I don’t know much about spiders, but I think that the short-legged one might be Phidippus audax.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phidippus_audax

The presence of a large (typically triangular) white spot in the center of the abdomen with two smaller spots below it is often used to distinguish this species.

The chelicerae are iridescent green.

I’m pretty sure that the long-legged spider is facing away from the short-legged one.

I think it’s fine. Want to explain why you think that it’s an issue?

I feel like Ubuntu really deserves to get orange, as they use it all over their branding.

As for yellow…hmm. is Yellow Dog Linux still around?

Nope. Ended in 2012.

Nothing with an especially yellow logo.

I guess that’s why Ubuntu got yellow.

I mean, you can stick a USB hub on a port and have multiple devices connected to it…

Honestly, my experience is that Steam’s recommendation systems are not great. The average user rating usually more-or-less concurs with my opinion. If something is rated Overwhelmingly Positive, I’ll generally like it. The “More Like This” thing has on rare occasions been useful, though usually human recommendations for similar games from searching Reddit or similar has given much better results. But things like the recommendations queue are just terrible. They never turn up anything that I like.

Su said one purpose of her Taiwan visit was to ensure ⁠AMD’s supply chain could ramp up CPU and GPU production to meet growing ​AI demand.

“We’ve been able to increase our supply as we’ve gone through 2026, and ​we’re going to substantially increase our supply in 2027,” Su told reporters ​in Taipei.

Frankly, the limiting factor isn’t really CPUs or GPUs. It’s the memory chips which one would attach them to.

AMD is also working closely with memory chipmakers to secure sufficient supplies, Su said

I mean…I’m sure that that’s good for AMD, but ultimately, that doesn’t make the memory pie as a whole any larger, just slices it up differently. If they sign some kind of long-term contract that provides more guaranteed purchases to memory manufacturers, that might do so eventually, but not in 2026 or 2027.

I don’t presently, but back when I was working on a large codebase and needing to know when a painfully long compile finished, I used an XMPP client and server.

I wouldn’t push either button in 2026 or 2027 if you can wait.

I guess some kind of home automation setup could start coffee brewing when you wake up or just before you get home.

It does seem like a pretty marginal benefit.

That being said, I have a hard time understanding why so many people own other IoT things, say, smart speakers. Like, I just don’t see the problem that they’re solving.

Instead, Windows keeps getting web apps, and one developer explained why. After Win32, WinForms, WPF, Silverlight, UWP, and now WinUI, Microsoft first has to convince developers to trust it this time. It’s pushing WinUI, building it in public, and even using AI to write native apps in 30 minutes, while macOS keeps getting a steady flow of native apps.

https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/04/07/developer-explains-why-windows-11-keeps-getting-web-apps-instead-of-native-apps/

Unlike macOS, which always gets native apps, despite having a much smaller user base, developers’ attitude toward pushing web apps just for Windows isn’t about convenience. It’s about trust, or rather, the lack of it.

Over the years, Microsoft has introduced multiple “future” frameworks, only to move away from them later. From WPF and Silverlight to UWP and now WinUI 3, the company hasn’t changed this pattern. As Alexander puts it, many developers now assume that whatever Microsoft is pushing today might not last long enough to justify building on it.

Microsoft’s pivot to WebView2 embeds the Edge (Chromium) engine inside apps. It works well for consistency, but it also means many “desktop” apps are just web pages running in a container.

And the obvious downside is that these apps consume more RAM, feel less responsive, and don’t integrate as deeply with the OS. Running multiple Electron apps at the same time can easily eat through system resources, something native apps traditionally handled much better.

So instead of betting on a framework that might change direction again, many choose the web. It’s not perfect, and in many cases, it’s objectively worse for desktop performance. But it removes the bigger risk of depending on Microsoft’s next decision.

Hmm. Yeah, that’s an interesting point.

Linux doesn’t really have that degree of “dead end” things, but it does have a lot of breaking API changes to the widget toolkits, like GTK and Qt, that require maintenance work to keep software written for them building against the current version.

If you’re a developer for an important open source project, they might.

Attacking the xz project wasn’t done because the attacker cared about anything that the xz maintainer had. It was because he was trusted and the software he maintained had been given a fair bit of trust by certain maintainers and could be compromised and used as a vector into other systems that indirectly relied on that open-source project.

I had the same thought myself when I first read it. :-)

Long shot, but Steam games, including Proton games, will typically have the Steam overlay up. I don’t know how they implement the overlay, but if it’s via some kind of floating transparent window, maybe it could interact oddly with focus in Kwin. Maybe try toggling the Steam overlay off, see if that does it?
