It's been a while since I've watched it myself, but remember them going into the ownership structure.

There's basically no way for them to not make it a subscription model.

You can cancel when receiving the first reminder, or probably also immediately. Good initiative though, I might do the same.

I'd change

  • Github, ... To
  • Git, for version control

Except it's barely in your hands because your surroundings have vastly more influence over what you actually become.

What a metaphor.

Good to mention that (in the Netherlands) when you've provided fingerprints for a new identification card, the fingerprints are wiped from any system after you've received the card, remaining only on the card itself.

That's Sudan underneath Egypt, right? Never knew they have a "white" population. Actually, I still don't know that.

Interestingly, as ChatGPT might be trained on these ELI5 questions and as a result they are asked more infrequently, it might get worse over time or out of date on these types of questions by its own doing. I especially wonder how bad this influence will get on subjects that you'd normally search stackoverflow for.

I wonder if internally the emoji's are added through a different mechanism that doesn't pick up the original request. E.g. another LLM thread that has the instruction "Is this apologetic? If it is, answer with exactly one emoji." After this emoji has been forcefully added, the LLM thread that got the original request is trying to reason why the emoji would be there, resulting in more apologies and trolling behaviour.

Using Garuda Linux with KDE. Installed this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-session-steam-git

Wrote some scripts that performs the switching like it's being done on ChimeraOS & the Steam Deck. Want to release them in a repository some time, but they're awfully hacky right now.

Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don't count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.

Explained by someone that doesn't know the technical side super well.

1: It's a new protocol for displaying. The main difference from X11, as I understand it, is a simplification of the stack. Eliminating the need for a display server, or merging the display server and compositor.

2: Some things impossible (or difficult) with X11 are much better supported in Wayland. Their not necessarily available, as the Wayland protocol is quite generic and needs additional protocols for further negotiation. Examples are fractional scaling & multiple displays with differing refresh rates.

Security is also improved. X11 did not make some security considerations (as it is quite old, maybe justifiably so). In X11 it's possible for any application to "look" at the entire display. In Wayland they receive a specific section that they can draw into and use. (This has the side-effect of complicating stuff like redshifting the screen at night, but in my experience that has fully caught up).

3: If you're interested, are in desktop application development (but I have no experience in that regard) or have a specific need for Wayland.

4: I think X won't die for a long long time if "ever". I'm not super familiar with desktop app development, but I don't think it requires more work to keep supporting X.

On the other hand, most of the complaints about Wayland I've heard were ultimately about support. At some point, when you're a normal user, the distro maintainer should be able to decide to move to Wayland without you noticing, apart from the blurriness being gone with fractional scaling.

Here's why

If what the first commenter said is true. They will just implement RCS or an alternative in the EU and make up some reason why they can't or won't for the US market.

TLDR; Does anyone know if there's an initiative to use the pdf rendering engines built into most browsers and used while printing a web page in more flexible ways? Ideally from javascript being able to get the pdf as a File.

I've been looking into download as pdf functionality we implemented at work. It's for a single project, relatively small, so we implemented it with html2pdf.js. There seems to be no better way than rendering the webpage as canvas and saving as an image inside PDF. Although I'm thankful that the project exists, with the lack of text selection, poor image quality and/or large file sizes, it feels bad serving it to the customer. Then I started to look into the printed version and I loved it. Learned some new stuff about css, being able to break a page before a specific element. Tables automatically repeat their header across a page break. I can also save this as pdf, better quality, 40x reduction in file size, yay! However, web api to start this is print(), no arguments, no alternatives. Putting this behind a "Download" buttons seems confusing for the end user. I'm amazed we can't use this built in pdf rendering engine in more flexible ways. (See TLDR for question)
