redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@programming.dev•A chapter of Linux's history comes to a close as Kubuntu drops X11 support for Wayland8·19 days agowayland is the norm at this point. The distros still on X11 are mostly the slow moving ones, but I would say we are on the trailing end of adoption now overall.
Wayland is still lacking features, and due to its newness also lacking documentation and tools available for X11.
But those are looking like more of a specialty application for X11. The main painpoints are gone.The hardware (gpu) situation is fine to my knowledge, drivers have caught up. 10+ year old Nvidia cards (like a gtx 780) may need nouveau, but not sure if even that is still the case.
Some workflow stuff is just now appearing (like restoring the window positions when a program restarts) or still missing (like some custom input scripting functionality), this also impacts accessibility.
As an example I used to have a script that would input ctrl+pgup/pgdn into the window under my cursor without changing focus, so I could change pages the same way I can scroll in unfocused windows. That was done with some x tools for setting focus and sending keyinputs. It’s possible to input keys with root permission under wayland, but changing focus from a script is not possible to my knowledge.This is all important stuff, but something most people won’t run into, and many more (like me) will accept as a tradeoff for the many advantages of wayland. Doubtless the protocol side will eventually implement apis for all of those missing features, and the tools making use of them will become widely known same as X11 used to be.
On .6 in a post, reloading with the floating action button or by dragging down does not seem to update the age of comments. Quickly closing and reopening the comment section does update the ages correctly.
Not sure about if the refresh fails in general, haven’t tested if newly made comments appear.

Not sure what you mean to ask there, but I gotta say hyprland would make a sick name for a tiling dwm.
redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@programming.dev•New version of X.org X11, Xlibre fork gathers support141·21 days agoHey, there is an entire wayland bad x11 good article hidden in the last 4/5ths of the article!
Anyway, the article seems to argue that “toxic elements within Xorg projects, moles from BigTech, are boycotting any substantial work on Xorg”.
It seems to me that now that wayland has become the clear focus of development, most devs sinply want X11 to remain as a legacy element, not causing unnecessary issues elsewhere, just remaining on lts.
The train has sailed, wayland is the norm and everyone is working on implementing the last leftovers the article is parading in its weird latter half, rather than through much greater efforts achieving worse results in patching up X11.
They should have forked X 10 years ago, when people were still interested in improving it.It being left behind is a logical and fully adequate explanation, arguing eee makes little sense when wayland is clearly a simpler protocol. If you wanted to harm linux or foss, and your plan was the transition to wayland and freezing of X11 development, I would call you stupid.
I don’t see why this fork, and this article, have to get conspiritorial about something this easily explained.
Now that we have the conspiracy crap addressed: wayland defense time
The Reg FOSS desk is nearing 60, […] He doesn’t care about […] high and variable refresh rates, tear-free video,
My fancy new monitor I got in '22 doesn’t work on X11. I’d have to replace my other monitors with matching new ones for a few grand, or keep watching videos and all else at 15fps, getting a headache. If you wanna keep your crt, why not keep an ancient X11, why this fork?
X11 doesn’t support normal modern hardware, my monitor wasn’t even special, it’s just higher fps than my other monitors and 4k.Wayland does not currently allow controlling window position. This means that when you open KiCad, it cannot remember where you last placed your windows.
The window pos remembering api (name made up by me, I forgot the real one) has been finalized, and will be in this or the next KDE version, etc… The wayland people are fixing the criticism faster than the critics can shorten their list of remaining issues.
.
uhhhh… ok that’s all the wayland criticism, 'cause surprise, the last 2/5ths of the article are actually a rant about … gnome? I think?
Something about no more shortcut support or how removing title bars is bad and the gnome disk manager has bad ui.
Idk my shortcuts are better than ever and my title bars were still there last time I checked.
But maybe this “big no-accessibility” is why absolutely no tiling dwms have ever been seen for wayland ever. If you switch to wayland you will have to tile by mouse exclusively, you heard it here first!

Mindboggling they think it’s acceptable to use a platform that limits access to those threads like they own them.

redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•The 1,000,000,000th repository in GitHub has been created! And it's something alright.2·1 month agoNow I see shit again too. The unfortunate author may be torn on what to do.

This issue mentions the name was changed.
Can’t you always attempt uploads until they bypass arbitrary filters and then report-snipe on that?
How would a content-based filter prevent this if the malicious actor simply needs to upload correspondingly more images?I think the sad reality is that the only escape here is scale. Once you have been hit by this attack and been cleared by the 3rd parties, you’d have precedent for when this happens again and should hopefully be placed in a special bin for better treatment.
Scale means you will be fire-tested, and are more likely to receive sane treatment instead of the ai-support special.
Wanted to reorganize my /mnt once and did an rm -r … without unmounting the network share of production.
We have backups now.
Access is also a full “cms” for constructing program interfaces, ui.
I have seen fully fledged programs written in it, and it wasn’t pretty.Dynamics sounds like it is “excel/sql with data analysis strapped on”, where access was “excel/sql with frontpage strapped on”
Interesting. How does it compare to ms Access (in the 90s I guess)?
That’s so new! My stuff still requires version 1.8
