How to convert terrarrium terrain RGB mbtiles back into tif ?

You can do it with GDAL in two steps:

1. pick the correct decoder (Terrarium vs Mapbox Terrain‑RGB),
2. apply the formula to the RGB PNG tiles inside the MBTiles and write out a Float32 GeoTIFF (then optionally reproject to WGS84).

Below I give ready‑to‑run commands for both encodings, plus tips to choose the zoom level, mask with the alpha band, and reproject.

KDE Bug 466373 – Qt apps don't use wp-fractional-scale-v1 for hidpi fractional scaling on Wayland

SUMMARY Qt client apps using system Qt 5.15.8 still use the old downscaling mechanism to deal with fractional scaling, instead of wp-fractional-scale-v1, leading to visual artefacts.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Set "Scale" to fractional eg 135% in Display Configuration
2. Open a Qt app

OBSERVED RESULT

• Main bug: Can't share screen on a Wayland session with Firefox https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439607

from what I can see only Hirsuite (21.04) has xdg-desktop-portal built with PipeWire support

doesn't seem true anymore (see below)

Comparing length of json-encoded DataFrame. to_json doc

Conclusions with my sample dataset

• CSV
  • can be signifantly more compact if your data has lots of nans / strings, since their encoding is empty / not-quoted
  • but index is lost
  • and careful with incompatible quoting if you embed csv in json
• split is the most compact json encoding that keeps column and index names, use it over columns (default) / record
  • but index name is lost
  • and MultiIndex does not wround-trip
