what about the x wayland support is causing you problems?

merthyr1831 ,

Ah gotcha!

merthyr1831 ,

did you really post this trying to make Israel out to be the god guy lmao

merthyr1831 ,

“bias check” website using Israeli sources to declare mondoweiss a hate group is fucking hilarious. immediately lost itself all credibility.

GTFOH

merthyr1831 ,

Maybe we can’t rely on organisations founded by and for white americans to properly report on the credibility of people who are being bombed by white Americans and their allies.

merthyr1831 ,

Israel doesnt have a right to defend itself, especially as an occupying army against Palestine.

merthyr1831 ,

I know this is being treated as a social engineering attack, but having unreadable binary blobs as part of your build/dev pipeline is fucking insane.

The US giving Israel a bunch of military equipment (including nearing the sale of 50(!) F-15s) a few days before what appears to be an intentional provocation of a regional enemy to the US is something a little bit too on the nose.

Even if it’s not the US helping these plans along, they certainly would love an opportunity for Israel to act as a proxy against the Iranian govt that they’ve been trying to justify war against for over a decade now.

My “you cannot sue me for anything illegal ive done” clause is making people ask a lot of questions about illegal things that ive done that are answered by my “you cannot zue me for anything illegal ive done” clause

U.S. signs off on more bombs, warplanes for Israel (www.washingtonpost.com)

The Biden administration in recent days quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington’s concerns about an anticipated military offensive in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians....

RISC-V plans to make ISA extensions that will enable it to work better in graphics applications. Look forward to truly open-source graphics

I inherited an Canon Pixma MG3600 from a friend who got a new printer of her own, and it’s been impressively stable for years now.

A really solid printing experience on Linux; I’d say “plug and play” but I’ve got it set up for wireless printing and it worked immediately without plugging in!

I’ve not tried the scanner on Linux but it worked on Mac out of the box without proprietary drivers so I can imagine the same for Linux.

even if they keep lifetime licenses for now, it’s blatantly obvious how Canva plans to use Embrace, Extend, Extinguish to move people to a subscription service for newer releases.

If adobe can do it with Photoshop et al. without losing its brand reputation, then Affinity will follow suit in due course.

merthyr1831 ,

at least with standalone software it’s going to work forever as long as the OS supports it. cant say the same for live service software that you can’t run at home

merthyr1831 ,

Beyond FOSS there’s not many, though Steam actually has a big catalogue of non-game software that’s standalone

merthyr1831 ,

as long as you can host the “SaaS” elements yourself (nextcloud, for example) there’s a lot more software than you’d initially think. There will always be a market for self-hosted options for cloud software imo: loads of businesses are reluctant to move their internal infrastructure to the cloud

merthyr1831 ,

I was more expecting Affinity to integrate and replace features with Canva until a subscription is all but required for basic functionality.

merthyr1831 ,

Yup, I dont think this is valve shitting on Wayland because they also believe in Wayland being the future, but until their protocol suggestions are merged upstream it does hurt the Linux gaming ecosystem (and therefore valve) if games outside of Gamescope have technical issues.

That being said, I’m not sure what games I play use SDL, let alone Wayland SDL, so can’t be sure what issues im affected by

merthyr1831 ,

Wayland is definitely on the side of not breaking userspace, though. The API design, xWayland compatibility layer, and recent focus on protocols to fix missing functionality from xorg are all designed to make Wayland a seamless transition.

Otherwise we’d have been using Wayland as the only option for years now.

Americans trying to remind us that China isnt the only country with a poorly regulated and unhygienic factory farming industry capable of producing a pandemic-causing pathogen

Biden knew Israel was bombing indiscriminately – WaPo (www.globalvillagespace.com)

On October 27, three weeks into Israel’s war with Hamas, Biden’s top foreign policy officials told a small group at the White House that “Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were legitimate military targets,” the newspaper wrote, citing three sources familiar with the meeting....

merthyr1831 ,

Biden has called for the bombing of women and children in the name of Israel so not too surprised he’s happy with that policy now

merthyr1831 ,

Netflix had a Docuseries called “Pandemic” in 2019 that showed how virologists and immunologists worked to locate the next pandemic, and most of them agreed that a new pandemic strain of an influenza-type virus was almost inevitable due to zoonotic transmission and factory farming. Almost poetic.

GNOME extensions aren’t themes, though. They’re executable by design and intuition; they’re basically applets.

However, GNOME does have themes (hidden in the GNOME-Tweaks app) and AFAIK they’re purely CSS.

KDE can’t get away with “user at risk” for a DE designed for general purpose users. That means users who aren’t technically minded or linux experts. Maybe hyprland and i3 can tell users to RTFM but an embedded store distributed with ALL KDE versions should have some sensible design decisions such as “maybe dont allow arbitrary JS execution as root within a feature people don’t expect to be doing more than changing the background pic and some fonts”

merthyr1831 ,

Stop allowing Jerusalem Post on this community. They are aligned to Israel and cannot be trusted any more than the daily wire.

merthyr1831 ,

Agreed. reported too.

‘Free speech is a facade’: how Gaza war has deepened divisions in German arts world (www.theguardian.com)

“We have a conversation about racism that is led by the global south and people of colour from Germany, which the German state is trying to brand as antisemitic,” Younes added. “And if we present our relationship to race, racism and European genocides from a non-European or non-white perspective, we get cancelled.”

Most of the artists and public figures censored and/or publicly denounced over their anti-zionism have been Jewish. You couldnt write this shit if you tried.

Biden was so supportive of Israel killing women and children during its first invasion of Lebanon the acting president had to tell him to chill the fuck out.

Biden is no different than trump on this, he’s just smart enough to hide his bloodthirst behind vague language of “international law” and “humanitarian pause” so his election bid isnt destroyed outright.

Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel?

I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it’s always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I’ve also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for...

merthyr1831 ,

Modern Ryzen are fine on Linux. Not sure where they’re declaring it happens for “all Ryzen” from.

merthyr1831 ,

This smells of reductionist “no ethical consumption under capitalism” ideology.

That just means living in capitalism doesn’t exempt you from criticising the system, not that you can’t and shouldn’t use the mechanism of capitalism to help make life difficult for fascists.

It might not “fix” the problems but it sure as hell is making Israel pay while our national governments do fuck all.

merthyr1831 ,

A few more years until RISC-V is at 1st-gen ryzen levels (though it looks like RISC-V is accelerating every day)

Jpost is a shitty source. the IDF openly admits it will no longer allow UN aid to reach the North.

Can we stop using them? The headline was written like this because Jpost still believes UNRWA is aligned to Hamas.

U.S. Doubles Down on Defunding UNRWA — Despite Flimsy Allegations (theintercept.com)

The U.S. government will defund the United Nations agency that aids Palestinians through next year — even as 1.1 million people in Gaza face threats of famine in coming months — on the basis of flimsy allegations by Israel against a tiny minority of the agency’s staff that have yet to be proven....

merthyr1831 ,

Yet countless people on reddit, lemmy, and the wider internet seem to think that Biden is the last humanitarian on earth who cares about the Palestinians and that Trump would be worse

If C++/C were real languages for real programming they’d enforce this in the compiler.

No sane language designer would say “it is imperative that you do not implement your class in its header file” then write a compiler designer to say “oh you implemented your code in the header file? lol lmao that rocks”

They have played you all for fools.

merthyr1831 ,

The western govts have been very clever with how they were able to co-opt the protest movements that naïvely called for “ceasefire” with no qualifiers whatsoever.

They’ll now say Hamas “didn’t agree” or whatever BS while hoping the kids starve quietly so no one has to suggest reparations or war crimes tribunals.

THOUSANDS are dead, a generation raised in abject humiliation and suffering, and Israel has solidified its grip on the region whilst learning that it can all but open gas chambers without pushback from its allies.

merthyr1831 ,

Ceasefire isnt enough. We cannot allow a country so hungry for blood to exist to the end of this decade.

merthyr1831 ,

Never happened like that. Normally a country simply stops existing because of some change in government or unification/splitting of a country.

But countries do rescind their recognition of others from time to time. Israel is also an example of this, where it has spent significant money getting neighbours to officially recognise it over Palestine.

merthyr1831 ,

the unruly userbase that largely rolled over and continued used reddit after its API changes with all but a meagre protest? Yeah im sure they’ll be fine.

merthyr1831 ,

They shouldnt. At least use some kind of super locked down API if you’re gonna let people use javascript of all things in your theming system god damn

1600Mhz GPU core, 4GB UMA buffer/cryobyte tweaks. 96% (minimum) render scaling. I can sorta eke out 45-60fps depending on the map.

Hamas offered release of hostages in return for a total end to hostilities and Israel declined. Don’t lay this shit on the resistance; Israel has the power to stop the killing any day they fancied it.

merthyr1831 ,

The only terrorists in this conflict are Israel, who have made it very clear that their goal was never to “defeat hamas” but to defeat the very existence of arab and palestinian people within the gaza strip. To argue anything else is genocide denial.

merthyr1831 ,

The projection here is wild. A nuclear armed nation bombing every last school, hospital, and business capable of sustaining human life isn’t a terrorist organisation in your eyes, but the Palestinian resistance is.

Your genocide apologism is showing ans history will jot absolve you, pig.
