I found out about this software way too late, but converting from Xournal to Rnote was not hard luckily. Since then this is among the first apps I install on my 2in1 and I urge anyone using Xournal to give this one a try.
I wonder which one of them has the better performance (battery life), this might be an interesting marketing point
Isn't it pretty common in marine animals?
Lots of fish, dolphins, whales, etc. Or do they count as grey?
Also think so. Plenty of fish are vibrant blue, the blue whale is grayish blue but still blue.
Also plenty of birds are blue are they not?
And I totally forgot about butterflies and other insects as well

And it's stupid to get moral panicked about.
People are 99% nature, 1% nurture. We evolved to survive worse than witnessing pregnant Spider Man.
When you consider that children already watch trash on youtube, then yes I agree that there is no reason to get worried about anything. But the entire concept of letting your children watch trash on youtube is worrying.
Not having children myself it's easy for me to say that everything on the internet should be treated as if it was 18+ and therefore children don't belong on the internet. Period. Especially not on their own. There are exceptions of course like websites that are highly geared towards the education of children but youtube (kids) in it's majority is not that.

I might have not caught that he tried to kill graphene os. Didn't he just say that he decided to not use gOS anymore because he thinks that the developer of gOS might have something against him personally?
Anyway, I don't know a single person who stopped using gOS because of the feud between these two
Gladly I might add since I have been enjoying gOS so far

This could be a cultural loss. Aren’t some floors essentially museums, with much older equipment intact?
It would be a shame if they closed the access to the pool of equipment to the public. But then again I would guess that a museum inside a hotel is not contradictory.

Valve doesn't try to make general purpose engines, they make engines that suit their own games, so unless you happen to be making a game which is shaped very much like HL:Alyx or CS2 you would probably be underwhelmed with Source 2. That includes platform support, Source 2 doesn't officially support any of the consoles because Valve hasn't needed it to, having only ever shipped it on PC and (briefly) Android/iOS.
Then again there is s&box which I would not consider being close to either, well the games that can be made with s&box at least. But I agree that it would probably be hard to build something like Teardown inside the Source 2 Engine. On the other hand: Teardown does not use Unity either.

I like the dedication behind godot. Since unity can be a hassle to get to work on linux i might try out their solution.
On a tangential note: I am also excited to see whether Embark Studios will open source their engine once it's ready.

> But as an user, why would he/she care about how it works
I find this (extremely prevalent) perspective increasingly demoralising.
Why wouldn't he/she care?
There's an important distinction here between the use of the word "should" and "would". The user of course shouldn't be required to care, but making a decision on their behalf that they won't is fundamentally different.
This is of course largely driven by the sorry state of UX where the responsibility to integrate rich choice & flexibility into refined simple interfaces is shirked in favour of achieving the same simplicity via the lazier approach of design minimalism.
I don't see this that critically. Joe Schmoe and Programmmer Paul live in two different worlds. Joe might be into finace where I don't care about how anything is calculated so long as the right amount is in my bank account by the end of the month. Maybe they use a fancy excel sheet or SAP-FI or whatever.
I don't think that the missing interest in either topics is particulary demoralizing.
But on a different note: it is demoralizing when you need to cooperate with that other world, when Paul needs to create that program in sap for the calculations and Joe does not care for the inner workings or Paul for the formulas. That makes communication so much harder.
