Combined with how slow modern website are, I feel a sense of dread opening any website. Asking an LLM feels lower friction... but at what cost...

PE sticks to itself and not much else. Packing tape is PE and adhesive. Apply PE tape to the printer bed before printing.

Roman concrete was made lime cement (calcium dioxide); which cures via carbonation (hardens with carbon oxide). And adding pozzolan to lime makes it hydrolic (hardens with water). Is it surprising that it can still carbonate some? Modern concrete has steel which rust and crack concrete. You can use fiberglass rebar for longevity, or build without rebar even, but that is more costly and and less efficient.

This helps being as invisible as possible.

I noticed I am afraid of clicking without opening new tab today because so many times the UX is broken and loses it's spatial position.

I want application to know the screens, send windows to know positions etc etc. And this is now compositor specific. So some applications will know how to talk to the kde compositor to share the screen, or place a window at a specific position (very useful for so many things).

And to make it ergonomic I scripted kwin and set some shortcuts.

So yes, you can have any window PiP the way you like. But it requires you to do a long sequence of actions. Versus a single click for very specific PiP behavior.

Consider a window in a web browser tab. You could click the PiP button, which will pop out a tiny window, most likely already in a corner of the screen. This window is a mini video player. Your original browser tab stays untoucher, still at the same place in your web browser tab list, the rest of the tab still readable and scrollable etc etc.

Or, you could clone the tab. Move it to its own window. Locate the video. Put it in full screen. Un-fullscreen the window. Click on the pin button. Resize the window to the corner.

Same result, but not the same effort.
