Your condescension has sent my IED absolutely through the roof

Do I have to break out the crayons for you?

You understand condescension, and yet you still do it yourself.

Word of advice--be a good person to your colleagues, and let friendship possibly develop after one of you leaves. I've made many friends throughout the years once we each know there is no pressure to be friends. I've had many job leads throughout the years because people I previously worked with thought I was a great colleague.

See comment above, but basically, I question whether mouthwash is all that, based on recent research: https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.001830

Based on recent research, mouthwash is now in question in my books.

We aimed to assess if daily usage of Listerine Cool Mint influenced the composition of the pharyngeal microbiome... Listerine use was associated with an increased abundance of common oral opportunistic bacteria previously reported to be enriched in periodontal diseases, oesophageal and colorectal cancer, and systemic diseases. These findings suggest that the regular use of Listerine mouthwash should be carefully considered.

Basically, it differentially kills good bacteria, leaving more of the bad kind.

I really wanted to like NixOS (and I do, theoretically), but I couldn't dedicate more than 5 full days over Christmas to learn how to get to a working development system.

Check out Aegis if you're on Android. (See my other comment).

On Android, I replaced Authy with the open-source Aegis app. It's just as functional, allows exporting, and doesn't tie your data to your phone number (nor store it on a central system--not sure if Authy does this or not).

FYI this is still an issue for me. Updated to cosmic-edit 0.1.0~1715990347~22.04~f5238e1.

I no longer think WGPU_POWER_PREF has any bearing on the fast/slow issue, see my other comment.

No, I haven't updated packages in 3 or 4 weeks.

Ok, I've narrowed down the cause of slowdown slightly. It is when my laptop is on battery only that load time takes about 25 seconds. When plugged in (mains power), load time is < 1sec.

The only change I see in journalctl -xef when switching between battery/mains power is as follows (first line battery, second line mains):

May 22 23:45:35 rosie kernel: Dynamic Preempt: voluntary
May 22 23:45:54 rosie kernel: Dynamic Preempt: full

Edit: I can also simulate the effect via sudo tlp ac (fast load time) and sudo tlp bat (slow load time).

Thanks. Strangely, after using WGPU_POWER_PREF=high, it is always fast for me, even when I don't specify this preference. I don't understand it. In any case, I guess it's "fixed" for now, so thanks!
