Let me try a shot in the dark: is there a way to bring #Gnome 50 to #Debian 13 Trixie?

Reason is, I'm reading Gnome 50 is the first one that got color management on #Wayland.

I won't go into all the reasons why this particular combination, it's just one of the possible ones I'm working through on a new laptop.

Thanks!

Mastodon (npub163h…mv0n) do you have any policy or a public statement regarding the use of Claude assisted code in your repo?[1]

RE: https://masto.ai/@phoronix/116476120066302561

OK, here's *the one* reason that'll finally make me find time and switch away from Ubuntu. I've been considering it for a while now, but was leaning towards taking the easy way out *again*: just upgrade my LTS and forget about it for 2 years. But "AI" is a bridge too far.

I don't car how non-envasive and opt-out it might be. One of the reason I use any Linux is to not be in adversarial relationship with my system.

Some 20 years ago I wrote a series of blog post about laying out Web pages with #CSS. It was full of hacks, playing on side effects of properties and browser bugs. I haven't seriously worked with CSS for over 10 years, and now suddenly I need to make a simple page again.

So imagine my wonder at discovering `width: fit-content`! I mean, it's so… obvious. And we just didn't have it back then.

(Also, my warmest gratitude to everyone who made MDN possible. You're heroes.)

hm.... as an engineer, I'm not afraid to admit that 3-4 hours a day is about as much as I ever could do any useful work (sustainably over time, not including occasional spurts). And I think it's entirely normal for the kind of job that doesn't require keeping watch or anything like that.

Then instantly subscribed to the blog's feed!

As an aside, I wish everything was as "dead" as #RSS. It has been quietly working for all these years and nobody wants to enshittify it.

Lichen. Did you know lichen aren't actually plants? They are colonies of algae and bacteria living symbiotically in a fungus.

Hey #running people! I want to share with you my yesterday's find: https://www.plotaroute.com/. The best route finding/plotting service I've seen. Very useful when you want to stick to your running schedule while out in the wilds on a vacation or a business trip.

It even has a working navigation mode! In a browser!
