Not to mention, it’s a standard now, and the old Supercharger protocol is being phased out in favor of another standardized one (I forget which). Further development done on their chargers from here on out is going to be done by a consortium of companies rather than in-house anyway.

Somebody needs to get on deduplicating UTF8 ASAP

I’m fairly confident that it’s a change in Flatpak itself rather than any one specific Flatpak, since all of my apps now use the same new screen sharing interface. Difference is that it actually works in those apps.

Screen sharing with Discord no longer works, but I think that’s from an update to Flatpak because it was also happening at the end of 39’s lifecycle.

That’s reasonable. I pulled that info from Wikipedia, and I don’t speak Japanese, so I just was going off that.

That’s great and all, but for those of us that do speak English and are expecting certain grammatical norms, eschewing those norms, regardless of the validity of the reason, makes it significantly harder for us to parse.

The question mark is not a rare piece of punctuation, either. It’s used in China. It’s used in Japan. It’s used in Vietnamese, every Romance language I’ve ever encountered, and every Germanic language I’ve ever encountered. I’m not saying I understand all those languages, but I can certainly recognize when someone’s asking a question in one because the question mark remains the same.

This is a piss-poor excuse and reeks of the attitude of one who’s never encountered a language that doesn’t use the Latin Alphabet even in passing. Oh yeah, by the way, it’s called the Latin Alphabet, not the English Alphabet.

Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to. I’ve never successfully turned on hardware acceleration when running Windows guests, and I don’t think Gnome Boxes even exposes the option.

It’s got really good hardware graphics acceleration.

Both of your comments hurt in that way only the truth is capable of hurting.

I actually disagree with point 1 to an extent. The startup work for such a machine would indeed require a lot of effort, but once that groundwork is in place, wouldn’t that make it easier to maintain momentum and release a successor?

Not much, dollar, how about you?

God, what I wouldn’t give for a standalone VR headset with the Steam Deck’s internals…mostly because I just want them to shove a whole bunch of support behind getting VR to work right on Linux.

Phone screens aren’t 16:9 anymore though, so they’d probably end up having to cut down a really big phone screen (like 9" or so) or just make it custom.

It changes the question from “why not use duck” to “what does duck really add to bing”

Then they either have some exemption or end up benefiting from the law in some indirect but significant way.

Microsoft just wants you to have a better job, obviously!

I’m not super concerned with performance or features other than maybe a decent camera. I prefer to do anything more difficult than sending messages on my laptop. The A54 has the same sized battery as the S23 Ultra, but it uses a much more power efficient chip that isn’t all that much slower, so it seems like a worthy tradeoff to me.

In my world we prioritize one. And that not the one.

Then I’m really glad I don’t live in that world.

If you can’t see that writing readable code is part of the means to that end, I don’t know what to tell you. If nobody can maintain the codebase because it’s a mess of spaghetti logic and 20-deep dependency trees (I’m looking at you, every JavaScript project I’ve ever seen), the end product is going to suffer while also making every single engineer working on it want to leave.

This is not a controversial take in professional software development.

Funny, it sure seems like “maintainability should not be a priority” is a pretty controversial take to me.

What an utterly blind, self-centered view. Write good, readable code so you can actually maintain it and so your coworkers don’t want to kill you.
