That's why I linked to waylandx, not xwayland. I agree that getting rid of X is retarded, and that wayland is not a fit replacement.

There are well-intentioned people who write code using the newest API (as that's usually the right thing to do) thus good programs that require wayland start popping up, that's what waylandx is for. There are also severely misguided folks who drop X like KDE; I don't use KDE myself thus I can't comment on the details.

It looks like X will indeed die due to lack of maintenance, but that day is not yet close. And wayland is not working reliably enough yet even if you don't need remote access.

Perhaps waylandx could help? Might not work for a whole desktop, though.

There are apps and there are apps. Slack can OOM with mere 128GB, it worked stable on 256GB though. On the other hand, there are playable and fun 4K games.

Well, that's why OP didn't call them "osties de tabarnak".

Because this got raised this Monday as a blocker to merging their newest bits to the kernel. If a driver requires both kernel and userspace parts, and no open source userspace part exists, the driver is not allowed into the kernel (see: nVidia).

This requirement was met when Gaudi 1 and Gaudi 2 were upstreamed, but the discontinuance means Gaudi 3 can't go in. Unlike CPU support which Intel prepares years before general availability of the hardware, GPU drivers tend to get upstreamed long after. And some bean counter noticed that all the revenue comes from the proprietary driver, thus they decided to cut the open source one...

Current AI chips.

This article proves that Amazon is an untrusted source, and you need to install books from third parties as they don't get to access the 'Net.

I for one use a non-Amazon reader that doesn't have any kind of network access at all: the books go over an USB cable or over 15x11mm floppies. Try to hijack it...

That's a long sentence that's not understandable by the target audience and too long to serve as a title.

I'd say just: "Polar bears evolve for warming climate faster than expected".

Every single use of the word "capitalism" means the poster spews propaganda rather than logic. The word has become useless.

There are two main definitions:
  * the most used one (by several orders of magnitude!): "any economic system other than communism, including even those that don't use money at all (like early kibbutzim), except for neanderthals ("primitive communism")". This meaning has been used in communist countries to refer to the outside world; we had entire universities devoted to such concepts.
  * free market economy. This one would exclude eg. current USA as they have devolved into corporatism. Stuff like bailouts is an anathema to free market. Free market has its flaws (see eg. late 19th century USA) but makes most of current USA ills impossible: high insulin prices? New makers will pop up in months! As long as the govt deals with monopolies and fraud, it's a sane system.

But here... the pokemon card market is currently saner than stocks.

Come on, just 2nd or 3rd? You can do better, next year we'll be #1 again!

Or even better, 3:4. I use a central 16:10 30" (2560:1600) plus two 3:4 24" (1200:1600) on the sides. An useless ratio 16:9 on the top sits mostly unused.

Why would a grocery chain pull out if they can drop some products and give that shelf space to the rest?

Releasing a database of personal info? Shame on you! But we have laws against that...

That's too much future tech, but for now -- why not install a titanium plate? At least it won't cause rejection issues, and functionality wise is no worse than current transplants. And, instead of on-lookers getting revulsed, you'll get looks of awe. Severely disfigured wetware makes people say they offer compassion, but in reality they're severely disgusted and feel an urge to distance themselves from you -- because biologically, looking ill means something potentially transmissible, which our instincts try to protect us from. A visibly artificial face avoids all that.

Assuming equal regulatory burden, fission power is cheapest, not most expensive. For example, for an equivalent safety level, coal plants would need to capture every bit of reaction products (which currently are vented into the air), store them safely, and place somewhere where they'd no longer cause harm if released. Which for combustion products means forever. The plan itself would need decade-long studies wrt its localisation, many rounds of votes among the regional population -- etc. And throw in another 10x cost factor of bureaucratic costs.

The reason? Completely banning nuclear power was unfeasible politically, but adding layers after layers of "safety" was easy to be voted in.

Result? Hardly any new plants have been built. A good part of existing installed power dates back to the first generation -- which was indeed unsafe (as expected of any new technology). All three plants that failed have been built in the '60s.
