And also doing it for multiple monitors with differing scales. Nobody claims X11 doesn't support different DPIs. The problems occur when you have monitors with differing pixel densities. At the moment only Windows handles that use case

Nothing surprising there. The US-led social media finally achived its biggest success. It made weaponized ignorance viable at an enormous scale. Not just in the US but all over the world. The fight now is anybody with some critical thought

16-bit 44 Khz almost perfectly reproduces human hearing. It wasn't a coincidence that the makers of CDs chose it. Anything above is studio-grade stuff to give extra headroom for editing (applying filters in studio editing can amplify n

You can use its own syntax for Word equation editor. They have even added Latex syntax support now. When was the last time you used Word. Latex support in equation editor has been there for ~5 years.

I think the failure wasn't Wayland itself but the failure of building another layer on top of it that unified desktop use case. Wayland could have stayed as the protocol to allocate buffer on the screen and passing events to them. Wayl

It is not as open. Try building the desktop editors yourself. Some parts of the build system are not documented / not included in the repo. Moreover it is a rebranding of Russian P7 Office. The company didn't cut ties with Russia

Why do you think Zuck became a wannabe fascho out of nowhere? DMA and GDPR fines will hurt Meta a lot when they are due. Zuck is trying to leverage Trump and the war to nullify the fines.

Are you comparing against the default vendor image that's filled with adware or a clean Windows install with only drivers? There is a significant power use difference and the latter case has always been more power efficient for me comp

Using the Linux filesystem has almost no performance penalty under WSL2 since it is a VM. Docker Desktop automatically mounts the correct filesystem. Crossing the OS boundary for Windows files has some overhead of course but that's not

Was it ahead? I am not sure. There was lots of research on microkernels at the time and NT was a good compromise between a mono and a microkernel. It was an engineering product of its age. A considerably good one. It is still the best popul

I'm indicating that "it isn't easy to answer" is the root of problem there. It means that the engineering teams were incompetent in designing a system with a "narrow waist" security infrastructure. Then the sol

While your argument seems to make sense on the surface, it fails in deeper inspection. What security implications did Google Reader have? I do understand keeping older APIs and endpoints for authentication and authorization are indeed dange

Flash was a bigger privacy hole than HTML5 canvas. I think we need to mandate browsers that block those APIs on default and only enable them via permission. <canvas> is often used in fingerprinting. So blocking its introspection APIs

I agree. Some libertarian economists noticed that endless growth demands slavery-like conditions and the economic collapse one way or another. They are trying to back away without using the s-word and invent half-baked solutions like UBI. U

You don't use 3D printing to do large-scale production. If you agree that AI should only be used in prototype code and nothing else, then your argument makes sense.

I still think smartphones are a huge negative to humanity. They improve a narrow case: having access to ephemeral knowledge. Nobody writes articles or does deep knowledge work with smartphones. My position with the AI is almost the same. It

Arch/pacman will tell you config changes. There is even an utility called pacdiff to review all of them at once. It will not restart service files since it is a more hands-on distro. Since Arch is a quick rolling-release distro, it is
