HDR and color management in KWin, part 3 (May 11)
  • I run Wayland on my desktop, but there's nothing (in my flow) that I miss on my work or travel laptop (which are both X11)

    I guess external monitors are a little clunky on my work laptop, but monitor profiles on XFCE solve the problem (and that's assuming I wouldn't have issues on Wayland, too).

    I'm not a Wayland hater, I just don't have much benefit from it and am waiting for XFCE and the accessibility APIs to get better before I switch.

  • Locked
    Firefox user loses 7,470 opened tabs saved over two years after they can’t restore browsing session
  • Is this a new mental illness I haven't heard of?

    In an interview with PCMag, Hazel said she keeps all those tabs open because she likes “to scroll back and see clusters of tabs from months ago — it’s like a trip down memory lane on whatever I was doing/learning about/thinking about.” So, when she recovered her 7,000+ tab browsing session, she said, “I feel like a part of me is restored.”

    Actually that's kinda cool. I shouldn't be a hater.

    Btw for those who don't know, this app is called Blind. It's where tech workers go to anonymously post. Also 700k TC is basically their yearly take-home pay, and it's a real number (see levels.fyi)

    When building products to last, it’s not enough to design the hardware to be repairable, upgradeable, and customizable. The overall longevity of devices as complex as modern notebooks also depends on how long the software and firmware continues to be useful.
