I have this problem in most cars, but it's because I am very tall, and most of the height is in my trunk. My arms are not especially long, so if the column isn't telescoping I generally have to sit pretty well upright to have decent ergonomics. And you also want to be sitting upright for the lap belt to work properly, if you're laid back you have the submarining problem.
Riiiight. How convenient. So if you didnt agree with his views youd avoid all GNU software would you?
If I wanted to use software with other licenses, I have other options. Some people even buy proprietary software!
Oh, and you seem to be obsessed with DEI
I see you haven't read the readme on the repo.
I'd be lying if I said I understood all of it, but then I never claimed it had to be thrown away. What I understand is that I've been using X11 for decades, and programs I was using when I started using it will still work with it. And I've used it on machines with only megabytes and megahertz, and not too many of either. The least maybe had 4MB and 16MHz? And even that could run R5.
Maybe Wayland will make sense eventually, I don't know. It hasn't worked well for me. It also has dumb intentional limitations that make me think it's always going to be a PITA until it gets forked, so there's likely substantial chaos ahead for it before it gets good.
Who gives a fuck about his politics?
When people complain about DEI they are usually complaining that they are not being permitted to act like a butthole.
Plenty if people think RMS has weird views but we still use his software.
I use his license and software which comes under his license by choice because I agree with his views and the results are good, which is one reason I agree with them.
There is still plenty of stuff to do to improve X11, and the ecosystem. The people working on it just decided they would rather do a clean sheet implementation of a system they thought should work a different way. It turns out X was designed to do certain things and evolved to do certain things in certain ways because they were the least worst way to do them at the time, not on a humbug.
why is finding the leak so difficult? Is it because there are layers between the inner and outer hulls that a leak can be in one spot on the inside, and show in a completely different area on the outside... and the leak can be diffused on either side so it can't be pin pointed?
Yes, there are multiple layers and also other stuff in the way. Also, the leak can just not be easy to find on the outside at all. The part I don't really get is why they can't tell whether or not the leak is affecting other modules, but at a guess it's because the leak is slow and there's variation from thermal cycling and such that makes it difficult to monitor losses that small.
So when Lindsey starts reading from her AmEx-approved script, callers are infuriated by what they perceive to be another machine.
If she's accurately executing the programmers' script, I'd say she is a machine. Somebody port Doom to her!
Except for a few minor differences in how the windows are managed (roll-up is not available on native wayland windows, sadly), I cannot tell which is which.
By that, do you mean minimizing to just a title bar? That's a weird thing to not work, given that it's basically just not drawing a window.
Whoops, that's fair. They went concentrix, concentrix, some other employer unnamed. I wonder if it was lifted directly from TFA or if the "editor" mangled it. I guess we'll never know because of the paywall fuckery.
Sure it can be done but there are few experts that are around anymore to understand the nuances of it.
Those people decided it would be too hard so they did Wayland instead. Except now it's 15 years later and Wayland still doesn't do what X did, and the performance is worse as well. So they proved themselves wrong, but they're still married to their bad decision.
I see nothing in TFS that says she works for a contractor.
It's at the top.
And how do you know she works in debt-collection? I don't see that in TFS either.
Because her script is authorized by a payment processor, which is also in TFS.
Your comment tells us that you either cannot read or didn't try to read TFS. Which is it, and why do you imagine someone who didn't even read TFS has anything valuable to contribute to this conversation?
Definitely not (firing 90% within a couple weeks without adjusting internal processes and such for it beforehand was dumb, but they're still running fine
They had a lot of problems when they did that, and until I got kicked off of Twitter for anti-Leon memes, I was noting that they had a lot more continuing problems than before that. I don't use the site now that I'm not allowed to be logged into it, so I haven't kept up, but I certainly haven't heard that it's great now.
Anybody who doesn't have their head in the sand or are a political influencer knows the serious and very real grievances about DEI
Is your problem with promotion of diversity, equity, or inclusion?
Sarah, who works in benefits fraud-prevention for the US government
No, she doesn't. As TFS says above before it contradicts itself in this way, she works for a contractor, and this is the fundamental problem. These contractor script readers do not as a rule understand how anything works, and in the most extreme cases, they would not be allowed to explain it to you even if they did. The federal government should never be allowed to use contractors to collect a debt. This only makes the process less efficient, because the contractor has to make a profit. No one should be allowed to make a profit off of debt recovery period, but especially, they should never be allowed to make a profit off of collecting a government debt. That's especially offensive.
The X.Org server has more recent patches; however, the last meaningful main update was 21.1 in October 2021
That update fell what, 11 years after Wayland development began? What happened? I thought Wayland was supposed to solve all the problems so nobody would have to touch that icky, unmaintainable X11 code any more. I had it on good authority (the same people everyone is trusting to develop an alternative to X11) that nobody could reasonably keep X11 working.
With that said, IME the people who use DEI as a bad word are not serious people, so I expect XLibre to go nowhere.
The absent ones are always at fault.
