Epic chose not to try and compete with Steam on that front

Forget competing, they lack even the basics.

Have you actually measured a performance impact from RefCell checks?

Gnome 47 will have support for accent colors if that's what you want.

Does GNOME really need an app to change the theme?

You can also do what this app does manually. The point is that "themes" are an hack and not officially supported, as such it doesn't make sense to provide an official interface to set them.

KDE plasma has this natively...

Do you mean for global themes, application styles or plasma styles? All application styles I can find either use Kvantum or require you to compile them manually...

Software implementations of those features is often slower, and runtime checking can often be too expensive compared to the gains.

since it seems like nobody but cachy or custom kernel runs anything but V1

Gentoo offers x86_64-v4 binary builds too.

There was a proposal for Fedora too, though it was ultimately rejected.

Ultimately the gains right now seem to be only 1-3%, though that might also be because there's not much demand for these kind of optimizations. If more distros enable them they might become more widespread and the benefits might increase too. It's a chicken-egg problem though.

Emails are nowhere near being competitive with discord. Sure, they're technically more accessible, but in practice they are much less usable by random people which in turn will just avoid interacting or contributing with your project.

To be fair trees still use energy for doing this, but that energy is conveniently provided by the sun.

High or low level doesn't matter. Mathematically it just makes more sense to use 0-based indexing https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EWD831.html

It's mentioned in footnote 6:

As an example, to make this work I’m assuming some kind of “true deref” trait that indicates that Deref yields a reference that remains valid even as the value being deref’d moves from place to place. We need a trait much like this for other reasons too.

It would only work for references that are stable after the value they reference is moved. Think for example of a &str you get from a String.

Can't those be installed in toolbox?

Jokes on you, I subscribed to my mobile plan 8 years ago and I still pay 6€ for unlimited calls/sms and 30GB (Italy, Iliad)

Isn't there already Box64/Box32? Not to mention most Linux software is already compiled for ARM thanks to being open source.
