Not just license. You also need to link to it as a shared library and allow users to replace it with their own build of the library. Meaning you can’t use stuff like DRM and anticheats.

Sure, it’s hard to craft a perfect solution. However the status quo for a long time was that applications were doing it themselves. And Wayland took it away without providing a replacement.

I had been led to believe that one of Wayland’s strength was solving the correct window coordinates save-and-restore problem. Does someone know what happened here?

It’s literally the opposite. Windows aren’t allowed to position themselves on Wayland (because it’s unsafe or something). Window state save restoration must implemented by the compositor itself. Not sure about GNOME, but KDE doesn’t have that.

Dial the Gate. Series of interviews with people involved in making of Stargate TV show (not just actors bit people at every level). It’s over 200 episodes now.

Well GTK does not have theming anymore, though it still needs some way to configure fonts and icon theme.

Nah, this is patented by Sony.

Does it really matter? It’s the usual corporate intrigues/power struggle/backstabbing/whatever. Just for some reason leaked into public view instead of being behind the scenes like it’s normally done, probably because someone is stupid.

Low effort tickets are ignored because they are bullshit.

High effort tickets are ignored because devs are lazy and can’t be bothered to deal with complex and boring issues.

Well, at least that’s how I roll as an open source developer lol.

It’s still not enough time for KDE devs to fix all major issues with Wayland. It requires at least another two years in the oven.

I wonder if they consulted Plasma devs about it. Sure they said that they aim to make Wayland ready for Plasma 6, but it didn’t sound like it was an actual plan for 6.0. After all they got their hands full with Qt 6 porting, and there are still major roadblocks with completing Wayland support, while 6.0 is about to have its alpha release already.

Knowing Fedora devs however, I suspect they didn’t. They switched to Plasma Wayland by default several Fedora releases ago, when it was in no way ready. I guess I will switch to a different distro when this time comes.

Exynos Samsung batteries. Tensor is based on Exynos, and S23 has only Qualcomm variant. That’s why Pixel 7 drains battery faster than S23.

I don’t care about gaming performance on a phone, but battery life in Pixel 7 have been worse than in competitors like Galaxy S23.

Maybe it’s a corpo thing, how big is your company?

DLSS is upscaler. Game is rendered at lower resolution and then image is upscaled in a bit smarter way than simple “stretching”.

Microsoft fights very hard to keep governments across the planet use Windows and other Microsoft products (it’s very lucrative market because of corruption and the fact that government regulations on what their employees must use are slow to change once established). And they have very close relationship with USA government specifically.

I don’t know.

Now it looks like it’s hiding something.

Only if you use 15 years old distribution. Linux actually drops support of older hardware faster than Windows, it just doesn’t happen consistently. Old drivers are maintained by volunteers so if someone wants to spend their free time on a driver for 25 years old hardware then it will work. But the moment that single developer disappears or stops caring then this driver is booted from the kernel fast. Supporting old hardware isn’t the goal of Linux unless someone make it their goal (and core developers don’t care either way as long as it’s not their job).
