Sadly shade doesn't work current with kwin on Wayland. It's very annoying. Also focus follows mouse is quirky on Wayland. Other than that KDE on Wayland is pretty fantastic.

Been using the Claude CLI the last few weeks and it has definitely been a great assistant in working with Qt 6, C++, and QML. The CLI interface is one of the best interfaces I have evey seen, and it's native use of markdown is ideal. I am still writing 90% of the code but Claude's a great way to get information on some aspects of the library that I'm not as familiar with. I'm not ready to set it loose with nothing but a specifications document yet.

I've had it port some code from OpenGL to QRhi (similar to vulkan), and I had it fix some issues in another QtQuick project relating to Android permissions. And it was also able to fix some QML layout issues I was having. I'm not ready to vibe code anything, nor am I ready to let it do anything to my code it wants without reviewing it, but it sure is a good assistant coder and researcher. At least for my hobby programming.

If they overpower the humanity trying to stop them from doing those things, yes.

I'm amused by those who imagine that the laws of physics can be defied merely by looking the other way. It makes me ponder how unbelievably moronic humanity is, how pathetic, and how deserving of what it is come.

Indeed. Replacing half a century of collective experience with a new language in an entirely different and far less tested environment to write low level code, where all the memory safety features have to be disabled at all the same failure points where C and assembly have been used... for reasons.

So, in other words, it really isn't any better at bare metal development than C/C++. If you have to direct memory and hardware manipulation in unsafe blocks, then really, it's just the same thing as doing it in C.

Because they grow very well there. The dry climate makes disease much less of an issue. This leads to higher yields and cheaper fruit in the stores. Of course it comes with externalities like subsidization of the use of a scarce and dwindling resource.

I have no interest in a giant 4K monitor for my desk. But a 24" 4k monitor would look quite nice. I would want my font sizes to be the same as they are now, just sharper. I find sharper, higher resolution text easier to read as my eyes get older, than blurry text at the same size.

I was just thinking that although my eyes are getting older, I still can see the screen okay. Then I glanced up at the url bar in my browser and noticed I'm browsing the web at 150% zoom. Ha.

Okay so 27% feels like malicious compliance (and it is). But what is a reasonable fee, who decides what that is?

Or in this case, eliminating eating food, period.

That's good to know. So you can run hipdi on the 4k with scaling (possibly fractional scaling) and normal dpi on the 1080p then? things don't get all blurry on the 1080p when X11 tries to downscale the screen?

Do any of those monitors use hidpi and scaling that's independent of the other monitors?

You've tried running screens with very different dpi then? If you have a window running at hidpi on the 4k and drag it over to the 1080p, what happens? Will the app get scaled automatically (hopefully the toolkit redraws instead of everything being blurry). My understanding is X11 cannot deal with that scenario at all, xrandr notwithstanding. But I've never tried it myself. Will have a 4K monitor to test with in the new year.

It's quaint that you think the United States is still a republic. It's a monarchy, and Trump's handlers are likely moving currently to make sure that when Vance succeeds him, that the Executive branch and a Congress that will be, through the use of naked force if necessary, remain filled with Republican paper tigers to complement the paper tigers in the Supreme Court, settles into the oligarchy the Framers always really intended it to be. The military will largely be used to recreate the American hemispheric hegemony. The National Guard and ICE will be used as foot soldiers within the US to "secure" elections.

The morons that elected that diseased wicked and demented man have destroyed whatever the hell America was. As a Canadian, I can only hope we can withstand this hemispheric dominance and the raiding of our natural resources to feed the perverse desires of the child molesters, rapists, racists and psychopaths that have already taken control of the US.

Doubtless, I will be downvoted by the remaining MAGA crowd here. You know, the guys that pretended they refused to vote Democrat because Bernie wasn't made leader, but are to a man a pack of Brown Shirts eagerly awaiting the time when they imagine they can take part in the defenestration of American society.

How well does X.org do with a dual screen system where one is 4K and the other is 1080P? For folks running laptops this sort of scenario is increasingly common, and X11 just doesn't do it very well.

I'm contemplating buying a 4K monitor and my main concern was how well X11 and the various desktop environments do hidpi. Having switched to Wayland, though, and with Firefox natively on Wayland and supporting fractional scaling, it makes the purchase a bit more comfortable.
