It's a matter of funding. X11 development is not funded anymore whereas Wayland is heavily funded through proxies like Collabora or Igalia. It is unclear who are the originators of that money since those proxy orgs don't disclose

Most of the time will be spend on undocumented corner cases of third party hardware and dealing with various race conditions. Even though the PCIe protocol is reasonably simple the devices attached to it are not. Since this feature is only

The equivalent to flushing your register state is more comparable to a context switch than a complete shut down. Also Thanks to PCIe CPU swapping could be done in pure software at the OS level. No further hardware changes required. Simply c

If you have switched PCIe anyways I would have loved a Mac Pro with a "passive" switched PCIe backplane where you can hotplug PCIe devices in including M2 CPU PCIe cards. Also polish the OS accordingly that you can upgrade/sw

"divide et impera" is not exactly a new concept. Maybe you should brush up your greek philosophy.

Obviously not. Thanks to "plurality" people are occupied with fighting each other instead for themselves against rulers that repeatedly act against their interests.

Occupying forces are in control of the state media obviously. But since their influence on people blow 70 years of age is going to zero fast more migrants are needed. And having experienced mass migration first hand I can assure you: more i

Indeed. The social cohesion in Germany was bad to begin with. This is what happens when you are occupied territory for more than 70 years. But mass immigration destroys the last glimmer of hope for self governance.

by sprash 3y ago
You won't and that is the point. A population without social cohesion is easily governed.

Yes, the result is obvious. As soon as you introduce feminism birthrates are tanking. This can be observed observed across the globe. Couple this with the establishment of contraceptives and acceptance of abortion you get a recipe for annih

As far as I understand it WebGPU is just a thin translation layer to binary SPIR-V with fake Rust syntax. Is it really faster than GLSL? The lack of important language features like function overloading or clear client side code separation

The target audience for RHEL desktop/workstation use is government employees. Those people are not supposed to use the computer beyond a narrow scope of tasks. Creativity, self-responsibility, individuality and out-of-the-box thinking

Xlib is actually somewhat easier to use than xcb. Xcb however has better support for asynchronous operation. In case of xterm this wouldn't help latency much but would greatly improve throughput.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but the RTC lags about a minute every three days. At least for my device a regular ntp sync is therefore absolutely required.

I have one of those. It takes a lot of work writing embedded C code to make it do what you want. In my case it was displaying a calendar and the moonphase. The default software is very bare bones. Battery life is 1.5 weeks for me when usi

Sadly bigger projects like GIMP or Inkscape didn't learn their lesson. Since version 3.0 GTK serves only GNOME and their particular demands for their severely limited desktop environment. The correct action would be to go back to GTK 2

CADT would imply this kind of sabotage is not happening on purpose. There are certain parties that have keen interest in a severely dysfunctional FOSS desktop. It's more like GSAW (GNOME Saboteurs At Work).

Who funds this? I would pay for porting back to GTK2.

by sprash 3y ago
This is of course a lie. They declare widely used APIs as "internal interface" and break backwards compatibility on a regular basis even on sub minor version updates.

Fog of war. You can't know what is happening. The only numbers I believe is the additional cost in $ and € the western taxpayer is burdened with. Because that is guaranteed.

These questions are irrelevant. The tactical significance of Finland to Russia is small compared to the resources required to invade it as is. Due to bad cost/benefit ratio it is therefore unlikely for Russia to attack Finland. But now

So who is the target audience of GNOME then? Does it even have users? The EEE practices of Microsoft were a conspiracy theory as well until everything about it got confirmed as true in the Halloween Documents.

This also seems like misrepresentation of the entire file picker saga. First of all, it is absolutely laughable that something as essential as a thumbnail file picker is missing for that long, literally decades. Several patches have been su

It doesn't matter if it is "opt-in". The problem starts with "built-in". KDE and Qt is very huge and highly complex software. Telemetry can be enabled or disabled without my knowledge, one update away. The same is t

Since KDE is shipped with build in telemetry now I can't recommend it to anyone. Opt-in or not, I've seen this game played before and it never ends well.

The biggest problem with GUIs is that there is no reliable standard that works everywhere. The VT100 standard is 45 years old and will most likely work for the next 45 years. It is dead simple to implement GUIs (just write to stdout) and al
