So I skimmed the actual article, not sure if the author said this, but my guess as to why Wayland has a … worse reputation generally in the latency department, than seems to be deserved?
At least for myself, there was a significant period of time where … XWayland was the only way to actually run whatever game, on my system, with/via Wayland.
If this kind of thing was not just myself, and was generally common… well then XWayland = Wayland -> Wayland sucks.
Ah, so they’re losing marketing talent.
I mean sure, but…
What kind of ‘key talents and skills’ are we talking about?
The ability to make the same game, 20 times?
Those ‘talents’ and ‘skills’?
Hello, my name is Marc Parella and I am laughably ignorant of the entirety of human history since roughly 1880.
Yes, I’m trying to be hyperbolically facetious, to illustrate that.
Well holy shit I didn’t know that existed!
Presumably they… don’t have it GUI exposed because they don’t want to give the average user the ability to potentially fully lock up their CPU and totally crash their PC?
I don’t have much to say in detail, other than ‘thank you for the very well worded and thought out response!’
I will have have to chew on this for a while, I think, to fully grasp all of it, hah!
Even worse!
Admitting that I was not always doing the most sensible thing, at all times! That I was actually doing really stupid things, for a long time!
I … I can’t make mistakes… no … reality is wrong!
And you misspelled ‘The’ ;)
In other news, SpaceX stock is currently at…
$136.78, as of time of this comment, after hours trading.
Yep.
Yeah. ‘Flash Crashed’ about $1 Trillion of market cap out of existence today.
…I’m sure that’ll buff right on out, no problem.
Genuine question:
Would you have a reccomendation for a comparable alternative?
Like, I have experience with a good deal of scripting languages, sql variants… am currently trying to do Morton coding/interleaving for octrees in Godot.
I have the framework working in GDScript… theoretically, if its not performant enough, i could either attempt to transition it to C++ / GDExtension… or, potentially, I could do a ‘Rustdot’ type thing, apparently its possible to… do that.
So, while I am only really aware of Rust as a potential alternative to C++, in my specific context… would you have a broader opinion of lower level languages? I just actually don’t know much about them.
Yeah… ‘punk’ is an actual lifestyle, maybe you could say an ideology, or parts of an ideology, or a framework for ideology.
When you just wear it as a costume, you’re not only missing the point, you’re disposing of the meaning the style is supposed to signify… you’re gentrifying a concept, and very likely commodifying it.
Now of course I don’t expect every young person, young adult to … grasp all of that… would be very stupid to ‘well ackshually’ some kid just trying to express themselves as unique, in some way.
But maybe, hopefully, some of em will read this, and it’ll spur them to look into the actual history, the actual ideas… realize that how you live is incredibly more important than what you look like, while doing so.
ITT:
Win 10 user not realizing they are self-reporting how unenthusiastic / unimpressed they are by their OS, to the extent that they literally cannot even imagine being excited by any OS.
I’d say fuzzball there has some pretty lips, but… nah, not really.
She got confused and misspelled ‘poser’.
Or, or… hear me out:
Every big box shopping center?
Just put an axe throwing / darts / cornhole ‘store’ on one side, and a VR arcade on the other side.
The whole ‘male daycare/playpen zone’ thing? For dudes who just don’t wanna be shopping any more?
Give them an actual male daycare zone, that is actually enjoyable.
Ancillary bonus: wtf, does that kinda seem like a ‘third place’ where social interactions with randos can happen?
Yeah its still capitalistic, but presuming we’re talking about America/Americans… baby steps, baby steps.
Well maybe not epigenetic, but look up the so called ‘Mouse Utopia Experiment’.
Basically, when you entirely remove the ability of social mammals to feel like they are actively doing something to succeed in that society… social dynamics invert and social instincts basically now work in an ultimately destructive way.
The mice become territorial despite there being enough resources for all of them.
Extreme mating selection pressure basically causes incels, weaker mice that aren’t allowed to mate, that stronger male mice just basically attack for sport.
Then you get looksmaxxers, ‘the beautiful ones’, some of the incel male mice switch to just preening themselves all the time, never breed, but never try to, so they don’t get attacked.
Female mice stop caring for their children, become more polyamorous.
More male become gay or bi. Sometimes consensually, sometimes not, as part of an assault.
As more generations come into being, they learn the behaviors of their parents, of the mice in their environment, and thus basically stop acting like ‘normal’ mice.
… this all results in an extremely hostile social dynamic that ultimately leads to basically what would be called a slew of mental/behavioral disorders compared to your Gen 0 starter mice, and this leads to population collapse. Tons of unneccessary aggression, way way lower birth rates.
So … in a situation of abundance, in a species that is evolutionarily hardwired to compete for dominance over scarce resources, thus creating a kind of hierarchy… well the instincts for that do not go away, despite them not actually being needed, strictly speaking.
And those instincts are what causes the population to… correct its overshoot, sort of, but in a catastrophic way.
I would posit that this is not perfectly analagous to humans… but broadly similar.
Theoretically, we have the sentience and sapience to truly realize that we have outgrown some of our instincts, and intentionally replace them with better ones.
In practice?
… TBD, I guess.
Like, imagine trying to explain the concept of a parasocial relationship a human nowadays may have with a streamer, or a massive super fan or brand loyalist to whatever company… try to explain that to a person from 1810.
You could explain it to them. People from 200 years ago are not ‘stupider’ than people now.
But they would still likely find the entire thing completely insane.
Yeah! It was a bunch of different gifs! Maybe … 128x128 px at 12 or 24 fps, something like that?
He’d make ‘facial expressions’, and move around… looked kinda like Veggie Tales style animation.
And there was more than just Clippy, he was just the default. There was like… an Einstein look a like… a dog… I think there were at least 8 different little mascot type things, to go along with the actual ‘speech bubble’ style, actual user interface.
I remember just fucking around with this shit in the early 00s, in the computer lab.
EDIT
Ok, here’s the Office 97 version:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=-QBlKo6o4Ec
By the time I was using Office, a few years later, they’d figured out how to hide the ‘window’ that Clippy appears in, and basically alpha mask the gifs, make the backgrounds of them transparent.
So, not a true ‘desktop buddy’, as you had to have Word open, but … yeah Clippy basically ‘lived in’ Word, if that makes any sense.
Woops, entire store is a mimic.
…sorry for your loss.
Eh… not quite sure what exactly you are trying to say, but:
Bazzite has multiple variants, and they have a webpage that points you at the correct one.
https://bazzite.gg/#image-picker
There is also the FAQ:
https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/FAQ/
… anyway, as others have said, there are actually a lot of differences between Bazzite and SteamOS.
Honestly just read all of the FAQ page.
