The X.Org Foundation has announced that this year's X.Org Developers Conference will be taking place in Toronto, Canada and hosted by Arm.

XDC2026 is scheduled to run from 28 to 30 September in Toronto at the Daniels Spectrum cultural hub in Toronto. Arm has stepped up to organize this year's conference.

 

Fish, a popular user-friendly command-line shell, has announced version 4.4, a new release that builds on the 4.0 series.

One notable change is the deprecation of the default fossil prompt, which is now disabled. Interactive behavior has also been refined in several areas.

The bind builtin now lists mappings from all modes when --mode is not specified, making keybinding inspection more predictable. Fish no longer displays line-wise autosuggestions that do not begin with a command, reducing visual noise during input.

 

In time for next month's GNOME 50 release are some improvements merged today for the Mutter compositor code adding HiDPI and monitor mode emulation support to the screen-casting API and DevKit.

GNOME 50 is coming in quite heavy on the new features. The latest code to land in Mutter is a merge request that had been in the works by Jonas Ådahl the past three months for HiDPI and monitor mode emulaiton to benefit GNOME's virtual monitor and remote desktop capabilities.

 

Is there a massive planet, 10 times the mass of Earth, hiding at the edge of our solar system? This is Planet Nine, the solar system’s greatest cold case, predicted by our models but never seen…. until now. Is the hunt finally nearing its end? In this video, we break down the evidence that might have finally located the "missing" planet.

Edited with the link to their website, according to the FAQ

Will there be a 5.25" or 2.5" version?

PicoIDE will launch with a 3.5" enclosure only, but depending how things go, other form factors may be made available.

So it sounds like it could be coming, plus it's open source so you or someone else could modify the enclosure print to be bigger

 

Microsoft in Windows 11 22H2 introduced a new ACPI Device Specific Method (DSM) "Turn On Display" notification that the Linux 7.0 kernel will be adding support for in dealing with some otherwise problematic laptop behavior.

Queued up into the Linux power management subsystem's "linux-next" Git branch ahead of the upcoming Linux 6.20~7.0 kernel cycle is support in the s2idle driver for invoking the Microsoft Turn On Display DSM. Microsoft's documentation describes the Turn On Display / Function 9 notification as being used to signal during resume time from modern standby when the intent is to turn on the system's display.

 

If you have been warming up to the idea of owning physical media or preserving your existing collection before it fades away, then PicoIDE should interest you.

The work of Polpotronics, this is an open source IDE/ATAPI emulator meant to replace aging tech like CD-ROM drives and hard disks. If you don't know what those are, you probably weren't around back then. ☠️

The job of the PicoIDE is quite simple; it can take in disk images (e.g., ISO, .bin/.cue, .vhd) from microSD cards and present them to your vintage computer as real IDE hard drives or ATAPI CD-ROM drives.

I find some utility in them, they're VERY far from the end all be all tool that AI bros hype.

I used it heavily to generate more cover letters for a recent job hunt than Ive ever done in my life and that's in addition to generating pretty much all of my written communication. So it was of great help there to help me mass apply to shit (without using one of those dumb AI applying services (tried like 2 of em, utter dog shit lmao))

Just yesterday I used my local LLM to process a pic I snapped of a handwritten birthday invite one of my kids got and it was inserted into my calendar accurately. Is GenAI 100%, no, but it's more accurate than the previous solution for something like that I think.

Would you use a local open source LLM? (Assuming you have, or have the ability to acquire, a GPU or 2)

I used to beat my kids to the trucks when they appeared, not since those greedy bastards took away my Choco Taco tho 😔

Except, none of it is automated so it can't be a "botnet" lmfao

If you'd actually spent time researching something before you take a position on someone instead of just going along with what someone else said or vibes or whatever you'd be able to see real quick from my posting times my general life schedule lmao

Lmao, exaggerate much my serial downvoting troll friend :P

There's only like 30 and I don't actively post from most of them anymore
