Tech dirt's stepping up and arguing for actual journalism:

Let’s be clear: uncritically reporting the White House’s “nothing to see here” stance isn’t journalism — it’s stenography.

The media’s job isn’t to parrot White House talking points — it’s to uncover the truth.

Difference is timescale. Coal "sequestered carbon" over millions of years, and released over a few decades.

Biomass gathers and realeases on the same timescale

From the article:

In a statement, the police in Finland said the authorities had boarded the Eagle S tanker in Finnish waters.

So no international waters in this case. In fact there are no international waters in the Baltic Sea ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_waters )

It's hard to write and hard to read. The forced joining of every single letter in a word quicky makes it unintelligible unless your handwriting is perfect or you write very slowly

Breaktimer is free, open source and cross-platform.

Default is a reminder every 30minutues for a break, with a Snooze and Skip button. Snooze is very handy if you just wanna complete something you were in the middle of doing

Can't recommend TreeStyleTabs enough!

Not only does it trade off precious vertical space for plentiful horizontal space, but also the tabs get organized hierarchical, so when searching and opening multiple tabs , the tabs get grouped naturally

Flashback to ~2008-2009 when all laptops went from 16:10 to 16:9 and we couldn't understand why. 16:9 was for TVs and watching movies. 16:10 was for computers to do work.

While it's true finding 16:9 desktop backgrounds is easier, and watching movies and TVs without black bars is nice, 16:10 is much nice when actually using a computer to do work. Taskbars, toolbars, tabbars, headersbars etc take up a lot of precious vertical space, leaving less space for application content.

I'm so torn on this.. on the one hand always online DRM "leased" games from what's effectively a monopoly is bad.

On the other hand.. Proton good. Like really really good. Valve has done so much for Linux gaming through their Steam Machine and now Steam Deck initiatives

Simply put, X11 is the bottom of the graphics stack, i.e. everything that makes Linux have more than just a command line has historically been built on top of X11

X11 is OLD. Like really old. And has a bunch of problem because of it (no variable refresh rate, no good multi monitor support, no proper fractional scaling , tearing, no security etc) It's also very mature. Somehow developers have managed to build a decent user experience out of the old X11

The Wayland protocol was designed to overcome the shortcomings of X11 and replace it. Wayland is now at the cusp of being a fully functional complete replacement for X11. It already is for many (most?) use cases.

Many Applications that are not made for Wayland will still run in Wayland, but they run in a fake X11 server inside called Xwayland. But native Wayland is better (performance, security, features)

Wayland very good on AMD and Intel these days. Nvidia was unsupported, but last year nVidia made a business decision to support EGL(?) so with fresh drives work has begun in Gnome and KDE to support Nvidia in Wayland. I'm not sure how mature Nvidia on Wayland is yet
