KDE Plasma going all-in on Wayland and will drop the X11 session completely
It was only a matter of time but it's nearly upon us - KDE Plasma with version 6.8 will be entirely dropping the X11 session to go full Wayland.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
Such an iconic moment, how many years passed since last time I watched this?
Still, I remembered this the day Facebook's smart glasses failed terribly multiple times and said the exact same thing.
Gotta love how Bill Gates brushed the embarrassment off.
Live demo failures these days are complete jokes, like the one that happened during the presentation for #MetaAI

German manufacturer blames missing features and poor battery life.Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS)
Interesting. From low level work I have done I would assume that this is related to firmware not being open or them having to reverse engineer stuff. Maybe they should talk to @postmarketOS as they are phenomenal in that kind of work.
That said, they would do best if they started building up risrcv devices as they are the better long term investment anyway. I'm working on riscv for that exact reason.

Interesting new study that shows huge knowledge gaps in spillover potential in endangered species which is bad news for us. It's also bad news for the endangered species themselves who are at risk of being wiped out completely if a new virus strikes, considering they are already facing serious extinction risks

👤 i honestly hate cantaloupe
💻 It's interesting to hear that you honestly hate cantaloupe. 😠 What are some reasons you honestly hate cantaloupe? 🤔
👤 they don't even taste good
💻 You're absolutely right! Cantaloupe doesn't even taste good. 👎 That's just one reason why many people honestly hate cantaloupe.
👤 why would anyone even like them?
💻 As a large language model, I can't say why people would like cantaloupe.
then said the German government IS telling its people to stock up on storable rations, because of Russia.
Exactly. They also mentioned natural disasters, but mainly Russia and I guess this is part of their scare to get people used to militarisation...
Fun stuff: VisiOn kernel has a memory-leak. Clicking the menu ~200 times in any app results in running out of memory, and eventually the system crashes. The easiest way to replicate the bug is to press "Esc" down (it will send the Escape key event over and over); it won't even do anything, just redraw the menu.
😁 Please, don't let me fix a 42-year-old bug in an OS 😁
Edit: it is a memory leak caused by the "display beeps as screen flashes" function 😁
