Stop blaming Biden for shit he didn’t do. Microsoft has been an illegal monopoly for decades.

I am sure Meta will find another place for it somewhere on Earth.

What mass transit program is Musk trying to disrupt now? (As he did California’s high speed rail with the Hyperloop.)

Good advice. One should always test, for correctness, not just infer.

Using his full name at work?

(Gonna just Emhoff this here.)

Thank you for the reference link.

China has one hell of a note on that page:

This is a thread about slow uptake by programs of Wayland.

X works for me.

X works for me.

What is there to explain?

Please explain.

you think the distros have to implement their own version of Wayland?

Nope. They do have to test their own shit.

Why make a change when one can just not?

But why would the distros do that? It takes effort and has real costs for them.

It is not enough to make a better product.

It is not enough to create all tooling and libraries to seamlessly migrate to the new product, but it helps.

There also needs to be a great big positive reason to make the change. Paying developers, huge user base, the only hardware support, great visuals, etc.

Until I cannot run software on X11, I won’t switch over knowingly.

Thank you for pulling the image out.

This talk surprised me at the time. I was starting the eye opening experience of design hardware. Linux more orchestrates the hardware than controlling it.

To avoid convo in multiple places, it is in reply to message you replied to.

RISC-V is better for Linux due to driver support. Vendors making hardware are more likely to use RISK-V for their controllers due to the costs. Modern computers are putting more functions under control of kernels that run on proprietary compute. (There exists a chart showing how little the Linux kernel directly controls.) As more of those devices run RISC-V, they will become more discoverable.
Also, those that can design or program tge devices will have more transferrable skills. Leading to the best designs spreading, and all designs improving.

Places in a computer with compute (non-exhaustive, not all candidates for RISC-V):
BMC
Soundcard (or subsystem on mainboard)
Video card (GPU and the controller for the GPU)
Storage drives
Networking
Drive interface controlling card
Mainboard (not BMC)
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor
UPS
Printer

Will it be perfect? Nope.
A lot of the vendors will lock things up as well.

You know, if the rules for government handouts were more open, another company could gain ground. Just pointing out something congress controls.

Thank you. It sounds spectacular and well thought out. You must work with a great team.

“Secret Bot” sounds great!

Custom in-house or off the shelf?

So many passwords will be in there. And cat photos.
