I'm using Lively Wallpaper[0] to show an audio visualizer (trough CefSharp). The CPU load as shown in Task Manager is around 1.5-2% on my Ryzen 5800X. Therefore I tend to activate it only when I actually play some music and have it sho

xfreerdp works just fine, however it requires some fiddling if you want to use it on multiple monitors.

Though in the end you're the one clicking busses and bikes and bridges and busses again and when you're through that charade, everything is gone anyway because the bots were faster/better at that..

While local politics are difficult to judge from afar, I generally wouldn't consider the SPD left for a long time now. I'd recommend not putting too much weight on the (local) voting results.
