bacteriostat,

The conflict was triggered when the state High Court gave a verdict in favour of the Meiti community for a long standing demand for special previliges.

The Wikipedia article about the violence has a good overview.

bacteriostat,

I have 2 systems and both are AMD machines with impressive performance per watt (obviously not as good as Apple's M series). Intel has a long way to go before they can be a genuine alternative.

bacteriostat,

LOL

bacteriostat,

The data leak is of AADHAR database. Which is a proof of identity that is required by everyone to avail government services. It is even used for SIM registration and opening bank account.

Government has been recently trying to link Voter IDs to AADHAR. It is already linked to Tax Account called PAN.

It has been turned it to a surveillance tool and this leak can be huge if true.

bacteriostat,

Signature for Izzy and Github are same.

A bunch of improvements landing for Firefox on Linux smartphones (floss.social)

In the past couple of days both Pipewire (and with it libcamera) support and hardware video decoding with V4L2-M2M landed for Firefox to work better on Linux smartphones, which development for has started to grow exponentially in the last months. Great news overall for the future of the mobile platform!

While Linux phones seem a distant dream. I think these are the major features that are needed for it to be a suitable daily driver for developers:

  • Waydroid - Cause we gotta have android apps.
  • Proper 5G/4G/3G Support.
  • Availability of more devices that can run Linux.
bacteriostat,

I am afraid, Google might never do it.

bacteriostat,

I guess things are still rough on Nvidia.

bacteriostat, (edited )

That's an unusual issue, have you reported it on bugs.kde.org ?

bacteriostat,

Fair enough.

bacteriostat,

When was the last time you tried? And which GPU?

bacteriostat,

Yup. I am myself running Plasma Wayland on 2 laptops (both Ryzen APUs) for over an year now. Seems like Nvidia is the biggest limiting factor.

bacteriostat,

I understand and X works fine for a lot od people but do remember the number of developers maintaining it have been dropping year on year. No harm in trying IMO. If you are on Plasma or Gnome, you get a simple switcher on the login screen.

bacteriostat,

It is reasonable to continue using X due to Nvidia issues.

bacteriostat,

That’s just one specific issue. It doesn’t mean that the whole plasma wayland session is a pain. Been using it for more than a year now.
