@dragfyre We hate birds they're not real birds... and they're spying on us.

@drj @nickmofo We're still using floppy disk icons for "save file" 😂

@drj @nickmofo I suppose students today don't even need to bother searching in Wiktionary, when LLMs can explain the meaning of words in context:

(I used an online dictionary in the parent post, but got stuck with two similar words and no way to choose).

PSA: Lost in Anime is a blog with nice reviews of current #anime series.

@benoit Ah, FINALLY!

I went into a super sento in Isesaki. At first I read the city name as Isekai 😆.

The electric bath was nice to relax the muscles. ☺️

End of today's trip, to be continued tomorrow...

@benoit Wait, how does the musical road work???

The bug isn't marked fixed, but you might want to try again with 5.27.8 and let the developers know if anything changed:

@greypilgrim @9to5linux @kde #wayland #kde #plasma

@greypilgrim @9to5linux @kde Some related commits were merged and later cherry-picked to the 5.27 branch in August:

@itsveganjim@mastodon.socia Interesting info, but the way this infographic presents it made me think: "I get 2x more protein from artichokes than asparagus".

From Wikipedia's #nutrition data, normalized to 100 g:

- artichokes: 2.81 g
- asparagus: 2.2 g
- broccoli: 2.82 g

But wait: those who are watching their weight should be advised that artichokes have over twice the energy density of broccoli: 74 vs 34 kcal. 🥦

There's already a large bag of frozen artichokes in my freezer, but good to know 🙂

@greypilgrim @9to5linux @kde I admit it, it has taken way too long to iron out all these issues, but I think it's finally time to start dropping native X11 sessions (keeping XWayland for legacy apps).

Focusing development and QA resources on a single platform will bring more benefits than harm to users at this point.

@greypilgrim @9to5linux @kde Ah, didn't know that. Is clipboard sharing broken even with GNOME Boxes? Sometimes it's just a matter of finding newer software with proper Wayland support.

@lebout2canap @9to5linux @kde btw, I didn't know open source software existed for this...

If schools require installing monitoring software, students and their parents should be able to verify that it won't do something malicious or questionable.

@lebout2canap @9to5linux @kde Sorry, couldn't resist 😜

I understand that missing this anti-feature might get Linux banned from certain schools...

@greypilgrim @9to5linux @kde You mean primary selection between X and Wayland apps? KDE Plasma finally fixed it one year ago. More recently, they fixed the big where clipboard contents got lost when the origin app quits.

@lebout2canap @9to5linux @kde Oh no, with Wayland we can no longer spy on kids, so terrible! 🙀

@solicitor @9to5linux @kde Indeed!

It was auto-fetched from the url when I created the post, but they must have edited the article afterwards!
