  1. It's amazing how many things work better after you add pipewire-jack to them before they load. Even #flatpak applications that are supposed to be #pipewire enabled still work better if I frontload them with pw-jack.

    This was true for me with #Ardour and the new #Audacity4.

  8. Idea: I was listening to music with a strong beat while writing software. I started scrolling the screen with the beat, and it was a nice effect.

    💡 What if the Linux GUI had an option to automatically react to rhythm in subtle ways, by optionally introducing short delays (100 ms) into visual movements, so things like scrolling text, or opening and closing windows lines up with the beat.

    How: There could be rhythm server for Linux. It publishes the next timestamp for a beat (if it passes a threshold for groovyness).

    Then, the terminal could choose to preferentially flush buffers with the next beat. The WM could also use the data when doing animations and easing.

    The added latency limit would be configurable, with the default at the edge of what humans can detect. Serious party coders could increase the limit, which would impact usability but might look interesting.
