This new release contains two new protocols:

  • ext-data-control - allow privileged clients to control data devices, e.g. a clipboard manager.

If I see "I asked ChatGTP..." in an article I'm immediately closing it, fyi. Doesn't matter how interested I am in the topic of the article, that's a massive "I'm wasting my time here" from me

One of the talks at #DitchSummit is how we can make use of AI such as ChatGPT, but by asking questions to multiple AI and a normal search engine, comparing and contrasting results and applying critical thinking to these results.

Asking one source is not going to cut it as far as doing good research is concerned. A lot of good ideas on this topic.

#OTD in 1904.

The first of Virginia Woolf's published writings, "Haworth, November 1904", an account of a visit to the Brontë family home, appears anonymously in a women's supplement to a clerical journal, The Guardian. (A book review written later has appeared in the same journal a week earlier.)

Thou hast let billionaires play god, and now they’re treating thy government like a game of Twister—one hand on greed, one foot on corruption, and a fucking faceplant right into dystopia.

#ArduinoLibraries #FOSS #Bot

ArduinoLibs bot is one year old 🎉

🐘 fosstodon.org/@arduinoLibs
🟦 bsky.app/profile/arduinolibs.b…

the fediverse account didn't grow much though 🤔

is there any bot owner out there that could help me understand that gap?

possible causes I can think of:

- bot filtering/throttling is stronger on fediverse than on bluesky
- account landed in a federated blacklist
- server landed in a federated blacklist
- fediverse community doesn't care about that kind of content



Installed #Kubuntu 24.10 over a UAlinux 20.04 yesterday for reasons. Install went ok, maybe 15 minutes. Then came the problems. The laptop's HDMI port wasn't recognized, so no external screen. The drivers for the graphics card weren't installed, not even Nouveau. Customization settings are not preserved, this is like a bug from 2011. The mouse doesn't work in games. It's a shambles. How is such trash meant to ever replace Windoze?

to add to my post, all the problems I mentioned went away when I changed from Wayland back to X11. The guilty party was Wayland, this thing is so not ready for mainstream use, and #kubuntu 24.10 makes this crap the default. #linux #gamingonlinux


LibreOffice
libreoffice.org/

I use this for over 10 years now. In my opinion it's much better than Microsoft Office, which I am forced to use at work. But I use LibreOffice wherever possible, especially in my private life.
