Google only checked out and cashed in after getting a monopoly. Mozilla let themselves fade into irrelevance.

Nice

Yes and no. It would solve some problems, but because it has no (non-hacky) graphics acceleration, most DEs wouldn’t use it anyway. The biggest benefit would be from not having to use a DE in some circumstances where it’s currently required.

“I don’t want to learn/use the CLI” is equivalent to saying “I only want to use features that have a GUI”, which you can already do on any operating system (including Linux).

Actually it’s a low budget western movie starring Alec Baldwin that resulted in the tragic killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins due to inadequate safety practices on set.

Each monitor should have its own framebuffer device rather than only one app controlling all monitors at any time and needing each app to implement its own multi-monitor support. I know fbdev is an inefficient, un-accelerated wrapper of the DRI, but it’s so easy to use!

Want to draw something on a particular monitor? Write to its framebuffer file. Want to run multiple apps on multiple screens without needing your DE to launch everything? Give each app write access to a single fbdev. Want multi-seat support without needing multiple GPUs? Same thing.

Right now, each GPU only gets 1 fbdev and it has the resolution of the smallest monitor plugged into that GPU. Its contents are then mirrored to every monitor, even though they all have their own framebuffers on a hardware level.

I just use cntrl-z and then kill %1

You can make commits on your system without pushing them to the remote server, and that’s the default behavior.

Nope

These days I go 50/50 on Reddit and Lemmy. I know it’s a chicken and egg problem for content, but hopefully 50% usage is enough to change things over time.

Haven’t you heard? It’s the year of the Linux desktop.

We’re not assuming, we’re speculating.

Only half?

If it’s a choice between AI-accelerated cores and nothing, sure, but that silicon space could have been used for AVX-512 or a bigger cache instead.

She’s Linux-adjacent :P

Freya Holmér is great.

Are trans women ok?

I don’t care how far behind they are with AI because I don’t want AI on my phone anyway.

I hope Apple releases some open source AI tooling to re-gain good will. Would love to see some more competition in the AI space.

That’s literally never going to happen. Closed-source proprietary stuff is their MO.

If Siri is enabled, then the default behavior of long-pressing the power button brings up Siri instead of turning off the device. IIRC you can disable that behavior without having to disable Siri, but there’s no way to set the “action button” to open Siri; if you want a Siri button, it needs to be the power button.
