Bookmarked for later.

My exposure to Linux is pretty minimal, especially Linux with a GUI, so forgive my ignorance. Even reading over this thread I’m confused as to the issue here.

I don’t need an ELI5, but maybe someone can explain it like I don’t know what Wayland is?

My understanding is that an app should ask the system to display an object at X size, let’s say text at size 14. The system then works out that at the currently selected display resolution, size 14 will be Y pixels big. If needed, the system can scale that based on user preferences- a small, high DPI screen could render size 14 at only a couple of millimetres, for example.

Is the problem that devs are building things in a way that bypasses scaling? For example, hardcoding size 14 text to be Z pixels high?

Hardware should lead. It’s easier to upgrade the software to make the hardware work, then it is to upgrade the hardware when the software decides to support it.

I put off Factorio for years, because I knew I’d like it a lot. Had some free time in my life recently, so I went for it.

Send help.

I’ve got a whole library of upvotes that I haven’t even used yet.

According to this map, Korea is actually somewhere in eastern Russia.

It’s for when you want to poop in the sink

Using the water from handwashing to fill the cistern just makes sense.

As someone who is only trek-curious, the problem I often have in this sub is finding fucking amazing shit like this but not knowing which episode it is! How the fuck do I even massage that animorph broken family story into a search query?

And I am certainly not going to put ‘Doctor fucks candle ghost’ into Google.

Update: I guess I lied, because I certainly did put it into Google. Should I buy this scented candle? https://files.catbox.moe/fpq4i8.png

It’s like, gotta be just one line of code, right?

My friend, if you think you want small boxes, what you actually want is Gridfinity.

You’re welcome.

Some of that is similar in more rural areas here. Property addresses will often be the number of meters their driveway is from the start of the road.

Genuine question - why would the house numbers be different?

In urban areas, I’m used to house numbers starting at 1 at one end of the street, then incrementing as you go along. Usually odds and evens are on the opposite sides of the street. So the house on the corner will be 1, the house opposite it will be 2, the house next to 1 will be 3, and so on.

Each street starts the numbers again.

Is this not the case where you are?

I’m just happy to be doing my part to make copilot worse.

Wanna talk about poisoning LLMs? Just assume the coffee in my repo is in any way good.

I’ve paid anywhere from five bucks to get Madge at the corner shop to smear some vaguely avocado looking goop onto burnt white bread, to twenty bucks for gobs of perfectly ripe avo on artisanal sourdough with lemon myrtle dressing, garnished with some kind of deep fried flower and a bit of grass on top to look pretty.

Aussie reporting in. I can’t recall the last cafe that I went to that did not have avocado on toast, in some form, on the menu.

Heh, the first Lemmy post I saw after checking your message: https://lemmy.today/post/4080156

I may have been a little unclear- but you got the idea about the setup. It’s actually both- the displays area their own hardware with their own IP, which I access for scheduling power and what not - but the image comes from the Windows machine.

Thanks again- I really like your idea about the main machine not having a gateway set. I’ll propose that to them- Although if that requires another machine on that network, local to the signage, it starts to look like a PiKVM might be a simpler option.

I’ve got the R3, love it.
