I have AI hype, online form, and online survey exhaustion. Working in tech has taken a turn for the worse. Is this really what we want to do with our days?

Small rant:

I use three monitors at work and now use two at home... which in itself is great.
But there is something that nags me.
When dealing with a multi monitor setup I tend to switch my focus too often between monitors. I ask myself if that is the way to go.
Thinking about rather using one and handling all the windows in different workspaces - since switching is easy via keyboard.
Maybe this is just me... but I kinda feel a little disorganized - if that makes sense.

@jhx I'm the same. I just use one monitor. I find multiple monitors distracting.

Novel Attack Against Virtually All VPN Apps Neuters Their Entire Purpose

" . . Neuters Their Entire Purpose"

Researchers have discovered a new attack that can force VPN applications to route traffic outside the encrypted tunnel, thereby exposing the user's traffic to potential snooping or manipulation.

This vulnerability, named TunnelVision, is found in almost all VPNs on non-Linux and non-Android systems.

@kevinrns "is found in almost all VPNs on non-Linux and non-Android systems." Guess I'm good then.

Okay y'all, I can officially say that Fedora 40 Workstation is inaccessible. After you install the OS, the first start window opens, allowing you to choose a network. I cannot move around in this window. I cannot use Orca commands in this window. Alt + Tab only leads me back to that window. Control + Tab, F6, F10, Super + F10, do nothing.

Linux evangelists may say "Well there are different spins, dude! Use the Mate one, dude!" That's not the point. What do people see when they go to download Fedora? Do they see Mate first? KDE first? No. They see the Fedora 40 Workstation, using the Gnome desktop. Their flagship is not accessible. I cannot say that I'm surprised. I might try the KDE spin next. Or I might just go to Mate where at least I know it can't get any worse than that.

@pixelate This is disappointing, I wonder if the Fedora team tests for accessibility?

I just read that a single Bitcoin transaction requires upwards of 1,000 kW-hr of electricity.

That’s like running a small air conditioner 24/7 for a month and a half.

@bignose @frameworkcomputer Yes it is. I have a powerful Slimbook, but the fan spinning up always annoys me. FWP, I know.
