Spotify is in a weird spot where we have an absolutely fantastic open-source implementation of its client api in Librespot, but exactly 0 upstream support for that api...

I use aerc at work, and occasionally annoy my coworkers by asking them to send me an email that is readable in a terminal.

You'll be happy and/or sad to learn that basically the entire UX has been rewritten - the rewrite is live in the beta/daily branch. I've found it to be somewhat crash prone, for now, but the overall look and feel is a hu

Nyxt is designed to be engine agnostic, which means it had a defined api you could plug any engine into, even one you theoretically write yourself. Obviously this is impractical, but I’ve seen criticisms that emacs doesn’t have that exact a

What’s better in Nyxt than other browsers is you have a whole lisp runtime which is directly connected to the browser engine. Nyxt is trying to be the Emacs of web browsers; all the theoretical and practical benefits of that model apply.

They also plan on adding Gecko support eventually.

"You need to use psychology (etc) to understand human behavior because there is no complete understanding of physics or biology" to accomplish that goal is exactly one of those tautological claims I was referring to earlier. Why i

KDE on Wayland does not even launch when my e-gpu is plugged in, so, with that in mind, I guess I'll be sticking with X11 for the foreseeable future.

As an Emacs user, the tree-sitter-based Elixir and HEEx modes are vastly superior to the built-in HTML+ and Elixir modes.

Count me in the list of dev teams where that is not remotely true. I use exactly 0 microsoft projects at my software engineering job.

It seems to me like any attempt to refute that such a description is possible would rely on arguments surrounding the so-called "hard problem of consciousness". These arguments are nearly always tautological, and also nearly alway

Hmm, how does that work if you move clients around between displays?

> RHEL deprecated and removed btrfs support Wait, what?? Is that true?
76.
by slondr 3y ago
"Finished" is likely a better term than "deprecated." There is obviously a gulf between setting a Wayland compositor as the default DE/WM and actually removing X.org from your distro's package repository.

Correct, I don't like changes that break my workflows or (at times) my entire system. I don't believe I, and the many users who share my preference, deserve insults for that.

I'm a big Barrier user, which has no Wayland equivalent. I also frequently make use of X tunelling over SSH, which had no Wayland equivalent the last time I checked, although it has been a year or so since the last time I looked into i

I'm glad that it works well for you. Many of us have the opposite experience, though, which is why having choice is important.

I believe XWayland is not X.org, although I could be wrong about that.

It really is a shame that the community's last, best hope against a Red Hat monopoly is Ubuntu . Fortunately in the desktop space there's little reason to care what the big names are doing. There will likely always be a distro ou

It seems like they’re in the process of rewriting it into C? That seems like it would defeat what I found to be the most compelling aspect of Stump, but I’ll likely try it out to see for myself.

One of the major Linux distributions deprecating the standard Unix windowing stack with no compelling replacement is surprising more or less on its own merits.

Will this affect Fedora or other red hat universe distros?

by slondr 3y ago
There’s more than just KDE and Gnome out there, you know. There’s dozens of WMs that have no Wayland equivalent, and at this point seems like they never will. I use Xmonad at work. I doubt we’ll ever see a Wayland port of StumpWM.

Do XWayland programs still scale incorrectly when using dpi scaling in wayland? This thwarted my last serious attempt to switch to sway.

It’s still missing plenty of features that X has, so no I wouldn’t say that it’s ready.

After seeing the headline, I decided to try out KDE on Wayland (KDE on X is my daily driver at home). It locked my tty, displaying nothing to my screens, and I had to hard reset my machine. I guess Wayland doesn't support egpus? Either

Genuine question: if performance is a primary concern, why not choose Elixir?
