About the part on SaaS, the outcry is solely because the licences used by those projects weren't approved neither by OSI or the FSF, they have clauses that specifically affect the economic aspect, and that can never fit in with either movement, but it is exactly that problem that the software authors want to tackle, preventing big corporations that already have the means to deliver a large scale service based on their software from making even more money than they already have, even if those corporations published possible modifications, the author would benefit little, because they most likely won't have the infrastructure to run it on at the same scale and profiting from it.

Hot take: the real issue there is that those authors clearly don't care for free software, because if they did, they'd have started off with AGPL or the like, instead they choose MIT exactly because of the possible economic prospect for themselves, when at some point they could implement vendor lock-in by baiting the users into believing that it was a community-run project at the start. Don't get me wrong, they deserve to be paid for what they do, and corporations dropping by to profit from all that hard work feels wrong (but not illegal, and so it is fair), but exploiting the visibility and help of the community to reach popularity and credibility and eventually going private is a major dick move

Soon I will convince her to move her gaming PC to Linux

Soon you should convince her to marry you (if that's your thing)

Last I heard about was it when it was officially launched months back.
I gave it a try, it was immediately noticeable that it was worse than VSCode for me, so I just dropped it, besides, I still don't understand the appeal of an app that still has to grow, but is just a sister to VSCode, so it pretty much won't bring unique value to the table now or in the future.
It's actually open source, yes, that's great, but that's why I'm using the open build VSCodium and it works nicely. It's the only reason where I still have hopes it might be interesting at some point, since the majority of the workforce behind VSCode is, of course, Microsoft, the direction it'll take will always be driven by business, and it does show when the last few months (or more, I don't remember) the changelogs have been increasingly featuring AI integration updates, to the point a few releases had like 99% of just that, especially Copilot, that I mostly don't care for. At least some of those include creation of APIs that can be used by other extensions, but still, there's requested features waiting there that aren't about AI and for that sole fact they are just put in second place, not taken care of up to years. Perhaps a project with an actually open governance can work more towards what the community cares about, so, personally, I'd give it a few years to try it again and see how it's come along

Do you remember where you read that from? I thought having qi certified equipment sufficed

Guess I'll try to see if anyone I know has it, otherwise I might buy another one and see

That's true, I also used to run it on a weaker PCs of mine to do the donut tutorial for example, it runs well as long as the scene isn't very busy

If we take only the battery pack into consideration, where it directly takes power from its own circuit and delivers it through the coil it has, I've tried with and without case on the phone and it didn't look like it made any difference, always around that wattage, is it not strange that it wouldn't even be able to reach half the maximum speed in pretty much optimal conditions?

The charging rate, yes

Lol, I was just joking, since you'd usually run Blender on a pretty beefy rig, of course I wouldn't know from the monitor alone
