The biggest drawback of not providing any SSDs even as a fallback is obviously… what if the app just doesn’t draw CSDs?

Wayland requires apps to be able to draw CSDs, so that’s just a broken app. SSDs are optional extension. So the app should either use X11 (and rely on Xwayland to provide the decorations), or implement Wayland properly.

Charles university uses and develops something called ReCodex, and it is available on GitHub. As a student, it was very nice to use.

In fact, I think you’d be better off writing a deep dive into what/how environment variables work at build time, and also invoking commands on the CLI.

But LD_PRELOAD doesn’t really have much to do with build time behavior (unless you’re talking about replacing parts of the compiler) - it allows you to force a shared library to be loaded with higher priority than anything else, so it overrides symbols from other libraries.

It is recognized and used by Linux’s dynamic linker, which is run-time, not build-time.

Don’t know about the UK, but in central Europe it’s common for houses to get three phase power that can then be used on 400V three phase circuits and gets split (ideally evenly) into 240V circuits. And the fact that the phases have effectively zero coupling means that you also need to just try the adapter to find out if it’s going to work or not unless you happen to know how exactly your house is wired up, just like with split phase power.

Apartments usually get a single phase though, but IMHO it’s also less likely that WiFi won’t be enough there, so it’s questionable if that’s even a point for powerline.

You don’t need any swap space for suspend to work

It is, but it still works

The download will simply fail if the version pacman wants to download isn’t available on the mirror. The version is part of the download URL.

Wayland does force clients to be able to cope with a compositor that doesn’t do SSD - CSD support is mandatory, SSD optional.

That’s a weird question to ask under a post about an Android update. To answer anyway, the answer is probably yes - there is a GSI variant of Ubuntu Touch now, and there are projects that make your phone always boot into a GSI. If you combine these two things, you should get a Pixel that always boots into Ubuntu Touch.

Not with CGNAT

It’s a crappy clickbait title, I don’t see why it shouldn’t get downvoted

I guess how much people care also depends on whether they tend to use laptops in ways and places that are prone to causing damage to the ports. I’ve never damaged any port on any laptop I’ve ever owned, and it’s unlikely I ever will because I like to keep the cables organized and out of the way (so it would require conscious effort to tug on them), and when I want to pick my laptop up, I always quickly run my hand around its perimeter to make sure everything is disconnected.

I do not claim that this is the correct way to use a laptop or that others should do the same, it is a tool that should be used the way its user needs, I just want to point out that for some usecases, this is simply a non-issue in the same way a non-replaceable CPU is - nothing’s going to happen to it.

Also, my current laptop does have both a barrel jack (probably works, I’ve never used it) and a USB-C charging connector, so it’s not necessarily an either-or proposition.

Maybe you’ve tried that already, but does the tablet show up as a USB device when you connect it to a computer? Android devices tend to enter fastboot or another firmware upload mode when everything else fails.

Just to be clear, the applets were stuck while the laptop was plugged in? If so, then it might just be the threshold - connected, not charging, not discharging (because the laptop is running off the AC adapter).

For example on my IdeaPad laptop, when I enable the charge limiting feature it will get “stuck” at 59 or 60% while plugged in. It doesn’t have a configurable threshold. Although your laptop might provide a more fine-grained control given that you were able to fully discharge it while plugged in.

Hey, just a tiny note: static and dynamic addresses aren’t mutually exclusive. You can let SLAAC do its thing AND also set a static address on your server. Remember, IPv6 works best when you aren’t afraid of adding more addresses.

I agree, the fact that Meta considers 13 year olds being able to have romantic chats with chatbots to be perfectly fine is disturbing and IMHO the main newsworthy thing here.

However there is no mention of “200 pages of romantic interactions with minors” in the article - that is the whole chatbot guidelines document. Still, it including such things shows how shitty Meta is as a company.

OK, so the whole LLM chatbot arranging dates with people thing is obviously problematic, but this person simply tripped and fell, and the headline vaguely implies that the chatbot is responsible for his death. That seems a bit clickbaity - if it was a real person and they were actually waiting to meet at the agreed upon address, the outcome would be the same.

Idk, it surprises me it took so long for TP-Link to get into trouble with how they tend to support every HW revision of their routers for about a year and then stop releasing any security updates for them. That’s awful for a device intended to sit at the edge of your network, possibly having a public IP address.

Like sure, you can look for any reasons you want, but not giving a fuck about security in a device that’s always connected to the internet and also routes all user traffic is bound to get companies in trouble when someone with the power to do something about it notices.

Yep, Droid-ify has an open feature request for it. F-Droid has had this feature since 1.22
