Partial German-American Khazar, and an aspiring Vtuber. Also, former editor for CoculesNation.

Interests are as follows: Music, Gaming, TTRPGs, Creative Writing, FOSS, Linux, AI, Numerology (Gematria, Chinese Numerology, Chaldean Numerology, etc.), and Pro Wrestling.

Things in other languages are written using LibreTranslate.

PFP was generated using Mistoon Diamond (SD 1.5) with 1Shot and Coconut LoRA for those interested in Stable Diffusion.

  • That's me a lot of the time... but some things I actually do get done. For example, I'm working on a book I'm reading for LibriVox, and plan to finish it soon.

  • Anymore, none of them. Now I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's because I don't even care to see the point if it's just recycled garbage, which was most of them in the past score of years.

  • There's always a script, so spies are not needed.

  • Again, I had a thought of VRR and MRR being in a potential alpha state before Wayland started getting more development.

  • You do you. I won't stop you, considering how many people seemingly think Wayland is the standard right now. I'm looking into Phoenix too, which is a from-scratch X Server implementation, and I'm sure that would be decent.

  • I was comparing the XLibre and Wayland merit technologically speaking. XOrg does have its issues, sure, but Wayland is much worse on some grounds. I explained this here before, for real.

  • There are gaming issues regarding Wayland, and it will stay broken unless a complete re-write of Wayland is done essentially. XOrg is perfectly fine for gaming in my experience.

  • The link I posted has proof of how broken Wayland was by design. It was open-source originally, but when IBM took it over (and other things like PipeWire and systemd), they basically attempted to make more profits by making some of it proprietary due to a provision in GPL-2, tivoizing some of these thing, mainly RHEL in particular. Wayland seems to be the same, as it only benefits the big DEs.

  • That's called an abusive ad-hominem. I get these in different forms all the time, so I'm already used to it. Did I not show my thick skin when I spake truth to light?

  • Picom is a compositor that a lot of XOrg/XLibre users tend to install for compositing, or making their desktop look nice. I'm using i3 and Cinnamon (both X, one with WIP Wayland support), and it's had a history of issues. Right now, I have fastcompmgr, wich is a fork of an older version of Picom back when it was Compton.

  • Wayland pushes a lot of breaking changes from what I'm aware of, while X is still stable. These are Wayland devs who are projecting what they're doing onto people who use XOrg/XLibre.

  • Basically, take Xorg, improve security and usability, but don't go the Wayland route and break almost everything that requires certain permissions.

  • Nice ad-hominem.

  • I've had a wonderful time with XLibre, actually. Granted, Picom is broken (it always was, to be fair about it), though I figured that out real quick.

  • What you're doing is calling for me to choose a side, instead of being neutral. I'm going based upon technical merit, not so much political merit. I don't even care for politics that much, considering I've been neutral on Lemmy.

  • As far as I'm aware, that was already a thing somewhat with XOrg. It may have been in alpha state, but it was something. Wayland is more broken with it from what I've read on the issue.

  • That's not the point I'm trying to make. Did you read the bottom line, where I talked about technical merit, not political merit? Being apolitical (neutral) is actually the best you can do for something like this.

  • I've going through the Odin Project for web development. Maybe it may cover that.
