lurch, to linux in A response to the "Boycott Wayland" article

I think that’s only true for the programs, not for the JVM/JRE code. The JVM/JRE doesn’t support Wayland without the xwayland compatibility layer. Also, some games use “native” libs that do optimized 3D stuff. Those are special Java classes, not part of the JVM/JRE that interface with C libs, kernels, system calls and hardware directly. Some will stop working without an X window to connect to. Some are long forgotten and won’t be ported.

I often switch between Wayland and X. My only concern is java does not yet support Wayland and old native libraries (e.g. 3D stuff for no longer maintained Java games) will probably break, once Java actually switches. Java and some Java games work with the xwayland compatibility layer, for now, but there are glitches sometimes. There are multiple projects porting Java stuff (e.g. Swing) to Wayland. All unofficial and incomplete.

Better shoot it with a tachyon beam too. Just in case.

Firing just works different if your position is for life.

Well it is a bit gay if you’re an army seargent and your privates have the same gender as you.

lurch, to linux in One single partition for Linux versus using a partition table?

Except for EFI/swap, partitions nowadays only make sense if you want to force a hard cap on a directory, e.g. /tmp, /var/mail or /var/spool to make sure one function of a system doesn’t break the others when it goes out of hand, but there’s also quotas for that. It always sucks if you have to resize, so it’s probably best to have as few as possible.

This reminds me of the last episode of “The Continental” of all things. A follow up of this side plot would be nice.

Their stupid ass logo looks too much like the old X11 logo. At least Xorg has a cirlcle thing. 😤

I’m in the west and i don’t. I think we like to use GDP and Inflation. Those could be better, but they are not too bad. The stock market is mostly for gambling.

I don’t think those hypes are proppin up any the economy. Basic needs, like food, do. Those hypes are like the furniture in top floor of that building.

The idea was to have races mixed together better and not have people from historically discriminated races get stuck in poverty because of lack of education. So, they tried to make sure there were some of them getting university degrees. It’s not completely absurd, but they just started it from the wrong end. They should have made sure the discriminated races who are underprevilleged had more help by helping all poor families, so their kids can focus on school better and it’s fair for poor people of the historically oppressive race, too.
