Tech dirt's stepping up and arguing for actual journalism:
Let’s be clear: uncritically reporting the White House’s “nothing to see here” stance isn’t journalism — it’s stenography.
The media’s job isn’t to parrot White House talking points — it’s to uncover the truth.
100% this. The freedom to say anything also does not entail the right to be listened to. Nobody is required to platform "undesirable" speech. Getting banned from a platform is a perfectly acceptable consequence.
Amazing project, well done HeavyBell!
It's hard to write and hard to read. The forced joining of every single letter in a word quicky makes it unintelligible unless your handwriting is perfect or you write very slowly
The Nvidia driver has very good performance, and for most usecases it's.... Fine. But it does bring extra hoops and issues. There's a reason many distros have started to ship the "normal ISO" and the "nVidia ISO".
The nVidia driver also uses kernel modules, which can interfere with secure boot.
And many modern features are developed for Wayland-only: Mixed refresh rate, mixed fractional scaling, HDR etc. And nVidia is behind on Wayland support, since they only recently decided to cave on and use the same pipeline as AMD/Intel instead of their own.
Breaktimer is free, open source and cross-platform.
Default is a reminder every 30minutues for a break, with a Snooze and Skip button. Snooze is very handy if you just wanna complete something you were in the middle of doing
Can't recommend TreeStyleTabs enough!
Not only does it trade off precious vertical space for plentiful horizontal space, but also the tabs get organized hierarchical, so when searching and opening multiple tabs , the tabs get grouped naturally
How long have you had the composite deck? How has it stood up to UV? Like is it faded or getting brittle?
It's clickable on Jerboa app too
It does yes. Although it launches Steam directly as its own .. "shelll"? Is that the right word? KDE is bypassed entirely unless you launch "Desktop Mode"
Anyways, I still wouldn't recommend Arch to a new user, go with something easier and more mainstream for your first Linux experience. PopOS, Mint, Fedora, Norabora, Ubuntu/Kubuntu
Also, saying Steam Deck uses Arch isn't wrong, but it's a bit misleading. It uses an Arch base , curated, configured and tested by Valve, and finally periodically shipped as updates using immutable root images (on a single well defined hardware platform). If you install vanilla Arch yourself you're responsible for all configuration and testing yourself.
Simply put, X11 is the bottom of the graphics stack, i.e. everything that makes Linux have more than just a command line has historically been built on top of X11
X11 is OLD. Like really old. And has a bunch of problem because of it (no variable refresh rate, no good multi monitor support, no proper fractional scaling , tearing, no security etc) It's also very mature. Somehow developers have managed to build a decent user experience out of the old X11
The Wayland protocol was designed to overcome the shortcomings of X11 and replace it. Wayland is now at the cusp of being a fully functional complete replacement for X11. It already is for many (most?) use cases.
Many Applications that are not made for Wayland will still run in Wayland, but they run in a fake X11 server inside called Xwayland. But native Wayland is better (performance, security, features)
Wayland very good on AMD and Intel these days. Nvidia was unsupported, but last year nVidia made a business decision to support EGL(?) so with fresh drives work has begun in Gnome and KDE to support Nvidia in Wayland. I'm not sure how mature Nvidia on Wayland is yet
FSM in the context of a garage probably means Factory Service Manual, i.e. the service manual for a car or motorbike
