Navigation within a single workspace is pretty much the same as in Sway/i3.

I don’t remember how it’s done in Sway/i3. If you have two monitors side by side, moving the focus from the left most window on the right monitor to the left, moves the focus to the left monitor.

A major difference is the workspace design. In Cosmic, there’s currently a single set of workspaces for each monitor. In Sway there’s one set shared between all monitors.

The workspaces can be either horizontal or vertical, which is useful depending on how you configure a multi monitor setup. This is because with vertical workspaces, moving down from the bottom window moves the focus to the next workspace (and vice versa).

In my case with two monitors side by side, this is awesome, because moving the focus feels like moving naturally on a single giant plane. E.g. moving down moves to the next workspace, then moving to the left moves to the left monitor, where I could move up to the workspace above etc.

It’s difficult to explain for me, so I recommend giving it a try (or maybe wait a while, depending on your needs, e.g. there’s no VRR, no window rules etc. Also, currently monitors have to be aligned at the top edge to be recognised as side by side. If they aren’t, moving between monitors and workspaces doesn’t behave right.).

I like the Cosmic tiling better than Sway, because it tiles through the long edge by default.

I.e. If I just two windows after each other, Sway will tile them as two equal columns. If I open another window, it’ll add another column, while making each column the same size.

Cosmic also creates two equal columns with two windows, but the next window tiles the focused column horizontally.
With three windows this means half the screen is a single window, the other half is two windows taking up a quarter of the screen. Obviously if you instead focus another window, it’ll be tiled instead.

This is basically the same behaviour as the autotiling script for Sway/i3, but it works reliably (I’ve always had issues with those scripts).

Blocking incoming traffic and accepting outgoing traffic is usually the default for distributions anyway.

I’m not the creator of the survey, but I’ve just send them the link to this discussion on Mastodon, so they can take the feedback into account.

There’s an issue with posts about which games work and which don’t.

Thanks for the correction. It’s a shame that sysadmins balcklist middle nodes too, since they won’t see any TOR traffic originating from your IP address anyway.

Make sure to not refresh the page, else it seems like all progress is lost.
I found out simultaneously that I enabled pull down to refresh the page in Firefox Android.

Edit: The survey wasn’t created by me, I just shared it.

fclones is fast and supports hardlinking/softlinking of duplicates instead of removing them.

I’ve used it successfully to deduplicate my documents folder (and “archive”).

As its quite the amount of data, I recommend using the --cache option to make subsequent runs way faster, if you want to dial in the options. This directory can be deleted at any point and isn’t necessary.

There’s different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don’t face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.

Wenn wir von einer Geschwindigkeit von 150km/h ausgehen, wäre das ein Bremsweg von ungefähr (150 / 10) * (150 /10) = 225m.

Wenn jedes Kind ungefähr 30cm Platz braucht, wären das 218m an Kindern.

In dem Fall sind es sehr kleine Kinder, da sie durch den Aufprall das Auto nicht ausbremsen.

Mit der Dreifachen Geschwindigkeit an einem “Achtung Schulkinder”-Schild vorbeizufahren, ist doch noch im Rahmen.

Agreed. It seems like Nvidia is under pressure by their commercial customers for better, directly integrated open source drivers.

There is alot of demand for this kind of simplified virtualization infrastructure in the host side.

It’d be great of this meant SR-IOV for all GPUs, but this seems like it only allows for sharing of a GPU to multiple guests. And even then, with most of the driver being on the GPU this might not help regular consumer GPUs at all (features being disabled in firmware). But I really don’t know anything about what this actually means.

Stimmt. Dieses “Sicherheitspaket” hat mir mehr die Augen geöffnet, als die vielen anderen (Fehl-)Entscheidungen dieser Regierung. Bei den Meisten konnte ich einen anderen Sündenbock finden.

An meiner Wahlentscheidung wird sich trotzdem nichts ändern, weil ich bezweifle, dass eine andere Partei, im Gesamten, näher an meinen Wüschen wäre.

I disagree with the notion that it’s better for the cheaters to have an easier time (and less chance of being detected), but you’re right, BattleEye doesn’t solve the cheating problem for GTA.

Rockstar should fix their netcode and run game server on dedicated server, instead of their customers PC’s. I’d think decting aimbot isn’t the biggest issue, while cheaters are able to break entire lobbies…

IMO no game should require client side anti cheat except for shooters, where looking through walls and aimbot is actually difficult to detect server side. At least for those is it possible to find valid arguments (except for being lazy).

I didn’t know it was chosen not even 10 years ago, as it felt like it could’ve been around for longer.

So Wayland, a protocol, is needing the addition of other protocols?

Yes. What we know as Wayland is the Wayland core protocol and a few other protocols that are absolutely necessary for desktop use (stable).

Then there is staging, which is not necessarily implemented by all compositors, e.g. fractional scaling.

Unstable also exists, which is even easier to get a protocol into (idk the exact requirements, likely the amount of support and explicit dislike by contributors).
These are often only used by a subset of compositors with e.g. XDG decoration allowing compositors to announce to clients (windows) that they support server side decorations (top bar with close/minimize/maximize buttons). This isn’t implemented by Gnome, but most other desktops support it.

Different desktops also have their own protocols, which are published so that apps targeting those desktops can implement them. Some are also supported by other desktops, if they think they are suitable for them.
E.g. wlr layer shell makes status bars possible, which are used by basic compositors like Sway or Wayfire. KDE also supports it, even though it was originally created by wlroots.

Does this make it a Wayland Distro?

In a way you could say that a compositor is a Wayland distro, as it implements a subset of Wayland protocols.

In the end this is good, because it allows for rapid development and discontinuation of protocols. E.g. if a better protocol comes around, both protocols can be supported at the discretion of every compositor.

The goal was to solve the problem of X11, where Xorg still has to support drawing UI by itself, even though no program or toolkit uses it anymore (the 80s were very different). The Wayland core is so minimal there shouldn’t be any issue with using it for a very long time.

Also, Wayland was developed by people with the goal to use it in automotive and other industry applications, where basic desktop functionalities, like multiple windows or session lock, aren’t useful.

Cheat makers are likely behind this, asthey have monetary incentives to do so. If its Linux users I’d feel bad because stopping others from playing just because they can’t, is extremely bad behaviour.

I like the Moz://a branding, altough most people wouldn’t get it, so it makes sense to switch to correct spelling.

Whether the T-Rex is the coreect choice, is another question. I do like that it feels more creative than the basic, reduced logos of today.

Edit: I do like the new Logo. It looks good and it does match its “activist spirit”. Mozilla the corporation is different from the foundation, and I do believe, that Mozilla is closer to its roots than all other browser vendors - including the reskins of Chromium.

Blender and DaVinci Resolve work better on Nvidia. AMD might work, but it will be a hassle and you’ll likely need the proprietary AMD drivers anyway.

With Nvidia supporting Wayland and the open-source NVK continuing to get better, you could even switch to open source drivers for gaming at some point, if you prefer.

Edit: I’ve had enough issues with AMD GPU’s clocking down while gaming, leading to micro stuttering. So don’t buy AMD just because everyone tells you they work flawlessly.

For CPU and mainboard, everything works well — just don’t buy a random unknown SSD from Amazon, then you’re asking for data loss and random issues.
