That your experience is not shared suggests that the other "workflows" are not in fact objectively easier to deal with than the kernel workflow, but instead that there's a high variability in the frustration experienced acros

In my experience it's the opposite - the email patch usually gets dealt with within a week or two, Firefox and Chromium dragged out because it wasn't whatever Mozilla or Google prioritized right now. Or worse, it might go against

They might have to settle for it. The power of a government is not equal to what legislation they pass - they are heavily limited by the economic and publicity consequences of decisions. As such, any outcome where this is enforced will be a

Having contributed a few times, I'd rate it as similar (sometimes much easier!) than contributing to Firefox and Chromium. That is to say that it is indeed extremely time-consuming and frustrating, but when compared to projects of the

The provider may be on the hook of legal consequences from authorities *if" their customer is a business offering services in Germany. Nothing that would involve you as a third-party individual.

Your expectations of what you wanted from Hetzner has nothing to do with their professionalism. They most certainly acted with outmost professionalism given the situation you describe, and the behavior to be expected from any hosting prov

You're linking this everywhere, but it has absolutely zero relevance. Your beef is not with Hetzner, but whoever decided to run the service. Unless the customer violates local legislation or the hosting providers ToS, the appropriate a

This is like suggesting that running applications in a Windows VM and running them under WINE isn't a big difference. (One might say "but it's the same OS!" - but it's only really a similar kernel, and even that is

Waydroid runs Android services and applications natively on your machine in a container with apps launching in windows side-by-side with your other applications, whereas the Android emulator runs a VM with regular smartphone-esque hardware.

Sure, but there's also cellular issues in the Australian outback and most of Alaska, and there you don't have infrastructure. You need power as well as fiber.

In all seriousness, have you considered adding an outdoor access point? They reach quite far as you usually have Line of Sight. Trying to get a centrally placed indoor AP to penetrate inner and outer walls is guaranteed to give reception is

SNR is not a function of antenna size. The size is dictated by the wavelength, not how desperate you are to receive a signal. Directionality does make an antenna larger as it usually involves reflectors and directors, the size and placement

For remote areas that might still be tens to hundreds of kilometers of poles and fiber just to add coverage to one remote area. Then you move on to the next. No one wants to do that across all of Alaska or the Australian outback.

What you are showing is just a standard color pipeline, which is the bare minimum for color management. On AMD in particular, the cursor plane must match several aspects of any plane it overlaps with, including transform and color pipeline

Well, GPUs from the big players do give a damn as they tend to have surprisingly limited plane count and capabilities. It is often just a single primary, cursor and overlay plane, sometimes the latter is shared across all outputs, and somet

You'd be surprised by how much PR specifically targets a certain audience. Converting a zero-value IP into low impact positive PR has business value. Making MS-DOS sources public falls in the same bucket.

Wayland display servers will already be using what is commonly referred to as hardware cursors. They just use the atomic API to move a cursor or overlay plane, which reflect how the hardware handles things. That the legacy API exposed a spe

Is it a weakness of the web that HTTP is just a protocol specification? The "problem" with this in Wayland is that before people 'ran Xorg with GNOME on top", now they just run GNOME the same way they run Chrome or Firef

This would have to be done by the kernel driver for you GPU. I kind of doubt that it's possible (you're not really scanning out lines anymore with things like Display Stream Compression, partial panel self refresh and weird buffer

It's not an "argument", it's just a description of what Wayland is. But no, the correct protocol has had copy-paste since day one, and I dont remember there being issues with screensavers. In the metaphor of a web server

This is not what Wayland does, it is what a particular display server with Wayland support decided to do. Second, just to be clear, this only discusses mouse cursors on the desktop - not the content of windows, and in particular not games

by arghwhat 2y ago
Display devices (usually part of your GPU) still have "explicit display hardware just for the mouse" in form of cursor planes. Later this has been generalized as overlay planes. Planes can be updated and repositioned without redra

Of course you can, just specify a container image of your choice and run the same container for testing locally. However, replicating environmental details is only relevant where the details are known to matter. A lot of effort has been was

Azure DevOps specifically has a very broken approach to YAML pipelines, because they effectively took their old graphical pipeline builder and just made a YAML representation of it. The trick to working with this is that you don't ne
