“Do I look like I know what a Wayland is?”

A Dungeon & Daddies reference is not what I expected to see today either.

As soon as they came out with scale, I knew core was going to be cut off when scale got good enough. There are just more possibilities with what you can do with Linux. The extra community support can not be understated as valuable to a profit driven company. At the end of the day, they gotta eat too and having one base system instead of two is the way they need to do it. The features are growing much faster on scale than they ever were on core in my opinion.

The real question is could we ever really trust photographs before AI? Image manipulation has been a thing long before the digital camera and Photoshop. What makes these images we see actually real? Cameras have been miscapturing image data for as long as they have existed. Do the light levels in a photo match what was actually there according to the human eye? Usually not. What makes a photo real?

According to their feature support page for M2, it appears it works now.

I am new to Wayland, but on asahi it is mandatory. So I am having to get used to it. Which is more noticeable as I had to change from i3 to sway. They are functionally identical but different in how you configure it with the wayland compositor.

Keep in mind that asahi cut out X11 support and went straight for wayland. It can support xwayland, just know that some things may or may not play nicely if the software doesn’t support wayland. As Wayland is the future of compositors, most popular Linux software should support it eventually.

Linux on arm is good, however as it is not nearly as popular in the desktop space as x86, common binaries for certain applications may not exist on arm if it closed source. You may or may not need those, you can make that judgement call.

Battery life is better than I expected but still not nearly as good as Macos. At least until they can come up with a proper solution for low power usage. Which currently a logistical problem of making something Linux kernel upstream compatible instead of applying a functional dirty solution now.

Linux on M1 is noticeably snappier than anything else I have ever used. It has a great future ahead of it. If your workloads don’t rely on heavy gpu usage and all your software can be found or compiled there. It is a pleasant experience. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I think some of the other users talked about the common things well enough.

Also yes, dual booting is currently the only supported option. They still need macos for firmware upgrades.

That would conflict with the proposed law. They want to be able to write what they want, not see what already exists.

History has taught us restricting access to knowledge never goes well. It will piss some people off, sure. Enough to make a difference? Can’t say, most people are indifferent. As long as they get AN answer, that’s all they care about. Not necessarily the correct one.

Fines I would assume. Lawsuits even.

Yes, but that kinda defeats the point of an open knowledge library for all. This is a problem that should be fixed with legislation and not artificial blocking. We shouldn’t punish the unfortunate for being stuck with the stupid.

If that is the case, then that is a rather smart play.

Now I don’t know how this works but if you can transform into animals, a bird would make more sense and forgo the tossing entirely.

I have been waiting for the results of project silica for awhile. The fact there are potential alternatives is very exciting to hear. The hoard is not getting any smaller.

You clearly have never met a data hoarder before then. Some people just store things for the heck of it and if it happens to be relevant years down the line, they have you covered.

Perhaps google will make one at some point too. They already have the big version.

The irony that we have to go to google for a privacy focused phone with graphene os is not lost on me. It still is strange.

I am a big fan of this not. The worst thing about tech is all the bloody acronyms.

I am all for the protection of the environment and sacred ground, but if doing so helps prevent our and other creatures extinction, I am willing to look the other way.

Whether this actually does that is yet to be seen and verified as worth it.

I would imagine if it does happen, there will be another reddit style migration. The pissed off leave and everyone who doesn’t care or aren’t upset enough stays.

I mean, they already advertise in the operating system, is it really that far of a stretch? Shareholders have to squeeze that rock as much as they can.
