i really would like proper screensavers back. we can see in certain edge cases that burn-in is still a problem with TFTs (and i guess OLEDs), it's just not widely known anymore

@mntmn do screensavers have an advantage over dpms off, other than looking absolutely stunning?

@whitequark @mntmn I didn't use KDE with kwin_wayland, so XScreenSaver was still an option.
Now, without KDE, I'm using XScreenSaver.

@wolf480pl @mntmn I keep all outputs always on, because it also disables audio on my HDMI monitor.

@mntmn TFT LCD “burn in” is reversible, AFAIK. My phone does that frequently and it can be fixed by letting the screen/device to cool down.

@wolf480pl @mntmn And another monitor needs ~20 minutes to reach full backlight brightness, so I don't want to turn it off when I'm expecting I'll need it soon.

@mntmn one of the few things I will miss once my desktop is off Xorg in a Debian release or so is XScreensaver.
look, I don't even think it has the most practical use for me on my display, I just think it's neat
Also have absolutely had a non-OLED LED monitor burn in.

@jwo cool down literally, as in low temperature?

@mntmn Yep. This screen doesn't like heat (mostly from the smartphone electronics) and shows really ugly persistence when I have a non-moving image (UI etc.) on it, especially when it's hot.

@mntmn they are coming back https://www.jwz.org/blog/2025/07/xscreensaver-6-12/
but screen blank helps with the burn in problem already a good bit and some OLEDs seem to come with a screenblank feature in firmware it seems

Il presidente degli Stati Uniti ha invitato lo speaker della Camera, Mike Johnson, a rivelare le condizioni di salute di Dunn, che ha annunciato il suo ritiro dalla Camera. Lo speaker, visibilmente imbarazzato, ha provato a fermarlo, dicendo: "Questa non è un'informazione pubblica", per poi aggiungere che Dunn “ha avuto una nuova possibilità di vita” e che Trump lo ha fatto operare all'ospedale militare Walter Reed. Il deputato avrebbe poi promesso a Johnson di votare "per lui e per Trump fino a quando vivrò".
Non contento, Trump ha parlato anche del capo di gabinetto Susie Wiles, che soffre di un tumore al seno: “Voglio dire che la prognosi è eccellente, più che eccellente”, ha detto.

@cryptids yup, I'm using Moshidon for Android, and there's an option to hide posts without alt-text, as well as warn before posting media without alt-text.
@leon I have a 7-day auto-delete setting (except on bookmarked posts), which is probably why you couldn't find it 🫂
Also, #NotAGirl 🩷

@cryptids that's what I do

Blijkt dat het Trump regime toch netter te zijn dan we dachten? 🥲

"De Amerikaanse overheid heeft een hele zwik wetten om buitenlanders mee af te luisteren. De CLOUD-act is een soort voordeur, waarbij er een net verzoek naar Microsoft zou gaan “kunt u de email van de Nederlandse belastingdienst ophoesten?”. Zou netjes melding van gemaakt worden, en verwerkt worden in de statistieken. Maar ze gaan natuurlijk niet in Europa melden dat ze graag Europa af willen luisteren!"
