i love the alt text culture on fedi, because once in a while i'll browse other platforms and i see an image that i can't quite parse, in which case normally i would just look for alt text to get what i'm looking at, and instead i get the disappointment of no alt text

Significant props to @purism for the repairability on the #Librem5. Disassembly instructions were easy to find on the community wiki. There were relatively few fiddly bits, with nearly all pieces held in by a combination of screws (of a consistent size) and friction clips. Only the screen itself is glued into place, but it's to a metal frame that conducts heat from a hairdryer beautifully. The damaged screen came off with almost no fuss.

This is now the second major part on the phone that I've upgraded/repaired (the first being the power-hungry 1st gen wifi board).

Set any application as Plasma background

Missing your favorite xscreensaver hack? Have an old Windows screensaver that works under Wine? Want to have htop as your wallpaper? Or maybe you'd like to write your own screensaver in Godot? This addon lets you use any application as a Plasma wallpaper or screensaver.

In the end I found a way to make it 100% QML, so you can now just download it from Discover or KNewStuff and enjoy on your desktop 🙂

And here it is! Welcome back as my screensaver, Asciiquarium 😊

I could have reimplemented it in Qt, as it was done back in the KDE 3/4 days... or I could just run the original thing in a Konsole window and call it a day 😁

How it works? It's a Plasma wallpaper plugin which is an extremely simple QtWayland compositor that only handles a single fullscreen window and draws it - so any Wayland window can be drawn as a background. This window can of course also belong to Xwayland 😄

This means we can go beyond xscreensaver. How about... Wine? 😁

I had a random thought - "what would it take to support arbitrary old screensavers in Plasma 6 again?" 🤔 So here's xscreensaver safely rendered as a background for Plasma screen locker, working on both Wayland and X11 sessions. Turned out so much simpler than I expected 😁 Just some 70 lines of pure QML and a tiny glue to launch the process.

I would say I'm a Wayland developer. I've had some hand in libwayland and the foundational protocols in the past years, and I still have a hand in some protocols today.

That is why, when someone publicly vents that Wayland makes the touchpad feel wrong, or Wayland breaks the picture on the TV, or Wayland uses wrong fonts, it feels like they are blaming me personally.

I understand how it is easy to come to the conclusion that Wayland is to blame. Despite reasoning otherwise, it still hurts.
