And in any case, it doesn't achieve the objective of newspeak, as those concepts are still being discussed.

Yet.

But I get what you are saying. I just find the similarities, although banal, kind of funny. In a scary kind of way.

You just described Newspeak (Nineteen Eighty-Four novel):

Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person's ability for critical thinking. The Newspeak language thus limits the person's ability to articulate and communicate abstract concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will,[1][2] which are thoughtcrimes, acts of personal independence that contradict the ideological orthodoxy of Ingsoc collectivism.[3][4]

This car would be right at home in the cyberpunk 2077 game or in the ghost in the shell anime.

Something tells me that the final car will look more bland, but I hope I'm wrong.

I use the TV remote control for the basic stuff. If I need to type something longer or more options, than I switch to Kore (official Kodi remote by the same developers). You just need the phone to be in the same network.

Never felt the need to connect keyboard+mouse.

I'm running a RPI4 with LibreELEC + Kodi.

YouTube runs better than the official app, at least for my needs.

LibreELEC + Kodi works out of the box with the TV Remote. And you can use Kore (android app) to get a full keyboard.

What's so special about imessage?

It's almost as they are being concentrated in a camp.

I've the strange felling that it reminds me of something, but I really don't know what it is... 🤔

I'll have to look in to that.

I've found this at avp.fandom:

The Engineers from Planet 4 as seen in Alien: Covenant, however, appeared more primitive and slightly different in appearance from those the crew of the USCSS Prometheus encountered on LV-223, having eyes more closely resembling those of humans, far more variance in body shape and appear to vary in height as well, compared to the universally tall and muscular Engineers seen in Prometheus, although the clothes they wore bear a striking resemblance to those worn by the sacrificial Engineer from Prometheus. Based on a cut scene from Prometheus, as well as their voices as heard during David's genocide on Planet 4, their voices appear similarly human-like, although seemingly lower in pitch.

So let's say that indeed it is the engineers home world, what's your guess has for the Covenant and Prometheus engineers not looking the same?

Hi everybody.

I was trying to make the switch to Wayland, but this little problem is really keeping me in X11.

The display turns off, says that there is no signal/input, turns off again but after that it wakes up immediately.

This happens either by using the shortcut to turn the display off Ctrl + Alt + D or waiting for the 10 minutes specified in the Energy Saving options.

I've found this Bug 462695 at KDE.org where it says the problem is from openSUSE.

I've already disabled KScreen 2 in Background Services.

In X11 the display has no problems entering energy saving mode.

Does anybody have the same problem or any idea what it might be keeping the display from sleeping?

My specs:

  • openSUSE Tumbleweed
  • Kernel 6.4.11-1-default
  • DE: Plasma 5.27.7
  • CPU Intel i5-4670K
  • GPU AMD ATI Radeon RX 6750 XT
