If you have been there and know that the Sikkimese are comfortable with being part of India, that's good! I am only resistant to the idea that "referendums = popularity".

With xrandr the applications still need to figure out what scale they should draw on.

Some of the problems are indeed due to the sheer difficulty to implement proper high DPI/mixed DPI support, but some mentioned in the GP are definitely inflicted by the X11 protocol: >Spanning two monitors results in terrible scalin

A bit disingenuous to quote an outdated fact. Wayland has supported "proper" DPI (i.e. one without downscaling) for quite a while now, and it's been widely implemented across the ecosystem (on the server side: KDE, GNOME, wlr

Sometimes you don't have to access those 32TB data in raw. You often need only the processed data, which can be magnitudes smaller. Your local machine holds and processes the raw data, while your VPS forwards the much smaller processed

Anecdotal experience (I know, of course... this is sample size n=1) tells me that you can't be further from the truth. Putting CF aside, anyone who has tried to edit Wikipedia anonymously should understand the pain of CGNAT.

A VPS that relays traffic and a VPS that runs services are very different.

Not just RISC-V, when it comes to performance the Loongson CPUs (with the LoongArch ISA) are likely the most competitive -- the IPC of Loongson 3A6000 is around that of 10th ~ 12th gen Intel CPUs! And 3A7000 is coming soon. Zhaoxin is China

You already said the word "default". One can simply adjust the rotation time to 600 seconds or even shorter. The control is in _your_ hands. Unlike CGNAT, where the NAT owner is the one making decisions.

Your BodyFactory example isn't even functionally the same as the quoted code snippet. Nowhere is the Body::fixed(rendered) equivalent seen, for example.

My company would only ask for IPv6 if a software doesn't support IPv6 though.

No he didn't. Java is quite possibly the only mainstream language that provides a GUI toolkit in its standard library. It's an exception, not the rule. Even Python, well known for its batteries-included std, do not provide this

That only tells us X11 has a first-mover advantage. Wayland supports screencasting too.
