Is there an issue with Wayland for your setup? I run Gnome + Wayland on Fedora, with two monitors with different sizes and different refresh rates - eerything seems to run pretty fine, including gaming?

Not OP but the last time I tried Wayland was about a year ago (also on Fedora) and I had similar issues using multiple monitors with different refresh rates, ended up switching to x11 which resolved it (using an nvidia card with nonfree drivers if that matters). But it seems I'll have to give Wayland another try if they've addressed it since then, I hadn't been keeping up with it.

So what could be some use cases for this apart from as a toy or for faking photos/art?

Generating memes to friends sparing search time. Describing sketches have them on the fly sharing with teams?

People search and remember things visually. Even if they're not consciously aware. So on the Cybershow [0] we decided to jump-in and use AI images as a quick way to visually tag episodes with something meaningful and fun.

We did that despite some moral ambivalence/uneasiness around AI "art".

For example, give me a "young and exciting Dana Meadows in front of a board of systems theory"

I'm not awful at photoshopping things, and sometimes that's the only way to get a specific image one has in mind. But it saves time and lets us concentrate on writing and researching instead.

TBH if an artist/illustrator came along and said "Let me do the episode icons even though you can't pay me yet" I'd feel inclined to ask the AI to step aside.

Mplayer/MPV used to be able to play videos in the X root window like a wallpaper. No idea if it still works nowadays.

I've seen few people go really overboard with their prompts. RPG-like personality sheets with points assigned to various traits (personality rubric? skill graph?), convoluted graphs of ineligible task descriptions, lots of other stuff that makes little sense to a human. I personally don't think these make any noticeable difference, but people deep into that type of prompting would tell me I just don't get how ChatGPT works.

Nvidia Omniverse Audio2Face perhaps?

> [...] there still exists social biases and stereotypes which are challenging to detect and filter.

If Google filters them, wouldn't the result be still biased and stereotyped, just along Google's biases? "I reject your biases and substitute my own!"

What's wrong with the old checkboxes and why are the sliding switches replacing them?

Why do people keep making these webpages that are so hostile to "open in new tab"?

I just don't see a single positive side of this. Cool, now more people can flaunt their wealth in a brand new way. It's like Fortnite skins, but more extreme and for adults. Just one more way to rope people into wasting money on mostly useless shit.

That sounds almost exactly like the functionality that Firefox' Pocket provides. The app downloads a reader view of everything you put in there so you can read offline.

Pocket sometimes fails to save the article locally, and forces 'Web View', rendering it useless unless loaded with a data connection.

I feel like Pocket could use some updates, it seems underloved from the Mozilla team, especially for an app that purportedly generates revenue for the company.

That forced-web-view thing is absolutely maddening.

I'd actually prefer a placeholder "we couldn't render this", which leaves the tagging tools available, to redirecting to the remote site.
