Xmonad seeking help for Wayland port (2023)

2023-10-06 Wayland We on the XMonad devteam (Tomáš, Tony, Yecine, and myself) have been collecting contributions for the past two years with an eye toward paying someone to work on a port of XMonad to Wayland, since none of us is up to the task. We think we now have enough contributions coming in monthly to pay for someone to work with us on it. Problem is, we have no idea who can do this. So this is a call for help, looking for someone who can write it. There is an existing project but it’s

Move Aside, Chatbots: AI Humanoids Are Here

This week, WIRED learned that OpenAI is ramping up its efforts in robotics—specifically, by hiring researchers who work on AI systems for humanoid robots. Humanoids, robots built to resemble us and perform daily tasks, were famous for their clumsiness just a few years ago. Senior writer Will Knight tells us about how that's rapidly changing on today's episode cohosted by Michael Calore and senior correspondent Kylie Robison. Mentioned in this episode: OpenAI Ramps Up Robotics Work in Race Towa

I love book-style foldables, and they’ve ruined slab phones for me

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority Ever since I used the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in 2021, I have seen the benefits of having a book-style foldable — better productivity, flexible usability, and more. The form factor has only become more and more polished over the years, thanks to better app optimization and thinner designs. In this time, I have used book-style foldables from Samsung, Google, HONOR, OnePlus, vivo, HUAWEI, Tecno, and more. While Samsung delivered its most improved folding phone with the

CNET Editors Tested Camping Gear All Summer: Here Are Our Favorite Gadgets

Why I like it: The Grayl GeoPress is among my best outdoor gear purchases. I feel confident drinking water from lakes, rivers and even the sketchiest of sources with this filtered water bottle -- and that's saying something, because I nearly bit the dust by acquiring three strains of E. Coli from contaminated water at one point (before I knew about Grayl). It efficiently removes waterborne pathogens, including 99.9999% of bacteria, viruses and protozoa, and filters particulates like silt, micro

The "Most Hated" CSS Feature: Cos() and Sin()

No feature is truly “the worst” in CSS, right? After all, it’s all based on opinion and personal experience, but if we had to reach a consensus, checking the State of CSS 2025 results would be a good starting point. I did exactly that, jumped into the awards section, and there I found it: the “Most Hated Feature,” a title no CSS should have bear… This shocks me, if I’m being honest. Are really trigonometric functions really that hated? I know “hated” is not the same as saying something is “wors

Spotify's free tier just got a major upgrade - here's what's new

Anadolu/Contributor/Anadolu via Getty Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways Spotify is upgrading its free tier with several new features. The features give you more control over how you listen to songs. Users will start to see the new options today. Less than a week after debuting long-awaited lossless audio and a few weeks after adding direct message capability, Spotify is rolling out some more good news. This time, it's for free users.

OpenAI board chair Bret Taylor says we’re in an AI bubble (but that’s OK)

In Brief Bret Taylor, board chair at OpenAI and CEO of AI agent startup Sierra, was asked in a recent interview with The Verge whether he agreed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s declaration that “someone is going to lose a phenomenal amount of money in AI.” Taylor echoed Altman’s sentiments, suggesting that we are indeed in an AI bubble — but like Altman, he didn’t sound too worried about it. “I think it is both true that AI will transform the economy, and I think it will, like the internet, crea

Free Spotify users can finally listen to any track immediately

There must be something in the water at Spotify HQ. Less than a week after delivering long-promised lossless audio, the company has another treat. Free listeners can finally listen to any track they want. After enhancing Premium, perhaps Spotify figured it could add a free perk without shedding subscribers. Spotify accounts on the free plan can now choose any track and immediately listen to it. Previously, that was paywalled for Premium subscribers. Non-paying ones had to shuffle through an alb

Four-year wedding crasher mystery solved

A baffled bride has solved the mystery of the awkward-looking stranger who crashed her wedding four years ago. Michelle Wylie and her husband, John, registered the presence of their unidentifiable guest only as they looked through photographs of their wedding in the days after the happy occasion. Who was the tall man in a dark suit, distinguished by the look of quiet mortification on his face? But their family and friends could offer no explanation, nor could hotel staff at the Carlton hotel i

How the restoration of ancient Babylon is drawing tourists back to Iraq

Mentioned in the sacred texts of all three Abrahamic faiths, the ancient Mesopotamian city of Babylon, in modern-day Iraq, is today undergoing a revival. Two World Monuments Fund (WMF) projects are nearing completion and much-needed cultural tourism is returning. One project mitigates groundwater damage to the north retaining wall of the Ishtar Gate. The second is a restoration of the Temple of Ninmakh, dedicated to the Sumerian mother goddess. The team hopes there will be an official reopening

Performance-focused forks of styled-components

Your React app might be 40% slower on first render than it needs to be. Not because you wrote bad code. Not because React is slow. But because styled-components never implemented React 18's useInsertionEffect hook: a feature specifically designed to solve CSS-in-JS performance problems. While React 18 shipped in March 2022 with this optimization path, styled-components remained on React 17 patterns, injecting styles during render instead of between render and layout. This creates a performanc

Mosyle uncovers new cross-platform malware undetected by antivirus tools

After warning 9to5Mac last month about undetectable Mac malware hidden in a fake PDF converter site, Mosyle, a leader in Apple device management and security, has now uncovered a new infostealer. Dubbed ModStealer, the malware has remained invisible to all major antivirus engines since first appearing on VirusTotal nearly a month ago. In details shared exclusively with 9to5Mac, Mosyle says ModStealer doesn’t just target macOS systems, but is cross-platform and purpose-built for one thing: steal

iOS 26 will give iPhone 16 owners a new camera capability

Yesterday during its iPhone 17 introduction, Apple showed off a brand new ‘Bright’ Photographic Style for users. But it turns out, iOS 26 brings the same new feature to certain iPhone 16 models too. New ‘Bright’ Photographic Style is coming to iPhone 16 One of the tentpole features of the iPhone 16 last year was next-generation Photographic Styles. Photographic Styles might seem like just a marketing term for filters. But Apple’s latest version that launched on iPhone 16 is technically quite

Spotify’s music recommendations stink. Here’s how I made them better

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority I am a snob when it comes to music choices. I have spent countless hours in my teenage years arguing with strangers on the internet that Megadeth is overrated, or defending Nickelback from being smeared as the worst rock band ever. Now, while I’ve realized I have been wrong in imposing my music choices on others, I still maintain a high level of scrutiny when deciding which music tracks will remain in my Spotify playlists. Yes, I rely on Spotify as one of my go

Amazon Music launches AI-powered weekly playlists based on 'preferences and mood'

Amazon Music has just launched new AI-powered weekly playlists based on the "preferences and mood" of listeners. This just means it scrapes what you've already been listening to and extrapolates further. It doesn't apply modern technology to gauge the actual mood of users. The company says the playlists include "a curated mix of familiar favorites from their most listened-to artists and latest favorites to new discoveries." I'm not exactly sure how this is different from what music streaming pl

Amazon Music’s new AI feature generates personalized playlists every Monday

Now, Amazon Music is launching a new feature called “Weekly Vibe,” designed to further personalize the listening experience. The feature is rolling out today to U.S. customers across all subscription tiers within the app on both iOS and Android. Recognizing a common challenge faced by avid

Tiny Vinyl is a new pocketable record format for the Spotify age

In 2019, Record Store Day partnered with manufacturer Crosley to revive a 3-inch collectible vinyl format first launched in Japan in 2004. Five years later, a new 4-inch-sized format called Tiny Vinyl wants to take the miniature vinyl collectible crown, and launch partner Target is throwing its considerable weight behind it as an exclusive launch partner, with 44 titles expected in the coming weeks. It’s 2025, and the global vinyl record market has reached $2 billion in annual sales and is stil

I tested the Abxylute One Pro, and it nails game streaming (with a catch)

Abxylute One Pro If you want to stream games without tinkering with settings or dealing with Android jank, the Abxylute One Pro is a great pick. But if you want a little more, you can get better performance for the price. If you had asked me six years ago, I would have told you that game streaming was the future of gaming. Now that Stadia is dead and Xbox Cloud Gaming hasn’t made any significant improvements in years, the world seems to have shifted focus to gaming handhelds. But there’s a uni
