I've heard plenty of those stories, I'm asking about this specific instance. Your first article is talking about something unrelated to this, and the second is something that happe…

Please show proof of that in the specific instance you're talking about before dismissing someone as "part of a mob" or a "bot". Studies I've seen show that it's not always bots. S…

Are you saying that someone who has a computer, internet and a twitter account can't have their life threatened? What? If someone says their life is threatened, I suggest listening…

There are some comedians who, upon hearing that someone is offended by one of their jokes, would have the courage to ask why, and listen deeply to the answer. They would then take …

The phrase "twitter mob" is dehumanizing, I really suggest you stop using that phrase like that. Consider the individual and why some statements may have caused them to become upse…

GNOME isn't dropping themes, that was some misinformation that went around twitter. See this blog from a GNOME developer for more info on what the situation actually is: https://bl…

Either one, it wasn't explained how the protocol can be used to do any color depth higher than 8 bit. Also the PNG format is extremely common and supports 32-bit color, so if you d…

>Yes >Good. Please avoid these snarky responses, this is not helping explain anything and will not serve to change anyone's mind. >I HAVE TOLD YOU AT LEAST 4 TIMES: YOU NEED TO USE…

I figured something like that was the case, thank you for the explanation. Still that seems like a bad hack that terminals are not going to implement because it goes off-spec. It s…

From reading the protocol "spec" I do not see how it could be used to transmit 32 bit color (or higher). The spec describes 8 bit indices into a palette. I have seen no sixel tools…

I'm asking for people to stop posting these rants. There's nothing wrong with scratching an itch, but the rants are just inflammatory and cause drama. I have never personally found…

https://vt100.net/docs/vt3xx-gp/chapter14.html#T14-1 Am I reading this incorrectly? It seems I was wrong, it supports 8-bit color, not 6-bit color. But that's still terrible, and e…

>Not with 16 million colors. That's what 24 bit color mean (2^16) also called "truecolor" mode >Try to use sixel to play videos in mintty, with 24 bit support so palettes aren't a …

That explanation isn't convincing to me, it's getting more into emotional territory (they are hostile because they didn't accept our patch) and away from technical territory (here …

You're saying you're "reading between the lines", that reads to me like an emotional statement, not a technical one. Please let's focus on the technical issues at hand and what has…

Have you read this issue? It goes more into detail about the issues with sixel: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/... If these issues keep coming up, and …

>This is such a good read. I really like their project and their motivation. I can't agree. Like most rants, I found it to be very needlessly emotional, lacking in the technical de…

I do think this website is still small enough to have decent moderation, but there are plenty of borderline toxic and/or trolling comments I've seen here that go unmoderated. I've …

I'd be careful with that, I don't see why game development would be any different. You still have to focus on customer satisfaction. Single indie game developers succeeding without…

I'm guessing the article refers to a form of "cowboy coding" or similar things promoted along with the myth of the 10x programmer, where there are attempts to apply that practice (…

There is a standard API for screencasting and it works fine if you're only doing screencasting. Since the API is in the xdg portal, it sits at a layer above Wayland and X11 and in …

>I still can not fathom how Wayland could even exist this long without any decent way to do screen recording and I also do not get why there is no official protocol or at least ext…

That's not really a big deal, you could just develop a small shim for that d-bus API if you really needed to. But I agree, it would be better for them to switch to Pipewire.
