White is a bloat colour, it takes more energy for your monitor to display white than any other colour since white is all parts of the LED on.

0/10, you're worse than a ai data center.

This is what my i3 desktop looks like, just in black. I hate explaining to people why there's no taskbar or icons.

Unless it’s an oled, WRONG, there hasn’t ever been SOMEONE as WRONG in the HISTORY OF HUMANITY, you DUMB person, you know what they say, big man, strong man, came up to me, tears down his eyes asking, why is my power so expensive, and I told him, it’s that JERK over THERE who is hogging all the power, and so I ENACTED an executive order to officially start a WAR, military OPERATION in Pakistan to find Obama Bin Laden HUSSEIN and find out why THIS JERK is spending ALL THE ENERGY on his TERRIBLE setup THAT ISN’T EVEN GOLD, like my ballroom, beautiful ballroom, big ballroom, came down tears down its eyes thanking me for making it pretty, and GOLD and SAFE and FIT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME

Edit: I have too much fun writing these

For all the fucking shit

That he is putting us through

When all is said and done

He better burn hot in hell too

This is what we got now

What are we to do

About the conman and all of his crew

A sexual sadist, you just know it

And those people are the vilest to exist

racist, sexist, convicted felon rapist

And who can even tell all the crimes that were missed

Of all the shit that's redacted on the list

I'm pissed, fucker running the government like a business

Goodness, jesus, I sure can see

How he drove them into bankruptcy

Please dear lord end his presidency

A bullet or a stroke

Will do the job just as nicely

Crazy, letting this shady

Motherucker phase me

Maybe

It's time for another round

to hit this childish baby

If you line em up

You can getem both with one shot

That fat damn prick and his old lady

Time is coming, heart keeps throbbing

Syphilis aching, cholesterol spiking

God ain't listening to take a hit on the slob

Please, hamburgers, do your god damned job

...

I have written too many lyrics about the piece of shit I hope it ends soon

Yeah, it comes from customizing cars and has a somewhat racist background, but many folks learn the word in the Linux communities and have no idea of any of that...

On an LCD screen it’s using less power to not block the light from coming through.

I know this is funny and I had a laugh but modern led displays have brightness zones and can dim backlighting in dark areas. so a big bright image also uses more power than a dark image on them as well. I know, fun party facts 😅

LOCAL DIMMING IS A RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA TOOL. Only a Dumbocrat would believe such propaganda, the REDUCTION of FOSSIL fuel consumption is NOT PATRIOTIC forcing the FEDERAL government to increase subsidies into FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY that will go BANKRUPT due to the TREASONOUS DEFECTIVE LOCAL DIMMING panels. ONLY SOMEONE SMART like ME, a GENIUS just like EINSTEIN, who has done SEVERAL COGNITIVE ASSESSMENTS where the DOCTORS were VERY IMPRESSED could POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND the consequences of letting LOCAL FACTORIES adopt SUCH CRAP technology. SPEAKING OF UNDERSTANDING I understand that IM NOT ALLOWED TO BANG MY DEAR DAUGHTER IVANKA because I AM her FATHER but if I WASNT, I totally WOULD DO HER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS INCREDIBLY TREMENDOUS COMMUNICATION THAT BLEW your MIND.

Note: I forgot about local dimming, lol

I really wish the community would use a different word. It's bad at communicating its meaning just to start.

I do this in KDE, just with the taskbars hidden. Why, you might ask? Because I wanted a transparent Konsole, but wallpapers made it hard to read 🙃
