JWST: NIRCam - NGC 4449 by Thomas Carpentier
  • I assume that this picture is almost entirely artistic impression since (afaik) it's not from the JWST team. I think this would look much like any other space photo if done with true colour, but I don't know for certain.

    Pirating on consoles?
  • *I misread this post as asking about PS3, please disregard this message.

    If you'd like to for fun, but I've been using RPCS3 to emulate it. Ofc it's not the same as the console (i.e. you don't have to navigate the internal menu) but the games still play the same. This amazing archive has every PS3 game in the universe, all for free.

    IMO the largest obstacles won't be the console, but the discs and controllers. I haven't checked recently, but I doubt these will be decreasing in price with time.

    [Image description: At the bottom of the image a small portion of the Horsehead Nebula is seen close-in, as a curved wall of thick, smoky gas and dust. Above the nebula various distant stars and galaxies can be seen up to the top of the image. One star is very bright and large, with six long diffraction spikes that cross the image. The background fades from a dark red colour above the nebula to black.]

    [Ubuntu 23.10] Increased responsiveness possibly by setting xwayland-allow-grabs to true in dconf?

    Hello,

    Recently there was this annoying 'feature' that would, for example, search the desktop for "t" if I tried to open the terminal with "ctr+alt+t" (the same for any other shortcut as soon as there's useable input). I started searching around for a fix until I eventually found org/gnome/mutter/wayland/xwayland-allow-grabs in dconf which, after enabling it, stopped my computer from searching for the letter t on my desktop and opening new tabs everywhere else. It also seems to have had an unexpected upside of increasing responsiveness on my desktop. I.e. much faster word search in .pdf files, snappier opening/closing of windows, seemingly smoother gameplay, etc.

    My previous attempts were also to force gdm3 to use xorg (which I edited back because it made things slower), a whole bunch of logging in and out, disabling (and re-enabling) the dock, and a few system restarts. None of these seemed to effect any change though, I only realized better responsiveness after setting allow-grabs to true.

    Can someone tell me if my mushy, sleep deprived brain is correct in assuming that this dconf setting made my computer a bit faster, or was it something else?

    Thanks!

    [Image Description: Many small galaxies are scattered on a black background: mainly, white, oval-shaped and red, spiral galaxies. The image is dominated by a dwarf irregular galaxy, which hosts a bright region of white and blue stars at its core that appear as two distinct lobes. This region is surrounded by brown dusty filaments. At the bottom centre of the image, a companion galaxy is visible that appears as a collection of blue stars.]
