That and conservatives abhor thinking. They need someone or something to defer to. And LLMs can give them all sorts of moderately intelligent bullshit they’ve come to expect . From their leaders and politicians. But better and faster. With possibly even less accuracy.
Not enough money for big bird. But money to spare for a fascist private jet. Tragic
Yep fucking tragic. Though he also isn’t sincere about it. The man holds no significant position other than benefiting himself. As one of his constituents that’s been extremely clear.
X11 is a display server. Wayland is a presentation layer. Different goals. I have run graphical multi-seat systems using x11. Something like that will never be possible in the same way for Wayland because it is out of the design scope
We’ll get there. Honestly I think in the long run Wayland will be easier to troubleshoot and maintain. But then that may just be memories of troubleshooting XFree86 back in the 90s. I still have flashbacks.
X11 would have needed almost a complete rewrite. Wayland made sense. Eject the technical debt and focus on your use case. We aren’t time sharing on a large central mini computer/mainframe anymore. And even then they generally are full single user systems run in parallel under a hypervisor these days. As wasteful as that might be.
But there’s still occasions when you need to run a legacy application on old AIX, Irix, etc, or vax Hardware. And need a workstation. Which right now Wayland simply can’t do without x.
Yep absolutely. It’s been years since I’ve done that myself. But there’s lots of Legacy software out there. Especially on Legacy systems that are not being developed for at all anymore. That will continue to require X11. One of the other more Niche uses which Wayland doesn’t support I believe are multi graphical users on a single system. Again probably something I don’t think I’ve messed around much with in the last decade. But it was a fun feature. Wayland is much more focused on a single session.
And X11 will never be ready for most modern users. They have different goals. But that’s the thing with open source. As long as someone somewhere needs it. Even if 90% of us don’t need X11 for legacy software. It will still be here.
Not even that. It was because a disingenuous psychopath raised a big stink to the payment processors that Steam and itch rely on. As long as they want to process payments they unfortunately need the companies and have to appease them. The best thing we could do is raise a bigger opposite stink.
Hah, Gilliam and time bandits. Up voted. So true.
There are many that irrationally reflexively recoil at anything “AI”. Yes most of the current gatekeepers are looking to weaponize it against us. And yes they are rushing to implement it in the most wasteful and destructive ways imaginable. Chasing a few dollars more.
AI however is just a tool. And asics are being designed to be far more efficient for it. And we could also use it against the wealthy as well. But they aren’t behaving rationally. Even this post will likely be down voted. Because I didn’t irrationally scream and denounce it.
I will say this though. We don’t need economic growth. We need to remove leaches from the economy. If we did that. We could provide a better standard of living to more people with a smaller "economy ".
Is there a warrant out for John Baron?
If only we could have had a test drive of sorts before. That actual news media could have reported on. Instead of sane washing him. If only.
IKR? Shades of Ralph Wiggum.
If the most relevant way to describe someone is “influencer”. Then everyone influenced by them is a moron. They are just a mega moron. It’s a safety hazard any of these vehicles are allowed on the road. Let alone, driving autonomously with no actual intelligence on board.
Ozzy, Malcolm, and Chuck on the platform. Ready to ride the crazy train to heaven. Just waiting for them to clear the tracks of that meat head wrestler bulk. From the crossroads to hell. Gotta be able to get up to speed to go off thr rails with that crazy train.
Yep even if people don’t know his music. He was still a cultural icon on KOTH.
We lost a Mangione too!
They should know by now what a target rich environment for rubes they are. They should, but they don’t. That’s what makes them such good targets.
