Animacide, your link requires people to log into a forum to see the screenie.

Any chance you could host it somewhere without that? (like imageshack.us)

I'm lving that screenie, sentio.

Have you got a background with ion there? Or is it an Eterm viewport like mode for the terminals?

Thanks! I'm loving it too! :happy:

It's a wallpaper that's visible through transparent URxvts.

I have uploaded it especially for you, and it's available right here.

Ion3 is amazingly quick, and it's extremely functional once you get the hang of it. I plug it every chance I get. :blush:

As long as Tuomov (the author) feels the same way about other alternatives as I do, I'm set for life. ;)

Thanks for uploading that wallpaper sentio, it's a great shot :)

How do I get a wallpaper in ion 3? I had a trawl through the man pages, but I didn't see anything on setting a wallpaper, and xsetroot, fbsetbg etc haven't worked.

Nevermind, I worked out the background thing. It seems that it doesn't appear in a blank frame, but it will appear through a transparent window :p

Anyway, this is my shot, I've shamelessly gone sentio's route with ion3 :shifty:

I use feh to scale the image to the background.

So, something like:

feh --bg-scale /home/sentio/graphics/wallpapers/11linuxkb.jpg

to initially set up the background, and in ~/.xinitrc:

<snipped>
eval `cat ~/.fehbg`
ion3

to set the image before ion3 starts.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
