Can’t take anyone seriously that uses the term luddite

Well i think the issue is if licenses become worthless then that’s also bad for the GPL

Yeah i think that’s right, i just wanted to confirm that it works with niri when using persistent workspaces, cause i prefer to have them numbered and that’s what i use for my other compositors, but niri has always been an exception because of this issue.

If it’s better sure, but i just haven’t seen genAI doing anything that’s better than what we already had. I saw some replies talking about neural networks, but i was obviously referring to the newer iteration of LLM slop that we’re seeing now, and that has been nothing but problematic. I don’t think you can blame me for wanting it all to go away when i’ve seen everything around me turn to shit because of this tech. There’s more negatives than positives.

I could probably run it so i might end up trying it if they actually manage to get it playable on pc. I also have a ps5 so i could just buy the game there if i wanted it, but i’m not willing to pay 100 bucks (cause that’s what it costs for the full experience let’s be honest here) for a digital drm game. If they had a disc release i would have probably bought it.

Hmm, i might have to give this a try. One thing i’m wondering though is will this also allow you to have the workspaces numbered on something like waybar? Right now for my niri config i’m just using icons to indicate how many workspaces are open and which one is focused, but i’m not using numbers right now because of the workspaces not being persistent

This is so true it hurts lmao

I had no idea these scripts existed, that’s awesome and i’ll have to take a look at tilemod in particular. I’ve tried niri a bunch of times but similar to you i feel like it’s too easy to lose windows. Not just on the same workspace, but i also wish other workspaces could be numbered so you can keep track of which workspaces have which windows on them. I know you’re supposed to use the overview for that, but i’m still not used to that type of workflow.

Another thing i would like is to have a more dynamic tiler style option where at the very least you can set it to have a window take up the full screen when it’s the only one on the workspace, and then split it side by side when two or more windows are opened. Mangowc’s scrolling layout supports this, and upstream niri could probably add this too, but it looks like this tilemod script can do the same thing.

What does that have to do with AI? We already had tools for that before AI, and they are probably more accurate

For me personally it has gotten to a point where i kinda don’t care either way? I mean i do think more people using it is good, but as long as it does what i need it to do i’ll keep using it regardless. The way i see it even if linux becomes more and more popular, you can still feel quirky if you want by just using a more obscure distro. It still gets you the benefits of using linux, and if linux gets better support due to it’s popularity increasing you still get all the benefits, but at the same time you can also enjoy being part of a smaller niche community that is centered around these more obscure distros.

I was not aware of that repo existing, that’s a pretty cool resource to have. Unfortunately i haven’t tried any of the river window managers yet. My distro only has the old river still and i haven’t bothered packaging anything myself (yet), but i am curious what the experience is like.

It’s funny, cause i haven’t had this happen on linux, but i’ve had both audio and network issues on windows 11

Hmm, yeah in my case the goal would be to actually speed up compile time of the kernel itself rather than speed improvements at runtime, but it does seem like a pain in the ass and your description makes it sound even worse lol. Nonguix substitution servers are working fine now though, and with my server being set up soon enough, if i the substitution servers are ever down again i can just let it compile everything once and then my other devices can just request it from my own server, so it doesn’t feel worth it to mess around with it anymore. But if i do ever feel like learning more about the kernel i might try it just for the hell of it.

Haha, yeah i hope mine still works for years to come too, cause even before the price hikes i was already planning on riding out am4 as long as possible. It’ll probably be fine though, only downside is that less negative offset means it gets hotter, which kinda messes with my current fan curve and fans ramp up all the time now. I think i heard about that relaunch. To me it didn’t sound like a bad idea initially, but i think they also jacked up the price which makes me feel like it’s just not worth it.

Oof, yeah that sucks. Now that i think about it i feel like a lot of distros that aren’t libre focused don’t bother with the libre kernel. If i could use the libre kernel i definitely would, but i really need firmware for my gpu and i think that’s the main issue. Wifi is also an issue but if that was the only thing stopping me it would probably be easier to find a solution for that with a dongle or something, but i can’t see myself getting rid of the gpu issue.

I’m playing with the idea of maybe compiling a custom kernel at some point, but it would mainly be to trim out stuff i don’t need to speed up compile time (i’m using gnu guix, and a few months ago the nonguix substitute servers were down for multiple weeks, causing me to have to compile the kernel myself everytime it got updated). I have a 5800X3D as well and it doesn’t take too long, about half an hour i think, but i still think it’s annoying if you have to do it regularly. On my laptop it takes like 1.5 hours lol. I’m not sure if it’s worth bothering with though, cause i’m also in the process of creating a guix config for my server and then setting up the server so that i can offload builds to it for my other systems (it uses a 3900x).

Btw for how long have you had your 5800X3D? I think i’ve had it since 2021 or something like that, but i think the silicon is starting to degrade a little, cause this whole time i’ve also been running it with negative 30 offset, but i’ve been experiencing hard reboots these past months with errors in the logs indicating cpu-related errors. I’ve put the offset back on auto and it seems to be working fine so far, so i think it just might need a little more power to be stable.

I wonder if some similar fuckery is going on with my hardware, cause i noticed my bios also claiming that i had multiple mice and keyboards, when i only had one of each, and i was always confused by that

Can’t wait till he’s dead

Qanon. To be fair though, i can’t say for sure he is a Q cause i haven’t looked into his channel too much, but i do know he’s a right wing grifter who uses maga talking points, and maga and qanon kinda go hand in hand.

He’s a Q lol, he’s not open to other ideas
