  • "You never tell me anything!", they complain.

    I vaguely remember that I was generally quite chatty in like, kindergarten, in stark contrast to today. Though to be fair, it might not have been my parents, or at least not only my parents, who fucked that up.

  • Measuring these uncustomized directly after booting is a pretty flawed metric, especially with something like KDE that has a lot of features that can be enabled or disabled. i.e. many features that are built into KDE might need external programs that are not included in the base install of LXQt or XFCE, and some stuff might get reused when you start opening LibreOffice, Firefox or a text editor (AFAIK this is definitely a thing if you use a lot of KDE/Qt applicatons). The desktop comparisons I saw during KDE 5.x had it at not that much more RAM use than XFCE, and I doubt this changed that much with KDE 6. Maybe something about Wayland, though? e.g. XWayland might eat additional resources. Also, the baseline RAM use seems really high when even XFCE uses 1.4GiB by default.

    For the record, I use LXQt, not KDE.

  • That's just not what "old" or "new" mean for media. You could maybe make that argument if the movie was made a long time ago but only released now, but that's a very rare case. The public has already consumed the media, if it was somewhat popular you might be aware of what people thought about it before you even watch it for the first time, and if it was influential it might even interact with younger movies, possibly leading to you thinking that certain elements of it are overdone or old hat when this might actually have been one of the first works to have used these elements.

    On top of that, the general societal context is not that of today, but of when the movie was made - few works are so timeless that this doesn't matter at all.

  • A 16:9 screen is basically two squares side by side, so instead of making a big square they can just make the landscape monitor bigger until it's large enough that you can comfortable view two documents side-by-side. I definitely prefer 16:10 or 3:2, though.
