in case you have not solved it, it’s easy on Sway. man sway-output (kinda) tells you how to do it. Here’s an example sway config line:

output HDMI-1 res --custom 1921x1081@61Hz

You can even change CRT timings like front porch, if you want that.

Don’t worry, the whole thing is that GNU boot contains proprietary firmware for testing coreboot. The only distros affected are GNU Boot and Canoe Boot. Upstream coreboot has that testing firmware there intentionally so it’s silly to call it “affected”.

FSF is doing great stuff for the world but I think FOSS is kinda held back by being led by nerds that are “a bit different”. (edit: I mean that with respect. These nerds are surely nice people and great coders but imo not great philosophical leaders)

It’s pretty good with adaptive sync and nVidia Reflex otherwise it’s terrible. Reflex seems to work on linux too so I guess single player linux gamers will be happy.

Useless blabbering incoming: With that said I am a proud frame generation hater. On its own it effectively halves your frame rate even though the frame counter will say that it doubled it. With Reflex the latency is not “that bad” but still I don’t get why anyone would want that. The reason I want more frames is better responsiveness. I cannot really tell the difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz video. I’ve seen Avatar 2 at high refresh and did not really notice anything (other than that the movie sucked). But I can tell that my mouse feels like it’s sliding on jelly.

Obviously it’s great for the people that like it. I won’t be like the wayland dev who blocked the tearing protocol (aka. just allowing frames to show on screen as soon as they are created) because they did not use it.

Ok thanks for the reply. I will try that. I probably should have noticed the “this branch is 7 commits behind” notice lol.

What do you mean by not being arrested? I would say German police putting a black bag on your head and taking you to their station in the middle of the night is something one could consider an arrest.

I mean their August 2023 blog post was basically “We were busy, sorry for not posting updates.” So considering you can still normally buy and receive a product from them, they are probably busy again. (or don’t want to write blog posts) Which doesn’t mean Pine64 is dead, just that you won’t get updates.

Imo it’s good that they aren’t releasing another useless product but it’s a shame that the Pine Note isn’t available for purchase now that it has matured. Would have been such a cool device.

I think you are confusing “making another fedora fork for a laptop brand” with “porting a booloader to the device” or “writing a driver for the screen”. Simply put you would not be able to use the hardware without the software. Outsourcing it to the community makes the hardware cheaper but the sideeffect is that the software will be crappy even after years of development. For some reason people aren’t very keen on writing the low level stuff.

If you compare the Espruino smart watch to the Pine64 smartwatch, it’s a night and day difference. My guess is that it’s because Espruino handles the low level stuff and let community do the fun stuff, while Pine64 leaves everything on the community. Imo you need a fulltime developer who actually spends time looking in the datasheet and figuring out, how to properly put the PineTime to sleep, not just people who peek into the docs every Saturday.

However, it is important to keep in mind that to my knowledge no one has ever been arrested for running a exit node in a western country.

There links to other occurrences of arrest in the comments.

He is the head of LTT which might be a reason someone hates him. LTT has a track record of “don’t ask questions, just consoom product” reviews. Basically every product gets recommended, which makes the reviews kinda pointless. This has kinda improved after Gamer Nexus’ critique but not really (see Just Josh’s video). Also some wounds cannot be healed like making a sponsored “Gaming at 8K with nVidia” video before the RTX 30 series released even though they could not game at 8K@60Hz or, my personal favourite, comparing the Intel’s (10th gen) bulk CPU prices to AMD’s retail.

He’s in a similar position as Marques Brownlie. They are the most popular reviewers despite/because they make garbage reviews. I used to hate MKBHD for that but I am grown up now. I could see why someone would hate Linus though.

DEs need to embrace tiling functionality and transparent windows (eg. playing a YT video under your LibreOffice window). It’s the only proper way to use a tablet. Obviously KDE’s Windows-like taskbar is a nightmare for tablets but even Android’s “deck of window cards” is crappy for anything that you couldn’t just as well do on a smartphone.

I don’t know how to say it in a polite way but you are annoying. Original commenter stated that they want to keep the politics out to which you answered with a political argument that can basically be translated to “You are stupid”.

I guess you come from some internet political circle where the “My idea is the best and everyone else is dumb” is tolerated because generally these “communities” have common views. But this /c/ is not a place for that. People don’t share a singular opinion here so if everyone acted like you, this fun linux forum would no longer be so fun. Everyone would just crap on each other because each would think their opinion is the best and others are dumb.

I personally come here to relax or something, not get tired by arguments.

I cannot give you any source, unless you want to waste hours of your time watching some car videos. The difference between an n-word pass and rice-pass is what you mean with that. Some secret way of saying the n-word does not change its racist connotation but a ricer by default has nothing to do with race. If you want to be racist, you would have to explicitly specify that you are talking about the owner’s race or the car’s origin or whatever.

The term is so far removed from any malicious origin, that some people wouldn’t even know they should feel offended, unless someone told them they should be.

That’s not normal human behavior. Try to imagine it. 3 people are going down the street. One of them points out that a car on the street is “riced”. Second one tells the third who is of Japanese origin, that he should get offended because of the word’s origin. It would be weird to get offended because someone told you to.

Some of them are. According to wikipedia, it originated as a communist movement but later became a different name for “classic liberal” because American left-wingers “stole” the term “liberal”.

I guess you could argue that classic liberal cannot be conservative because they don’t want to conserve the status quo, they want to go back to some earlier state. But when you present some regulation in front of them, they take the conservative stance - being against it.

On a different note OP hit itself in its confusion, there are definitely libertarian Linux users. Look at Mental Oulaw (anarchist) and Luke Smith. edit: or go to some Odysee comment section. Apart from the crash test dummies who hate Mozilla because “the trannies!!! >:(”, you will find libertarians.

Languages evolve over time. The term “to serve” is derived from the Latin word for “slave”. That does not mean it’s somehow offensive to use the term to describe the job of soldiers.

The modern day “riced” comes from “R.I.C.E” which stands for “race inspired car enhancement”. If you rice a car, it means you put components that look like race car components but are actually just cosmetic. Fake vents, huge spoilers on family cars, exhausts that are optically bigger, etc. The orange Japanese car in the linked article is an example of that. 70s Japan had renown ricing culture so I guess that’s where the R.I.C.E and the racist “rice burner” split.

Nowadays people who use the term “riced” don’t even know that at some point in time it had something to do with Asian cars or bikes. It’s even common to jokingly associate it with the food with the same name to spite other car nerds because you can “um actually” bait someone to correct you that it has nothing to do with food. Which is obviously not true according to the article but if 99 % of people don’t know the racist origin, it’s not an issue at all to use the word.

Tbh it’s the English language that decides what counts as Open Source. Free/Open Source software has been established for decades at this point. It’s good that they changed the name to “Source First”.

I think that better wording would be “the organization that doesn’t believe that foss solves every problem”. For project like immich AGPL is completely fine but for the android keyboard it might not be a good idea to allow Google to use it to abuse their customers.

I don’t think it’s possible to make this project proprietary because FUTO does not own the rights to the code that were made by random contributors on git. Part of the promise was that they won’t change their CLA so it should be fine.

It’s probably a skill issue but don’t really know how to setup desktop streaming. I’ve tried

[[apps]]

title = "Desktop"

[apps.video]

source = "pipewiresrc capture-screen-cursor=true capture-screen=true"

But it just shows black screen.

Actually I want to use the wireguard tunnel regardless because right now I am tunneling VNC through SSH, which is laggy because it’s TCP. But thanks either way.

I guess OP could change the if statement to check if nixos-rebuild is running, not just check for music being played.

`

 music_is_playing=$(pw-cli i all 2>&1 | grep running -q)

  # Only suspend if audio isn't running

  if [ $music_is_playing == 1 ] && ! pidof nixos-rebuild; then

    systemctl suspend

  fi

` But I guess not using the script at all is also an option if putting the PC to sleep is a no-no.

I don’t want to be mean but searching “DNS hostnames” just gives generic AI generated “DNS explained” articles. This answer is helpful only if you already know that mDNS exists.
