> 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.

It's not just about replicating this functionality. It's about having an open framework that makes building these tools, and other unforeseen tools, easy. X11 was very accommodating of this.

For example, I like to run xsnow during the holidays. Wayland's answer to xsnow is -- we don't support that, but tell you what, draw up an RFC for a D-Bus API for desktop snow and wait 5-7 years for compositor implementors to consider incorporating it. Or something completely different. You know, whatever. It's like you have to prove your use case is valid to the community before you can even start hacking on it in a way that you can expect it to work with more than one DE.

For Wayland the attitude is "Fuck you. You get a buffer for a desktop window and that's it. [Wayland does not support nested windows.] Oh, that's not enough? You're not writing a desktop app? You want snow on the desktop/a desktop magnifier/a hall of mirrors effect toy/an anime window sitter/pinnable menus/something that responds to global hotkeys/etc.? I'm sorry, did we not anticipate your pwecious widdle use case? Fuck you. No one actually writes applications that way any more, nerd. Go back to the nerd table. We're trying to get the cool popular Mac-using kids to notice us here."

The X11 security issues are mitigatable with some changes to the server implementation. The Wayland approach really never was about security. It's about letting the cool kids define the shape of the Linux desktop to the exclusion of ordinary users/hackers.
I've been using EndeavourOS ever since Antergos shut down and never had a single issue that I wouldn't have in other distros. Isn't the point of Linux that anyone can do whatever they want with it? If you think that's a bad thing, you might have a better experience with closed source operating systems.

It's on the protocol designers and promoters to determine what it ends up being of course. It seems like a bit of a mismatch to me right now. The client cert support as the exclusive way to identify users is a really cool feature of the protocol IMO, but it doesn't seem like it's very useful without dynamically rendered pages. It's certainly possible to do dynamically rendered pages now, but they're also of much more limited use without the ability to send complex data to the server using the same protocol.
The only similarity is the non-standard filesystem hierarchy but even how that comes to be differs conceptually.
Gentoo has continued to be one of my favorite GNU/Linux flavors because it makes me feel like I'm fully in control of my system, across package feature flags, compiler flags, init process, disk management, and window systems. It leaves you with a blank slate to truly make your own. Make no mistake--it does take significant work and understanding to do so, but for me the satisfaction is immense. On a cold winter's night, compiling dev-qt/qtwebkit can even keep you warm.

One of my favorite tongue in cheek sites from Gentoo's earlier era:

We don't assume that there are consistent principles that lead to reliable results at all, rather we theorise that there might be and then test to see if this supposition can be demonstrated practically. So far this has turned out pretty well for us, to put it mildly. We don't need to base that on faith, because as I'm sure you are aware so far it has turned out to be consistently true in practice. That's what testability is all about, the elimination of the need for faith.

If things that at first seem static turn out to change in the universe under changing conditions, that simply isn't a problem for science. Just look at the theory of relativity which superseded Newton's 'static' laws of motion and gravitation.

As for laws of nature originating with religion, the concept was first explicitly articulated in Europe in pagan Rome, but not in any religious context. It certainly didn't come from Christianity with it's volatile, opinionated and highly active and interventionist deity.

The Wikipedia foundation seems to think they have plenty of funds to focus on things outside of maintaining Wikipedia. I think that is a sign the organization’s goals don’t really match up with people’s expectations.
Yep, inflamed cells love glucose. That's the whole reason PET scans work. I ate low carb for a while (while I was at SpaceX actually,) and the health benefits were obvious and plentiful. It's difficult to maintain that lifestyle when you have a family though.

Oddly, one of my social circles while I lived in LA was "Herbalife health coaches" since they put on high intensity beach workouts. It was an interesting bunch, and a change of pace from the aerospace crowd. The person that had dibs on me entering the organization got progressively more irritated when I didn't sign up or buy anything beyond a smoothy after each workout...
Take a look at Fedora Silverblue, or on the server Fedora CoreOS (FCOS)/RHEL CoreOS (RHCOS) if you want to see serious mainstream effort at it (no shade at the other projects whatsoever btw, I think this is cool).

I don't currently run Silverblue full time but I could see myself doing so in the future.

Regarding docker containerization specifically (or a different OCI-compliant runtime like Podman), it gets very hard because of things like video and sound (Pipewire should help immensely), but also there are lots of apps that you want to have uncontainered access. Like Vim becomes a lot less useful to me if it's filesystem is contained.

But this is a real problem: it's not good that the Linux ecosystem has been reduced to "we shall eat whatever dogfood Redhat cooks for us". Wayland didn't even start as a RH project, iirc, and didn't really gain any traction for ages, but now it's a Big Deal because RH pushes it...?

I don't understand why so many people feel the urge to psycho-analyze a publicly available subreddit that currently has 8.2m million subscribers. I can just read it an make up my own mind. It would be one thing if they provided specific links, but most of the time it's just wild generalization.

why Apple M1 and AWS Graviton is based on ARM? if ARM license cost is a concern. even smaller players use ARM as well...
Why do you think it is ignored? Feel free to suggest a way to improve the article, if you want :)

In my opinion this is partially addresses in the threat modelling section, where I mention the need to trust "The companies running the servers needed by the app to work".

Anyway I believe the threat you mention is a very difficult one to defend against, because probably even metadata alone is sufficient to construct a graph of relations. So, I maybe wrong, but if you do not want to trust any company at all, then even Signal may not be enough for you in this scenario. Regarding the choice of WhatsApp vs Telegram for this scenario, you simply have to decide if you trust more Facebook (which we already know supplies this kind of mass data to the US government) or the Telegram team. Or you can trust neither.

Full screen and split screen have become my default modes of using almost everything on macOS. It's a pleasant, generally better focused, way of interacting. I just wish it were richer like the tiling WMs I used on Linux. Maybe not as useful on a laptop (due to screen size and my aging eyes), but when attached to a high res monitor it would be nice to be able to split the screen into quarters, at least, instead of halves.
I'm not sure what my kid will inherit, but I've replaced the ear pads on AGK 240s and Sony 7506s and they'll work for many years to come. Whereas the Beat Studio Pro I got for free when I bought a Mac are quite nice, when the battery final goes they'll be useless as despite having a cable, they only work when turned on (idiotic!).
All of them, just not their own.
This was a sway thing more than a Wayland thing and a PR for it was made back in March https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/pull/2064 Edit: but not merged yet :/

Also it's (ironically) an X11 related issue which shows up do to XWayland backwards compatibility, not something new with Wayland.

Chrome also since supports Wayland natively so the workaround in that PR isn't even needed for it anymore. Electron is still a bit behind but it's looking like Electron 12 should have native Wayland support as well, until then the workaround for X11 app scaling is there.

There are still a few things I'd like to see land (which are closing in) before saying Wayland is a better fit for most users but better DPI scaling certainly isn't one, it was one of the first wins to land to be honest.

.

Regardless sway isn't for most users and will probably never be. I'd look more to issues in KDE or similar where it's more focused on the "normal" use case, supports Nvidia just fine, and is expected to work out of the box.
I've found sites using Material UI guidelines (heavy use of cards and navbar hamburger) especially culpable to this. Huge gap of greyish whitespace with a hamburger in the left.

Someone else mentioned bootstrap in the other thread too.

Maybe because these Frameworks are hugely popular, their defaults amplify the impact. Definitely these values are tweakable.
I think Wayland is about as feature complete as it's gonna get at this point. Mutter, Kwin are still working on adding features to support workflows that relied on the loosey-goosey nature of Xorg. Like Xorg never had "support" for global hotkeys or screen sharing. It's just that programs were allowed access to all inputs and the screen buffer. Designing a system where only some programs are allowed to do that isn't trivial.
That is correct. Typically if want to update your keymap, you would just update the firmware running on the dongle. The firmware on the two wireless keyboard will pretty much never change.
RISC-V seems to be the equivalent of Go in so many ways, stylistic simplicity at the expense of performance and actual simplicity. That doesn't make it bad, just flawed like everything else.

It won't take over user<->device centric computing (desktop/laptop/tablet/high end mobile). It might become the ubiquitious IoT processor, but the divergence of chip capabilities (and subsequent OS & ABI fragmentation) means nothing will be interoperable, even at source code level. When I compare that to the extreme interoperability of RPi + Pico Pi devices (even with all their painful flaws) I know which one I would prefer.
> Look, if it's ok to say don't buy nvidia graphics cards and expect to use Wayland, why is it not ok to say don't buy mixed DPI and expect to use X11?

It’s still a hard sell when everything just works on Windows and macOS. It’s yet another reason why someone won’t pick up Linux when 90% of the features they want are present.
Nvidia supports exactly one use case on Linux: running their GPUs in servers or workstations purely with their proprietary drivers purely for ML and CAD work.

Everything else is completely unsupported, and if you’ve got an issue with that, you’ve got to complain to Nvidia, not open source projects.

You expect a single unpaid volunteer maintaining a wayland compositor alone to somehow be able to add support for nvidias badly documented custom format?
AI-powered image search that beats Google without using captions or keywords
That would be up to a specific OS to decide which guarantees on stack size limit would it like to provide. But I agree that it's a valid concern, and not all possible vDSO implementations are reasonable.
I’m sorry, it was not my intention to mislead anyone. Yes, it’s all trickery with copy-and-pasted Unicode bold characters.

REMOTE (US & Canada) - Hiring Full Stack Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, Chief Technology Officer for an $8 billion market opportunity

We are working with one of the largest property insurance carriers in the US to build the next generation of wind and hail damage assessment technology, and we’re hiring for Full Stack Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, and Chief Technology Officer.

Insurance companies in the US spend over $8B a year on loss claim adjustments, which is a highly manual process. We are building a web application that automates existing workflows with the help of Computer Vision and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones).

We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer to own our web application, a Machine Learning Engineer to own our computer vision pipelines, and a Chief Technology Officer to lead and grow the engineering team. Our current stack is TypeScript/Vue and Python/FastAPI.

You'll be joining a small team composed of successful entrepreneurs and alumni from top Bay Area companies.

We are currently in the seed stage and are planning to raise in Q2 2021. Initially you would be hired as a consultant for our Fortune 500 partner until we raise. Significant compensation is available in the form of both cash and equity.

Please send your resume to hello@nspectai.com with the subject line "Full Stack candidate", "Machine Learning candidate", or "CTO candidate", along with some links to recent examples of your work.
That is well put.

I saw a meme on WSB - photo of a main guy and quote 'What is an exit strategy?' u/deepfuckingvalue'

Ie the main guy behind the squeeze. He already took profit of $13M but somehow he is made into this hodl till 0 martyr?! WTF are those people on?

This really is starting to have all the halmarks of crypto bull rush with hypemen trying to get their exit as high as possible before it all starts to loose momentum and tumble off a cliff.

Its fun to watch though. A lot of fun. Plus more people are becoming aware of how rigged the whole financial system is, how its a boys club that will attack any outsider at sight.
Yeah, it's the only reason I've thought about upgrading my polaris card up newer.

In my case, I tried connecting both via thunderbolt on some skylake/coffeelake laptops and on power9. Neither Intel's TB3 controller nor power9 support the necessary extension.

Not really a big deal, but a nitpicky example of how "fragmentation" sometimes hurts.
Wayland folks generally, and ddevault in particular, have built the software they wanted to build, with the tradeoffs they wanted to make. That's good! Users don't have a right to demand they make different software, with different tradeoffs, that they didn't want to make, and definitely don't have the right to invective when they don't get their way.

However, proponents probably also shouldn't push 'no yes it does work for you' replies though, particularly on the Nvidia thing, since that statement has to be followed by 'if you make serious performance and capability tradeoffs that you may not want to make.'

This software disclaims support for this and that thing [1] - that's fine, just add those to your constraint set and see if you still want to use that software at the end of the day. If you don't, that's fine, either write some code to lift your constraints or move on, but don't be a dick about it.

[1]: maybe because the guys that build that thing are jerks, and aren't being good citizens. Which, sure, fine, but from a user perspective, this peg doesn't go in that hole.
I remember that gentoo site. At one point I installed gentoo precisely because there was a seemingly huge difference in Pentium 3 code vs i386 that every other distro seemed to be tuned for. Also cutting out bloat seemed to relieve ram pressure and load times. I ditched it when the very first ubuntu release came out and it just worked and felt as fast. I then questioned my wasted hours doing miserable computer work that I took no joy in. I think I was running amd by then (possibly 64-bit?)
