Nazi germany came into being a thing because post great war was massively hard on germans in large part to the treaty of versailles completely crippling germany’s economy.
ofc there were other factors like the massive propaganda machine, Germany was effectively reduced to a slave state dealt a massive blow to the pride of the german populace which was fairly easy to turn young men militant alone, even disregarding the disastrous effects to the German economy.
I am quite disappointed at the lack of transparency regarding this.
can’t say I have experienced that. I use a myriad of modern but lower end systems and stuff like dinit still uses less resources and is in turn better for the speed and responsiveness of my systems
this is pretty much how it works in some cases, you need to port from one protocol to another, or to a different system altogether.
I’m pretty sure everyone has settled by now, Personally I hate systemd. It’s slow, relatively resource intensive, poorly designed in many aspects.
but as an init and service manager it’s the best. Though I do have to say dinit does get pretty close for me now.
I personally use Arch on my desktop and artix on my laptop. I want Systemd to die just as much as the next Systemd hater, but unfortunately I don’t believe we have anything better yet.
Yay, another set of protocols that will just lead to more and more fragmentation.
You do acknowledge one issue with Wayland, probably the biggest issue with Wayland, but then fail to acknowledge the second biggest issue with Wayland being fragmentation.
Solve one issue by making another issue worse.
yeah, that could indeed happen I suppose, didn’t think of that. Though I wonder if because of EME, an alternative drm solution could be viably implemented.
this has been a bit of a meme, but if you wanted to look at XL as extra large, then that could refer to the max resolution which is far great. I’ve seen people refere to it as “extra long-term” but I think the real reason is they just wanted to fuck with us
like what? I can kinda understand them not cooperating but how on earth could they lock them out of features?
I don’t even think this is the case, google does a lot pretty much everywhere. one example is one of the things they are pushing for is locally run AI (gemini, stable diffusion etc.) to run on your gpu via webgpu instead of needing to use cloud services, which is obviously privacy friendly for a myriad of reasons, in fact, we now have multiple implementations of LLMs that run locally in browser on webgpu, and even a stable diffusion implementation (never got it to work though since my most beefy gpu is an arc a380 with 6gb of ram)
they do other stuff too, but with the recent craze push for AI, I think this is probably the most relevant.
this is from the google research team, they contribute a LOT to many foss projects. Google is not a monolith, each team is made of often very different folk, who have very different goals
I remeber testing parrot a few years ago, it was quite nice back when I tested it, had some real cringe marketing back then, way worse then it has now by quick glance, that being said, it had some real good OOB configs for security stuff and some neat tools. wouldn’t mind trying it again sometime when I find the time.
color management is actually super hard to do, so making sure it’s done right is very important, so this is one of the few times it actually makes sense. I mean, just take a look at windows, it still looks like shit over there.
Which browsers are better on low end systems and is there a trade-off for optimising for lower end systems?
Chromium has preformed better on every single one of my systems, from core2duo and pentium linux machines, Intel Atom machines, Old arm devices. Chromium performs better in the forms of
They actually don’t
They do, in their 2022 report, mozilla foundation and corporations had a large amount of both total assets and liquid cash. I’ll let the financial statement do the talking here
They have the resources, they just actively refuse to use them for firefox.

They make lots of money, Mozilla publishes their tax returns. Between mozilla nonprofit and mozilla corp they are very healthy in funds. In 2021 mozilla foundation, and the corporates it owns, had 1.1 billion USD in assets
There are lots of ways I could see it happening. Firefox is still heavy on resources on low end systems. GPU is heavy, it has poor hwdec support on things like v4l2 last time I tried it (though they do at least support it now). They don’t push the envelope in any way. Firefox STILL doesn’t have JXL support despite safari supporting it (various forks of firefox support it thanks to patches firefox refuses to look at). HEVC support when platform support is available would be nice too. And these are just the issues off the top of my head.
What to prioritize? all of it. They have enough resources to do so.
I stopped donating a long time ago, mozilla has proved time and time again to squander it. Firefox is on the brink of death despite having a large amount of funding available, and they keep focusing on other trash endeavors.
I was going to read this, but when it starts with this… yeah I’ll pass.
How does Linux start a process …and how to ptrace the entry point and m3ss w1th da stack.
So many people forget that the Ukrainian Russian conflict never really ended, the idea that it was an unprovoked invasion is absurd, (and no, before someone decides to make a braindead comment, provoked does not mean justified.) There have been many leaked videos pre-invasion of violence towards both sides, and neither side made a proper effort to actually quell it, only surface level bullshit inorder to take the "moral ground:
