did ubisoft make face masks or something wtf happened in 2020

I’m a flutter dev, and I’ve seen testimonies from a former Windows 98 dev about limiting the number of redraws in the shell.

There’s deffo extra overhead, but it’s not linear - 4k being 4 times as many pixels as 1080p doesn’t mean 4k the work to render after the first frame, as the browser/framework will cache certain layout elements.

The initial layout is still expensive, though, so big tables will take longer, but that big table at high Res will probably be less chuggy when scrolling once loaded.

np! o7

rarbg mirrors are simply rehosting the database. You were even able to download and self host it for a while. Not sure if the tracker is able to accept new torrents though, I’m not really knowledgeable on how trackers work

Figma is great for designers, there are sadly very few applications that support collaborative UI-UX design. We badly need a FOSS alternative!

Some distros allow this. Nix for example allows you to save config files that describe your entire system (apps, settings, etc) and then load them in one go. Other distros are following suit with their own tailored solutions too (I think Ubuntu might have something? Manjaro?).

That might save a bit of power, but your dedicated GPU is usually in an idle/powered down state until your compositor gives it specific applications to accelerate. for Nvidia laptops this is what the PRIME/Optimus feature does.

Your GPU doesn’t need to re-render your entire screen every frame. Your compositor will only send regions of the screen that change for rendering, and most application stacks are very efficient with laying out elements to limit the work needed.

At higher resolutions those regions will obviously be larger, but they’ll still take up roughly the same % of the screen space.

Unless you’re running games or 3D intensive apps no. Resolution is cheap on power under normal circumstances.

Fedora, Ubuntu etc. use up to date packages if you’re using flatpaks and snaps. Nix I suppose fits the bill better but it’s a harder distro to “learn” than arch imo

How about Rhino? Rolling release of Debian Sid iirc

I like the approach here, but the requirements are a little vague and prone to bikeshedding. Stuff like “could this be used by multiple clients” might mean a protocol is held in limbo whilst it’s given extra scope for example.

It’ll need some strong moderation which might rub people the wrong way, but if this keeps Wayland’s cutting edge moving whilst the official solutions are found, I’m all for it.

Wayland’s approach has always been to make 3rd party protocols easier to opt in and out of. Sway and Hyprland both used custom protocols whilst official solutions were being designed iirc. Nothing stopping anyone from switching from one protocol to another if they implement the same thing down the line.

At least this way, compositors may be able to use something like frog as a shared “experimental branch” which can be enabled for users who need them, but otherwise disabled whilst Wayland core isn’t pressured to work faster.

It’s up to Wayland to make these projects obsolete if it causes them or users a problem.

Reminds me of the endless “AMD getting bought out???” posts back when their stock price was $2.30 a share lol.

Intel has absolutely massive amounts of IP and physical assets. They’d more likely spin off their fabs before being bought out.

I much prefer our modern package format solutions:

1. sudo apt install something
2. open
3. wtf this is like 6 months old
4. find a PPA hosted by someone claiming to have packaged the new version
5. search how to install PPAs
6. sudo apt <I forgot>
7. install app finally
8. wtf it’s 2 months old and full of bugs
9. repo tells me to report to original developer
10. report bugs
11. mfw original dev breaks my kneecaps for reporting a bug in out of date versions packed with weird dependency constraints they can’t recreate

We had to convince my brother in law (13yo) to not spend his birthday money of £85 on Genshin impact skins. Kids are fucked by advertising man

Genuinely surprised when I see people running mail servers without issue. I suppose getting in relatively early means you’re not immediately sent to junk mail lists by the big players.
