng told us that each DCI unit costs around SG$33,000 (US$25,000) and can treat - very roughly - enough water for about 1MW to 1.3MW of cooling infrastructure. To cover the whole output of SIN10 would therefore need 20 to 25 DCI units, which suggests a cost of maybe US$500,000, although no figures have been quoted to us for the deal.

    The installation was partially funded by a Singapore government program to save water, and Digital claims it saves 1.24 million liters of water per month.

    MIT scientists propose power storage using cement blocks
  • Blocks of cement infused with a form of carbon similar to soot could store enough energy to power whole households. A single 3.5-meter block could hold 10kWh of energy, and power a house for a day, and the technology could be commercialized in a matter of years, the scientists say.

  • No apologies as Reddit halfheartedly tries to repair ties with moderators
  • Fox brand in entertainment is so tainted that Disney replace and rebrand almost all of acquired Fox-branded TFCF assets with other brands (such as 20th Century Studio, Disney Studio, and Star).

    The merger agreement with TFCF stated that Disney is entitled to a perpetual licence of "20th Century Fox" (only for movies) from the current Fox Corporation but Disney decided to replace the brand anyway. As for Fox-branded channel outside North America (and Australia, because Fox Australia is owned by News Corp Australia and never in any way affected by Disney merger), Disney obtained a temporary licence and must end all usage of Fox brand by 2024.

    Star, originally Satellite Television for Asian Region, now became worldwide brand and replaced most of Fox-branded channel outside North America.

  • IBM, Red Hat and Free Software: An old maddog’s view
  • Recently I have been seeing some cracks in the dike. As more and more users of FOSS come on board, they put more and more demands on developers whose numbers are not growing sufficiently fast enough to keep all the software working.

    I hear from FOSS developers that too few, and sometimes no, developers are working on blocks of code. Of course this can also happen to closed-source code, but this shortness hits mostly in areas that are not considered “sexy”, such as quality assurance, release engineering, documentation and translations.
