I've used Wayland exclusively for years, but here's an example: https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2026-01-04-wayland-sway-in-2026/
tl;Dr the Wayland ecosystem has still not caught up in all edge cases, the weirder setup you have the more likely you're affected

Performance comparison between various Hypervisors
Xcp-ng might have the edge against bare metal because Windows uses virtualization by default uses Virtualization-Based Security (VBS). Under xcp-ng it can't use that since nested virtualization can't be enabled.

AI controls is coming to Firefox
Reply in thread
What's not changing though is that most of their focus will be on integrating AI which most people don't want.
I agree that AI chatbots are absolutely useless and have no place in a browser, but out of the three ML features in the screenshot, one is great for blind people, and another one is great for making the web more multilingual, so their usefulness is quite self-evident. Regarding ethics, at least for the last one it's using a local model, and was trained using open-source datasets.[1]
What makes so-called "AI" bad is not the amount of users that can benefit from it, but how useful it is to the people that do use the feature, which usually means having experts tailor machine learning unto a single purpose.
I personally use the translation feature at least once a week when looking at news article that are not in English, and now I'm using a lot to translate Japanese webpages to plan a holiday there, so I'm very happy that Mozilla has invested time abd collaborated with universities to make this feature, I wish other people were less flippant about it just because it has "AI" in its name.

Framework supporting far-right racists?
I'm very disappointed, this "open tent" argument is intellectualy dishonest and unacceptable: allowing openly hateful people into the big tent only means they will harm other people, and end up alone. It's just impossible to have a big tent with them and must be excluded.
I was trying to get the company I work for to adopt framework laptops as standard, and they were very interested. I've told them to stop the adoption effective immediately until there's a reversal in political messaging the company is doing, a simple "we're sorry we won't don't again" is not enough when they have funded
This also applies to recommending it to friends and family, of course.

EU law makes it a requirement to provide updates since a company stops selling the device. So they better fix it or they will be sued.

Nevermimd that signal's centralisation makes it vulnerable to this kind of outage, and that was a conscious design decision. So nobody should be surprise this has happened.
