It just doesn't look great nor serious nor welcoming.

The guy gives a ton of "I don't care about anyone's use cases except mines" vibes too. Also called Gnome and KDE teletubbies DEs when I mentioned xcomposite being an important feature. Basically considering the widely known issues around multimonitor vsync and mismatched resolutions and all as basically not real issues with Xorg.

XLibre is 100% a political fork because the guy claims Xorg is deprecated by a big tech conspiracy pushing inferior software onto users. There's nothing wrong with wanting to continue Xorg's legacy but come on we don't have to pretend Xorg is this perfect thing that always works. Xorg has been hated for decades for a reason. This xkcd exists for a reason: https://xkcd.com/963/

It's been a while, but I believe you do need the annoying new XML/SVG thing as it also doubles as the splash screen animation when you open an app as well. You can embed a PNG in those but vector is preferred because of screen resolutions.

Wishing you great success with your app, disabilities are wildly underserved especially in open-source.

Wine has always done that, last seen on Plasma 5 (I switched to Wayland with Plasma 6), and I remember that being a thing way back in 2007 too. Valved patched the scaling in Proton as well I believe so that might be why it didn't do that.

It behaves how fullscreen apps work on Windows, takes over your whole display and messes with the resolution and all.

It's supposed to scale correctly, but otherwise Gamescope will take care of that particular issue.

Kinda annoying on Xorg when the game just decides my screen should be 800x600 and then proceeds to crash and leave me at 800x600 on a 4K display with scaling set to 200%.

I think it's also made much more apparent when that demographic that had no interest in computers were forced to be chronically online due to the lockdowns and quickly found the anti-vaxx groups, and suddenly felt like their opinion matters and that everyone is an expert if they do a little bit of "research".

Why though?

We can just subscribe to the community on lemmy.ml, there's no point reposting when it's already there ready to federate.

It depends on your overall energy use but generally that would be negligible when compared to heating and hot water, especially during winter when the furnace runs 24/7.

In particular, during the winter, all excess energy from the oven is heat the furnace doesn't have to provide so it's basically free: you'd use that energy anyway.

Generally the economy of scale should technically favor the prebaked bread, at least before the store slaps its value added surcharge for it. The store still needs to pay for the energy (but probably gets it cheaper than you), but also needs to pay to maintain a factory, equipment, employees. So you kinda need to factor in the price of your oven too and its wear and tear.

I just buy the loaf because one thing I know for sure is if I factor in the value of my time, it's way better and easier to work an hour than spend an hour baking a loaf of bread. The time to bake the bread costs more than if I used that time to work the equivalent time and buy 5 loaves of bread with the money.

That's the point, we don't want it to phone home. So why are we crying it won't let us turn on an even worse feature when telemetry is off?

If you don't like it phoning home, why would you possibly want it to download and execute random code pushed by Mozilla? No phoning home means no phoning home. You can't possibly want telemetry off and labs on at the same time.

That kind of makes sense? Aren't the labs when they're A/B testing or benchmarking new features before general release and toggle random people's settings doing so? I vaguely recall some drama around that.

If I turn off telemetry I want those off too, it makes sense they're linked. It you want a new feature there's always nightly+about:config, but I don't want it downloading random config toggles especially if it's not reporting back that it broke my stuff. The code should be what I installed and compiled by my distro, not some random lab blob downloaded off their servers at runtime.

It seems to have picked up "circle" as the distro. You'll need to replace that with the matching Ubuntu or Debian version of what this version of ElementaryOS is.
