Now I understand what people mean when they write about “daily driving” in connection with their OSs.

Merry LinuXmas! 🎄🐧

PIMP.

Enshittification begins?

Thank you for the info. I’ll try a live USB with Kubuntu 25.10 or 26.04dev and check it out. Now that you mention that, the blurriness was indeed related with scaling (though not fractional).

The main one is the Wacom stylus & screen, on a Thinkpad X1Extreme. I tried Wayland from a live Kubuntu 24.04, and in settings there was the message “Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported”. At that point I didn’t check anything else. I also noticed that the desktop and windows weren’t so “crisp” as they were under X11, although I can’t exactly explain where the feeling came from; probably I would have chosen X11 even if the stylus had worked.

I suspect that I can actually login on a Wayland session even now; I’ll try it out as soon as I have time.

Thank you, I didn’t know this, it’s comforting and gives a bit of hope!

Good to hear! Keeping my fingers crossed.

Why not be a professional scientist by:

• adding “in mice” to the title;
• using modern statistical methods instead of continuously discredited procedures like p-values?

True. Let’s hope and see.

Or stylus users. If the stylus functionality won’t be fixed in Wayland when this change happens, I’ll have stop my regular donation to KDE and start looking for another desktop environment to support.

It’s been one of the poorest “animations” I’ve ever seen; not in the One-Punch Man series, but in anime in general. Not only there’s lots of just panning and zooming, but the image that’s panned or zoomed has much lower quality than the manga. Lots of frozen facial expressions with only the mouth moving, it reminds me of Clutch Cargo or of the cut-out animations of Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam. Of course all anime do this to some degree, but in this case it’s so extreme that you become completely aware of it.

Blame or no blame, one reason or another, it’s J.C. Staff that made this, and it sucks. I wonder how an animation studio can do something like this; it affects the studio’s popularity and can only have negative consequences down the line.

For trackpad gestures, check out touchegg and touché; I’m using it on Kubuntu.

Well done, Joachim! 🙌

The campaign has irked some recipients. “In terms of dialog within a democracy, this is not a dialog,” said Lena Düpont, a German member of the European People’s Party group and its home affairs spokesperson, of the mass emails.

Funny comment, seeing how EU was not even planning a referendum to check whether the majority of EU citizens approve such a proposal or not. EU did not even think of a dialogue with the citizens.

And funny how the article presents the proposal as something against sexual child-abuse material. As if abusers really used normal chat apps to make such exchanges…

Similar cool and scientifically correct simulations:

What I wonder: are the majority of UK citizens OK with this law?

Not that it matters probably, as UK isn’t a democracy in practice…

Spy x Family in roughly one week, and One Punch Man in roughly two 😭 (joy).

Interesting new titles too. What’s the one so long that it covers the whole image (on my mobile browser)? 😂

Thanks for sharing!

It isn’t enough to send emails to representatives and pass word. We must get out on the street with signs and protest march, and even go on strike.

If we care, that is.
