What does Selenium have to do with reducing power usage?
It can be used to create scripts to be runned on kde eco lab to measure the power consumption of your app.
@Allon @simple Exactly, it enables automation of user behavior so one can measure energy consumption in a replicable way.
This measurement method is described in detail here (see Fig. 4 for lab setup): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167739X17314188
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social …sue Selenium? What’s going on with the alt text?
@mizah@macrofurs.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Did you ( @kde@floss.social ) generate your alt text with something?
@Orca @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Nah, it's probably just a small typo, it should say "use"
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Have you measured Akonadi based applications? I just had to uninstall Kontact because the memory consumption brought down my computer. It was also constantly writing to disk and requiring 10% CPU, probably indexing related?
Yeah, disable file indexing or wait until it finishes.
