War is waged between governments and organizations. The death of civilians is an unavoidable side effect.
I think both Israel and Hamas need to calm tf down so that they can actually negotiate peace terms; but that ain’t happening so long as people send either side weapons.
What was the Fourth Reich?
I use WezTerm. Highly configurable and supports every image display protocol under the sun.
From a developer’s standpoint, one of the bigger pain points of Wayland is window embedding.
If you want to embed from an external process, the only way to do this is to have your application expose its own Wayland compositor and then have the embedded process use that Wayland compositor. No one has made a library for this as of yet.
If you want to embed from the same process, it shouldn’t be too difficult; you just need a wl_subsurface
. However, this doesn’t work too well with most GUI toolkits.
Wayland is just radically different from every other windowing API, and I’m hoping that the GUI toolkits can adapt.

This is the biggest pitfall of Linux: Microsoft doesn’t make Office for Linux and the compatibility layers we do have don’t work well enough.
There are alternatives like LibreOffice, however, don’t expect them to be perfectly compatible with Office.
Everything else you listed is perfectly fine: Most browsers ship Linux versions, and those can be used for PDF viewing.
I’d recommend familiarizing yourself with the Linux command line, as most advanced system configuration has to be done through the CLI.
In addition, remember to do your research before asking for help. Good resources include the system manual pages, Arch Wiki, and of course, Google.
As for choice of distro, I’ll recommend Fedora, as it’s reasonably up to date with software and has a nice GUI for dealing with updates.
“It’s just a prank bro” taken way too far, huh?
This one got me
well, if that’s true I should be allowed to email NVIDIA and ask for their driver code
well, Wine does support WoW64, but the way it’s implemented requires you to install both 32 and 64 bit Wine.
Alice and Bob are friends at ${university_name}
. At ${date_time}
they cross paths.
Alice: Hi, I want to tell you a TCP joke.
Bob: Sure, I’m ready to hear the TCP joke.
Alice: Alright,I am going to tell you the TCP joke.
Alice: Here’s the actual joke. It’s hilarious.
Bob: laughs hysterically
Alice: I’m glad you liked my joke.
Alice: Alright, that was the TCP joke.
Bob: Thanks for telling me about it.
Bob: So, that’s it I guess?
Alice: Yeah, that’s about all I wanted to tell you.
Alice and Bob part ways and run off to their next classes.
IntelliJ for Java and Rider for C#. VSCode for everything else.
The way I see it, a Linux distribution:
When I used Ubuntu, I had to install the .debs off of Brother’s site by myself. They provide .deb/.rpm packages.
once webassembly can directly interface with the DOM I will happily switch to writing my webapps in C++
Fingerprint sensor stopped working
File an issue to libfprint, your fingerprint reader probably isn’t supported yet.
Would it be possible to do a certificate-based authentication scheme?
The idea is that Lemmy instances could collaboratively maintain API keys that grant access to posting.
And said trusted friend’s tow truck would need to have a display in the window saying “Certified Safe Tow Truck”
dammit which XKCD was it
