Notification sounds and system sounds on Linux should be granular
The state in current desktops (in Fedora 37) seems somewhat mixed. Cinnamon gives you control over what sounds its desktop shell makes, but not over what notification sounds its applications generate (never mind applications from other desktops). GNOME, in its 'Notifications' section, offers specific controls over sound usage by notification by application, but only for GNOME applications. If you dig deep enough in KDE settings, KDE seems to have quite fine grained control over notification sounds from certain KDE applications, but this doesn't seem to include applications that are merely KDE-based, like kdiff3.

Know your inner quantum with open leadership
This isn't an article about quantum computing. I was watching Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and this line of dialogue got me thinking:
It made me think about quantum concepts. I've always believed in continuous improvement and trusted that there is always room for improvement. I believe you must have a passion for personal growth, be able to contribute to your well-being, and look for opportunities that are helpful to organizations.
The word "quantum" is mesmerizing, strange, and scintillating. It means the "smallest discrete unit of a phenomenon." For me, it's about a mindset. It's the idea that thinking has power and that thinking power has the potential to affect reality. Quantum computing and quantum theories are moving towards becoming reality. If you take the time to learn from it, you can understand your inner quantum.
In this supersonic age of competition, technology is evolving every day. It is going through a revolution, and it is changing the paradigms. There are numerous questions and uncertainties. Leaders are expected to play a bigger role in these dynamics. In addition, when it comes to oneself, there are eternal questions that pop up. Who am I? What is my purpose as a human being? Why do I exist? How can I make a difference?
