Fedora Workstation 41 will drop GNOME X.Org session as fallback option

While defaulting to GNOME on Wayland since version 25 of Fedora, and Fedora version 34 for KDE Plasma Desktop, this Linux distribution intends to completely ditch X.Org session as fallback for GNOME on release 41.

Nasa is absolutely the better part of that partnership. John Oliver's video about Boeing is devastating. What is NASA doing to ensure this project isn't affected by Boeing's corporate values? I have no idea myself, but I hope NASA is in control of the project.

"A major factor behind the skyrocketing demand is the rapid innovation in artificial intelligence"

AI is going to kill us, just not the way the AI hype-mongers tell us.

(Hint: the *real* problems are never what the tech enthusiasts point to)

Projected new energy demand in North America doubles 2023 is twice 2022

Amid explosive demand, America is running out of power

Artificial intelligence, data centers and the boom in clean-tech manufacturing are pushing America’s aging power grid to the brink. Utilities can’t keep up.

Accidentally opened Steam on my M1 MacBook Air.

Rust (the game, not the language, you nerds) runs on Macs!?

But not on #Linux (I know why).

I wonder how many people play this game on a Mac 🤔

I used to play it on #Ubuntu quite a lot. Bit of a time-sink. So it's probably for the best that I don't play it anymore. It just baffled me that it's possible to download it. Not that I will, obviously 😇

FWIW, it wasn't illegal for the creator to sell their emulator for a price. Bleem won that decades ago. But I can understand if they don't want the stress after Yuzu and Citra.

I've heard that FBI (a homebrew package manager for installing .cia files on 3DS) was also pulled.

I was planning to get one of those samsung tab ultras for uni, as the timing would match with the snapdragon gen 4 release (the one that's beefier than an M2 or 3) so that I could also play zelda tokt on it (their displays are gorgeous). I do have the apk of the last release, but it's a bummer I'm probably stuck with what's supported right now unless someone dares to continue development (which, tbh, is probably going to happen).
