Satellite images show Antarctica is turning ‘green’ faster than previously thought.

Satellite imagery shows that vegetation on the peninsula grew from less than one square kilometres in 1986 to almost 12sqkm by 2021. #ClimateChange

Sacramento has tried criminalizing homelessness, but Flojaune Cofer, a candidate for mayor, argues that this approach has failed. She advocates for "safe ground" sites, where people can live with dignity while receiving essential services. boltsmag.org/the-epidemiologis…


GNOME Triple Buffering May Need To Be Re-Engineered - Helping NVIDIA Performance

I'm going to stick with my Intel graphics, X-Org, and the kernel X-server. Fuck Wayland and all corporate bullshit behind it. It does not network properly and right there is a show stopper for my needs.
in reply to Nanook

If you’re going to point fingers, point at the problem, not something you don’t understand.

Wayland has problems; it is not the problem. X needs a replacement and I strongly encourage you to research why if you don’t understand why. Wayland is relatively new, and has large shoes to fill.

It will be many years before it has matured enough to fill your and everyone else’s needs, and by then there will a new replacement for someone else to gripe about on the internet.

@dink A fundamental property of X was that it was a networked protocol, it allowed you to display an application running on one machine, on another. The kernel X-server has in no way been inadequate in terms of performance. So that is what I continue to use. Wayland might someday make Linux a viable game platform helping it replace Windows, and in that sense I applaud it, and perhaps Wayland on Wires will eventually make it a viable network protocol but it's not there yet.

Wayland is already old architecture by today's standards. It was designed in 2007 by the same people who did Xorg. Linux should have copied or ported the 2014 compositor version of Android (which is currently the one still used), which is the most advanced in existence. The license was good for it, and its technology the most advanced (neither MacOS/iOS or Win comes close). But Linux users have allergy on anything coming from Google and so we ended up with Wayland.


Das Nichteinhalten der Klimaziele ist riskanter als bisher gedacht. Das zeigt eine Untersuchung des im niederösterreichischen Laxenburg ansässigen Internationalen Instituts für Angewandte Systemanalyse (IIASA). Ein globaler Temperaturanstieg um mehr als 1,5 Grad Celsius bis Ende des Jahrhunderts könnte unumkehrbare Folgen für das Leben auf der Erde haben. science.orf.at/stories/3227053…

Even Chromecasts have AI image generators now.

After announcing it last month, Google seems to have rolled out Google TV’s AI wallpapers, 9to5Google reports.

According to a Google TV support page, the option lives under Settings > System > Ambient Mode > Custom AI Art. Click on “Create new...” and then describe the image you want, use a template, or choose “Inspire me” and Google TV makes one for you.

Election officials vow to all citizens impacted by Helene:
“Buncombe County will vote”

Hurricane #Helene caused an estimate $8-14 billion in insurance losses.
Hurricane #Milton is likely to cause billions more.
Insurers are starting to take climate-fueled disasters into account and raising insurance rates dramatically.
We're discussing this issue NOW in a live webinar:

Fake "Auto Workers for Trump" Are Exposed, Wrecking a Bigger Trump Lie (Greg Sargent/New Republic)

A lot of work went into making this transparent iPhone 16 Pro.

Wanting to put its internals on display, YouTube’s Phone Repair Guru stripped an iPhone 16 Pro’s back panel down to the glass using a surprisingly complicated process. Gallium was even used to remove a thin layer of aluminum as the two metals react to create a soft alloy. The results look great, but maybe don’t try this mod at home.

The first rule of #IoT : nobody who is tech savy wants IoT. Like Prime puts it, "keep it a hobby".

Although, IF you gave me the power to handle the IoT market and let me define market precedent, I'd make it illegal not to #opensource the #firmware

Like you couldn't sell a single device with any firmware on it: It would be YOUR DUTY as a #consumer to grab that code off of GitHub, build and deploy it yourself.

If you can't do that, you shouldn't have any IoT.

Where can I propose new features for PyPi?

It would be very convenient to filter by last update date leaving the sorting by relevance ✅

For example I'm searching for libraries with the term "opengraph" and I see 102 projects in the results, but the first ones in the list have not been updated for several years 👇
pypi.org/search/?q=opengraph

I would like to have an easy way to do the same search but only see the packages that have had at least one update in the last 2 years 💡
