A similar tool to prolong laptop autonomy is XSuspender <https://kernc.github.io/xsuspender/ https://kernc.github.io/xsuspender/>. It configurably SIGSTOP-s unfocused X11 applications. It is, sadly, XWindows-only.
- dijit 5y agoWayland doesn't constantly redraw the window (this is why pycharm had issues with Xwayland) so you already have this benefit if you're on Wayland.
- ComputerGuru 5y agoMany apps (esp electron) use CPU regardless of whether they’re redrawing the actual desktop window or not.
- account42 5y ago> Wayland doesn't constantly redraw the window Neither do X11 programs (well the ones that care about power effienciency anyways, so not games).
- 1kurac 5y agoThat's just about redrawing. It does nothing about other, potentially unwanted process background CPU use.

- fooctrl 5y agoauto-cpufreq author here, sorry but what are you talking about, what swastika?

- Wowfunhappy 5y agoGP is talking about xsuspender's website, not yours!
- charcircuit 5y agoMaybe they just thought it looked good.
- gdevenyi 5y agoPerhaps it's worth reading about other uses from non-western cultures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
- jonnycomputer 5y agoI don't see it.
- erk__ 5y agoIt's in the footer, grey on grey so it's not very visible
- fooctrl 5y agoauto-cpufreq author, I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're talking about same site which is: https://foolcontrol.org/ https://foolcontrol.org/
- smoldesu 5y agoWe're talking about the Github page that was linked upthread.
- jonnycomputer 5y agothanks. now i see them.
- Tade0 5y agoThis appears to be the original symbol, not the bastardised nazi version.
- tomxor 5y agoyup, easy way to distinguish is the 90 deg angle... AFAIK only the Nazi one is 45deg. If it's 90deg it's in reference to one of the many uses in Asian cultures and religions. This really aught to be taught next to WW history in the west to ensure people properly contextualise it's use when they encounter it in the wider world.
- ziml77 5y agoIt's pretty fucked that this isn't taught. It's not like it has to be some deep dive into the significance of the swastika in Asian culture either. Even just a couple lines in a textbook about it would be far better than nothing
- Tade0 5y agoWhere I come from neo-nazis often try to refute allegations of spreading totalitarian ideology (punishable by a fine or up to two years in prison) by saying that they were actually referring to the original meaning. Of course nobody is buying it, but such cases are nevertheless often dismissed.
- mhh__ 5y agoBetter than nothing but it's kind of thing people who would appreciate it would find out anyway, I feel i.e. I'm fairly well read culturally/historically but I've never really studied it formally, and I think I wouldn't be as interested if I did. I'm curious what sticks if you are led to rather than spontaneously learning.
- lifthrasiir 5y agoUnfortunately both Nazi and Asian cultures (among others) have used all possible orientations (left/right-facing and 0/45/90 degrees) throughout the history, making the distinction much harder. To this end Asian countries realized that it is much easier to not use swastika than to educate people. South Korean maps for example used swastika for Buddhist temples but now use pictorial symbols instead.
