I searched online and found articles from December 2024 that Discord supports Wayland screen and audio sharing.

Real good example is the comments on the article itself:

https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoron...

Where it seems like text based forums using upvotes/likes or reactions encourages those who are less inquisitive and/or humble to take up a lot of the atmosphere.

It got me thinking that the internet today has more people on it but fewer forums to engage with technical topics in depth.

Sudo isn't baked into the system. It's an application.

https://www.sudo.ws/

Did you read the thread linked?

That backdoor was never pushed out of the testing branches for distros.

Because your post is the repeating cliches that are under every discussion about systemd.

You're essentially saying that the month you spent is enough for you to call it bad and the creators incompetent.

What qualifies you to make a determination like that?

There is never any actual technical reasons it's always about vague things like not adhering to UNIX philosophy, lines of code or it being badly designed (without any real architectural criticism)

This is an article about why they believe sudo isn't a good system. Where's your criticism of that from a technical / security perspective?

It's been about 10 years since systemd was adopted by Debian/Ubuntu/Redhat/Fedora etc.

Millions of deployments over the years. The companies that build and are paid to support for years with SLAs the operating systems are using it without issue.

Is that really how they develop software?

Because I'm pretty sure that most of the components are optional.

You did not even discuss the reasoning given for not using sudo to instead hop on your soapbox to say it's bad software with bad practices and that they are stupid.

It's annoying how in the the more surface level Linux communities there's 0 value in discussing systemd.

"1 million lines of code for PID0!"

The new thing is blaming systemd for that recent exploit even though distros were patching in the bug themselves.

People analysing the exploit determined that a new version of systemd was going to prevent the exploit vector so the exploit seemed to have been rushed out.

Isn't this just textbook FUD?

What I've noticed is over the years is systemd would have identified a gap in functionality.

Like systemd-homed having a solution for automatically encrypting home directory when the machine is suspended.

Is that a functionality that OSX has had for years? Yes.

But anti-systemd people will dislike it automatically.

Only two skin colours eh? White and political?

Or is women you've got a problem with?

It's a technical article about an esoteric topic, you don't usually get good discussion.

Sometimes it's good for a laugh. Like I remember a commenter in one of the XZ posts saying that open source contributors should be required to have US security clearance.

The top comment talking about Vista (2007), Crisis (last game 2011), Witcher (Last game 2015) and the Datsun name change (1986) is really something.

iPhones and Android phones don't exist? Perhaps all Android phones are $200 and don't support HDR.

There's a lot of windows laptops that support P3 or in the case of some OLED displays exceed Display P3's gamut.

The same for monitors. There's 4K OLEDs hitting the market hitting about 80% rec 2020 and completely covering Display P3.

Your display market knowledge is a few years outdated.

If the 16ms latency at 60hz bothers you.

Then get a 120hz display which has 8ms latency.

Or there's 240hz 4k displays with 4ms

If that's not enough then there's 1080p esport monitors with 540hz so 1.85ms.

Who designates it as critical?

If someone makes a library and other people start using it, are they forced to reveal their identity?

Do the maintainers get paid?

Some people are trying to push a conspiracy theory that the maintainer and the contributor are the same person.

Many people write code for fun and slack is a social communications platform.

If you can't imagine people using these tools for other reasons than pure unemotional business value then you don't understand their market.

Your suggestions would lose those platforms users and revenue.

Normal people understand watts. Because they know what an electric heater is.

And using 2x to 3x more electricity means more heat in their room.

Also many countries have smart electricity meters with in home units which tell them exactly how many watts are currently being consumed and how much that costs them.

The knowledge and design that has gone into the most basic of real time clocks is is incomparable to a mechanical watch.

Have you heard of MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems)?

Look at these photographs and then tell me a Swiss watch is something to be impressed by.

Watches are valuable because of marketing. Is your sentimentality worth more because it's an expensive watch?

Yeah motherboards for threadripler have extra power supply connections.

I believe there's a the option to connect two

World record on cinebench with liquid nitrogen pulled 1.6kW

"They should run typical desktop applications and monitor performance counters to see what typical branch and memory footprints look like. These types of data should be used to inform benchmark design for future CPU-Z versions."

You selectively quoted them to rant about something they weren't talking about.

The entire article was about how the design of their benchmark doesn't reflect how applications people use work.

~100% of games don't fit into the L1 cache of a CPU.

The feedback is asking for a free service to be provided to them.

This isn't a project with massive corporate funding.

If the project isn't updating this page but they're actively making patch releases, what's the benefit?

There's this attitude when it comes to FOSS software where free users seem more entitled than paying users.

Isn't it significantly more entitled to ask volunteers provide a service?

Are you giving them money?

It seems to be a mostly volunteer driven project.

Proprietary SoC vendors use an fork of a very old version of the software so they're not invested.

Why not try engaging and see if you can help them automate advisories based on their issue tracker / got activity?

Because your attitude comes off as entitlement.

It's only on this site, ironically a forum run by a venture capitalist firm, that I've seen so much anti sentiment about Wikipedia's funding.

Temporal Dithering also known as Frame Rate Control is very often used in 8 bit panels to allow them to display almost as many colours as a 10bit panel.

From the input perspective you're running it as a 10bit panel

Living in the UK, the big repatriation discussion is around the British Museum and the Elgin Marbles

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgin_Marbles

It's named Elgin from the person that took it from Greece.

There's a patriotism around it where it has become a political issue about whether to do so.

The common argument against is that it would mean that the Museum would need to give back everything in its collection.

Today we have such sophisticated technology we can recreate pretty much any artifact.

Scan it, and get as much research data as possible, if there's a fear of it being lost. But like the article talks about the Nepalese statues which are still part of their culture being stolen in the 1980s, the people that would care most are those whose ancestors created it.

If the role of a museum is to educate then exhibitions on something like reproducing an ancient Egyptian coffin would be fascinating.

I visited Pompeii recently and what I really appreciated was the context of the artifacts together.

Looking at home from almost 2000 years ago, and seeing the "beware of dog" mosaic in the entranceway gave me much more of an appreciation of the life people there would have lived.

You see lead pipes going along the ground and you may think they're new. But no, there was a previous earthquake that damaged the infrastructure, so whilst there were repairs happening the volcano erupted.

It's funny that you generalised a region of 12.2 million but then is offended by someone generalising the US.

You've repeated a cliche about the city.

Did you live there? Anything particular?

That made you decide: "never live there, though"

More money doesn't just mean better service.

For example, I spoke to a doctor that has to travel between multiple hospitals during the course of their work.

There used to be an in-house service that the NHS owned for transporting medical staff between locations.

That has been privatised as in a contract has gone out for tender and a company won to do the service.

The service used to be reliable. Now they often have to book Ubers out of pocket to get where they need on time.

The inhouse service is gone. So of course and renewals are going to cost more.

When people talk about the deterioration of the service, a common counterargument is that the money being spent is going up as a way to shut down conversation.

You can look up the terms of their Consent Decree with the FTC.

It was signed by Twitter as a result of them having a data breach.

Perhaps instead of thinking of religion as "operating systems" you think instead about society as a whole.

Religion is just a type of politics. A set of ideas and values.

The factor you're masking is gender equality as it ties to religion. India has a significant gender imbalance of children skewed towards boys due to girls being aborted. Because due to religion were less valued and was reflected in inheritance laws.

Korea recently elected an antifeminist leader driven by popularity with young men. Doesn't make them attractive unless we go back to the times of forced marriage. Though I do hear there's activists in the west preaching "enforced monogamy"

There are other factors that are more impactful.

Like cost of living being significantly higher resulting in adults spending more years working to get to the same financial position as the previous generation.

If you need to work until you're 30 to be in the same relative position as your parents when they were 24 then that makes a huge impact when it comes to starting a family.

Also factor in that more educated people have fewer children worldwide, and university education adds more years before a person starts working.

I think it's been 10 years since that Canonical Mir project that created a lot of drama.

I remember Intel removing their code from their driver saying they won't support them as Wayland was the future, for example.

And it finally gets fractional scaling now?

How is colour management on Wayland?

Is there HDR support?

Care to explain why? And what industry you're talking about?

Kubernetes has made efforts for nodes to work with poor network connectivity.

The node requirements aren't that big.

A lot of use cases are relatively easy to containerise.

And edge / IoT devices are getting more powerful as well.

They aren't talking about consumer IoT here as well.

It has become a meme that Kubernetes is complicated. But it solves a lot of orchestration problems that would need to be implemented in other ways.

So the important feature is H.264 encoding support on the GPU.

I'm surprised that Lenovo is the one that would pay the licencing fee, I imagined that Nvidia would sell that bundled as part of the chip.

If the expertise isn't there then they should use SaaS solutions.

There's plenty that aren't expensive. And they don't need to roll their own software.
