Fedora 44 is Replacing Decades-Old Kernel Console with Safer, Modern Alternative

by: Sourav Rudra Thu, 04 Dec 2025 14:17:07 GMT Fedora is known for pushing boundaries when it comes to adopting new tech, almost always staying near the bleeding edge of what's currently available. The project doesn't really wait around for things to become "accepted" before jumping in. That approach now continues as the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) just gave the green light to replace a very old system component with something more modern. What's Happening? Fedora 44 is di

Getting Creative With “The Measure”

by: Andy Clarke Thu, 04 Dec 2025 14:04:52 +0000 I spend an unhealthy amount of time on the typography in my designs, and if you’ve read any traditional typography books, you might remember “the measure.” If not, it’s simply the length of a line of text. But measure means more than that, and once you understand what it represents, it can change how you think about layout entirely. But why’s it called the measure?

Raspberry Pi 5 1GB Variant: Is It Worth $45?

by: Sourav Rudra Wed, 03 Dec 2025 10:30:02 GMT Raspberry Pi just launched the 1GB version of the Pi 5 for $45. At the same time, they've increased prices across the Pi 4 and Pi 5 lineups to offset rising memory costs. The hikes are significant. The 8GB Pi 5 now costs $95, up from $80. The 16GB variant jumped from $120 to $145. Even the 4GB Pi 4 sees a $5 increase to $60. According to Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton, the LPDDR4 memory shortage driven by AI infrastructure demand is the culprit.

Swiss Data Protection Group Says US Cloud Giants Can't Meet Privacy Standards

by: Sourav Rudra Wed, 03 Dec 2025 07:10:13 GMT The cloud computing space is dominated by a handful of Big Tech players. Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud together control a large portion of the global cloud market. These hyperscalers have built their empires on data. The more information flows through their systems, the more valuable their platforms become. This business model creates an exploitative relationship where people's privacy is traded for cheap prices.

A popular but fake image poking fun at Windows blue screen of deathMicrosoft did make changes to handle the criticism and jokes.

Scrollytelling on Steroids With Scroll-State Queries

by: Lee Meyer Tue, 02 Dec 2025 16:47:14 +0000 Do you think of scrolling as a more modern way of reading than turning pages in a book? Nope, the concept originated in ancient Egypt, and it’s older than what we now classify as books. It’s based on how our ancestors read ancient physical scrolls, the earliest form of editable text in the history of writing. I am Jewish, so I remember my earliest non-digital scrolling experience was horizontally scrolling the Torah, which can be more immersive

Not Every Browser is Built on Chrome: Explore These Firefox-based Options

Chris’ Corner: Web Components

by: Chris Coyier Mon, 01 Dec 2025 18:25:26 +0000 I’d never heard of a CEM before. That’s a “Custom Elements Manifest” or a custom-elements.json file in your project. It’s basically generated documentation about all the web components your project has. Dave calls them the killer feature of web components. I love the idea of essentially getting “free” DX just be generating this file. I particularly like the language server idea so that code editors can offer all the fancy autocomplete and

Prevent a page from scrolling while a dialog is open

by: Geoff Graham Mon, 01 Dec 2025 17:25:28 +0000 Bramus: YES! Way back in 2019, I worked on “Prevent Page Scrolling When a Modal is Open” with Brad Wu about this exact thing. Apparently this was mere months before we got our hands on the true HTML <dialog> element. In any case, you can see the trouble with active scrolling when a “dialog” is open: CodePen Embed Fallback The problem is that the dialog itself is not a scroll container. If it was, we could slap overscroll-

ObsidianOS Review: A New, Innovative Linux Distro Built Around A/B Partitioning

by: Neville Ondara Mon, 01 Dec 2025 07:42:54 GMT Most new Linux distributions tend to follow a familiar formula: take a well-known base, add a desktop environment, sprinkle in some theming, and call it a day. Sometimes it works; sometimes the distro disappears in six months. What you don’t often see, however, is a distro trying to rethink how updates, rollbacks, and system integrity fundamentally work. ObsidianOS is one of those unusual projects that immediately caught my attention for exa
