Microsoft boss Satya Nadella will earn a wallet-busting $79.1m (£60.9m) this financial year, up 63 percent on his compensation for 2023.

The huge boost to Nadella’s pay in both cash and stock, announced by Microsoft last night, comes after a positive year overall for the company’s financial revenues - but a turbulent 12 months for its employees.

2024 has seen two mass layoffs at Microsoft, with 1900 staff laid off in January, before a further 650 Xbox employees were shown the door in September.

    It’s been a little while since I used a KDE or Gnome desktop in anger; I can’t remember how they tackle issues where user attention is needed on an inactive app. What do you figure the best solution is? Make the taskbar/dock icon visually distinct (flashing, jumping, a badge, or similar) but don’t permit focus switch?

      Blink the window-title and in case something like a taskbar is used, use the application icon to get attention.

      But don’t act like you are the most important and single application on the system. Be modest.
