Been working on improving the Matcha GTK theme. They did some great work, and it has been fun tweaking it. Even extended the Plank theme to support the new theming options in Plank Reloaded. https://github.com/zquestz/Matcha-gtk-theme

What do you think about the programming features coming to CSS? Should it stay just for styles, or should it include more programming primitives? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apn8ucs7AL0

We need more work like this. Optimization is becoming a lost art. We need to make our systems more efficient. Reducing the power consumption of the Linux network stack by up to 30% is a huge improvement. https://spectrum.ieee.org/data-center-energy-consumption
