Honestly surprised Opera and Mozilla don't strike again together

It's likely that their bonuses are based on share price and the layoffs pumped them.

Same for every company following their playbook, including mine.

As opposed to the myriad of harmful substances that are legal?

I am very happy with the 8bitdo Pro 2 and the Gulikit King Kong 2 The dpad is a similar diameter but feels more rigid.

For the 8bitdo: The 4 buttons are spaced a bit further, and the buttons have a more prominent corner on them. All of the buttons have a satisfying action and travel. I like that the battery is easily removed.

Only wishlist item would be for hall joysticks.

The Gulikit King Kong 2:

Feels like a very high quality Xbox styled controller. I am wary of the shoulder buttons of Xbox styled controllers but these do feel like a different type of switch internally so maybe it'll last longer.

No, redshift is an xorg application. It likely will become obsolete.

Night mode is in the compositor now.

It didn't at the time on Nvidia specifically. It has since been resolved.

Night mode works great on all three now, Intel, Nvidia, and AMD.

Pretty much everything works on Wayland in general at this point.

He's wrong all of this works on Wayland.

I used a 3080 on Wayland and the only thing that didn't work was night light (red tint mode). At this time nvidia-open was marked as not viable for desktop. In 6.7 noveau has gsp support so the open source path has improved rapidly.

It was shortly after their hack that they announced partnership with RedHat / Canonical devs to make their graphics driver better. It's going to have a similar arch to how the AMD drive is under the name nvidia-open. However the proprietary driver does work on Wayland at this point in time.

I cancelled Amazon prime a few years ago. Amazon was never able to honor the next day or even two day shipping so I cancelled.

Technically, for me, there was no change in shipping speed for me cancelling prime

The normal Google TV launcher

Funny you brought up make files.

We've been churning though Java technical debt for the past year and a huge pain point is that a lot of configuration gets lost within intelliJ.

Most of this is env vars and jvm args. These could be wonderfully documented using an .env.example and a well written makefile.

As a middle career technology professional just before reading this comment and thread I had the thought:

"Make files really are the only correct way to distribute software".

Even with OCIs and soon Wasm Components, a makefile can still cover the constant changes in development trends. They can also wire together bash scripts used for tasks and maintenance. Bash and make really are some of the best swiss army knives we have.

Disagree. Google has constantly been working behind the scenes to bring the Android kernel to mainline so that phones can get updated longer.

They designed the vendor module system and GSIs to cater to Qualcomm and the like which were the lowest common denominator.

The Chromebooks while locked down have been modder friendly as well.

It's hit or miss depending on the dept but Google as whole has always seemed to prefer openness which is a part of RtR.

Is flauncher an oss clone of the normal Google TV launcher?

Theu feel so slow and janky compared to Google TV though

I've been a proponent for UBI for a long time however after reading your comments I agree with you.

In reality, I've advocated for UBI because I feel the govt should provide these basic services. However in reality UBI does just seem like a means to an end.

We really should just redefine what "utilities" are (including internet, phone, public transit tickets, etc) and then provide basic access to utilities for free.

State Sen. Paul Bettencourt sent a letter to the state's attorney general asking him to declare a new program in Houston as unconstitutional.

Of course they call it unconstitutional. It actually helps people and the constitution says nothing about helping people. /s

Donate to anti oil efforts.

It's not my favorite option. But at least use Discourse.

Bypass is maybe a poor choice of words. Both gamescope and Kwin are compositors so you can use one or the other.

An advantage of making gamescope is that they can add features like VRR or HDR without having to wayiting for KWin to implement it

I don't think in any way that would lose an advantage over gnome.

Having a Steam Deck, the only integration I see is the "Return to Steam" shortcut and a change to the logo.

When you run the Steam Deck gaming mode it bypasses KDE entirely and uses its own game scope compositor.

If Twitter succeeds in becoming a super app. Wouldn't they then become a "platform" in EU terms? Thus requiring them to interoperate?
