What if you want to use Wayland, but prefer Window Maker, which is restricted to legacy X11? Enter wlmaker, or Wayland Maker, a Wayland compositor that reproduces the look and feel of Window Maker. It’s lightweight, very configurable through human-readable configuration...
In recent weeks and months, you may have noticed that when accessing some websites, you see a little progress bar and a character, performing some sort of check. You’ve most likely encountered Anubis, a tool to distinguish real human browser users from “AI” content crawlers t...
