    [$] Resource management in KDE
    Applications that run on the Linux desktop have changed significantly
    under the hood in recent years; for example, they use more processes than
    before. Desktop environments need to adapt to this change. During Akademy 2020, KDE developers David
    Edmundson and Henri Chain delivered a talk (YouTube
    video    ) about how KDE, working with other desktop environments, is
    starting to use advanced kernel features to give users more control over
    their systems. This talk complements a presentation by GNOME developers that
    was recently covered here.
    6:52p
    Git v2.29.0 released
    Version 2.29.0 of the Git source-code management system is out. This
    release includes a long list of smallish improvements; click below for the
    details. Also present is the code enabling Git to switch to the SHA-256 hash algorithm; this
    feature is still deemed experimental, though, and interoperability with
    SHA-1 repositories is not yet available.
