Since the recent update of Android 16, Pixels have a new theme

• symbols are less geometric and hard
• some elements are rounded squares, others are round
• the theme is generally very dark
• the top panel is not visible by default
• the battery looks very different, kinda like on iOS
• the drawers have a blurry background instead of solid colors
• the "recent apps" overview displays the app name in the top left corner of the preview window, instead of a round icon on top
• icons and buttons in apps like GCam are also changed

Generally the theme is way more complex and distracting and has quite some inconsistencies.

While I would like blur, the minimalist side of me is happy not to have it.

The current material theme with lots of high-contrast elements is pretty Google-specific I feel and can be seen as ugly. The new one is way more abstract and in a way pleasing.

Yes the theme is on latest GrapheneOS too. The font may be proprietary though, AOSP uses a different one

Update: animations and blur can be disabled in the accessibility settings now

The Free Software Foundation Europe did an update post on the current status of the legal affair.

Good read, recommend!

Ok this is a physical one.

Temperature is just the total speed of molecule vibrations in an object.

Vibrations are movement. Movement needs energy. All things thrive to be in an energy neutral state, energy always disperses, disbalances are always balanced out.

This means that the natural state of objects is 0°K, the lowest temperature possible, no movement.

That is why you should fill up your fridge and freezer! The only energy you need is for removing heat that comes into the thing and would in turn transfer to cooler objects and warm them up.

But keeping things cool itself doesnt need any energy 🤯

And if you heat it up then less air comes in, and the incoming air will be cooled down faster (energy balanced out between low density air and high density things). So the overall temperature doesnt spike as much and less needs to be transported off.

automatically selecting an object should be technically not very hard.

It selects objects by sharpness, color, contrast etc.

I have never seen a working tool in GIMP that can do that well. I have autoselected stuff by color always, and I know the "magic wand" tool (but have not used it much).

Is there a plugin, or can I tweak an existing tool so that it works like that?

I also need a tool to select a border and everything within that. Also didnt find a way to do that yet

I have this TV which has terribly off colors.

They are very dark, oversaturated and the contrast is too high.

KDE Plasma supports applying custom color profiles, but what I could find is more than a bit intransparent.

• We have this ancient website describing the specs
• there is this C++ library, lets say I am not up to using that barebones
• Here is a list of software, looks like a lot of proprietary software
• this useless "free software" only for Windows, likely "as in free beer" and outdated
• This dude's profiles, created with DisplayCAL software

Anyone made some on Linux?

Edit: nice that DisplayCal is free software and available on Linux!

Ich habe ein kleines Kopfkissen aus Getreidespelzen (von nem Markt, super cool, kann ich empfehlen)

Weniger als 30x50cm aber wenn man es ausbreitet schon eher also wäre so ein Bezug gut

Mir fällt schwer das zu finden da das ne eher ungewöhnliche Größe ist.

Haben welche von Amazon, da selbst Ikea keine gute Auswahl hat. Aber lieber wäre mir zertifizierte Biobaumwolle, evtl auch Leinen oder sowas.

Hab das hier genommen, weil die Alternative komische Farben hatte. Ist aus Bambus, bestimmt interessant, werde berichten!

Since Debian 13 (Trixie), when using the default FDE which uses grub to decrypt the luks partition, I have a single attempt

When the password is mistyped there is a long pause (over 10 seconds) and then the error appears.

I already tried increasing the max tries, which seems to be set to 1 when a keyfile is used.

The config/script seems to be in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot.

I copied that to /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot and replaced the value CRYPTTAB_OPTION_tries=1 with 10 using find/replace (ansible stuff).

I think this has no effect though and doing so (might be a different issue) breaks boot entirely 💀

More info:

• by default when legacy boot (BIOS) is available, Debian will install grub to the MBR. This is where it happens
• when forcing or prioritizing legacy boot and using GPT, debian somehow boots from a 300MB efi partition, the same happens though, one attempt
