Good points. I’m going to try out Waterfox.

PIMP.

Enshittification begins?

Thank you for the info. I’ll try a live USB with Kubuntu 25.10 or 26.04dev and check it out. Now that you mention that, the blurriness was indeed related with scaling (though not fractional).

The main one is the Wacom stylus & screen, on a Thinkpad X1Extreme. I tried Wayland from a live Kubuntu 24.04, and in settings there was the message “Unsupported platform detected. Currently only X11 is supported”. At that point I didn’t check anything else. I also noticed that the desktop and windows weren’t so “crisp” as they were under X11, although I can’t exactly explain where the feeling came from; probably I would have chosen X11 even if the stylus had worked.

I suspect that I can actually login on a Wayland session even now; I’ll try it out as soon as I have time.

Thank you, I didn’t know this, it’s comforting and gives a bit of hope!

Good to hear! Keeping my fingers crossed.

True. Let’s hope and see.

Or stylus users. If the stylus functionality won’t be fixed in Wayland when this change happens, I’ll have stop my regular donation to KDE and start looking for another desktop environment to support.

It’s been one of the poorest “animations” I’ve ever seen; not in the One-Punch Man series, but in anime in general. Not only there’s lots of just panning and zooming, but the image that’s panned or zoomed has much lower quality than the manga. Lots of frozen facial expressions with only the mouth moving, it reminds me of Clutch Cargo or of the cut-out animations of Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam. Of course all anime do this to some degree, but in this case it’s so extreme that you become completely aware of it.

Blame or no blame, one reason or another, it’s J.C. Staff that made this, and it sucks. I wonder how an animation studio can do something like this; it affects the studio’s popularity and can only have negative consequences down the line.

For trackpad gestures, check out touchegg and touché; I’m using it on Kubuntu.

What I wonder: are the majority of UK citizens OK with this law?

Not that it matters probably, as UK isn’t a democracy in practice…

I hope these evil arsehole moves will span new mobile-phone companies who see the economic benefit of taking side with the users. A little like it happened with Framework and laptops.

My mobile is dying; when it’s dead it’ll be GrapheneOS – and fuck you Google.

Spy x Family in roughly one week, and One Punch Man in roughly two 😭 (joy).

Interesting new titles too. What’s the one so long that it covers the whole image (on my mobile browser)? 😂

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for asking. I think I’ve had it for a week, and luckily no issues so far. I use it sparsely though, I always have on-demand mode. But I imagine Ubuntu Studio has important differences from Ubuntu?

Happy to have helped! I’m myself testing 580 now, fingers crossed :)

I don’t know if it’s the same in Ubuntu Studio, but in Ubuntu and derivates you can launch sudo software-properties-gtk or sudo software-properties-qt from a terminal. In the window that appears, choose the tab ‘Additional Drivers’. There you can choose the Nvidia graphic drivers you prefer among older and newer versions. Good way to roll back.

Apologies if this was obvious 🙏

Great to hear! All’s well that ends well :)

Now I understand, thank you for the explanation!

They can be useful, used “in negative”. In a physics course at an institution near me, students are asked to check whether the answers to physics questions given by an LLM/GPT are correct or not, and why.

On the one hand, this puts the students with their back against the wall, so to speak, because clearly they can’t use the same or another LLM/GPT to answer, or they’d be going in circles.

But on the other hand, they actually feel empowered when they catch the errors in the LLM/GPT; they really get a kick out of that :)

As a bonus, the students see for themselves that LLMs/GPTs are often grossly or subtly wrong when answering technical questions.
