Yeah, looks like they developed separately from Compose combos.
182.
by shmerl 10mo ago
Interesting. Kind of reinventing Compose key combos. I wonder why they didn't just reuse Compose ones from FreeBSD.
183.
by shmerl 10mo ago
I see. What other combos does it support?
184.
by shmerl 10mo ago
Yeah, for sure, but without easy way to access it from the keyboard, most don't bother wasting time inserting it. Smart tools like LibreOffice and above indeed help with it, but in other scenarios, especially common browser usage that&

It's easy to use on Linux with Compose key: Compose + --- produces — See all other combos in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose But who is using it without it in common scenarios?

With current situation in Intel (lot's of Linux developers leaving), I'd stick to AMD anyway.

by shmerl 10mo ago
Why would they need an NDA then if they would be OK with open source implementation? It's good if that's possible, it just doesn't make sense.
188.
by shmerl 10mo ago
Thanks for the pointer!
189.
by shmerl 10mo ago
If they require an NDA, they'll probably refuse to provide it for the purpose of Linux drivers? Unless it's just some dumb formality. I can try Linux Foundation.

> The answer was as unhelpful as possible Looking at the answer, I wouldn't call it unhelpful. They were planning to release a source for the library that would essentially implement all the needed data interfaces? That's mor

Never used MacBooks, but Lenovo Thinkpad laptops with Linux are really good in my experience. Get anything recent with AMD.

So this can be an interesting option for XWayland?

Which is better than this mess with Lua situation.
194.
by shmerl 10mo ago
I don't see a reason not to update LuaJIT still. Changes in Lua aren't just version numbers, it should be improving something, meaning that would be missing in LuaJIT.

Can't find scxctl in Debian. Was it never packaged?

Language fork is unfortunate. Python situation isn't much of a fork really. Python 2 is basically EOL.
197.
by shmerl 10mo ago
OK, then I got some wrong info. If it's stuck at it deliberately, then it's worse. May be someone should fork it and bring it up to date with recent Lua versions. Why is this split needed?
198.
by shmerl 10mo ago
Yeah, I wish someone would pick up LuaJIT development. From what I've heard it in practice isn't developed anymore and is stuck at Lua 5.1 still.

image magick's convert would work.

Of course they'll classify the actual reason - government corruption.

I use reportbug to simplify the process of initial reporting, but whole interaction is still far from convenient. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/reportbug

by shmerl 10mo ago
It's just annoyingly clunky to use any time I need to interact with it, versus modern bug trackers like GitLab's and etc. Also, locally patching reportbug to support XDG base directory spec is a chore (since maintainers didn'

by shmerl 10mo ago
I wish Debian would also transition to a modern bug tracker. Current one is very archaic.

AV1 should work between OBS and Kdenlive.

What I want to see instead of all this AI nonsense is replacing Gecko with Servo and implementing Vulkan rendering.

People play such games today too.
208.
by shmerl 10mo ago
No, thanks. I'm a gamer but I don't need a console like UX as the only option.

Nokia was so cool, before Android only SoCs swamped everything and it became impossible to run normal upstream Linux stack on phones because no one provides open drivers for a whole bunch of stuff.

It'd still call it DOA if Apple are the only ones keeping it around. No one else is and no one else really cares. Also I think they have an ulterior motive - they are part of those who profit from patents on it. So they likely want to
