I am starting to question if my secondary laptop actually has screen burn-in or not.
I installed xscreensaver months ago, and it has felt like it has been helping, but there have been multiple lapses, where more visible lines go through the entire screen, and all of my pinned tabs show up on the screen after minimizing Firefox (this usually goes away on its own) 2 days ago, there was at least 1 burn line present on every centimeter height of my screen, and today, there isn't even a single artifact on the screen.
I am starting to become convinced its the GPU. This is my only laptop with an NVIDIA GPU (I got it at the time, so that I could get some other high-end specs, such as 20 CPU cores, 64 gigabytes of RAM, and 4 terabytes of internal disk space) NVIDIA has been extremely unstable on Linux, just like I have been hearing about for several years beforehand, I haven't even really utilized the GPU unfortunately. I feel it might be corrupt.

Does anyone remember the 1990s Mac OS #screensaver application that displayed real-time #satellite tracking? I loved that app, it was so cool.
A wide range of art - 90+ hours - to use as a screensaver or art show on your TVs and monitors. Great for parties and when guests come over. Use with or without the background music.

Aber mal was ganz anderes.
Gibt es (hier) eigentlich noch Menschen die Screensaver benutzen?
Und wenn es nur die Windoof Bilderwechsel-Funktion ist.
Hatte vor langer Zeit mal aus ein paar Tourneefotos extra Screensaverbilder präpariert und stelle gerade fest besagte Funktion schon *ewig* nicht mehr benutzt zu haben. 🤔

I am now onto my 3rd screensaver on XScreensaver. I started out with Scooter, but eventually got tired of it, and moved to Abstractile for about a month, until yesterday, when I switched to BinaryRing. All 3 of them are pretty cool screensavers. I am able to get screenshots while in screensaver mode, which is how I got these 3 images. As long as I don't move the mouse or click anything, the screensaver will remain active. I also softlocked myself today by accident, double clicking the screensaver option, then the screensaver literally would not go away (I could still use programs by keyboard shortcut only, but couldn't see what they were doing) and I had to hard power cycle my system to fix it. (The Scooter screenshot I took isn't very good, it looks much better when animated)

Was wondering what the hell keeps my #Tahoe-equipped work-#Mac running so hot all the time.

It turned out that it's the #screensaver. Nearly 50% CPU load constantly. What the hell. PongSaver surely ain't a supercomputing application, goddamit!

So I had to let PongSaver go. Sob. I've been using it for… what? 20 years?

I still ofc have it installed on my own machine. No issues on #Sequoia.

PongSaver is the bestest. I even dig the glitches.
