There is something supremely screwy with the Intel video driver on my laptop, that the Gibson #xscreensaver seems to regularly tickle to the point of lockups. Since Gibson has been fine on previous laptops and my desktop, I'm prone to blame the driver and/or specific chipset in this machine. None of @jwz 's work is in question, it's been solid for me for like over 3 *decades* at this point. Kinda sad to disable that one, though, reminds me of #netrunner a lot (obviously)

That's about how I remember Win98! Cool.
I was only surprised that there's nothing like this in XScreenSaver...

Hmm… after installing the latest #Linux #kernel, my computer has frozen a few times when left idle for a while. Alternatively, it might be an #xscreensaver issue…

With LXQt I have rediscovered the joys of screensavers !!
Questions for linux users:
1. I wonder why one no longer finds screensavers in modern OSes. Is it just a fashion thing?
2. With increasing adoption of wayland, I wonder if any replacements/lookalikes are in the works. I really hope so!
Does anyone have more info ?

Hasta que no arreglen que se pueda usar protectores de pantalla - XScreenSaver como mínimo - en Wayland, nunca vamos a tener el año de Linux en el escritorio.
De repente hay que volver a X11, yo qué sé...

#xscreensaver wouldn't find that acceptable.

A rare moment of digital serendipity; when #xscreensaver randomly kicks off the "drift clouds" screen saver the instant Cliffs by #aphextwin starts playing (the orchestral rendition by #AlarmWillSound)

The #XScreensaverCollection was a really nice way to stimulate my creativity when I was younger.

Ok, a little bit of debugging and verbose xscreensaver brought me to the suspicion that the cvlc command itself is at fault: it inhibits xscreensaver, immediately unlocking the screen again, doing so regularly. I need a command line option for cvlc to ALLOW the screensaver. No inhibit needed. Question: IS there an option to allow screensavers in cvlc??

#xscreensaver has some great comments!

I installed it, got #xscreensaver somehow integrated into Cinnamon, disabled the built in "screensaver", which does only blanking. But I notice that xscreensaver does not activate. Manually locking the screen reveals why: It seems the laptop generates lots of spurious input events at random intervals. Why??? And why does the original Cinnamon screensaver work fine? Can I use xev to listen for those events? And can I make xscreensaver ignore those? I doubt they are useful events.

Wow, this is legitimately cool:

#XScreenSaver, suite : la version 6.13 ramène un ancien bug en faisant échouer le déverrouillage de session (alors que le mot de passe entré est bon) !
Bug connu et solution trouvée ici :

Cette nuit, avant d’éteindre les ordis et de me coucher, MAJ dud système et notamment de #XScreenSaver qui passe en 6.13, et dont le changelog indique :
“Rewrote **glslideshow** to add more image-transition effects.”
Syndrome XKCD 1172 immédiat (j’avais pas demandé à ce que les transitions entre les images du diaporama changent ; et encore moins qu’on puisse pas les désactiver ! 😭).

This is #fun, #informative, maybe an example of some kind of #hacking #left which we should develop socially (in order to confront against an increasingly decadent #capitalism), and also maybe a good entry-point to learn about an interesting person and #history episodes...

@airikr Nostalgic images for my screensaver on my very early-2000s themed setup. You can use a feed of images as a source of images in #xscreensaver.

Making a Flickr account so I can get an API key so I can get pre-2009 images for my #xscreensaver.

The choice of language isn't going to help much if the people writing the rusty replacements for decades-old tools don't bother to understand the security issues and attack surfaces that led to the design of those tools in the first place.
Similarly, Linux distributions shipping #screensaver implementations that are essentially nothing but a login-bypass mechanism that wastes CPU/GPU cycles.

@rf, кто-нибудь пробовал интегрировать #xscreensaver в ОС, чтобы он не стартовал во время просмотра полноэкранного видео в браузере?
разработчик обещает такое, если подружить программу с systemd и DBus, но его инструкции слишком уж куцые:
