I'm still on facebook and a lot of my friends still are, the main problem we have with facebook events it that almost no one sees them.
This section has been over loaded with suggestions to event you might have no links with of things your remote friends are going to take part of.
I have no clew how come the difference on what's usually said on this forum and the situation in Europe.My only understanding is that the US as whole is more sunny that gives a better ratio solar panel and produced electricity.
Maybe also it's a provider thing ? From country to country, you can always have things that seem randomly more expensive. Germany is more renewable but more expensive than France, is it because of their national company is benefiting citizen properly or is it because the remaining gas part drives up the cost ?
It's a weird turn of event that OS X stayed a much more classic os than what Windows 8 was becoming. I remember that for a long time OS X was wasting less screen estate than Windows 8 and all that mix that was Windows 10.
But since Big Sure it means that it got even worse than what It was with the first version of OS X.
I remember how crazy it was it setup a mac emulator, set it's resolution to my mac's resolution, full screen mode, and see how much space you could have with classic Mac OS, it's just crazy and everything remains legible.
Suddenly the windows desktop metaphor makes more sense because you can actually have many windows next to each other.
OS X has almost always tried to diverge from than, that lead to great things like exposé, spaces and then mission control but it looks like they never considered to reduce elements size.
Thanks for the tip, I’ve already used KDE connect even for iOS-Windows communication, it’s just great.
I think people resort back to X11 because it’s only think that worked for a broad sets of features.Sure we can have Wayland making progress but it seems there’s little resource targeted it, not even implementation but even standardizing some things and we’re 15 years past. Linux kernel itself was already at infamous 2.6 version by then.
Sure proprietary desktops have kind of shown the way. One side, it’s good to have standards clear/clean enough that it can be easily implemented, on the other side, it can just be especially resource taking to redevelop things that are the core difference of the desktop environnement you might be developing.
I can wonder and worry, if we would have and will still ever see something like compiz fusion, the diagonal screen tick seen this year or anything else.
Design standards api, inter app communication and make it customizable is no way easy and I feel like Wayland has absolutely not find how to articulate all of those things.
And here we are, those are my two cents and my experience.
I have used Linux for years, I liked the idea of defending something free and open.I absolutely love KDE and its personalization ability, it’s just exactly what I want.
Yet, I’m back on Windows, I like well defined screen, I have a 4K another one of lower resolution, to handle that well, I need Wayland, heck KDE just sometimes has less features or less solved bug on X11 now.
And at night I just want to watch one or two things before sleeping, I just need to turn my screen to my bed, and choose one the suggestions of plateforms like YouTube or Netflix with my mouse.
…Yet, sometimes I like to type something, it’s usually short so I just use and on screen keyboard program which I’ve still wait to find one that works for Wayland.
This is so dum, it’s crazy to me that we used to fly away from all the dysfunctions of Windows to go the sane Linux ecosystem to only find that is starting to look a bit absurd on that side too. And we look at the discourse of Wayland devs, they speak exactly like corporate would do.
So that and few package management breakage and I think this is also a weak point of the ecosystem, tends to break, to upgrade everything when you only need one thing, too complex too trouble shoot.We usually think we have superior technological paleform on with Linux kernel, but package management is one of the weak point IMO.
All of that pushed me outside of Linux for now.When I encounter something that looks infuriating on Windows, I just think I might see something like this on Linux.
>>> Snap and Flatpacks are solving problems that don't need solving for most people. Shitty sandboxing that doesn't even work and makes my app slower? I don't want it.
To me that also raises the issue of Snap/Flatpacks and Wayland both handling part of sandboxing/capabilities.
Ultimately if you want to handle how your apps can be run and got resort back to lower primitive and you’re handling very different things like files acces(Snap/Flatpacks) and visual elements(Wayland) and maybe got back to the Linux kernel to handle that.
As I'm looking at the vision pro and try to envision what I could with it, when I think of developing a new app for it, those kind of extreme hostilities come to my mind now.
It just shows they don't care, they are releasing a whole new platform right now and at the same time show one of the most abusing attitude to developer I think we have rarely seen.
Apple app store condition were already overreaching but this time they really went the extra length with every single of their DMA adaptations.
Yes, technically nothing prevents someone to make a customizable Wayland compositor.
You’re taking about KDE and I agree that it is certainly one of the most customizable Wayland desktops we have.
What I deplore is that those customization have not made their way into at least an extension of Wayland.
And as you say, hopefully I can still use X11 when needed but I wish the more modern option would carry everything I need.
I feel like the debate between Wayland and X always bring more a general discussion about technology refactoring and modularity.
To me be, the big question is not why freedesktop.org or redhat is doing all of this, they're a company and they have their needs.
It is why distro maintainers have chosen to adopt those technologies(systemd,Wayland, others?), not that those options are especially bad but to me,but they really look like a clear bifurcation from the modularity and customization we used to see on the distro world.
I remember the mid 2000 and early 2010, when computing was still cultivating this cool image from the animations of Mac os Leopard and the aero style of Vista and the leader above all in the form compiz crowning Linux from far.
In the talks around Wayland vs X, the maneer Wayland proponent(not only its developer and also any linux user) dismisses critics of missing feature because 15 years later they're still not standardized or lack of composabilty between windowing and compositing is a stark contrast with the way we used to talk about free and open source software at the turn of the millennium.
We used to defend customizability and a certain form of freedom.
Sure X11 lack security and should be replaced by something that works better.
The Wayland shortcoming are defended in the name of security is some kind PR speak I wouldn't think I'd see in the linux world years ago.
It comes as particularly bitter as other closed platform from wich we used to hear a lot corporate speak still allow apps to do more things with their own windows that Wayland does.
The fact that the same organization hosts flatpack but has not vision of how to use the capability model for Wayland really poses questions on the vision.
All in all, I wonder if things would have went more smoothly and in greater general agreement if those 15 years+ were spend make Linux work like plan 9.
The french are very pro EU, maybe more so than the rest of the continent. The french pay attention to strategic things and that's why they project their will into the EU hoping the bigger demography will help keep fighting against the super powers.
Yet they totally fail to realize that the rest of the continent doesn't always think like them. That some countries will never accept a majority vote, that some others just take the EU for it currently is: an economic free exchange zone with democratic requirement.
Still today, for a french commoner, the solution the contradictions of EU, in social, economic or strategic matters is always more europe and be damn if you don't.
This makes me really curious, doesn’t Github codespaces uses VScode under the hood ?
I had tested a web version of VScode through code-server self hosted.
It is not totally usable for me, there’s too much issue with text selection and scrolling, it works okay for a moment and in other it was barely usable.
I wonder if you have met similar issues or if you succeeded to overcome those.
You can import the Fragment component of the React package or stack them directly, it works too.
Normally, the empty bracket syntax should work, they have a few issues closed and open that talk about it in their repo.
They are many libraries that use tagged template string to allow this, the most interesting to my eyes is the one made by preact dev. It's just named htm [0], it's made by preact but it can totally be used with react.
The most interesting thing of this one is that uses no custom syntax for js variable, so @attribute something when you must pass an object as props.
About NixOS, there's something really basic that I cannot seem to grasp.
I had already installed many linux distro's with time, after the years I was really found on KDE and ZFS.
I've stumbled upon this tutorial with great interests and yet I can't start to see what is the expected install workflow.
Are you expected to write your nix config file booting on the live medium, how could you easily transfer this config file to your install medium.
As much as I understand that targeting the right ZFS dataset and so should not be included in box and I was still happy to find some mention of it in the official doc.
I don't understand this mix of an all seeing doc, spanning across many technologies and configurations set and yet what I could call the context is rather absent.
The thing is that this article is written more like a little note like "don't forget this is that and that other thing works like this" and less like a full news article with an introductory segment.
I’m not sure what the extend of the delay really is, maybe in the 90s it could be felt but since the 2000’s, it seems like France’s internet is always pretty fast and cheap and available across the country.
