COSMIC's New System Monitor Is Looking Very Slick

([GNOME] 6 Hours Ago COSMIC System Monitor)


Not only is [1]GNOME 51 working to replace GNOME System Monitor with its new replacement , but over in System76's COSMIC space they have been baking their own new system monitor too.

This week's release of [2]COSMIC Epoch 1.1 introduces the COSMIC-Monitor as their own replacement to GNOME System Monitor as well.

This COSMIC System Monitor is designed to go hand-in-hand with COSMIC and Pop!_OS. It's built in Rust like the rest of their desktop and using the libcosmic toolkit. This program supports CPU, process, memory, GPU, disk, and network performance monitoring.

Those wanting to learn more about the COSMIC System Monitor and screenshots can check it out via the new post on the [3]System76 blog .

curtation, n.:
The enforced compression of a string in the fixed-length field
environment.
The problem of fitting extremely variable-length strings such as names,
addresses, and item descriptions into fixed-length records is no trivial
matter. Neglect of the subtle art of curtation has probably alienated more
people than any other aspect of data processing. You order Mozart's "Don
Giovanni" from your record club, and they invoice you $24.95 for MOZ DONG.
The witless mapping of the sublime onto the ridiculous! Equally puzzling is
the curtation that produces the same eight characters, THE BEST, whether you
order "The Best of Wagner", "The Best of Schubert", or "The Best of the Turds".
Similarly, wine lovers buying from computerized wineries twirl their glasses,
check their delivery notes, and inform their friends, "A rather innocent,
possibly overtruncated CAB SAUV 69 TAL." The squeezing of fruit into 10
columns has yielded such memorable obscenities as COX OR PIP. The examples
cited are real, and the curtational methodology which produced them is still
with us.

MOZ DONG n.
Curtation of Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo da
Ponte, as performed by the computerized billing ensemble of the Internat'l
Preview Society, Great Neck (sic), N.Y.
