in case you have not solved it, it’s easy on Sway. man sway-output (kinda) tells you how to do it. Here’s an example sway config line:

output HDMI-1 res --custom 1921x1081@61Hz

You can even change CRT timings like front porch, if you want that.

Don’t worry, the whole thing is that GNU boot contains proprietary firmware for testing coreboot. The only distros affected are GNU Boot and Canoe Boot. Upstream coreboot has that testing firmware there intentionally so it’s silly to call it “affected”.

FSF is doing great stuff for the world but I think FOSS is kinda held back by being led by nerds that are “a bit different”. (edit: I mean that with respect. These nerds are surely nice people and great coders but imo not great philosophical leaders)

Ok thanks for the reply. I will try that. I probably should have noticed the “this branch is 7 commits behind” notice lol.

What do you mean by not being arrested? I would say German police putting a black bag on your head and taking you to their station in the middle of the night is something one could consider an arrest.

I mean their August 2023 blog post was basically “We were busy, sorry for not posting updates.” So considering you can still normally buy and receive a product from them, they are probably busy again. (or don’t want to write blog posts) Which doesn’t mean Pine64 is dead, just that you won’t get updates.

Imo it’s good that they aren’t releasing another useless product but it’s a shame that the Pine Note isn’t available for purchase now that it has matured. Would have been such a cool device.

I think you are confusing “making another fedora fork for a laptop brand” with “porting a booloader to the device” or “writing a driver for the screen”. Simply put you would not be able to use the hardware without the software. Outsourcing it to the community makes the hardware cheaper but the sideeffect is that the software will be crappy even after years of development. For some reason people aren’t very keen on writing the low level stuff.

If you compare the Espruino smart watch to the Pine64 smartwatch, it’s a night and day difference. My guess is that it’s because Espruino handles the low level stuff and let community do the fun stuff, while Pine64 leaves everything on the community. Imo you need a fulltime developer who actually spends time looking in the datasheet and figuring out, how to properly put the PineTime to sleep, not just people who peek into the docs every Saturday.

However, it is important to keep in mind that to my knowledge no one has ever been arrested for running a exit node in a western country.

There links to other occurrences of arrest in the comments.

He is the head of LTT which might be a reason someone hates him. LTT has a track record of “don’t ask questions, just consoom product” reviews. Basically every product gets recommended, which makes the reviews kinda pointless. This has kinda improved after Gamer Nexus’ critique but not really (see Just Josh’s video). Also some wounds cannot be healed like making a sponsored “Gaming at 8K with nVidia” video before the RTX 30 series released even though they could not game at 8K@60Hz or, my personal favourite, comparing the Intel’s (10th gen) bulk CPU prices to AMD’s retail.

He’s in a similar position as Marques Brownlie. They are the most popular reviewers despite/because they make garbage reviews. I used to hate MKBHD for that but I am grown up now. I could see why someone would hate Linus though.

DEs need to embrace tiling functionality and transparent windows (eg. playing a YT video under your LibreOffice window). It’s the only proper way to use a tablet. Obviously KDE’s Windows-like taskbar is a nightmare for tablets but even Android’s “deck of window cards” is crappy for anything that you couldn’t just as well do on a smartphone.

I don’t know how to say it in a polite way but you are annoying. Original commenter stated that they want to keep the politics out to which you answered with a political argument that can basically be translated to “You are stupid”.

I guess you come from some internet political circle where the “My idea is the best and everyone else is dumb” is tolerated because generally these “communities” have common views. But this /c/ is not a place for that. People don’t share a singular opinion here so if everyone acted like you, this fun linux forum would no longer be so fun. Everyone would just crap on each other because each would think their opinion is the best and others are dumb.

I personally come here to relax or something, not get tired by arguments.
