Mary Chapin Carpenter – Personal History (2025)


Se avessi avuto una sorella minore, avrei voluto fosse Mary Chapin Carpenter! Perché la sessantasettenne singer songwriter di Princeton (NJ) è tutto ciò di desiderabile, in termini di sensibilità, eleganza e qualità artistiche, possano trovarsi in un’unica persona e poi perché da quasi quarant’anni sono legato in maniera quasi indissolubile al suo percorso umano e artistico...

Is the Gnome Background Apps UI a complete Mess or do I miss something?


Since Gnome 44 there is a new UI to show apps (i.e. messengers, sync clients, ...) that run in the background. It is supposed to take the place of the tray icons. In my experience it's basically not working, though.

The only app I use that uses the UI is the nextcloud client. But that thing's autostart seems to be very unreliable and most of the time I have to start it manually after booting. Could be an issue with the app and not with Gnome, but I don't know.

I also use Telegram and Element, but both still seem to use the old tray icons that you now need to install an extension for to work. Meaning that with vanilla Gnome when you close the Telegram window, the app is stopped and can't receive massages in the background.

Is the new UI broken or are app developers just not implementing it into their apps or what's wrong with the current situaltion?

in reply to Vittelius

I have telegram installed as flatpak and it still does not show up. I works with the "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" extension, though
in reply to marius

I could be completely wrong, but the fact, that you stated, that Telegram doesn't receive messages without the tray icon leads me to believe that they are doing background services wrong. Because the status icon in the tray is supposed to be exactly that. The service itself shouldn't be tied to that.


Ariel Vromen, Kevin Costner – „Das Jerico Projekt“ (2016)

Hier begegnen sich Science-Fiction, Spionagethriller und Psychodrama auf eine Weise, die fasziniert, weil sie unkonventionell ist. Der Film ist aus 2016 – moralische Fragen und technologischer Nervenkitzel haben in die Zeit gepasst. Was macht einen Menschen aus? Ich gebe zu: zwischendurch habe ich zwar das eine oder andere Mal den Faden verloren – hatte ein starkes Kopfschmerzgefühl – am Ende war ich ziemlich zufrieden. (@3sat)

What can I do with this laptop keyboard?


It is from an old Dell Inspiron laptop. Is there a way to use this as a wired keyboard (could not find any easy/cheap way on the internet)? Or maybe use it as something else?

She married a U.S. citizen for love. After she alleged abuse, he threatened deportation.


Excerpts:

The Facebook message that popped into her account started as a flirtation: "Hey, how are you?"

She had newly arrived from Bangladesh to study for her master's in information technology on a student visa in 2022 and wasn't interested in a relationship.

She liked the message. Then he texted again a few days later, "Hey, I have tickets to a Broadway show."

She had never been to a Broadway show before, so she went — and their whirlwind first date quickly turned to love for her and then marriage. […]

Her new husband filed for a green card for his wife. A temporary one was granted, and she moved to his family's house in Brooklyn.

The future seemed bright. […]

Now, just a little more than a year later, the 31-year-old woman, who asked CBS News not to use her name due to safety fears, has separated from her husband after alleging abuse — and is now worried about being deported.

[…]

Crystal Justice, chief external affairs officer at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, told CBS News in a statement that they have seen abusive partners "threatening to deport a partner or their family or withholding legal documents to limit a person's ability to travel."

China Plays Rare Earths Card in EV Tariff Negotiations With EU




in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

Oh good, it will be in the public domain.

OpenAI, which is also fighting a string of copyright lawsuits, donated $50 million this year to a group of research institutions including Oxford University’s 400-year-old Bodleian Library, which is digitizing rare texts and using AI to help transcribe them.

When the company first reached out to the Boston Public Library, one of the biggest in the U.S., the library made clear that any information it digitized would be for everyone, said Jessica Chapel, its chief of digital and online services.

“OpenAI had this interest in massive amounts of training data. We have an interest in massive amounts of digital objects. So this is kind of just a case that things are aligning,” Chapel said.

What makes the US the most powerful country in the world? It's our cultural exports, our educational institutions, and our technology. We spent decades handing all our technology over to China, and undermining education. Now Trump has poisoned the American brand for at least a generation.

China is way ahead on building a science and technology culture, and promoting education. The dividends from those investments are already paying off, and they are going to start compounding.

A lot of Americans still think of China as the place to make cheap goods, but their manufacturing sector has benefited from decades of stolen expertise. It turns out there are benefits from having engineers and factory workers in the same location. Faster feedback means faster development. Now the US is falling behind.

in reply to Tinidril

Completely agree. Also it's not really "stolen expertise" as wetern companies and capitalist countries given it away willingly in exchange for cheap manufacturing. They just never expected China to take advantage of it to compete on a global market.

Modifying an HDMI dummy plug’s EDID using a Raspberry Pi


I recently found myself needing to change the monitor that a cheap HDMI “dummy plug” pretended to be. It was a random one I had bought on Amazon several years ago that acted as a 4K monitor, and I needed it to be something simpler that didn’t support a 4K resolution. The story behind why is a long one that I’m still figuring out and might eventually become a separate blog post in the future.

Atom-thin tech replaces silicon in the world’s first 2D computer


In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum disulfide and tungsten diselenide, they fabricated over 2,000 transistors capable of executing logic operations on a computer free of traditional silicon. While still in early stages, this breakthrough hints at an exciting future of slimmer, faster, and dramatically more energy-efficient electronics powered by materials just one atom thick.
