NVIDIA Doesn't Suck On Linux Anymore
For the longest time NVIDIA has been known to be a mess on Linux but too my surprise things are actually finally being resolved and not just resolved but bec...YouTube
firstly happy belated birthday, and second owing to the fact that video was recorded a month ago, then in theory 555 will hit in days? On Wednesday to be specific?
Can you explain more about the Wayland/Nvidia race condition that makes some people with Nvidia on Wayland have a sucky time while others (like me) have no issues at all?
And whose fault will this be once they get a mouth full of prickles?
CLEARLY YOURS!

As a long-time XFCE-user I can fully subscribe to the conclusion of this article: »non-GNOME GTK desktop environments need to work together to formulate an answer to the onslaught of libadwaita and the GNOME-ification of GTK. […] If they don’t, there won’t be an XFCE in a few years. What’s the point in developing XFCE if you’re at the mercy of whatever choices GNOME makes?« osnews.com/story/139512/linux-…
#GNOME #XFCE #GTK #libadwaita
it's such a shame the way Thom wrote the article makes it look like @linuxmint is fighting against GNOME, which isn't the interpretation I got when I read the original article. They're just trying to make those apps work well on their desktop and explaining why - GNOME apps are made for the GNOME desktop (tested, supported, etc.), and therefore the Cinnamon developers want to provide functional, well-tested platform-agnostic GTK apps, which is a valid reason that I 100% support.
Linux Mint isn't trashing GNOME in any way, and they also explicitly said they're not blaming GNOME for anything.
I'm not blaming GNOME either.
However, fact remains that libadwaita has sucked a lot of air out of the room for desktops like Xfce, and they're obviously feeling the squeeze. It's definitely not GNOME's job to cater to non-GNOME desktops, but there's no denying that the heavy focus on libadwaita is having negative side effects, and pointing that out should not be dismissed as being "anti-GNOME".
GNOME is a great desktop, and its developers are doing an amazing job, libadwaita included. That does not mean, however, that libadwaita's negative side effects on Xfce and other non-GNOME GTK-based desktops magically go away. They're experiencing real issues over there, and waving them away feels deeply unfair to the people working on Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, and others.
After several days of work, I finally pushed several commits to my website to accommodate those who rely on high contrast themes. Huge thanks to @acidiclight for helping me out by sharing a lot of feedback!
And a request to the broader community - feedback wanted and highly appreciated.

We got some bad news at the vet today, and I’m still trying to sort through my feelings, honestly. If the next few days bring some relief for our wee 14 year old Toy Poodle Kiwi, we might have a few more weeks or months with her — and that’s the best case scenario. We are fortunate to have such a kind and pragmatic vet, but…my heart hurts tonight. 😔
The new meds helped a little, but not enough. Kiwi’s last day was filled with sunshine, love, peace, and her favorite foods — blueberries and peaches.
She has been a joyful presence in our lives, and we will be forever grateful she chose us.
We promise to be there for and with them, right until the very last. And we promise to make the hard decisions, to not flinch, to not fade, but to stay true to that promise until the end. Run strong and free, Miss Kiwi. 💕

Ontogenesis, Organisation, and Organismal Agency
At first sight, the empirical study of ontogenesis and the theoretical study of organismal agency seem to have little in common. In this chapter, I discuss why this initial impression is incorrect.Johannes Jaeger (Springer International Publishing)
ich habe hier ein komische Anzeige mit dem Theme Frio.
Die Beiträge sind leer und erstrecken sich über die ganze Breite.
Wenn ich das Theme auf schwarz oder dunkel umstelle, ist es ein wenig besser, aber immer noch fehlerhaft. Rechts wird hier dann etwas zusätzlich angezeigt.
Im Theme Vier ist der Fehler nicht vorhanden.
ich hatte den Fehler schon mal vor ein paar Monaten. Hat dann aber wieder funktioniert. Ich denke, dass es an irgendeinem Beitrag liegt, der dann die Ansicht kaputt macht.
Das habe ich aktuelle unter Neu - Aktivität. Unter Neu - Empfangen taucht der Fehler nicht auf. Vermutlich, weil dort der Beitrag nicht enthalten ist.

I continue to be fascinated by the fact that when Jack Dorsey looks back at his time at Twitter, his only regret is that it was technically possible for him to ban the Nazis so people nagged him to do so.
So now his ideal social network is one where the moderators can’t ban Nazis.
So many gaming sites writing about how “Bungie” released Marathon on Steam or it’s “now free”.
Frustrating to see people not doing basic checks. It was the Aleph One team, not Bungie, and it’s been free for years. It’s just now on Steam.

we're getting the largest geomagnetic storm in 19 years in a few hours
it could impact #GPS, the #powergrid and maybe the #internet
tiny chance
it's rated a G4
we had a G5 in 2003 and it caused power outages in Sweden and damaged transformers in South Africa
on the plus side:
