> I can certainly understand the frustration at having to deal with a community that gets annoyed at anything that changes simply because they're already so used to the garbage pile they have that they now hold the delusion that it's actually not garbage.

It's not just the FOSS community, look at how non technical people react every time gmail, outlook or excel makes a tiny change to the UI (not to mention big ones). It really makes people angry when things don't work the same anymore, let alone when it doesn't even work anymore for their use case.

> In my admittedly somewhat distanced opinion, Wayland's biggest mistakes were not launching with a coherent strategy for replicating functionality like screen sharing, screenshots, and to a lesser extent remote desktop/applications. They just punted and said "that's a compositor problem!"

My guess is that it wasn't a deliberate strategy, it just that like anything related to the Linux desktop, the project was underfunded so they had to focus on certain issues. In this case it was focusing on improving from xorg and making sure it doesn't break anything on the main use cases of whoever was funding the project (mainly redhat). Apple and Microsoft can afford to pour billions in their display server/protocol/windowing system. Not so much for Linux.

If I wanted wayland, I'd run windows or MacOSX who both deliver what wayland promises.
I'd rather have X11/XWindows, and an internetwork of computers instead of an isolated desktop.

There were better solutions in the past. Still could be, and possibly better solutions for the future.
Yeah it's the same with the erroneous substitution of the scientific definition of a "theory" with its dictionary definition. Really sloppy and lazy.

Acting like an arse is not the way to get your point across. Wayland definitely does not work under every use case, but claiming that anyone who does have issues with it is a conspiracy theorist is wrong

Guess what, you're using linux, and these things take time to develop and be adopted. That's the way linux always has been, you trade off less than perfect software for the benefit of endless configuration.

Wayland will be widely adopted one day, but insulting anyone who has issues with it does not help your case.
Unbeelievable!
Yes, probably it was xwayland, you're right. At least I can remember it _almost_ working, but not quite, so there should have been something.

SoundOnSound have a good article covering why this doesn't happen. In short, there's no standardized methodology (i.e. standard dummy head) for measuring it, and the interactions between the headphones and the listener's head vary significantly.

You could (relatively) easily measure the free-field response of the headphones, but I suspect that would tell you very little about how they will sound when you're actually wearing them. For example it would likely underrepresent the difference between closed-back and open-back designs.

So, let's recount the conditions for Sale winning the bet:

1. an economic disaster that would render the dollar worthless, causing a depression worse than the one in 1930;

2. a rebellion of the poor against the monied;

3. a significant number of environmental catastrophes.

---

# Condition 1:

Well, the Covid-related depression could be described as worse than in 1930, but it's a toss-up, especially if you don't focus on the US. However, the dollar has not been rendered worthless at all. And while the population is struggling, the world and the US' base of industrial production and infrastructural services are in reasonable working order.

So condition 1 is NOT MET.

# Condition 2:

The poor have not rebelled against the monied. In most of the world, there is some Covid-related unrest - some demonstrations, some strikes (a really huge one in India recently, but maybe not quite Covid related). In the US there has been a wave of mass protests, occasionally bordering on riots, regarding police violence and fueled by Covid. But that has not gotten anywhere close to a rebellion against the monied. I _wish_ it would have, but:

Condition 2 is NOT MET.

# Condition 3:

Is Covid an environmental catastrophe ? Naah, that's too much of a stretch. There's Global Warming - but it's currently only grave, not catastrophic. One might argue the catastrophe is now just a matter of time (not sure I would accept the argument) - but this is a timed bet.

You also have things like mass deforestation destroying cultures; or the state of the great barrier reef etc. But still,

Condition 3 is NOT MET.

Kelly squarely wins the bet. That Patrick guy evaluated the situation unfairly.
If I've understood this article correctly, the thesis is that we should avoid trying to understand the mind, because understanding the mind is inevitably about controlling and subverting human behaviour to worse ends, and that it also legitimizes those ends by dehumanizing people.

I am, mind, not totally sure I have understood the article, because the article is not written very clearly, as the point is never stated without vagueness and allusion. Perhaps this comes from the author's worries about the negative effects of understanding things.

To me it sounds like a nomadlist-type model could work.
What draws people in to nomadlist is the info (cities, budget, etc..). What hooks them is the community (forum, Slack chat, # of nomads in the city).
One theory is that it's a 15th century hoax. That fits the timeline reasonably well.

That strikes me as being more plausible than the idea that it was a later hoax. Depending on how much of the provenance you believe, that would place its creation sometime between the early 17th and late 19th centuries. That does stretch credibility a bit. The hoaxer wouldn't just have to find some old calfskins; they would have to find an entire book's worth of unused (I believe it's been confirmed that the book is not a palimpsest) calfskins that all date to around the same time. And then they'd need to get all the other materials right, which is something that, depending on where in the timeline you are, may have required knowledge that was not available at the time.

The main problem that I'm aware of with it being a 15th century hoax is that it's hard to imagine why someone would do such a thing. But this was around about the renaissance, where there was a revival in interest in obscure and ancient texts, and rich people who weren't monks were starting to get interested in books. So perhaps there was something of an underground market for these sorts of things, which would at least permit a financial motive.

GPU drivers are made up of two parts:

- the kernel driver (AMDGPU)
- the user space driver (Mesa, AMDVLK, AMDGPU-PRO)

The lack of CL support has nothing to do with the kernel driver, that's something that gets implemented in the user space driver.

And that punting is indicative of the problem. The reason the stacks we have are hot garbage is because they didn't have the luxury of punting on hard problems, and hard problems solved quickly make your stack hot garbage.

Every 6 months I try switching to Wayland. I spend an hour or so using it for regular desktop gnome use and fixing minor bugs (ie. The kind I can fix with a config tweak). I then switch back again because it just isn't there yet.

Recent issues:

* The brightness control for my screen doesn't work with it.

* The mouse sometimes lags

* Graphical corruption in Chromium when on webgl sites.

* Blank screen after resume from hibernate.

* Seems to randomly freeze forever sometimes after an OOM killer run.

* Chromecast wouldn't work
I can't use HackerNews on my monitor without scaling. If I press Ctrl+0 on Chrome, the site becomes unusable.
Oh ffs I’m quite frankly fed up of gargling alpha grade crap from people forcing it down my throats. I don’t have to drink it and praise it if it doesn’t work.

When exactly on Linux my NVidia 1660 GTX will do fractional scaling at 150% so a 27” 4K monitor is usable, doesn’t crap out every two minutes and actually ships with some distributions and importantly actually stays working every time I update it, I will stop berating it. This has been promised forever and it’s still a pile of random things I have to hack around and then I barely works.

Until then I’m a Mac and Windows desktop user.
This is a common misconception, thank you for bringing it up.

Wayland and modern post-KMS Xorg do not control your hardware, and have no real ability to do anything with 3D acceleration outside of what Mesa/DRI/DRM/KMS grant them the permission to do. Wayland and Xorg both call the same APIs provided by them, and call them effectively the same way.

The side effect of this is fbcon can be ran on modern "all shader/no fixed function" hardware without special hacks and I can run a 3D accelerated program on the console with no X or Wayland running... which also, by extension, makes X and Wayland both just simple normal programs that don't particularly do anything special.

If you can't run Steam games, this either means Proton (or the native Linux binary of that game, for the few that have them) has a bug that has nothing to do with Wayland, or your system isn't setup correctly (this happens most often if you accidentally install an Nvidia GPU and use binary drivers).
That chart really does tell it all. Which lines are going up? the ones the government is most involved in. Which lines are going down? the ones with the least(by comparison) regulated markets. I don't know why people after seeing that chart attribute it to uneven "productivity growth".
Yea I was shocked how I never got a fever with covid. Maybe a few hours at most. Kids had a fever for one night.

Wife and I were horribly exhausted for a week before any other symptoms showed up. So we just dismissed it as being tired. Even had a negative test during that week.
I'm not sure what clarification I could provide given I don't know what you're missing.

You're correct (AFAIK anyway) that stack pages are mapped lazily. That doesn't change the fact that C stacks are large allocations, while Go will only allocate a very small stack (2k last I checked) per goroutine.
Do you want your wife to think you are washing your hair instead of taking a dump?
I am neither fond of Xorg nor Wayland. I have used both and I see shortcomings of both.

Xorg is Overly Bloated/Done without giving much importance to security.

On the other hand, Wayland is technically superior , might be more secure than Xorg. But, it's feature parity doesn't match with that of Xorg.

Now,i don't think those features must be pushed into Wayland itself. i don't know but something desktop oriented Wayland implementation with those missing pieces filled would be good idea.

But, will security suffer? Maybe. For example, Wayland is said to be secure because window can't see other windows. But, necessity arose due to requirement of Screen Recording so some API was created to access The Screen. So, didn't it make that security claim irrelevant because each window can access the screen? i think it's still not thought out properly.

If it is a "broken pile of shit," and a "shitty codebase," wouldn’t the anti-Wayland be right? I do not use Linux on the desktop.

For most cubesat/smallsat constellations, it probably does make more sense to just launch a new fleet.

I just saw him in The Fog and in Creepshow again recently. He was a talented guy.
I've been using Wayland since it became the default in Arch Linux with Gnome and it almost always worked flawlessly. There are some (rare) programs that don't work well with wayland but I assume that's mostly the programs fault.
Depends on what you plan on use when you do make a switch. In general, X applications will keep using Xdefaults because they run on XWayland, and the window manager will handle input configuration, displays, wallpaper and so on.

There are some ad-hoc implementations for doing what you want iirc, but it really is more "integrated" than what you are used for.

I have to test, have not done that in quite a while, but I think that you can just call let's say "sway" on the CLI and it will start wayland directly.
> Weak security does not bestow the right to steal data.

It does not, but entirely absent security does give the public the right to view the data. HiQ vs LinkedIn [1] found that scraping of publicly available assets did not constitute a violation of the CFAA.

That court upheld that in order to trigger a CFAA violation, there needs to be some form of access control in place. Otherwise the data is considered public. Not only are you allowed to scrape it; Parler is not allowed to try to stop you from scraping it, unless they are willing to put the data behind a log in wall.

> No traditional vaccine has finished phase-3 trials anywhere. Everything is something fairly new.

According to the table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_vaccine both CoronaVac and Covaxin are traditional "inactivated virus" vaccines, and both have finished Phase 3 trials; CoronaVac is already being applied by the government here (started last month, so far only health workers and elderly above 90 years old), and IIRC there have been talks of bringing Covaxin to be applied by private clinics.
