tbh they replaced the search bar on windows 10 with cortana already lol
frankly i'm surprised it took this long for something similarly disruptive to happen to windows 11's search experience (although i'm sure it still tried desperately to get you on bing as often as possible already)

i am grateful to cinnamon for introducing me to xscreensaver but its native implementation was pretty broken (at least in 2021) lol (cinnamon-screensaver ⇄ normal xscreensaver)
so you're only using xscreensaver by itself maybe?

they've prodded around a bit but it's pretty dicey as to whether or not it's even possible in the first place (latest blog post on that www.jwz.org/blog/2025/07...)

XScreenSaver, Wayland and locking

Welp, I got crickets in answer to my question, "How do I find the wl_surface backing an Xwayland X11 Window?" and that does not bode well for XScreenSaver ever being able to lock your screen on Waylan...

it's cool to know but ngl i never really felt the need to do that (and if i did, highlighting the whole text and just trimming it in kate worked fine for me)

it's just a ubiquitous linux terminal browser. there are definitely better choices but it seems like none of them actually support javascript lol (i was trying to use elinks which has options but i quickly discovered i don't know how to disable its light theme)

Zaptor Zap @zaptorz.app · 27d

cool notice i'm sure few have seen. much better than a certain tech giant lol

Another terminal picture. This time it says: JavaScript Required
This is a heavily interactive web application, and JavaScript is required. Simple HTML interfaces are possible, but that is not what this is.

A terminal titled lynx 'https://google…'
It contains a notice: Your browser isn't supported anymore. To continue your search, upgrade to a recent version.

yipee google's AI surveillance is either not extensive enough to recognize that my 11½ year old youtube account is owned by an adult (and that its associated email activity is well beyond indicative of a grown up lifestyle) or incompetent enough to see everything and still come to this conclusion

Google couldn’t confirm you're an adult, so some account settings have changed. Are you an adult? Verify your age

wowee was i unaware of how this would practically disappear me from the algorithm completely. i mean, the video is just a silly thing i spent maybe 1hr on, but this almost makes me wonder if the real reason people's views were being destroyed a few weeks ago was because of AI labeling them a child

kinda reminds me of the effort of the Wiki for TETR.IO lol
i mean don't get me wrong, it's a valiant effort, but besides a few downtime bumps, we definitely never had to deal with banner ads on https://tetris.wiki/TETR.IO/Badges and so on

arent you only using gnu at that point

also--very interesting coincidental timing here (as you know every 6 year old endeavors to remove this within deep system settings months ago)

Install Android System SafetyCore
