so you're going the way of systemd now, abandoning all UNIX principles of "one tool for one job". Why --out-null, when there's a shell redirect to /dev/null? This is becoming monolithic bloatware!!11! /s
ooh. I built a quiche rust client that can do both those things. Might be able to help figure out how quiche +curl can do it once the other aspects settle

já jsem z matrixu trochu nešťasný, protože to volání fakt nejde rozjet a občas i to UI je těžkopádný - nemůžeš prostě odeslat víc obrázků najednou z mobilu. Tak nevím, zatím to mám jenom na chat, ale abych mohl bouchnout do stolu a doma používat jenom Matrix, tak potřebuju funkční volání. Strávil jsem na tom cca 6 hodin v součtu a furt to hlásí chybu při spojení hovoru. 🤦♂️
So, does this "goo.gl" problem actually mean all the goo.gl stuff, or is it just third-party URLs getting cut? Gmaps is still creating maps.app.goo.gl links.

Given it's Google, I wouldn't be too surprised if the answer is "we had this built by a fresh graduate that we like to exploit so much, the shitty Go codebase is too hard to maintain, Gemini didn't manage to refactor it, and more profit is more good, so fuck you, internet". Because, well, capitalism.

Xbox is the first video game maker to introduce new tags designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to know if games are accessible, but many others in the industry are set to follow suit.
@hj yeah the Generative AI stuff likely uses more energy but unclear how much
As for Netflix quality: unsure, but I suspect the different isn't that much. E.g., I'm not sure an SFP+ module uses significantly more energy to send and receive a bit more data.
@jcsteh oh yeah, that would be the most logical. Think I'll accept it. Hahahaha. It's a bit odd as it opens the full-screen individual mixer and not just the "sndvol" panel with volume alone, but it's way more convenient than hunting it down in settings for per-app audio routing, so I suspect I'll be using it a lot along with VAC.
@mcourcel @DavidGoldfield @rlegowski1 lol I think that's why this is misleading slightly for volume - it's the more advanced per-app volume mixer that lets you choose where something outputs to without fancy cables, not just the standard master or per-app volume control only.
When working on my homelab, I regularly need to pass credentials to my tools. A naive approach is to just store the token in clear text, but there's a better alternative.

> The porn site operator explained to the court that BitTorrent's protocol establishes a "tit-for-tat" mechanism that "rewards users who distribute the most desired content." It alleged that Meta took advantage of this system by "often" pirating adult videos that are "often within the most infringed files on BitTorrent websites" on "the very same day the motion pictures are released."
Well that's not true at all; that's not part of the protocol. That's how some private trackers work, though.

Who cares? The laws weren't on the books back then. You don't get to retroactively enforce laws like that, and this information has no value.
I want to defend Wayland here and explain a crucial piece that I think people are missing...
The splitting of protocols in Wayland and compositor reimplementation were to allow for new form factors. It had to sacrifice the guarantee of all desktop app functionality being present to achieve that.
The idea (as I see it) was never to have 500 desktop compositors all trying to reimplement the same thing with slight differences. Iinstead, it was for 500 different interfaces for different platforms that are compatible with the same apps (e.g. desktop, laptop, phone, car screens, AR/VR, watch). Different form factors have totally different ways of dealing with interface, but share enough common features where it makes sense to have 1 base protocol and many other ones for device/form specific features.
Problem is, while in 2008-2016 we had a ton of new experimental UIs coming out on a semi-regular basis (that was the peak of the whole convergent phone/tablet craze, smartwatches started, fancy car UI, touch tables, early AR/VR) things have quieted down. The purpose of Wayland's insane modularity hasn't been visible to most people given it's almost always complained about in a desktop contest vs X11. But X11 was literally only designed for a desktop form factor and has been refined for that 1 purpose for decades!
As an example of different form factors, Wayland lets IVI (in-vehicle infotainment) systems work way better than Xorg could have. Desktop window layouting on that platform would inherently produce massive amounts of unnecessary complexity, and the ability to direct scanout saves on power/expensive compute. Automotive Grade Linux and COVESA maintain reference interfaces for cars so companies can iterate a ton faster. Wayland gives the app compatibility and they can make the system UI work with more flexibility and ease than an X11 window manager.
Take Linux Mobile too, the compositor can reliably enforce window layout and boundaries and composition. While this could technically be done with an X window manager and compositor, doing it with Wayland guarantees reliability as the app simply doesn't have a choice or room for error. Some things like drag and drop of toolbars doesn't make much sense on mobile given how small the screens are.
There's some interfaces where X11 is basically impossible to use. In AR/VR (where i am making a Wayland compositor) the concept of a screen simply does not exist. How is an app supposed to position itself when the very concept of 3D is not part of the protocol? In Wayland I don't have to implement the protocols that don''t work (e.g. layer shell) and therefore any apps that don't need it will be compatible..
Wayland has allowed for insane levels of flexibility, things that no other display server architecture can do reasonably. Total flexibility between app and screen, direct scanout without hacks, AR/VR support, etc.
Here's some fun and useful stuff that's been done with Wayland, stuff that X11 could never reasonably do:
Multiple user collaboration on touch tables with arbitrary rotation: youtu.be/8xtjJTJAQsY
AR/VR apps running in windows and volumes at the same time, all interactable back in 2014 (eat your heart out magic leap and apple): github.com/evil0sheep/motorcar
Presentation slides that were themselves a Wayland compositor written in Qt and QML so therefore allowed fully interactive live demos in an integrated form factor with a very popular and easy to code UI framework: youtu.be/mIg1P3i2ZfI
Cosmic panels are actually Wayland compositors, meaning widgets can draw literally anything from any toolkit in any language.
Now, could Wayland devs maybe have distributed features across protocols better? Worked with app toolkit devs to ensure the protocols they made actually fit what the apps and compositors needed? Stopped bikeshedding (though imo many cases of "bikeshedding" are simply accounting for other form factors)? Absolutely!
My point here is simple: there was a reason for making it this modular, for not having a standard implementation. It wasn't just devs trying to impose some ideology, it wasn't some corporate takeover. It's good reasons that people using X11 on their desktop/laptop don't encounter. If we made something that wasn't universal, most apps wouldn't be compatible with it and therefore everything but the desktop form factor would lack apps.
I should love Matrix. It is a decentralised, privacy preserving, multi-platform chat tool. Goodbye Slack and your ridiculous free limits. Adiós Discord and your weird gamification. Suck it IRC with your obscure syntax and faint stench of BO. WhatsApp and Telegram can stick their heads in a bucket of lukewarm sick and sing sea …
yep, I have similar feeling of it. Still using #xmpp with my family members. It's much simpler to host and it just works. It has good android app #conversations and pc apps #dino and #gajim

Something to always be aware of: Many wheelchair users can stand and move around for brief periods of time. Not all wheelchair users are paralysed. Reasons for wheelchair use are numerous and varied.
Some wheelchair users choose not to stand in public because chances are they will be chastised and harassed if they do. With more awareness and understanding this risk can hopefully diminish over time.
For example, if a wheelchair user is able to retrieve their own wheelchair from the boot/trunk of their car, this does not mean they are ”faking”, and accusing them of this is ableist in itself.
”Ambulatory wheelchair user” is something you can search for to learn more, as many are sharing their experiences online, like Lauren:
Sometimes, discharging capacitors in audio interfaces make fun noises. This was recorded from my Allscan.info ANR-100, which is a box that you substitute for a radio when using Allstarlink if you just want a local speaker and microphone. Essentially, this is a CM-119 sound fob, a mic preamp, an audio amplifier and a compressor thrown together in a project box.
