About 90% of all problems
What I see is an inexperienced developer who instead of systematically debugging the issue keeps trying random stuff hoping that it will somehow work.

Any recommendations from the Steam Spring Sale?
Undertale is at a new all time love at $0.99. It's not really my jam but it's the time to pick it up if you always wanted to play it but never did.

If you knew in advance about being laid off, how would you YOLO the exit interview?
It depends. If there is any money on the line or don't want to burn bridges then I'd do the smart thing, whatever that is. Otherwise I'd just skip it.

F-Droid TIL thread: What's your favorite obscure feature in an F-Droid app?
Here is mine: In AntennaPod you can add a local folder as a "podcast".
This is a great way to add audio files from other sources to your pod listening schedule. Files copied from your computer, drm-free audiobooks, audio tracks extracted using NewPipe etc.
It is also possible to have the files deleted when you are done playing them.

Why I Switched to Nobara Linux, and Why You Should Too
Much of the post is the author reminiscing about how the community has changed over time, the author's Steam library, whether we need to dual boot and how great KDE is. After scrubbing through it I have no idea what makes the distribution special and why I'd want to pick it over other options.

The fastest ever human-made object keeps breaking its own speed record
My butt is orbiting the center of our galaxy at around 500K mph so that thing still has some ways to go.

Spam attack on Twitter/X rival Mastodon highlights 'fediverse' vulnerabilities
How visible is this to the average user? Just wondering because I have yet to see any spam at all in my Mastodon feeds. Big thanks to the admins for being on top of it!

Rich Americans are getting second passports, citing risk of instability

This is a personal decision but I think it's better to be pragmatic about it. If your country of origin permits dual citizenship I'd do the naturalization simply because it gives you more flexibility. It's a more secure status, no need to worry about renewing or spending longer periods abroad. And you get to vote of course.
Citizenships and passports are bureaucracy and they don't define who you are, that comes from your heart. I'd look at it as a practical matter.
My understanding is that Germany is looking to start permitting dual citizenship later this year.

Dear Reddit,
Imagine the person (or more likely a whole group) who has spent weeks designing and iterating over those arrows.

Reddit refreshes its logo and branding
Interesting that they went with the possessed teletubby look.

If you care about privacy, which I understand, you probably want to leave quickly.
Just because you care about privacy it doesn't mean that you have to stay indoors all the time. You can still hang around on the town square you just have to be conscious about what you do where.
A big part of caring about privacy is understanding how the platforms you use work and using them accordingly. With proprietary platforms this is often opaque and the rules can change. Open platforms are transparent and you can actually understand them - if you make the effort.

DOOM® CAPTCHA
No WASD, no strafe, not fair.
I got it by running around the imps and going for the grunts (all enemies are "monsters" in Doom)

The last paragraph notes this is not X11 specific, Wayland is affected too it's just that a bug prevents it from working when the FF window is not focused.

hooray, second Archlinux upgrade breaking in 3 years, guilty: systemd
The post would have been more interesting if you gave some details on what exactly broke, how you fixed it, relevant bugs etc.

Scratch your own itch. Work on a tool that YOU will enjoy using.

Turn your phone into a powerful Bluetooth keyboard and mouse (no servers needed)
This looks neat except for the keylogging potential. I'd want something like this to be open source before I can use it seriously.

Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
15 years. I haven't deleted my account yet but I haven't logged in since API day. I have a redirect in place to go through a libreddit proxy in case I end up on the site through a web search or something.
I am pretty commited to never contribute to the site again and I am planning to delete my account at some point. I want to make sure that I can reliably delete my full comment history before I do that and I haven't bothered researching that yet. I am hoping that there will be a way to do it through a GDPR or CCPA request at some point rather than me having to do the work. (yeah I know there are tools but it's still an effort)
Reddit had been my greatest online addiction by far. It's kinda nice that they made it so easy to kick it. A bit like finding an unexpected out from a bad relationship. Good luck with the rest of your life Reddit!

Autotype is already solved - ydotool, wtype and dotool exists (and possibly others as well).
These tools work by creating a virtual keyboard so they don't let you send input to a specific window. The input goes to whatever happens to be focused at the moment. This makes them less reliable than the X11 equivalents and unusable for tasks where you need to guarantee that the right window gets the input.
