  • I dont see why, tbh. This feature is only needed by users of tiling WMs with (super)ultrawide monitors. A niche in a niche. Normal floating WMs work fine with ultrawide monitors, you are constantly resizing and moving windows around anyway and simple snapping takes care of the rest. Windows 11 even lets you snap exactly into the setup described above.

    Also, there are good plugins for supporting tiling for GNOME (I know its in PopOS, not sure how to get it into the normal one) , KDE, and even Windows


  • One thing that has been stopping me from switching to Wayland is that I have a 32:9 screen and usually virtually divide into a 16:9 in the middle and then an 8:9 on each side. This works well enough on Xorg.

    I would love to see this implemented in Hyprland and I opened an issue for it a while back. The maintainer says that the workload seems too large and he is uninterested. I’ve racked up quite a few upvotes though and it seems like quite a lot of people would be interested in this.

    I’ve glanced over the code and I think it shouldn’t be extremely difficult to add a layer of indirection between workspaces and monitors as an initial PoC. Dont get me wrong, this will still take more than a week to get running which is why I sadly havent found the time to do this myself.

    If you could maybe look into it there may be possibilities to split up the work a bit. I dream of a world where you can dynamically add and remove virtual outputs and it’s all animated - very long way to go until then.



  • The issues here are largely with the EU which stops it from being sold in stores. For now, possession is legalised and you can have all previous arrests made because you were carrying up to 25g permanently removed from your record. It also legal to grow at home.

    In this sense, it is legal for personal use but not for commercial use. To get access to weed, they will be rolling out “cannabis social clubs” in summer in which you need to be a member to be allowed to buy weed. These clubs are not allowed to make a profit. There is a plan to later do some tests with commercial usage but its not clear where that is on the roadmap.

    It will be interesting to see if this will have any effects on the EU. I can imagine if more countries want to support the legalization that some hurdles can be removed there.



  • I feel like there are too many exceptions to this rule. Maybe dont get the cheapest but you dont need to spend a lot to have a very good:

    • Cast iron pan
    • Carbon steel pan
    • Enameled cast iron pot (seriously, look it up, I see people saying how much they love their Le Creuset all the time but I got one from KitchenAid of all brands at 50 euros in my local supermarket)
    • Baking tray
    • Cooling rack
    • Baking bowls
    • Spatula of any kind
    • Peeler
    • Electric mixer
    • Kitchen scale

    I could go on but I believe Ive made my point.


  • I use the term rather loosely so it’s hard to say because it depends on the setting and how pedantic you want to be.

    In a continuous setting (time, for example), you will usually see the derivative of a function f(t) being denoted as a df(t)/dt. In some cases it would also be written as f’(t). Engineers are pretty much always dealing with functions across time so they added another notation which is simply a dot over a variable. E.g. if x is your position in space then ẋ is your velocity (the derivative over time). You can add another dot if you want your acceleration (the second derivative over time = the derivative of the velocity).

    The counterpart of a derivative is the integral which is always denoted by ∫f(t)dt.

    The discrete case is a bit more tricky because these things arent that well defined in these cases. People dont seem to mind if you go with the next best thing. The derivative is the difference between steps (Im not aware of a notation for this) and for the integral you would use a sum ∑.

    Note that even this wall of text doesnt cover all of it but I hope it gets the point across.




  • But that was the point of the DLCs. Fans complained that there werent any truly challenging parts to the game. So you could opt into Nightmare King Grimm if you wanted a hard boss right. Normal Grimm is pretty easy by comparison.

    Still wasnt enough so you got Godseeker mode with pure vessel and true radiance - you cant find these if you aren’t into hard boss fights. Path of Pain was introduced for a hard platform level. Doing these things gives you nothing so it’s completely optional.

    I think this is a very fair approach to difficulty. I love hard metroidvanias but wouldnt want to exclude anyone from Hollow Knight (just give me something optional and difficult somewhere).


  • I personally wasn’t doing any content creation beforehand so I only started with the Affinity products.

    For me, I find it easy enough to use, even as a beginner. If I can’t find out how to do something even after googling for “How to do x in Affinity” I can just Google for how to do it in the Adobe version and usually it’s really easy to find the corresponding tool in Affinity.

    If you’re a pro you probably have very specific demands for your creation programs which may mean that you need to stick with Adobe. But if you aren’t aware of any demands you have, Affinity fits the bill easily.

    I’ll try to remember to check them out closer to the day

    You could also get the trial version for a month for testing it out






  • I’m actually having similar issues. Seemingly at random, my PC will freeze up due to lack of memory and killing Firefox fixes it. Im also sure it must be an extension causing it.

    Here are my extensions, let me know which of these you are using and maybe we can narrow it down from that:

    • Neat URL
    • uBlock Origin
    • Return YouTube Dislikes
    • Firefox Multi-Account Containers
    • SponsorBlock
    • Vimium
    • Decentraleyes
    • Enhancer for YouTube
    • Privacy Possum
    • I don’t care about cookies
    • First Party Isolation
    • Startpage Privacy Protection


  • Aside from the technical problems you mentioned, it also solves the convenience problem of how to distribute libraries. C/C++ is really bad here because they dont have an integrated management tool. If you want to distribute over Linux package managers, then you will have to package it for every distro, paying attention to best practices and figuring out your dependencies for each one, you’ll also have to put it on the VS package repo for developers using Windows and possibly also support a Windows installer (and uninstaller) for those that dont use VS.

    The alternative is to upload to a single repo and be done.
