They're gonna take me out back and shoot me for saying it but Launchpad too. Like I'm glad it works for you but it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997. How are we going to attract new talent when the rift between the average developers and the old guard widens over time. All the git VCS modernization supercharged development. Like bugzilla was "fine", but " fine" was the problem in a world of better when you couldn't even upload a > 250kb jpeg and other legacy hold us back stuff.

Agree - after they started bundling adware in downloads (2013ish?), all the decent projects seemed to move to github en masse.
Those projects that stayed were mostly already stagnant, or the maintainers didn't use git and didn't want to learn, or had some other reason that allowed them to accept advertising on their work.

Oh I'm not complaining. Its quick and simple to navigate. I don't need flash, I need function.
I wouldn't mind updates with that aspect kept in mind, but I'm not going to complain about it either. I think more websites could use debian.org as an example.
And that's especially true for Linux and other big projects.
I'm not a kernel or C developer by any stretch, but a few years ago fixed a small bug that caused my knockoff PS2 controllers to act super weird. Nothing serious, something like one constant and maybe 5 lines of code. Would have gladly pushed that upstream, but fuck me sideways is that a complicated process. Patches via email??? And the argument is always "but it works for us", yeah burning witches and slavery also work for some people, doesn't mean it's something to continue doing.
If there isn't a serious revamp, Linux will die a slow death or become just a corporate graveyard product like Cobol.

"Remember any Linux desktop distro that targets the end user? Pretty sure it's dead"
Get over yourselves, Linux desktop will never succeed unless there's professional and proprietary software that people really need to be productive / make money available for it. I'm talking about Adobe, MS Office, Autodesk and all the specific stuff that forces people into using Windows. Don't believe me? Look at the gaming space, it only became marginally relevant once Steam decided to start porting all their proprietary games (software) to Linux.
I watched the GitHub and it looks like it's deepin os with a custom settings app and a MacOS style dock.
At that point just install deepin os and hope they don't lie about user privacy (being owned by a Chinese for-profit doesn't help)
zmk-rgbled-widget: A ZMK module to add battery & BT indicators using an RGB LED (like in Xiao BLEs)
I find that having a way to check the battery and connection status is very useful with wireless devices. Traditionally, the way to do this is through the addition of a display. However I always thought displays were a bit overkill for that and once I started using Xiao BLE controllers I noticed that they have an RGB LED built onto the controller itself that can be programmed.
So I wrote a small tool to indicate the battery and BT profile status that uses that LED, and I thought I'd share more broadly in case it is useful to others. It's pretty easy to add to your ZMK build as documented in the README as it is a ZMK module.
While it supports Seeeduino Xiao BLE out of the box, it's also easy to add support for it if you have a custom keyboard that has three dumb LEDs for RGB colors.

Nice! It was essentially my first Zephyr project and I tried to make it accessible code-wise, so I am happy you found it useful in that regard.
I know at least a couple other people that adapted it to a single LED. I’d probably do it too if I needed it but I’d find it difficult to share it with others given that decoding the information is harder for others.

Interesting running it in QEMU. If possible, it might be better to use a container if the host kernel supports this because performance and resource consumption should both be significantly improved.
However, an emulator provides great flexibility I'll give you that.
Yes indeed. I develop QEMU at work mainly implementation of new hardware as needed for my employer. It has a software emulator, but it’s not very good. It’s acceptable.
The instruction generation backend does not seem to prioritize performance. Instead, it prioritizes accuracy and ease of maintenance. There is low-hanging fruit for making it faster but there isn’t much interest in doing so for the TCG backend. The attitude seems to be that it’s good enough.
For a small example, you may find it interesting that QEMU does not implement floating point acceleration. It’s done in software even though the host has floating point instructions. It usually doesn’t attempt to use those floating point hardware facilities on the host and instead execute many hundreds of instructions to do floating point using the Berkeley software implementation. Almost never does this matter but it costs a lot of performance. Compare this to the translation performed by projects like FEX and Box64 which do and blow QEMU out of the water for specific use cases.
Another place in the emulator that could be improved is handling of executable pages or cached output of the backend code generator. The executable code caching mechanism is very simple and could probably be much more aggressive on today’s systems.
If you examine change logs, TCG really doesn’t get much TLC last time I checked. It could be a better emulator but performance outside of KVM use case is not as important to the project.
Slow...
I think it might be better to use aarch64 for the guest. I'll have to play around
for the semantically inquisitive folk.
It's worth noting if you are using this on an arm device, this isn't a "virtualization VM" any more, as you are using the emulator backend, so this is far closer to a traditional emulator then anything else.
While the term virtual machine is extremely poorly defined, it could still apply.
also TCG is as slow as molasses, it's a good demo, not actually usable for much, at least unless it's a super beefy phone.
I imagine it runs much more nicely than UTM SE on iOS. I was never able to get UTM JIT to work.
Honestly, I want to jump ship from Apple, but I'm not in a position to do so at this time.

It has been confirmed from within the occupation entity that Hezbollah has indeed succeeded with Operation Arbaeen in reaching and striking the 8200 intelligence unit, informed sources told Al Mayadeen on Thursday.
The sources mentioned that at least six Resistance drones succeeded in penetrating the Zionist air defenses, adding that it has been undeniably confirmed that the drones hit their targets inside the Glilot base with high accuracy, prompting the occupation regime to impose a tight security cordon around the base, extending several kilometers deep.
This cordon remained in place for several hours, restricting access for both civilian and military personnel, the sources indicated.
Elsewhere, the sources told Al Mayadeen that, for Hezbollah, Operation Arbaeen has been a complete success beyond any doubt despite the complete Israeli security, military, and media blackout.
Hezbollah confirmed on Sunday that it launched an “initial response” to the assassination of Commander Martyr Fouad Shokor by launching a large number of drones deep into the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon clarified that the attack targeted a strategic Israeli military site.
Later, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced that the primary targets of Sunday’s operation were the central Glilot base of Zionist military intelligence Aman, incorporating the central hub of Unit 8200, located near Tel Aviv, and the Ein Shemer airbase.
He confirmed that “a significant number of drones hit their intended targets, but the enemy is keeping all relevant details concealed.”
Sayyed Nasrallah explained that the operation entailed two phases. The initial phase was focused on targeting sites and barracks in northern occupied Palestine with the hundreds of intended rockets to exhaust and deplete the Iron Dome and interceptor missiles, which paved the way for phase two, which saw the swarms of drones heading toward their intended targets.
Hezbollah’s Secretary-General debunks Israeli claims
In an attempt to hide its losses, the occupation military claimed that, in preemptive strikes, it struck “thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers” by some 100 fighter jets. But Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that the Israeli account of events was “full of lies,” reflecting the inherent weakness of the entity.
He made it clear that the Resistance, with a clear and precise strategy, had no intention of using such weapons in this particular operation.
The Lebanese Resistance leader affirmed that the regime had no intel whatsoever, stressing that all its raids an hour before the operation were the result of the natural movement of Hezbollah’s fighters on the ground in preparation for the operation.
He affirmed that “all the raids launched by the enemy did not target the area of operation” and did not have any impact whatsoever on Operation Arbaeen.
“Our initial plan was to launch 300 rockets in this operation, but we ended up launching 340,” the Hezbollah chief indicated, affirming that the Zionist military “did not thwart anything.”
“What was planned was achieved to the fullest,” Sayyed Nasrallah asserted.
Occupying regime misleading the public
Informed sources had also told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli occupation forces’ claims of thwarting Hezbollah’s operation are unfounded and are part of a broader effort to mislead the Zionist public.
In fact, despite the occupation’s heightened state of alert and the presence of military aircraft over Lebanese airspace throughout the night, Hezbollah’s missiles and drones successfully reached their designated targets.
The Israeli narrative of preventing an attack involving over a thousand missiles, including precision-guided ones, is baseless and fabricated, the sources added.
Moreover, it has been confirmed that Hezbollah managed, after a month-long period of heightened Zionist alertness, to achieve its objectives despite the Israeli occupation’s reliance on substantial American intelligence and operational support.

You're talking about extensions.
Extensions that don't come from GNOME are not supported at all, they've made that clear. If they wanted to, they could just stop allowing third party extensions altogether.
This is because they hook directly into GNOME Shell's' internal JS, which changes every release as they refactor it for performance or feature changes. Developers have a few months before release to adjust their extensions for the newer version.
Personally, I just raw dog vanilla GNOME for stability, and it works fine.
We've had this on KDE for a year or two now, and it's mostly been great.
It won't mean no more blurry apps unfortunately, but games will render at the correct resolution and some xwayland apps will look a lot better.

I've spent a good amount of time studying various DNA processes and never once made a connection between i-motifs and clippy. Great catch! lol
The thing is, our cells create these "knots" to make room for enzymes to access our DNA. They're quite common as it's required for DNA transcription + replication, chromosome segregation in cell division, telomere maintenance, and to alter gene expression. Not sure how I overlooked what happens if they form more often than intended. Wild to learn it can lead to cancer, neurodegeneration, and heart disorders! Guess I missed two massive aspects when studying all this, the imapct of DNA forming i-motifs too often, and the resemblance to clippy hahaha.

The Yemeni Military Media released on Thursday footage of the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) storming and detonating explosives on the Greek SOUNION oil tanker in the Red Sea.
The YAF said the vessel had violated the ban imposed by the YAF on entering the ports of occupied Palestine.
The video depicted the damage inflicted on the ship after it was attacked and showed the storming operation as it was underway at sea. A Yemeni Armed Forces soldier is also seen inspecting the interior of the vessel before preparing to detonate and set it on fire.
The detonation operation was recorded from afar, as the YAF soldiers hailed the operation, chanting, “Down with Israel.”
Earlier on Thursday, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, revealed that the Yemeni naval forces carried out top-tier and major operations this week, including the “courageous and bold operation” of storming the SOUNION vessel.
He mentioned that two teams from the Yemeni naval forces boarded the ship in two phases, rigged it with explosives, and detonated it, destroying its cargo.
On August 22, YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced that the SOUNION vessel was struck with accuracy while navigating in the Red Sea and was at risk of sinking.
The head of Sanaa’s negotiating delegation and the Ansar Allah spokesperson, Mohammad Abdul Salam, confirmed on Wednesday that the government will allow the towing of the SOUNION vessel from the Red Sea.
Abdul Salam revealed that Sanaa has responded to the calls of international parties, particularly European ones, emphasizing that the attack on the oil tanker is evidence of Yemen’s resolve to target any vessel that violates the ban it has set on maritime navigation for Israeli-affiliated vessels and companies.
Rust for Linux revisited (by Drew DeVault)
In practice, the Linux community is the wild wild west, and sweeping changes are infamously difficult to achieve consensus on, and this is by far the broadest sweeping change ever proposed for the project. Every subsystem is a private fiefdom, subject to the whims of each one of Linux’s 1,700+ maintainers, almost all of whom have a dog in this race. It’s herding cats: introducing Rust effectively is one part coding work and ninety-nine parts political work – and it’s a lot of coding work. Every subsystem has its own unique culture and its own strongly held beliefs and values.The consequences of these factors is that Rust-for-Linux has become a burnout machine. My heart goes out to the developers who have been burned in this project. It’s not fair. Free software is about putting in the work, it’s a classical do-ocracy… until it isn’t, and people get hurt. In spite of my critiques of the project, I recognize the talent and humanity of everyone involved, and wouldn’t have wished these outcomes on them. I also have sympathy for many of the established Linux developers who didn’t exactly want this on their plate… but that’s neither here nor there for the purpose of this post, and any of those developers and their fiefdoms who went out of their way to make life difficult for the Rust developers above and beyond what was needed to ensure technical excellence are accountable for these shitty outcomes.
...
Here’s the pitch: a motivated group of talented Rust OS developers could build a Linux-compatible kernel, from scratch, very quickly, with no need to engage in LKML politics. You would be astonished by how quickly you can make meaningful gains in this kind of environment; I think if the amount of effort being put into Rust-for-Linux were applied to a new Linux-compatible OS we could have something production ready for some use-cases within a few years.
...
Having a clear, well-proven goal in mind can also help to attract the same people who want to make an impact in a way that a speculative research project might not. Freeing yourselves of the LKML political battles would probably be a big win for the ambitions of bringing Rust into kernel space. Such an effort would also be a great way to mentor a new generation of kernel hackers who are comfortable with Rust in kernel space and ready to deploy their skillset to the research projects that will build a next-generation OS like Redox. The labor pool of serious OS developers badly needs a project like this to make that happen.

Monolithic kernels were a mistake /s
But honestly its too bad that adopting new technology is so difficult in large projects like the Linux kernel where arguably trying to replicate the success of Linux AND adopt new technology sounds extremely burdensome.
Worse I fear the lose of the libre ethos in new projects as they feel the need to bend that ethical barrier more in order to better "compete" with Linux.
The ignorance being referenced is next level. Frankly some heads should roll on this, if you dont know the language shutup. You have nothing to add.

"Every subsystem is a private fiefdom, subject to the whims of each one of Linux’s 1,700+ maintainers, almost all of whom have a dog in this race. It’s herding cats"
There are three similes in that quote. When your considerations are that disorganized, you have not finished thinking everything through. Fiefdoms, dogs and cats ... oh my! That's on top of wild west and other trite, well worn and rather silly similes.
Make your argument without recourse to inflammatory terminology and similes and you slighten the risk of pissing people off.
Clarity is in the eye of the beholder or as someone once said: "You do you".
Large organizations always have politics—it's human nature. 1700 people is quite a large organization. Therefore, the kernel maintainers have politics. The presence of politics always means that some people will get stomped on unfairly.
This is all business as usual, in other words, and it will not go away. At best, you can shift the culture of the group and the politics along with it, but that takes time and effort and people-handling.

Which brings me to my point that I don't think "cocaine" is exclusively for the hydrochloride salt. Sure, freebase cocaine has its own name (crack), but it still is cocaine. So I'd wager a guess saying cocaine is defined as any extract from the plant.
Let's see.
Well some so, yeah. Mostly it's just referring to the alkaloid, but I'd agree with you that chewing leafs doesn't constitute "using cocaine".
Because I'm pretty sure that, say, Bohemian alchemists would've had no trouble making a potent concoction from the leaves. And I mean "Bohemian" and "concoction" in their literal meanings.
