An FPGA seems like a lot of effort, but an SNES emulator running on a Raspberry Pi seems like it may have been a better option IMO.

Twitter, available at x.com, the domain previously used for Musk’s now-defunct online bank, …

So many reasons.

Just one of these is the people who seem to think making the insignificant gesture of voting third-party as a “fuck you” to the Dems is a good idea, when all it does is increase the chance of Republicans winning.

This goes for the presidential race and for most tight senate/house races, too. The ballot box isn’t where a coalition starts. A coalition starts by providing candidates who are actually likely to win.

Wayland was entirely unusable and mired in politics. (Still is mired in politics tbh.) So Canonical took the things they wanted, added things they needed to get it working, and called it Mir.

When Wayland finally became functional, they also made mir a Wayland compositor.

Some of the Wayland Frog protocols stuff is stuff that originated with Canonical trying to make Wayland usable before they took their ball and went home because the giants of the industry didn’t want to talk to a company of under 1000 people.

Much more appealing to me is running Android apps on Linux officially. I don’t want to use Android as my main system, but I sure as heck would love to have one or two Android apps available on my Linux Machines.

It’s not a perfect comparison, but if we go by the Steam Hardware Survey, the first item I can find on the list that’s not supported with the latest beta drivers is the GT 730, at 0.21% of users. And it’s from June 2014.

Its passmark score is 835, which is lower than the 9 year old Intel HD 520 (867). I somehow doubt though that driver support for Vulkan/Wayland will be the major blocker.

Don’t their current beta drivers support like… 10 year old products?

I have a lot of complaints about Nvidia (which is one of the reasons I moved away from their cards), but longevity of support hasn’t really been one of them.

In my job as a software developer I’m mostly gluing libraries together.

In my hobby developing software I’m writing the libraries people glue together!

I use kolourpaint to make memes

Yeah I’m not sure this is a good precedent unless it’s attached to “only because of your monopoly position.” Like… Does that mean every app store needs to give a way for every other app store to use their selection? That’s not how it works in any other industry (I can’t buy Aldi brand cereal at Meijer).

Yeah, Epic are being pretty hypocritical, but hopefully this will result in some positive changes. I’m just shocked at how much judges are taking Apple’s side in those lawsuits.

Yeah, I had this sort of experience back with LastPass, but Bitwarden works beautifully for me.

There’s a potentially valid criticism if that occurs because iOS’s mechanism is robust to poorly implemented password managers and Android’s isn’t, but that’s also not the criticism being provided here.

Because automobile regulation in the US is an absolute joke.

So you know the built-in keyboard shortcut on Windows that opens LinkedIn? (IIRC it’s Ctrl+Alt+Win+Shift+L)

That’s because Microsoft sold keyboards for a while with “Office keys,” so you could hit Office+W for Word, Office+X for Excel, etc. All that key would do is send all those modifiers. There are plenty of unused modifier key codes they could use instead, but they did this.

I’m guessing this key works the same.

All I care to know is what code it sends to the machine so I can submit a merge to Plasma to default that key to opening krunner.

In 2016 a glass bottle found buried in the threshold of a man’s house was featured in an episode of Antiques Roadshow filmed in Trelissick, Cornwall; glass specialist Andy McConnell tasted a small amount of the contents theorising it was possibly port or wine though he did note the rusty flavour and the presence of nails, a later episode in 2019 then revealed the contents had been analysed by Loughborough University that identified it actually contained “urine, a tiny bit of alcohol, and one human hair” alongside some brass pins dating from the late 1840s and an ostracod. It was theorised to be a witch bottle.[4][5]

Love it!

Israel has a similar population and GDP to Michigan (and a similar land area to New Hampshire).

Despite being a swing state, Michigan has nowhere near as much influence over US national policy.

Condescension was such a weird way to respond to my comment in the first place, and I’m sorry I fell for it and responded in the same vein. I should instead have taken the opportunity to point out that in addition to Kipling mentioning pawpaw in the novel, it’s quite possible that Terry Gilkyson had never heard of the American pawpaw either and that the fruit shown in the cartoon movie more closely resembles a papaya than an American pawpaw.

I’m well aware. Are you aware that the Kipling novel specifically mentions pawpaw too?

The pawpaw in the Jungle Book is what’s known in the US as papaya. It’s been cultivated in India since at least the 18th century. Likewise prickly pears have been brought all over the world. By the time Kipling wrote The Jungle Book, both fruits were well established in India, just as many old world fruits have made it to the Americas.
