What I really like about #GNOME46 is that it turned out to be a really good release for old and low-end devices. One of my test devices is Thinkpad T400. That hardware is over 15 years old and is has actually got faster over the last few years - especially this release.
One of my favorite improvements here, headed by Christian Hergert, was the boost to VTE. Terminals using #gtk4 are now much faster and responsive. I mean, damn, even switching tabs doesn't trigger a full redraw!

A large contingent of webdevs seem to think that fast means “best-case fast”: expensive hardware, reliable fiber networks.
Worst-case fast is a much more meaningful, impressive, and inclusive claim to make! Fast on low-end hardware. Fast on slow networks. Fast on the World Wide Web—not just from a WeWork in Silicon Valley.

If I would be building an #arcade station for me, my kids and my homies at the #makerspace which game would be the first and default one to play?

Another banger by @pluralistic.
“an AI-supported radiologist should spend exactly the same amount of time considering your X-ray, and then see if the AI agrees with their judgment, and, if not, they should take a closer look. AI should make radiology more expensive, in order to make it more accurate.”
We knew this back in 2011-12 when I worked at IBM. AI is a support tool, not a replacement for human beings.

I don't know if AI is going to replace programmers or not but there will be a lot of jobs just to delete AI generated code.

The 14mm Fibonacci48 prototypes have arrived, and they are tiny. 🧐

A good read why to use JSDoc.

@holarse Welches Spiel ist da am vordersten Laptop? Schaut 😎 aus
On a hike, I found a stone with a hashtag on it: #4400OH
Whats that?
@kaplag I have a #linux box for gaming and multimedia streaming and stuff. Every time I want to go to bed in the night, i need to fiddle around with the mouse to find and click (1) on the dock, then, the clicking the "Power Off/Log Out" entry in the dock menu to unfold it by clicking (2), followed by a click (3) on the actual "Power off..." menu entry, which spawns a pop-up to tell me that the system will power off in 30 seconds. If I want that faster, I can click (4) on the actual actual "Power off" button, which I usually do due to the fact that I want to cut the power to the whole multimedia system over night after the PC has shut down.
Even my partner complained about that lots of clicks, so there are some reasonable follow-ups to work around that:
1. complain on masto about that ;)
2. google for a stackoverflow entry, where others complain about that
3. install a gnome extension to get faster shutdown
4. dunno
Thanks for reading my little rant. I love #linux #ubuntu #debian and all you open source gals and guys.
@dbread Three (normally). So, is there any problem with that?
how many button clicks are required to shut down a computer?
