I cut my programmer teeth on Koha years and years ago. Still one of the warmest open-source communities I've ever been involved in, especially to a shy teenager with a lot of opinions.
Great to see new faces in the community, sad to see the sheer insanity of MARC21 still causing chaos. MARCXML is gonna make it obsolete Any Day Now!

I'm pretty convinced this is because the app switcher can recognize _whether_ a part of an app's UI is a native text field and not just an image, but it's not smart enough to pull the text out. I've seen it make number 0 -> letter O and other such mistakes before, so I'm convinced it's using OCR. Which is probably harder for Chinese.
It's crazy to me that it can't just use the accessibility APIs.

Unfortunately, though, there are currently only three customer-owned modems approved for higher upload speeds: the CODA and CODA 56 from Hitron and the CM2050V from Netgear. The first two are from a company noone has heard of, and the last one is $350 (!) and includes pointless phone support. None of the near hundred other DOCSIS 3.1 modems on the market are supported, for no apparent reason.

I've had a much more pleasant experience with Bluetooth under Pipewire, though fixing issues such as incorrect Bluetooth profiles requires understanding still-pretty-young projects like WirePlumber.

I wonder if that's AR, and the cameras/processing involved are what use more power.

This entire article feels like blaming users for being confused by a confusing configuration language with unclear feedback.
Re:Ryzen 7000 amdgpu boot hang

This is a general problem with all amdgpu-supported devices too new to have firmware shipped in a distro. And a boot hang is a terrible way to find out you're missing firmware.
