Firefox on Linux currently doesn't support a mixture of HiDPI and non-HiDPI monitors, it has a single DPI setting. I think it will be supported when this [1] bug is resolved.

Shameless plug: I have written an addon to workaround this [2].

AutoHiDPI seems to look at the width of the active window rather than the size of the screen. This behavior seems like a bug.

Planning to do something similar for Thunderbird as well, as it suffers from the same problem?

imagemagick:

  $ import ss.png

From TFA

> import doesn't play nicely with compositors; making effects like transparent windows not render properly in the screenshot. maim, like scrot, uses imlib2 which isn't inflicted with this problem.

> maim can actually take screenshots with your cursor included in them! It does this using the XFixes extension. I don't think there's any other screenshooters that do this.

> For those of you with multiple monitors, maim is aware of which pixels are visible or not and will make off-screen pixels that are in screenshots black and transparent. Import and scrot both mindlessly include off-screen pixel data in their screenshots which is very often just garbage.

I haven't had any problems with import and compositing. My setup is very basic though: xcompmgr -c

Well I'll be damned. ImageMagick is like ffmpeg, every time you think of something that needs doing, it's already been done, but you never think to look for it.

imagemagick is hardcore underrated. I love it.

This is also what I use on a daily basis. One case where it falls through is where you are trying to capture a screenshot for something that has a certain UI state, like a mouseover. For those cases you can have PrintScreen set to capture your desktop and save it to a file. In OpenBox you would set up a key binding for Print that executes: import -window root filename.png

That's what I use most of the time. scrot is nice too.

Is it supports SSH and curses applications (e.g. vim)? I didn't see it in the videos.

There's an experimental web interface that's part of the project. I imagine that an ncurses interface could be built on top of the xiki API in some fashion, although I don't think that is really a use case that the creator has envisioned per se.

I get excited each time I see an attempt to improve the shell, e.g. Mosh [1] and TermKit [2]. I believe that there is room for improvement. But I also think that the UI itself might be in its best form because it is as simple as: type the command, hit enter, get the result. And also equally important, its very efficient.

I don't see that it can replace Bash but it can be useful in some cases. I really liked the Git functionalities.

I was thinking about digital democracy for some time but the open source model loses credibility when you use a centralized approach. I think making it decentralized with a cryptographically sound method is the key. Bitcoin is everywhere. I hope this project gains traction.

Using a pen instead of a word processor may adapt our mind to "getting it right the first time". We might need word processors that limits editing?

I completely agree, but is "getting it rigt the first time" really THAT important?

Such a thing already exists:
