I have a 12vdc direct power USBC charger for my tablet. This will totally fry any normal USBC device it touches.

this is pretty much how it works in some cases, you need to port from one protocol to another, or to a different system altogether.

that's just the thing, This is again, more fragmentation, Some compositors support always on top, some don't, you choose x protocol for your app, and now your app works great on sway, but not on KDE or gnome, or it works great on gnome and not kde or sway etc. As an app developer the situation is a bloody joke. My current stance is "just use xwayland because wayland will never be suitable" and thankfully with cosmic and kde both supporting "don't scale xwayland" this seems to work well.

EDIT: they also make enough deviances from the upstream protocols that this can't really be considered a "experimental branch"

EX: https://github.com/misyltoad/frog-protocols/blob/main/frog-protocols/frog-color-management-v1.xml vs https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14/diffs

Yay, another set of protocols that will just lead to more and more fragmentation.

You do acknowledge one issue with Wayland, probably the biggest issue with Wayland, but then fail to acknowledge the second biggest issue with Wayland being fragmentation.

Solve one issue by making another issue worse.

Nine times out of ten, running chown on Android is an astronomically bad idea. 10 times of 10, what you're trying to do right now, is an astronomically bad idea.

What is it you are trying to do? Or rather, why?

The best YouTube TV app for desktops is YouTube TV.

Look up PS4 Pro Leanback UserAgent and I recommend using that with Chrome because Firefox has a little bit of bugs. If you use it as a web app it works pretty well. The one caveat is you cannot exit out of it without enabling a developer flying in Chrome, without that flag you need to use alt + f4.

You want to use a web app or kiosk mode, specifically because resolution that you get in video is determined by the window size at startup, so if you have a 4K display, it needs to be full screen at start or else you will not get 4K video. Playback, you'll only get 1440p.

Otherwise, just full screen it, then refresh.

I personally have found that the kodi plugin is quite frankly not very good.

Cromite. It's easily the fastest browser i've used. Good baked in adblock is all I really need, and the increased performance and compatibility vs firefox is nice.

yeah, that could indeed happen I suppose, didn't think of that. Though I wonder if because of EME, an alternative drm solution could be viably implemented.

this has been a bit of a meme, but if you wanted to look at XL as extra large, then that could refer to the max resolution which is far great. I've seen people refere to it as "extra long-term" but I think the real reason is they just wanted to fuck with us

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

I don't think this is a thing just yet. at least not that I have noticed

like what? I can kinda understand them not cooperating but how on earth could they lock them out of features?
