Sometimes your desktop just gets a little boring and when that happens, let Damask refresh it. The app can automatically cycle through your wallpapers and can even find you some new ones. It give you the option to pull from various sources, like Bing and Wallhaven's collection of backgrounds. With Damask, you can always have a new backdrop to your digital life!

You can follow the app's creator here: @subpop

You can get the app on Flathub here: https://flathub.org/apps/app.drey.Damask

I just saw that Mozilla is retiring the Mozilla Location Service which provides an open, crowdsourced alternative to proprietary location services from Google and other vendors. 😰

https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065

This is used by GNOME and thus Fedora, Ubuntu, Endless OS, etc. to help provide OS-level location services without requiring every app to implement its own. And apparently a patent troll is part of the reason Mozilla stopped investing in it. 🙃

The rivalry between Linux desktops is a thing of the past. Now the #KDE and #GNOME booths coexist side by side; I've seen users pass to both desks and pick up stickers for their laptops.

Prevent sleep/suspend when not logged in
Recently I've been logged into a laptop remotely a lot. Logging out from "main" session makes my Gnome on Debian 12 go to suspend after a while. To avoid it you just have to tell:

sudo dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 039;nothing039;

Thanks to WinEunuuchs2Unix for the answer
