There will be enough people asking this as a joke, but I am very serious. Is it actually time to move on from X11 for everyone?
I have been using linux since a couple months after Linus put the first bits of code on an ftp. I have been mainlining it since 1999 and it has been my entire career since 2009.
I have been through all the iterations. The svsV's, the runits, the systemd's. And while I don't enjoy a ton of change I did get over it for all of these and still feel 'at home'.
But for wayland? I have never even tried. I just see everyone saying you are fucked if you have X or Y hardware, or if you require A or B legacy workflows.
Is NOW really the time for old codgers to give it a serious go?
My friends and I are hosting a Linux and FOSS group chat to have some casual chat, help, and anything related to the topic really. We chose this platform to chat on to keep a privacy preserving way to engage with one another.
Alright. Haha, I filter out Big Tech and far-right shit on Mastodon 😛 It's probably because of that. And if some far-right person starts to chat/talk to me, I often ignore him/her.
This 7 inch mini-laptop with an Intel N100 chip sells for $250 and up
Netbooks may have gone out of fashion years ago, but a handful of Chinese PC makers continue to crank out cheap, tiny laptops with hardware that’s just good enough for basic tasks… sometimes by stuffing newer components into older models.
Case in point? The X-Plus Piccolo Series71 is a mini-laptop with a 7 inch display, an Intel N100 Alder Lake-N processor and 16GB of RAM. It also has a […]
You do realise Iran is direclty supplying weapons to Russia that are used against Ukraine. Did you really expect for Ukraine to side with Iran here? It seems a lot of people are forgetting what a shitty country Iran actually is ...
Israel also supplied Drones to Russia after the Crimea invasion, didn't join sanctions and as reported by an Ukrainian official demanded Ukraine to surrender behind closed doors.
Now with the US getting itself dragged into another Iraq style war by Israel, Ukraine could suffer in two major ways:
Western military aid will be cut short in favor of Israel and US
The rising energy prices will lead to Russia's strained warchest to replenish and could even lead to EU countries easing sanctions to buy oil and gas from Russia again.
Ukraine is being played by the US and Israel but either plays along because Zelensky is high on Zionism or because Ukraine by now is owned by the US and he has to say everything Trump wants him to say. Either way this is bad for the Ukrainian people and it is delusional to think that anyone in the West would feel emboldened now to bomb Russia.
Israel also supplied Drones to Russia after the Crimea invasion, didn't join sanctions and as reported by an Ukrainian official demanded Ukraine to surrender behind closed doors.
This is clear whataboutism. Iran and Israel can both be bad. Ukraine wants max pressure on the Russian war machine. So they cheer the weakening of a Russian military supplier. They also probably figure that if America is itching to fight again, it might as well help them out. They also probably sense the news cycle further shifting away from Ukraine and are trying to bring themselves into the conversation.
This right here is why I've always laughed at the concept of "energy independence" through domestic oil extraction. The US produces much more oil than it uses. The oil coming out of the straight of Hormuz is not coming to the US. However, oil is a global commodity and the price goes up or down for everyone.
Ultimately, it's not the technology that injures people, it's the person operating it. An increase in numbers cycling means an increase in idiots cycling. I'm not sure there's much that can be done about this, to be honest. I'm not sure that legislation is the answer. It's not like traffic laws have eradicated car accidents or dangerous driving. Perhaps we should be at least grateful that idiots only have the power of an e-bike at their disposal and not a car.
As an aside, why is there so much clamour for speed limiters in e-bikes, but not in cars? I can't think of a good reason why car speeds aren't mechanically capped.
I can't think of a good reason why car speeds aren't mechanically capped.
There are countries that limit the top speed of cars. Japanese motorcycles used to be limited (still are?). Unfortunately, these limits are many times faster than would be needed to obliterate a pedestrian. I think cars should include some kind of dynamic governor that limits speed in certain areas. City governments could put out maps of the city center which is capped at 30km/h for example. The car's gps would know it's in that region and reduce the cars acceleration in that region. This would drastically cut down pedestrian deaths but there's no political will behind directly intruding on people driving. Plus it would get messy with edge cases. What happens if a highway goes through downtown and my car thinks I'm a block over for a second while I'm going highway speeds?
I've seen the post about Hyprland Premium go a bit viral and people don't seem to understand fully what we're doing.
There is a reason no pages link to the account. subdomain, because it's a work in progress, after all. That's why wording is a bit lacking, that's why registrations are closed.
Anyways, here are some key takeaways:
Yes, it's real
It's the official website. I did not get hacked.
Hyprland is not going closed source
It says that in the first sentence on the page. No paid features, beta branches, etc. We continue development as always.
Why money
I need something to eat too. Once I end university, if I can't make this my full-time job, I will have to severely decrease my contributions in favor of a real job. If this gets us somewhere, it will be only with benefits to you, the users. If I get enough money to hire another guy to help me work on Hyprland full time, I will.
Forums:
Already on forum.hypr.land. To log in, you need a Hyprland Account, that's why we haven't "fully" launched them yet.
"Premium" Forums:
Additional categories on the same forum for premium subscribers - these include premium support (where you get answers from me instead of the community at large), Q&A with me, and some banter chats.
Desktop Experience:
Free desktop experience: Dotfiles provided by us, with one-click installs and updates.
Premium desktop experience: Same as above, but with more customization options. (dotfile customizations, e.g. "bar on what side", "what button where", etc, not Hyprland features)
"Further premium services":
A general catch-all clause if any premium services come out in the future, they will most likely just be a part of the premium subscription. This might be dotfile sync, or other ideas. We don't know yet, that's why we didn't say.

That's actually on point for a university student. Probably young. Doesn't have experience running a business. I wouldn't be surprised if they struggle to get this off the ground without making fierce critics out of hyprland users.
I'd guess the vague idea is about something like a graphical configuration ui (web or local) and maybe even personal support writing dotfiles for you. I have my doubts that will generate enough revenue, but good luck.
For me the most effective tip has been, don't spend time in bed/bedroom other than for sleeping, that way your body will take the cue from your surroundings and recognize it's sleep time.
It's interesting how different people are. For me if I don't spend time reading or gaming or browsing stuff in a place, I just won't go there to sleep either - I ended up sleeping on the sofa for over five years because of it. But I am autistic so that messes with stuff like this
Everyone with extra outdoor space to spare, call your local beekeepers and see if they will put a colony on your property. It helps the local plants and wildlife, and they'll do all the work in maintaining them. They just need volunteers to offer up space.
Also, talk to your local government about reducing the types of pesticides available for non-commercial purposes.
Honeybees generally stay away from human activity. If you have a lot of flowers in your area, and big open spaces, they'll just stick to the flowers and away from your house. They're also unlikely to sting you unless you go to the hive and start messing with it and they don't recognize you.
La nostra protesta a Venezia contro Jeff Bezos. Un gigantesco striscione è apparso in Piazza San Marco per contestare il business inquinante del CEO di Amazon.
TL;DR: Venice exists in its current form (canal city on an ever sinking atoll) not because of climate change, and not because of some fishing village put their backs into it for hundreds of years, but because of money. LOTS, and lots of money from a shipping/trade boom a very long time ago.
The fact that Bezos built his obscene wealth on shipping and international commerce, just makes this even more appropriate in a gross kind of way. Like he's deliberately connecting himself to Venice's history, and everything that implies.
Talk about a gross oversimplification. Venice grew out of mosquito infested lagoon due to necessity. The Venetian people were driven into the lagoon multiple times over centuries as a means of protection from Germanic invasions in the 7th century. They capitalized on shipping and trade just like any other population would do and used those riches to make their citizens lives better. What would you have expected them to do? Turn away from the money spice trading and Mediterranean shipping traffic brought them because it would make them too rich? Because again, they were a people used to fleeing into a mosquito infested lagoon when their farming population was invaded by multiple armies.
For that reason, comparing an entire cultural population like Venice to a singular person is a false equivalency. Bezos hasn't used his shipping fortune to enrich anyone but himself, but at least Venetian royalty built buildings and public spaces for their population.
"We're looking at doing something where in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people that they hire, and let them have responsibility, because we can't put the farms out of business, and at the same time, we don't want to hurt people that aren't criminals," Trump told reporters.
Yep. Keep them as slaves. Or very close to it. It's so obvious. Due to everything that's happening the immigrants will be in fear and desperation. They'll work for below minimum wage in horrid conditions and be too afraid to do anything about it.
I mean, I only worked one season with migrant laborers, so you may have more experience...
But a lot just aren't gonna come here this season. They don't need us, at least not as much as we need them. If anything I'd expect all this shit to drive up their wages.
Quick edit:
There's a misconception farm work is "unskilled", it's not. So the vets stay out and we get less experienced workers who do the job slower, and for a higher hourly to deal with the risk and uncertainty.
So both per hour wages and amount of hours needed are gonna go up.
Shits still going to become substantially more expensive.

A lot of games are going to work without you having to do anything and some will need some tinkering. In that case, protondb.com/ will be your best friend, telling you exactly what you need to do to get things running.
That being said, some games simply can't be run under Linux. They might work in the future as compatibility improves but some won't. If it's an issue for you, you might want to dual boot windows as a workaround.
Good thing about the distro he chose is that pretty much every game will run fine. I love bazzite. Two months on it now and I haven’t even had to open the terminal or download a single driver. It’s definitely been my go to recommendation for anyone looking to leave windows and build a gaming PC.
I’ve seen some folks complain about it size, but it’s like 8 or 9gb. Small price to pay if you ask me for how turnkey it is. Besides storage is cheap now.

Especially when you consider Windows is like 20-30GB
Yeah I think people are just kind of used to how small some distros be and eventually it stops being a game of how much space can I save and more like dogma lol.
I mean even if you’ve got some tiny machine with only 128gb you’re still talking less than 10% of the machine vs. upwards of 25%

How should unity be created? By tolerating everything or by surpressing everything in public?
Both are possible. How should the choice be made which one to use?
