In case anyone is curious, ezemtsov (EWM author) has a Skai port of Emacs [1] built for Wayland (only). [1]: https://codeberg.org/ezemtsov/emacs

https://github.com/tanrax/emacs-gpu/tree/wayland-pgtk-backen... The main emacs-gpu branch doesn't have wayland support.

I expect cameras will start to come with built-in IR filters in that case.

Sup b5! I always look forward to new work by expede (and n0).

I've used LEB128 (with canonicalisation) extensively and... this looks so much nicer for most use-cases (length prefixed, supports the full uint64 range without that extra 10th byt…

I keep trying it (coming from EXWM) but I get lots of lag, stutters, and poor fractional scaling. I'm not sure how much of that is "GTK under wayland", Emacs's PGTK build (known to…

Have you tried enabling MTP? Those numbers are similar to what I was getting on my Strix Halo box, but configuring/enabling MTP doubled the TG speed of the 27B model (18-20 t/s now…

Features like the magic cursor look cool: an infinitely flexible context menu. However, context menus make it clear what you can and cannot do. If the magic cursor can't "do everyt…

Nix and Lix daemon implementations are affected by buffer overflows vulnerabilities that allow a local attacker to gain arbitrary code execution as the daemon user (root in multi-u…

They aren't: > Users only speak to other players ±1 age group I.e., 18-20 can speak to 16-17 AND 21+, but 21+ can only speak to 18+

Box is still two words (length and pointer). That's better than the 3 words (length, pointer, capacity) for strings, but Box is one word (not including the heap allocation).

At least for qwen3.5, it looks like unsloth has updated their quantization algorithms to avoid bf16. See the march 5th update: https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-GGUF/d…

I've actually spent some time debugging why git causes so many issues with the backup software I use (restic). Ironically, I believe you have it backwards: pack files, git's soluti…

My experience is that Emacs wants to be your everything, and works best if you let it. Have you tried putting your terminals inside of Emacs instead of the other way around? * If y…

I live in LA and Waymos are the only cars I don't have to play chicken with when crossing the street. Even the drivers that see you will just give you a "sorry, I'm in a rush" wave…

I've been using it for 2.5 years at this point, and have the same experience. I don't think it's hopeless, but Kagi will need to step up their methods. IMO, there's actually a lot …

Copyleft is a mirror of copyright, not a way to fight copyright. It grants rights to the consumer where copyright grants rights to the creator. Importantly, it gives the end-user t…

The case was filed in 2023.

Maybe I've just lost all patience for fluff, but I gave up trying to figure out what the attack was from the article pretty quickly where the abstract answered all my questions imm…

The article is hot garbage, here's the abstract from the paper ( https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss-paper/airsnitch-demystif... ): To prevent malicious Wi-Fi clients from attackin…

We do need to provide better services, but that's not going to solve this issue. The vast majority of people struggling to make ends meet don't stoop to destroying public infrastru…

This article left me more confused than enlightened. I recommend reading https://risencrypto.github.io/Monero/ instead as it actually explains how the cryptography fits into Monero…
