Maybe not as important, but I still like having a fancy futuristic animation when a device is locked and idle.

I hope Wayland gets screensaver support at some point.

Maybe not exactly normal, but certainly more common than people having to solve trolley problems.

Mr Palomar by Italo Calvino.

Also qualifies for hard mode (the character is named after an observatory).

I see, thanks. Will check. I just thought perhaps you figured out something other than those from your experience.

Well, that's exactly what I did. My point was rather that there's no single consistent way to do this across different DEs with different Wayland implementations - and that's supposedly considered a feature from Wayland design's perspective.

Any guidance on choosing appropriate conservative settings for i7-13700K? I may be hit with the same as you in the future (sometimes I have to do some heavy multithreaded combinatorial computations which run several days with 100°C temperature, using all cores). The motherboard has options for customising pretty much everything there is, but I didn't touch anything overclocking-related, so I have Asus defaults.

Here's a KDE-specific script with kdotool (Wayland always needs custom solutions for simple things):

#!/bin/bash
WIN="$(kdotool search --class org.kde.konsole | head -1)"
if [[ "$WIN" != "" ]]; then 
    kdotool windowactivate "$WIN"
else 
    konsole
fi

If you don't find such a setting, you can try writing a script that checks if it's running already (e.g. with pgrep), activates the window if found (no idea how to do that in Wayland properly) and launches a new instance otherwise. Then use a custom .desktop launcher for Konsole.

I'm still waiting for the day when actual ads across the internet drown in AI-generated advertisements pointing to no real product or service. Perhaps that'll make attention industry collapse?

If you're looking for a side project idea, here's one.

Looks like instance normalization issues. See https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.04958

You're welcome!

As far as I understand, all of them can be made to work locally (especially if your local model is served via an OpenAI-compatible API, e.g. see llama.cpp's server binary) with varying degrees of effort required.
