@Leszek_Karlik @kevinrns it sounds more like "Solar roadways" pipe dream then an actual thought-out engineering project.

@ed_hawkins The debate is not whether the climate change is real or not, but how we tackle fossil fuel emissions without destroying the economy which runs on fossil fuels and avoiding social turmoil. i.e. Sri Lanka (top ESG score before the collapse).
Keep in mind that most solutions proposed by climate change advocates are long term scams, delaying the transition to sustainable renewable energy and enriching legacy petrochemical corporations e.g. Green Hydrogen, Biomass, bio-fuels, carbon credit, etc.

That's exactly how my brain works, I don't think it's #ADHD but a form of #procrastination that the brain use to avoid boring chores and engaging in dopamine inducing "learning" videos. Sadly those videos will be forgotten in a couple a days.
Actual learning is more tedious and demand a lot focus, memorization and periodic training exercises.
@angelobottone Crazy politics!

Is this the right way to fight climate change?
I complained in the past that manipulating PDF documents on #Linux sucked. The default tools are basic viewers, but lack any modification capability, so I decided to look into tools that help you actually work with PDF documents.
Here are the best PDF tools for #Linux, to views, edit, merge, split, create, annotate, do OCR and more! Most are #OpenSource, but there are some gaps that commercial, proprietary solutions can fill as well:
@thelinuxEXP Thanks for this video, this is very informative!
I tried fedora kde just today and failed miserably, themes in KDE are limitless but also can mess up the distro, to install a theme I had to install Kvantum and Pling afterword I didn't like the theme result and I had a wired bug were when I logout of my session, the screen just go black and need to reboot to go back to login screen.
I was just tired to mess thing up and troubleshoot to revert back to default.
Can you please share how you theme your KDE distro?
Thanks!

That's for sure!
After the soviet collapse, many USSR allied nations has experienced the worst civil turmoil for decades!
As much as I dislike the USA foreign military and monetary policy, I hope for this decade these things get resolve peacefully.
We have all the technological and communication means to achieve that goal.
The multi polar world order is a realty, will the USA fight it or embrase it? That's what will determine the fate of the western societies!
