This is how you know Musk is a fraud. This far into his career and he’s leading teams into rookie mistakes.

Or, he knows this will break it and that’s the goal. I’m just not sure how he avoids the blame.

I am absolutely in awe of the skill of these people, reverse engineering Apple hardware in their free time.

Absolutely classic music player. The iTunes 1.0 UI pattern, which was pre-enshittification. To my eyes, I still don’t think I’ve ever seen a more overall efficient and descriptive way of browsing a local music library.

I pretty much just want a functioning vanilla Gnome desktop, remap caps lock to control, and I’m happy.

Yes indeed. Well: 0x0007.

I’m on trixie, since recent Mesa has many fixes for very old Radeon GPUs, and it appears to be on by default! At least, I didn’t intentionally turn it on and it’s on.

I think I did go with LZ4 after looking at benchmarks; I figured on a weak CPU speed would be more valuable than another few percent of compression. I’ll have to look into the RAM page read-ahead.

Did you need to compile a kernel to enable it? I’ve just done the project of installing Debian on a 20 year old iMac with 2.5 GB of RAM, and while zram definitely seems to help, I’d love to try this as well.

I would have agreed a few months ago, but tell that to Joe Biden.

I so badly want a source for this.

Well I was going to try Hyprland this weekend, but I think instead I will very much not do that.

I hope someone forks it from a good commit just before they replaced wlroots. I don’t know the specifics of compositor code at all, but I bet It’s going to cost them quite a bit of velocity to maintain their replacement.
