I actually even made my own bullshit-Spotify. As in, I’ve got a server running on a single-board computer which reads my music folder and serves a small music player as a webpage.
I didn’t want to install a music player client on my work laptop, but still wanted to listen to my own songs there.
This looks like one of the color blindness filters got activated. Here on Plasma 6, it’s a Desktop Effect in the System Settings. Not quite sure, if that was also already the case in Plasma 5, but if you just type “blind” into the search bar of the System Settings, then it should show up and you can disable it.
What is this article talking about? That’s a UX change. It has nothing to do with privacy or Mozilla’s commitment to privacy.
Quantum computers won’t displace traditional computers. There’s certain niche use-cases for which quantum computers can become wildly faster in the future. But for most calculations we do today, they’re just unreliable. So, they’ll mostly coexist.
What the absolute fuck. How do you look at the MAGA trainwreck and think, that’s something we should copy.
Ah, that’s a pity, but I half-expected that to be what’s still work-in-progress, especially since I’m also using Activities to group my workspaces.
I do hope the new system allows creating something more reliable in the long-term, though.
I’ve been waiting for this release, because of the first item on the first TWiK after the release of Plasma 6.0:
There’s a new KWin effect called “Hide Cursor” (off by default for now, but try it!) that will automatically hide the pointer after a period of inactivity (Jin Liu, Plasma 6.1. Link)

Plasma 6.1 on Wayland now has a feature that “remembers” what you were doing in your last session like it did under X11. Although this is still work in progress
Well, prepare your butts. I’ve got 20+ virtual desktops and I’m only mildly afraid to log out of them.
I was thinking recently, with how many pollinators we’re hemorrhaging, often simply because their habitat is destroyed or poisoned by pesticides, we really need to get some strips of untouched nature around the place. Cool, that there was already something in the works here.
Yeah, that was basically my reaction, too. There was also some news that the CEO would now be taking responsibility for security, which had me similarly questioning what the hell they were doing so far.
Surely, the CEO is responsible for everything. So, did they just completely forget that security is also part of that?
They did tell their employees to prioritize security above all else, right before not doing that.
You mean like how they told their employees to prioritize security above all else and then had effectively none in Recall?
Man, I always thought the bigger SUVs looked like those oversized clown shoes, but the size comparison picture does drive home just how much dead air is in them.

Nah, I’m not ignorant, just cynical.
I make digital music myself. I’ve had that moment myself, where for a quick moment I thought, surely there could be some ‘proper’ way of rotating an audio source around your head.
And well, there is not, it is always just an effect thing.
As in, even in reality, our hearing is literally stereo, because we’ve got precisely two eardrums, two membranes that do the detection. Yes, the ear flaps shape the sound, but you can do the same shaping with just effects. Make it a bit more muffled when it comes from behind, for example, and hope you don’t need to also portray that something muffled comes from the front. And of course, always slap a heavy virtualizer effect on there.
In the end, it’s smokes and mirrors that our brain then interprets as something spatial. I don’t have a problem with smokes and mirrors. I do still find it humorous, though.
I enjoy how “spatial audio” makes it sound all fancy, even though it’s just stupid stereo.
They had written that you could fit the entire world’s waste on a football field. I had not interpreted that as specifically referring to high level nuclear waste.
It’s not toxic, nor is it in their backyard.
It is toxic and they wrote “NIMBY”, which means “not in my backyard”, which is what I used figuratively here.
What issues?
Depends on the location. In Asse, there is water entering into the caverns, for example.
Good thing we don’t need to.
You should inform the BGE about it. They’ll be glad to hear all their challenges are solved.
The rightwing extremist party of Germany, AfD, also has ties to Russia…
