@kat Thank you! I have to check out more of their stuff.
@movq Holy cow! O_o

Reducing the overall screen time is desireable, that's right. I should do the same.
I wasn’t really aware until recently that programs can’t choose their own window’s position on Wayland. This is very weird to me, because this was not an issue on X11 to begin with: X11 programs can request a certain position and size, but the X11 WM ultimately decides if that request is being honored or not. And users can configure that.

But apparently, this whole thing is a heated debate in the Wayland world. 🤔
@movq How many? All of them!

My goodness, what assholes. Reacting based on the User-Agent might just work. For now.

This is just the universe telling me to reduce my screen time.
@lyse To be fair, I did first notice this a while ago. But no monitor I ever had showed burn-ins like this (be it TFT or CRT), so I didn’t know that I *should have* sent it back. And then it got worse over time and now I see ghost images after 20-30 minutes. :(

linode's having a major outage (ongoing as of writing, over 24 hours in) and my friend runs a site i help out with on one of their servers. we didn't have recent backups so i got really anxious about possible severe data loss considering the situation with linode doesn't look great (it seems like a really bad incident).

...anyway the server magically came back online and i got backups of the whole application and database, i'm so relieved :')

If you think the EU-US agreement is good news, think again:

"We will replace Russian gas and oil with significant purchases of US LNG, oil and nuclear fuels," the European Commission President says in a statement.

@prologic I’d expect a custom build like that to cost at least 50'000€ here in Europe. *Used* campers with 100'000 - 200'000 km already on their clock are 20-40k€, apparently. 😆
We just met again after sleep to clean up all the rest. I now got food for literally two weeks. At least. No kidding!

@lyse Looks like it. 🤔 Didn’t dig deeper into this, just uninstalled it. 🥴
@lyse 4 years. 🫤
@movq It's about time to get a new monitor. How old is it, btw.?
Do I buy a new monitor or do I live with the burn-ins all the time? It’s getting annoying. When I edit images in GIMP, I have to double check if something is a pixel or a burn-in.
@prologic If anything looks expensive, then it’s *that*. 😅
@prologic Cool! What program do you use to draw this up?
@thecanine Nice! :-)

When tidying up my good mate's birthday party site last night we emptied the beer pong cups which had been filled with just ordinary tap water. There was also a cute dog whose owner gave it its drinking bowl, but it was not interested. Just for fun I offered it one of those water cups and it began to drink. We all had to laugh so hard because it was completely unexpected and looked so funny. Can't describe this comicalness of the situation. :-D

Stuff that nobody needs:

systemctl uses ANSI escape codes to underline text (\e[4m) and then it also uses special escape codes – that Wikipedia classifies as “not in the standard”, but I haven’t looked it up – to *change the color of the underline*. That color change is barely noticeable in the first place.

Some terminals don’t support this and now my systemctl output is *blinking* because of that.
