Also no one uses X11 networking by default lmao, its always X forward over SSH, that is definitely secure and still something wayland can’t do.

Sure it can, with waypipe (like, for a while now...)
Just waypipe ssh <host> [command]

You can even run X apps over this through cage even when X11 forwarding is disabled by the host (because, you know, the security issues...)

Correct ^_^
Tank was likely captured in Egypt in the 50s or 60s, and transported to a military workshop next to the city - probably to study Soviet armour.
Years later the city was expanding, so they decided to move the base someplace else and someone decided to just burry the thing instead of transporting it again.
At least, that's the official, "logical" explanation that we got that conveniently ignores the possibility of secret Soviet space-time travel experiments!

Construction workers were digging foundations at a local work site and found a Soviet T-34 tank burried in the ground.

Important context:

  • My town is not in Russia or the former USSR.
  • My town is not in Europe either.
  • Our military doesn't even operate Soviet equipment.
  • My town is also not next to a border with a country who might have operated Soviet equipment when it was also not so friendly with my country.

There are some plausible theories, but to this day nobody really knows how it got here or why it got burried.

Ohh and the real kicker: the street this all happened on is named after an indigenous tank, so the news headlines all basically said "Tank found on Tank street!"

There's a very nice (albeit somewhat outdated) talk here.

In a nutshell, both X11 and Wayland are protocols that define how software should communicate to (hopefully) display stuff on your screen.
Protocols as in there's a bunch of documentation somewhere that says which function a program must call to create a window, without specifying how either program or function should be implemented.
This is great because it allows for independently written software to be magically compatible.

X11 is the older protocol, and was working ~~fine~~ good enough for many years, but has issues handling a bunch of modern in-deman technologies - issues which can't be fixed without changing the protocol in a way that would make it incompatible with existing software (which is the entire point).
Plus its most used implementation - Xorg, consists of a huge and complex codebase that fewer and fewer people are willing to deal with.

Wayland is the newer protocol, that mostly does the exact same thing, but better, in a way that allows for newer tech, and completely breaks compatibility in order to do so.

The trouble with the whole situation was that in order to replace X with Wayland basically the entire Linux graphics stack had to be rewritten - and it was, with raging debates and flame wars and Nvidia being lame.
They also wrote a compatibility layer called Xwayland that lets you keep using older X-only apps which somehow manages to outperform Xorg.

Now we're at the point where major distributions are not only switching to Wayland by default, but also dropping support for Xorg completely, and announcing that they'll no longer maintain it, which is why posts about it keep popping up.

... and fear amongst Hamas members

[–] feral_hedgehog@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lol, they fired rockets at Israel at 05:42 (ceasefire was scheduled till 07:00) and yesterday 3 people were killed in a terrorist attack that they (proudly) took responsibility for.
Guess we're due for another apology from the BBC...

But don't let the truth detract from those fuzzy feelings of righteousness :)

Does this mean I can stop setting MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND?
Or is it just enabling the compilation of Wayland sections (which I thought happened a while ago?)

תנו בראש!

[–] feral_hedgehog@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, what could those out of touch edgelords possibly know about terrorism?

If you look closely at the picture you'll see that it is in fact a Hamas terrorist, and not a child - don't feel bad though, it's a common mistake ^_^

 

Lets say someone sent me a link to this post on lemmy.ml.
If I click the little federation-link-hexagon-thing button I'm redirected to the same post but on OPs home instance of feddit.uk.
Is there a way to jump to the post on my home instance instead?
The post number differs between instances, so you can't just replace the instance in the URL.
I tried doing something similar to how community URLs work:
{remote_instance}/post/{post_number}

{home_instance}/post/{post_number}@{remote_instance}
But it don't seem to work...
I know you're supposed to browse things from your home instance, but people sometimes link posts in the comments and the only way I found to interact with them is to go back and manually search for them from my instance.
