Just downloaded fences, it's really nice to keep the wallpaper area clean, double click desktop to hidden or show all icons, and the squares can replace docks.

Also for people using vista with tons of unnecessary processes running... wont hurt to have this little app.

Yeah the double click hide is useful :p

I downloaded it now, I was looking for a dock but this turned out to be much better. Double click hide and scroll bars come very useful. One problem, if anyone knows how to fix it since its bugging me, if a file has over two lines of words it over laps with the file underneath. :/

The double click feature is why i liked it. I don't have any icons on my desktop besides the current 'work' or 'downloads'. Keeping they hide when not necessary is fine.

Don't know about the two lines issue, try renaming the icons maybe?

Fences is a nice feature that should be incorporated in any mac, linux, windows...

ptwitter looks just like Twirl which is what I use.. wonder what the difference is? I cant get to ptwitter's site from work .

IMO there is not much difference between Twhirl and Pwitter. You can try downloading it here.

i'll never understand the need for all these twitter clients.

For me its about being easier to do, instead of having to open the website and read/post.. It's alot easier to just use a client like ptwitter or twirl.. You can post alot easier, like an Instant Messenger or read them like an IM.. I enjoy that more.

Hi,

could you tell me what is the name of the audio and weather gadget in your desktop??

thanx

The audio control is CD Art Display. I got the skin off Deviantart http://sorez.deviantart.com/art/Nay-os-Kor...splay-109686290.

The weather is a Avedesk/Sysstats gadget that I've modified a bit (I changed it even more since the screenshot). I did so much digging around for it (and still didn't find the exact one I was looking for) that I don't remember where I got it, but I think you can find it in the gallery on the Sysstats website.

      This makes me think of Dune for some reason.
    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      By monterxz · Posted

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
