Lcamtuf ☛ It's all a blur
If blurring is the same as averaging, then the simplest algorithm we can choose is a single-axis moving mean. In photo editing software, this filter is commonly called motion blur and is fairly similar to the artifacts produced by rapid object movement or camera shake.
To implement the effect, we take a fixed-size window and replace each pixel value with the arithmetic mean of n pixels in its neighborhood. For n = 5, the process is shown below: [...]

Notebook Check ☛ Nvidia releases 580.126.18 Linux driver to fix Kernel 6.19 compatibility issues
Nvidia has released Linux driver 580.126.18, a recommended update that fixes a kernel module build issue affecting Linux kernel v6.19. Here’s what changed and who should update.
Nvidia has posted a new recommended (production branch) Linux display driver: 580.126.18. On Nvidia’s Unix driver page, 580.126.18 is now listed as the latest Production Branch release, alongside newer feature and beta tracks.

Make Use Of ☛ How I reduced context switching on Linux by redesigning my browser workflow
I did not set out to fix my focus. I set out to stop feeling mentally fried at the end of otherwise reasonable workdays. The kind where you technically got things done, but your brain felt like it had been dragged through five different conversations at once, most of them happening inside your browser.
What finally clicked was realizing that my operating system was not the main source of context switching anymore. The browser was. Once I treated the browser as a workspace instead of a dumping ground for tabs, context switching dropped sharply without adding tools, rules, or discipline.
