reason for them not appearing is that xmpp is a largely relaxed platform, that is, all implementations are not equally strict. some may implement certain extensions, others may implement other. encryption (omemo) is a common one that most implement, but then client (the user apps like gajim) may or may not implement them correctly, or they may have a fallback (first communication between 2 clients maybe is not encrypted), and other different problems with encryption being flaky (firstly, it is not perfect forward secrecy, it is a bit prone to failure (messages unable to decrypt), etc.), hence it is not recommended much.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Frog gut bacterium eliminates cancer tumors in mice with a single doseEnglish
4·3 days agoas someone who is doing some kind of science - titles are a lot more fancier and designd for absurdity. Often, the decision to perform something is a lot more logical than dciding random animals to test from. for example, some of the people from their group may already have been studying that specific frog line for some reason (maybe for it’s gut only), for example, they may have observed that these frogs live a long life or something, then they decided to find why is that, and may hav ecome to conclusion that it is this gut bacterium. or maybe they may hav eknown of this bacterium, and found out where they could source more of this.
but sometimes, it is totally random luck, lik you accidentally messed up experiement, and spilled some unrelated gut juice from a frog from a separate experiment, and it just so have happened to worked, so you now studied it closely.
I have absolutely no idea what may have happened in this one, and i am not a biologist, so do not know what is the usual way, but it is usually among these.
You can install a browser eextension (i think name is kiwix only) which can load offline zim files. problem is that ux is very bad (you need to load a zim file each time, or manually change). on desktop, my answer was to manually unpack all zim files (using zimutils) and then arrange them in a controlled dir structure, then recompress them into a mountable file format, and separately, maintain a list of all files in side, and while using, i have something hand rolled to mount the archive, select suitable file, and open in browser - yes it is a lot of work, but i do kinda have a offline search engine now.

Linux@lemmy.world•Xfwl4 - The roadmap for a Xfce Wayland CompositorEnglish
1·14 days agoif that is the case, then it is great. I personally am a rust fan, and use a smithay based wm (niri). and that is basically a single man project, but with active community support. XFCE can pull more man power, but still feels like wasted effort. if just the lang was the choice, they could have considered cosmic wm. it is mroe heavy than xfce needs, but they would have probably had an easier time.

Linux@lemmy.world•Xfwl4 - The roadmap for a Xfce Wayland CompositorEnglish
2·14 days agoI personally do not hink it is a great decision. xfce is not really large enough to afford making a wayland compositor. smithay lets you start from 10 or 20, instead of 0, but you still need to get to 100. They should have probably chosen something like wayfire/labwc or some other wayland floating wm. Though I wish them good luck, I used to use xfce, and loved it.

Linux@lemmy.world•Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discussEnglish
2·20 days agohas your system been running for some while? i have observed this behaviour in niri (a separate wm) as well, and seemingly, it is not a issue. if i understand it correctly, for any app that had vrma allocated, and is closed it’s vram is not cleared correctly (on amd i gpu) and that usage just gets added to wm (the host program). if it is not using much gpu (check any app which shows usage), then it is just a reporting issue. like when i fresh boot, my wm uses 100MiB of vram, but with time, it becomes 2GiB and stays there, but i still can open stuff which requires vram. kinda like buffered ram, which is still allocated, but available to use.

Linux@lemmy.world•Suggestions for Linux PDF Editor and E-signEnglish
1·21 days agoif a combination of 2 programmes work, then pdf arranger and libreoffice draw / xournalpp / okular. both foss and free (As in beer). for stuff like rearranging pages, changing sizes or orientation, cropping or even signing, the former can do fairly easily. for highlight, redact, bookmark, signing, latter work (they are a slighlty powerful viwers essentially, whereas libreoffice draw can edit much like adobe assuming fonts are availables).
it would make the workflow harder, but this is roughly what i use. I do not have to do pdf manipulation much, mostly read, so i have a simpler viewer (zathura in my case), which you can replace with lets say okular and get most of the latter set of features. and whenever you have to edit, you can make some shortcut (keyboard) to open current file in pdf arranger and there do former set of operations.
if you are okay with webapp, then i think xodo should work (they have a desktop electron client as well, but i think they only give windows download options). there you get all features, but would likely have to buy licenses. do not know where they are from, but i think they maybe are from china.
As for distro, and if you are tech support, see if you could go with a immutable distro, as that may reduce your work. (i do not want to start a distro war here so not giving any recommendation).
if a daily thing works - brodie robertson. it is more of any interesting news that piques his interest.
well it was not just for abuse, it basically repeated what you said in a funny high pitch voice, and there were many other small little activities it could do (based on where you touch the screen, for example a pat on head was meow, click on a sofa and it sits, there was shower, and other daily things - small but funny, and kinda very special like 12-15 years ago). I do not remember hitting it, but getting it to repeat stupid noises i make.

Linux@lemmy.world•Learning fixes without looking everything up or having the answer given outrightEnglish
2·25 days agoit is just practise i guess. like we all start searching online, and then eventually keep on learning - oh my mic is clippin, but i turned my volume way down and it is still doing that - why would that be - and then remember that 1 have 2 audio related things in my system - 1 is pipewire for all user facing stuff, and then alsa (alsamixer) for actual hardware - and oh look - i had accidentally given an internal mic boost of 100%. it is not like i got to know that that is a thing in a dream, but over past 2-3 years of looking online, i know what are common culprits, and i also have learnt a bit about my system and how different things are done. when you know that, it is easier to look up a particular manpage or README
