«L’État druze» de Soueïda, en rupture avec le reste de la Syrie
Depuis la tentative de Damas d’imposer son autorité par la force en juillet 2025, et la mort de 2 000 personnes, Druzes et Bédouins sunnites, une «garde nationale» composite fait office de forces armées. Et le soutien israélien est de plus en plus présent. ⌘ Read more
Since Wayland compositors handle input devices on a lower level than X11 window managers, every compositor has to figure out on their own what a “mouse wheel click” is:
(I think “Wayland compositor” is a misnomer. They are full-blown display servers that also do compositing, plus Wayland window management, plus X11 window management.)
One can only hope that all this eventually gets moved into the wlroots library. (I’m not sure if that’s possible, nor if people would want that.)
Two weeks with AR glasses and Linux on Android
I recently learned something that blew my mind; you can run a full desktop Linux environment on your phone. That’s a graphical environment via X11 with real window management and compositing, Firefox comfortably playing YouTube (including working audio), and a status bar with system stats. It launches in less than a second and feels snappy. ↫ Hold the Robot In and of itself, this is a neat trick most of us are probably aware of. Running a … ⌘ Read more
PEP 770: Improving measurability of Python packages with Software Bill-of-Materials
Software Bill-of-Materials (SBOM) is a technology-and-ecosystem-agnostic method for describing software composition, provenance, heritage, and more. SBOMs are used as inputs for software composition analysis (SCA) tools, such as scanners for vulnerabilities and licenses, and have been gaining traction in global software regulations and frameworks. ⌘ Read more
The 10 Largest Moons of Our Solar System
The night sky holds countless celestial wonders, but few are as captivating as the moons of our solar system. While Earth boasts just one moon, other planets have entire families of moons, each unique in its size, composition, and history. These natural satellites range from small, rocky chunks to massive, planet-like bodies with complex surfaces […]

implicit music, or the idea that music naturally exudes from everything. composition is not the act of making music, but of starting with music and working backwards. #halfbakedideas

Film Composition: The Subtle Art of Cinematic Scores https://tedium.co/2018/09/06/film-composition-subtle-art/
Tourist Trap is apparently on Shudder now. Even though it’s not Giallo, I recommend Giallo fans give it a watch: much like Profundo Russo & other pre-Suspiria Argento, it combines messy storytelling with some beautiful, surreal, and terrifying shot composition.

NixOS progress report
Finally we can run all those legacy\ applications… Thanks to Michael Raskin for adding Wine
and a NPTL-enabled Glibc (which Wine seems to need). This is a
nice application of purely functional package composition, by
the way: Wine didn’t work with the standard Glibc in Nixpkgs, … ⌘ Read more
