Looks like a very motivated developer made a patch for #kwin and turned #KDE into a fully featured #VR desktop 👉 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8671

Mozilla wants your input. Here's mine:

Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

1: Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
2: Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.
3: There is no 3.

Mozilla should have NOTHING to do with AI. Nobody wants it. Stop forcing AI into every corner of every project because your VC-brained management have completely lost the plot.

Remember, we are causing the AI boom to falter because we keep using the term "slop":

This is not very nice of us and is costing Microslop, and its slopholders and inveslops, real money.

I really wish we could get a secure replacement for email already, one that’s incompatible and not just bolting on and becoming an optional feature by necessity.

And SMS.

And phone networks.

And credit card networks.

Rumoredly, YouTube is getting rid of custom ".ytt" subtitles from their website. Here's a quick shell script if you need to archive them in a few formats for all languages:

#!/bin/sh
for i in vtt ttml srv3 json3; do
yt-dlp --write-subs --all-subs --sub-format "$i" --skip-download --compat-options no-live-chat "$1"
done
