I think it mostly has to do with how coupled your code modules are. If you have a lot of tightly coupled modules/libraries/apps/etc, then it makes sense to put them in the same repo so that changes that ultimately have a large blast radius can be handled within a single repo instead of spanning many repos.

And that’s just a judgement call based on code organization and team organization.

Wild read.

The tradition of hat smashing continued for some time after the riots of 1922. In 1924, a man was murdered for wearing a straw hat.

I would like to learn more about that.

This reminds me of the apparent gnome-keyring security hole. It’s mentioned in the first section of the arch wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring

Any application can read keyring entries of the other apps. So it’s pretty trivial to make a targeted attack on someone’s account if you can get them to run an executable on their machine.

Got PDFs in my bones. Adobe pls.

It’s very fun to solve this one without help. There’s no parity issue, and it’s actually quite similar to solving a Rubik’s cube, but with a few extra algos necessary to complete the last “layer”.

There’s also the Wayblue family of Wayland distros, based on Ublue.

It’s hard to say for certain whether a distro will work for your hardware, even the Nvidia-specific images can have bugs related to the Nvidia drivers or their interaction with compositors.

I’ve used NixOS for a year.

I also tried Fedora Sway Atomic for a week or so. It mostly worked well, but I eventually found that it’s really hard to use Nix for development on a graphics application, because linking with the system Vulkan drivers is near impossible. The loader used by Nix’s glibc will ignore FHS locations. That seems to rule out a lot of the benefits of using Nix.

So I gave up on using Nix + Fedora as a failed experiment and went back to NixOS.

My wish list for Nix, Wayland, and Sway is pretty long. I kinda wish I had the time to make a new distro.

I just don’t support dogmatic thinking and indoctrination, especially when it creeps into politics, which is inevitable at the scale of the most popular religions.

In theory I have no problem with other people’s faith, but in practice it degrades the critical thinking capacity of our population and, paradoxically, the moral capacity as well. That’s a net negative in my opinion.

Charities exist without religion. I think religions often teach good moral frameworks, though very traditional. But those come with a huge caveat that you cut out a big hole in your brain for the belief that God exists and cares about how you behave. That one idea leads to so much trouble, from false prophets to normalized misogyny and hatred of gay people.

They are arbitrary but they at least serve as marking posts for real generational trends. I’m not sure there is much benefit in trying to find any categorization that isn’t arbitrary, so long as the generations are large enough.

So I’m seeing “Window Protocol: wayland” in about:support. Seems like somehow I’m just not affected by this issue.
