‘Why let mere mortals decide CPU priorities when the cosmos can guide us?’ asks the developer.
To be clear, the point of this is to demonstrate the power and flexibility of a new Linux feature in a “haha only serious” way.
Zampieri is clear that this GPL-2.0 licensed project is a “scientifically dubious, cosmically hilarious” work. It definitely isn’t recommended for use in production systems - not because of bugs, but because it works as intended… The dev is still looking to add “more cosmic chaos” to scx_horoscope, so contributors are welcome.
Chaos nothing. Can you imagine a week with zero meetings because your seventh house of Saturn or whatever says it’s a bad week for collaboration? Amd this isn’t random movements. You can plan around this for years.
If anything this might actually be a way to introduce seemingly random prohibitions or days in which you only do certain things. Honestly, that doesn’t sound terrible.
I mean that’s kind of the point of astrology, energy ebbs and flows in different houses or areas of life. You just become aware of the energy so you can maximize it rather than fall into the shadow versions of it. Morally it’s not good or bad energy, it’s just energy.
