How do you connect to AWS Workspace? Never used it before.

Have you tried opening a bug with them to see if just got broke in your display manager?

> GTK4 doesn't support fractional scaling but I believe GTK5 might.

I do not think this is current info, but otherwise might be the reason as it is an experimental feature.

For example, you can enable fractional scaling in GNOME right now.

This phoronix article shows the variable to enable it in GTK.

Edit: added a little clarification + cited the specific bit of text I was responding to.

I could not get Teams to even install on Xorg. At the time, screen sharing did not work in the browser.

Thankfully, my employer uses Google Meet for most of the meetings.

* What is your WM?

* Have they posted what is blocking them? Besides a lack of hands on keyboards?

I am trying to narrow down exactly what the issues are. Too much of the conversation is 'something' is broken in Wayland because of 'something'.

> and I believe its maintainer who says that there are issues with Wayland which make support infeasible.

* Where did they say that?

* What are the issues?

I am trying to narrow down exactly what the issues are. Too much of the conversation is 'something' is broken in Wayland because of 'something'.

Would you please talk more about this?

* What is your condition exactly?

* What were you using on X that made you healthy?

* How is it broken on Wayland?

Like a previous comment from another poster: I consider this a feature.

> backdooring and censorship are two very different things

Parent poster talked about backdooring being documented in the US, not comparing the two in general. I posted links about non-US governments making it illegal to document the backdooring or other things the government may worry about an unpopular reaction to. The practice of the 1st amendment in the US offers very strong, but not absolute, protections against this.

> always ironic when ppl say this on websites hosted in the us, a country with the most documented cases of governmental organisation backdooring/spying :/

That is because other countries do not let you document/publish this information. :-)

At least not as much as American courts will allow. The US has it's own censorship laws, but American resistance/choosing to ignore, is quite strong.

> And all Arm processors have to deal with cache coherence issues (which aren't a problem on X86), meaning some drivers

Why are they a problem on Arm and not x86?

We really need national legislation on this. Sales tax being added on is one thing, but tipping is really per business and it will only get worse.

Sound blocking is almost useless for my sensory issues in an office. You not only have noise but people moving around you distracting you.

Are you sure it is not an undercover car? Tinted windows are allowed for them.

The Firefox data is interesting. It has been years since I daily drove a machine with 8 gigs of RAM which is 33% of their current users. Been even longer since it was a 32 bit machine, which is 15% of their current users. Win7 is the second most OS, followed by MacOS other as third. Linux is one of many at the bottom in the chart despite it being the default in (almost?) every distro.

Makes me wonder what kind of profile is the common Firefox user. A corporate shop where the IT head insists on Firefox? The browser you install for your parents and tell them to only use this icon? I have seen FF and Chrome on the free computers at my local library.

It depends on what you like. I do Linux kernel development, so I program in C and currently learning Rust.

The kernel has a lot of it's data structures and functions so my work revolves around using that instead of the built-ins.

That is interesting. Most HFT I hear uses C++. Why C?

> We're still at 'AI generated works are public domain' aren't we?

As far as the US Copyright Office is concerned. I do not believe other countries have weighed in yet.

Also, when your training data is based on copyleft source code, and in some cases is a direct ripoff of it, will that license be applied to it?

> Charging for a commercial license is virtual closed-source. You have reinvented selling software, except with a “try before you buy” model that enables engineers to vet its utility first before paying, with free usage for non-profits (i.e. other non-profit devs).

You really do not understand what rights Open Source licenses give you. The GPL in particular really only affects you if you distribute it (a js library vs nginx). There is no 'non-profit' exception in the GPL.

> but you use the threat of legal action rather than API keys to enforce your rights. “Open Source” is in the name only.

Every software company has a license that governs it's use. I am pretty certain your company will use legal threats if it's source code got out or it's frontend code was being abused. There are likely legal clauses in your employment contract over the source code that you have signed.

I played that alot as a kid. I struggled with staying focused to beat a game, especially with the infamouse Sonic 3 Carnival Night Zone before the age of Youtube. This game was one of the first I was able to beat as a kid.

> I think Musk’s product vision is noble and clear: to make Twitter as neutral and transparent a speech platform as possible. No soft censoring, algorithmic manipulation, etc. You can imagine why certain groups would be against that.

My account was deleted around the same time many reporters who reported on elonjet in the past had. Maybe because I had retweeted elonjet in the past and posted. I do not know-I was never notified in email about it.

Claiming he wants to create a "neutral and transparent a speech platform as possible" when Elon Musk does things like this after taking over Twitter is ridiculous!

That is what enterprises said about Linux.

But the network effects are too strong and the GPL requiring the source code for drivers to be released increases the network effects. Unlike permissive licenses.

Busybox is still overwhelmed suing companies repeatably ignoring the GPL.

Same in North Carolina (was from California).

Hi, thank you for founding Framework.

Love my 12th gen framework laptop except for an issue with the headphone jack. Waiting on a replacement for that.

I do wish the keyboard was better. See the Thinkpad. Using the function key for terminal paste + home and end forces me to spend a second to think to shift between this and my Thinkpad keyboards. I know you are coming out with magnetic ones-really looking forward to that and hope they match the thinkpad.

I really like framework and I happy they are offering AMD.

But I really struggle to recommend Framework after they were unable at this time to fix a hardware issue. The headphone jack will beep when sound turns on and off. Framework confirmed with me that the vendor intended for this and they were unable to fix it because of the parts shortage. It is so annoying I bought a USB C dac to play the audio in.

The keyboard, they minimize way too much, like having to use the fn key for home, end, and pg up/down, as well as insert, I need to press fn+shift+insert to paste something in gnome terminal which means I need to do it for Neovim.

Aside from that, I do like the 3:2 aspect ratio, even if it has issues with GNOME and websites. GNOME refuses to let you snap two windows to each side for some reason. Websites think your screen is too small and so you get the mobile version for a lot of sites.

Still, beautiful screen, excellent webcam, metal body. Needs more execution.

> - does Linux works well (e.g. no intel 12th gen integrated graphic tearing problems or similar), sleep power saving not being grate doesn't matter

Probably not. AMD laptops have struggled in the past. Even Intel Alder Lake works better with 6.2, but I still have issues where it does not resume properly months after release, which was months after Intel released Alder Lake mobile. When I lift the laptop lid, it stays suspended for a few minutes until it wakes up or I need to close the lid and reopen it. Had similar resume and suspend issues with my Skylake System76 Lemur. Feels like it takes years for Intel to resolve issues with their laptops on Linux.

Works better than it used to. Better than when GNOME Settings would crash the system to freeze-haven't had that issue in over a month.

There are several things in the article I feel people should be discussing.

> He sometimes had trouble getting the money he was owed for his labor. At the start of his days, he says, he'd write his name and the hours he'd worked in a notebook and "hope that notebook wouldn't get lost" — which would mean he wouldn't get paid.

Unpaid labor. Wage theft is common between adults, how is a child suppose to defend their hours?

> All the while, nicotine — a substance he's barely old enough to legally purchase now — seeped into his skin. For all tobacco workers, but especially kids, that can cause nicotine poisoning, or green tobacco sickness, whose symptoms include nausea, vomiting, headaches and dizziness.

If adults struggle to avoid this, how is a child suppose to?

> Seventh-graders can't buy cigarettes, and they can't work at grocery stores or fast-food chains. But they can work in tobacco.

The heart of the argument to raise the minimum age laws.

> Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, kids 12 and up can work unlimited hours outside school hours in agriculture, and the rules are even more lenient for kids who work on their families' farms. Outside that industry, workers have to be 16 to work unlimited hours. Sixteen-year-olds and 17-year-olds working in agriculture can do tasks listed by the Labor Department as hazardous, versus 18 in other industries. Agriculture's hazardous occupation orders haven't been updated in 50 years, and they don't include tobacco, despite the known risks for workers of all ages.

Under the current law, completely legal.

Yes, the original JPEG is patent free now. The point of my comparison was between the times that both of them were seeking adoption.

One of the most interesting things to me is that JPEG-XL is under an open Patent License, unlike the original JPEG.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_XL

Also, Google contributed quite a bit to it's development. As the patent grants show:

https://github.com/ImageMagick/jpeg-xl/blob/main/PATENTS

https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/blob/main/PATENTS

Microsoft seemed to have gotten a patent on part of it's implementation (which Google also tried to get). Not sure if Google will pay to invalidate that patent, but I have a feeling they are more likely to defend AVIF.

https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/17/microsoft_ans_patent/

Google's control is a little concerning, but I do feel there are bigger fish to fry then choosing between two free formats. A bigger concern is the H.264 and H.265 patents domination of video.

> No OS appears to have supported it natively either[0].

Not sure what you mean by OS. The link you provided shows that Linux with several GNOME and other tools support JPEG-XL (especially GIMP).

I barely remember that, but that is how the old dos game A-train was based off of.
