FVWM The King Of The Window Manger Forks
There are so many window managers out there but when you look at a project like FVWM, so many really cool projects have stemmed of off it so lets talk about ...YouTube
FVWM is/was great. I started using more or less when it started and I've used it as recently as 2022 on some custom embedded "carputer" type devices. Totally themeable/strippable/placeable.
Would like to see a #wayland version but... probably won't happen.
Had a stint of using #afterstep for a number of years. On an Intel Pentium dual P90 homebuilt. Ha!

“Feudalism” was always caricature of what medieval governance actually was, but in the digital era we have adopted that caricature. The acceptance of unaccountable admins spread through our networks and is now bleeding into our politics.

Why can't more journalists reporting on "AI" straightforwardly say "This is bad, actually"? Case in point: In this article juxtaposing the grandiose claims of OpenAI et al with the massive environmental footprint of LLMs, Goldman still has to include this weird AI optimism:

Of course, there is always a certain amount of madness that goes along with developing new technologies. [And the potential for advanced AI systems to help tackle climate change issues]—to predict weather, identify pollution, or improve agriculture, for example—[is real]. In addition, the massive costs of developing and running sophisticated AI models will likely continue to put pressure on companies to make them more energy-efficient.
Still, as Silicon Valley and the rest of California suffer through ever-hotter summers and restricted water use, it seems like sheer lunacy to simply march towards the development of AGI without being equally concerned about data centers guzzling scarce water resources, AI computing power burning excess electricity, and Big Tech companies quietly stepping away from previously touted climate goals.

Marathon 2 a classic FPS originally from Destiny developer Bungie now on Steam
After the Aleph One developer community released the first in the trilogy of Marathon on Steam, originally created by Bungie, they've now put up Classic Marathon 2.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Marathon 1, 2, and Infinity were a huge part of my early teens. I still love the story and vibe. It makes me wish Halo and Destiny were a little grittier.
I feel like I only found them because Bungie had claimed the super-weird niche of being a Mac-first software company and my dad would only buy Apple.
I think a lot of people missed out since they were on PC. And now it's finally on Steam 😂 👴
