KDE Plasma 6.5 released
KDE is on a roll lately, and keeps on rolling with today’s release of KDE Plasma 6.5. As the project itself notes, this release focuses on relatively small improvements, refinements, and other niceties, without making any massive changes. With Linux desktops taking accessibility more seriously lately than ever before, I want to focus on the accessibility improvements first. The Orca screen reader now announces caps lock state changes, and screen readers will now describe the Shortcut … ⌘ Read more

Intel, AMD to bring memory tagging to x86, at some point
Now that ARM’s memory tagging, used extensively by Android ROMs such as GrapheneOS and now also by Apple, is becoming the new norm to aid in improving memory safety, the x86 world can’t sit idly by. As such, Intel and AMD have announced a ChkTag, x86’s version of memory tagging. ChkTag is a set of new and enhanced x86 instructions to detect memory safety violations, such as buffer overflows and misuses of freed memory (u … ⌘ Read more

Cartridge chaos: the official Nintendo region converter and more!
This post is a combination of looks at several oddities among my pile of NES and Famicom cartridges. Why, for example, do I have a copy of Gyromite when I don’t have a R.O.B.?

Streaming live video as a macOS screensaver using AVFoundation and yt-dlp
I built this to play live HLS streams as a screensaver on macOS. It supports both direct .m3u8 URLs and YouTube
links (via yt-dlp extraction with caching).
The interesting bits:
- Cross-screen synchronization: All displays show the same frame of the video by syncing to a shared timestamp,
making it feel like one continuous stream across monitors
- Handles the unreliable macOS screensaver lifecycle (stopAnimation doesn’t always get called when … ⌘ Read more
Rethinking polygamy—research upends conventional thinking about the advantages of monogamous marriage
In July 2025, Uganda’s courts swiftly dismissed a petition challenging the legality of polygamy, citing the protection of religious and cultural freedom.

Seismic anisotropy offers insight into viscous BLOBs at base of Earth’s mantle
In some parts of Earth’s interior, seismic waves travel at different speeds depending on the direction in which they are moving through the layers of rock in Earth’s interior. This property is known as seismic anisotropy, and it can offer important information about how the silicate rock of the mantle—particularly at the mantle’s lowermost depths—deforms. In contrast, areas through which seismic waves travel at the … ⌘ Read more
