My heat pump can be controlled by an app but it all goes through an external web page for some reason so I noped out of it.

Looks like Synthetics and Cottons at 60° and 1200RPM. But my guess is that all programs will send data.

1.6% of gamers use Linux. 25% of developers use Linux. Typical tech enthusiast is not gamer. Just because in your bubble people use VRR doesn't mean it's important to majority of users. Most Linux users don't care.

I know how you feel but you have to understand that the memes are not about you personally. We know that most Americans on lemmy are the cool ones. The ones that don't have guns and are not afraid of socialism. The memes are about the other Americans and, you know, we're just joshing. I though that's obvious, that's why I asked why everyone is suddenly so touchy about it. Usually the cool Americans are in on the joke. Now they are all sensitive about it. It's just weird.

Yep, exactly what happened. This cotton candy land: communist Poland.

Ok, I see we have run out of memes and are staring to repost everything again. Time to start new service guys.

That's why it doesn't make sense arguing about it with Wayland fans. They always find this one obscure feature that X is missing and then claim it's absolutely essential for everyone to have it. Most people have just one monitor, two equal/similar monitors, a handheld device with one screen or (and that's the vast majority) simply don't give a fuck that one of their monitors is working on a lower refresh rate. I'm glad Wayland finally found some traction with gamers obsessed with those things and is being adopted but the constant BS about everyone needing it is getting boring.

Sorry, I used the term "fad" to make a pun on X flaws being a 'FUD' (haha). It's not a fad in the sense that it will soon disappear. What I meant is that the excitement around it is not funded in actual benefits and it just recently became fashionable to support it.

"It doesn't exist in my bubble so the researchers are wrong".

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 3 points 10 months ago

Nope, I don't remember and after it happened couple of times I just started avoiding it.

Oh, I see where you got confused. When people say 'Americans do something' they mean 'most Americans do it' or 'significant portion of American population do it', not 'all Americans do it'. You see, countries are big and there are a lot of people in them and it very rare for everyone in a country to think exactly the same. That's why we usually focus on the prevailing attitudes that shape the country over the years instead of looking for believes shared by ALL citizens (because they don't exists). Currently over 40% of Americans believe that "God has granted America a special role in human history" and it was way higher in the not so distant past, that's why someone could say that "Americans believe it". Hope this helps.

I don't mind Wayland but I sure hope flatpack will not become the default way to distribute packages. Most packages I tried so far didn't work. I just avoid it now.
